Hi
I've been trying to install Windows 7 Pro upgrade as dual boot with XP Home, and keep getting the message (something like) "Disk read error - press ctr-alt-del to restart" at the first boot during the installation process.
Have checked the hard drive for errors, and there are none. Have replaced the hard drive with a brand new one, and get the same result.
[I also tried installing Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade, and get the same result.]
I have :
Pentium (R) Dual-core CPU E5400 2.70 GHz
Two SATA hard disks -- 500 GB & 1 TB (have been trying to install Win7 Pro on the first hard disk)
DVD Multi drive
4 GB RAM
Windows XP Home
Help is much appreciated. Thanks.
