[SOLVED] 0xc00000e9 After Install
Wow... This install is driving me nuts. I've never had this much trouble installing an operating system.
Here goes.. I'm trying to get Windows 7 64-bit installed. First I was getting an error about corrupt files during extraction, so I swapped out my RAM and that seemed to take care of it. Then I get a boot disk failure, so I swapped HDDs and that took care of that.
So now, it extracts and as soon as it reboots and gets to "Starting Windows," I get 0xc00000c9 error telling me that the registry is messed up.
System Specs:
585W (psu)
AMD Phenom II x3 720 2.8GHz BE (cpu)
Biostar TA790GX 128M (mobo)
2GB PC2-6400 (ram, 4GB pulled out as it will give me the corrupt files when extracting)
WD 160GB IDE (hdd)
PNY Verto 7600GS 256MB (vid, pulled out)
Linksys Wireless-G (wifi, pulled out)
LG 16x DVD-RW (external)
LITE-ON 16x DVD-RW (internal, disconnected as it prompts for drivers)
I'm now burning another DVD at 4x to see if this helps anything. Any ideas in the meantime? I've been at this for 2 days now... I've installed the same ISO onto two other computers (via USB flash drive) so I know that's not the issue. I can't install on this computer via flash drive, because in the BIOS if the primary bootup disk is set to USB, the hard drive is not displayed during setup (so there are no options available to install Windows to).
Thanks.
