Windows 7 file decompression bug.

I'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that.

Hi.
Have you received any solutions?
The first step isn’t working for me either. I will try the second one, but I’m not very confident...

Hi thedevils17,

I tried the first step and it didn't work just like you.
I'm going to try the second one and I'm afraid of running into your situation...
Have you received any answers to your problem?

Thank you in advance.

Actually, it doesn't work even with the second step...

Hello,
if anyone is still interested, boot from the DVD containing the Windows 7 ISO, go until the install now prompt, remove the DVD and insert a USB stick where you have previously copied the same ISO image as on the DVD, click on install now and the installation should proceed normally from the USB (it stubbornly refused to boot in my case, hence the change of media along the way), happy installation hoping it works for you....

And it keeps getting stuck. Finding another Seven Pro 32 bit CD might help me?

Before, with XP, everything was fine? Just to better pinpoint the problem...

I explain. I just bought a new motherboard, RAM, processor, and graphics card. My hard drive was therefore configured for my old setup and thus under XP. I have installed the drivers, etc. for my new setup on it, but now I want to switch to Windows Seven.
Yes, everything was working perfectly under XP, but now that I've started to install Seven, I had to click on format the partition to install Seven on it. Consequently, I can no longer boot from my hard drive knowing that it contains no OS. I can only go into the BIOS and boot from the Windows Seven CD, but the problem persists, the loading remains at 0% at the time of extracting the Windows files.

To see more clearly: You boot from the Seven DVD, you get to the screen to partition/format and then it stops at copying files to the disk?

I boot from the Windows 7 DVD, I reach the screen for partitioning / formatting, I click next, Windows files copy 100% and then it goes to the step: "decompressing Windows files" and it gets stuck at 0%. I waited 2 hours and nothing changed.
I tried to install it by allowing a 100MB partition to be created automatically for the system files, I tried with a single partition, and I even tried creating a third partition. Nothing works.

It's piracy. My God...

Hi

"However, to our great regret, it will only work with the English versions of Windows 7."

Nothing more.

I am currently in the command prompt and formatting using the command format c:/fs:ntfs. What should I do after this operation?

Reboot and start the normal installation; if that doesn't work, come back.

Ok, and do I still run: bootrec.exe /fixmbr and bootrec.exe /fixboot if it doesn't work?

First the installation, if it's the same, you run these two commands one after the other, then you exit the console with the command exit

These two commands are sometimes useful when there has been another operating system on the hard drive besides Windows, for example Linux, or when Windows won't boot for various reasons.

The decompression is happening!!! :D. I will keep you updated at the end of the formatting.

ok! that's good news
