bgattis · **Retail Windows 7 install fails -** 10-26-2009, 03:04 PM

I got my Windows 7 Home Premium in the mail this weekend. I try to do the custom install on my 10v. The install goes fine. Finishes the install and on first boot it gets an error and fails.
My questions is do I need some kind of drivers on a USB drive or anything like that? I tried to different retail versions of Windows 7. 2 different external DVD drives and it happens the same way.
I'm reinstalling XP again and then I will upgrade to Windows 7 so I can post the error if needed.
Has anyone else ran into this problem? Is it something simple that I am missing?
....Frustrated....

I have yet to run into any kind of install error with Windows 7, either on my Minis or any desktops I've tried. What exactly is the error you're getting?

Turns out I have a bad 2GB stick of RAM. Getting error PFN_LIST_CORRUPT. In contact with the manufacture to get it replaced. Thanks for the reply.
