Gaming Win 7 Installation Unsuccessful!!!!!!

[Ryukouki]

OK, so I wanted to reinstall Windows 7 Home Premium. I used my recovery disk to recover to factory image settings, and it was going great until the end of the install, where I get a red error that said that the install was unsuccessful and that I should insert my first recov disk again. I did this like 3 times and now I have infinite reboot loop, displaying the error at each run. Does ANYONE have a viable solution? I hope I don't have to send it in or throw my laptop out the window... would an installation disk work? I have no idea whatsoever.

Wow, i just got an error today to. I upgraded from Vista to windows 7 and it failed durring the installtino and it tries o revert back to vista but cant. I tried booting with Ubuntu and recovery and all this stuff but it just wont work. I lost all my files now as I'm reinstalling windows and my parents are super mad and I;m gunna have to pay them because of all the important stuff they had.

haha

also:
use ubuntu to boot from disk and recover your data then do a fresh install.

Seriously people. Failed install does not mean your files are lost. Get an external drive and copy all your files that you need to it from a linux environment.

Or do a proper backup when your files are important...

This. +1

People only want to backup stuff once it's gone.

I still can't believe people who don't know what they're doing would try to reinstall a OS on a computer that they have files that aren't backed up!!

Installing a new OS is rated "M" for mature (17+). You shouldn't be playing with this stuff for a good 10 years.

Windows 7 running smooth on a old HP upgrade from vista no problems at all
