Can you share some information as to what you are attempting to accomplish?
Are you trying to configure a dual boot with XP and Win7? Since there is no actual straight upgrade path from XP to Win7, exactly how are you attempting to install the New OS., are you booting from the Install Media, what is the source of the Install Media? Did you purchase a retail disc? or ... Are you booting from DVD or USB device, which you have personally created from an ISO? Do you have the correct version for your system architecture (32bit vs. 64bit)?
Thanks
Randy
Yes that is what I was asking, and thanks for confirming.I tried to load BIOS setup default but it dosen't help.
What do you mean whether I'm booting from the install media correct?
I insert the DVD, reboot the computer and when appears a "For boot from CD..." message, I press any key. Then the Windows 7 setup process is begining and after loading files step, BSoD appears.
I tried this suggestion - same result - BSoDIs it possible that this mainboard has an integrated video controller on board? If so, have you tried the install without your Nvidia Addon graphics card installed to see if the install process proceeds any further by just using the integrated graphics chip?
Is the Blue Screen error message the same everytime? Same stop error?
Yes. BSoDHave you tried with only a single stick of memory installed? Windows 7 is a bit more finicky about memory than was XP.
OK. I'll try to find any information in a MSI forums.have you looked to see if there is a support forum for MSI, where you might find someone with specific information regarding your hardware? With legacy hardware these things can be difficult to shake out.
How large is the actual partition that you are attempting to install Win 7 on. You state 16 GB free space, but Win 7 is considerably larger than XP. Perhaps the partition size needs to be increased. My Win 7 installation, with many other apps including Office 2010 complete install occupies approx 27 GB on my C Drive. Windows does need some overhead to install and work properly.
I set my Win 7 partition to 75 GB and have approx. 51 GB free space.
