From DVD
Actully got Three Win7 DVD's
First one worked on an older PC just fine!
the other two (one is a All In One edition) and other is straight 64-bit edition
all three don't work on my newer machine.
I found the log file by loading the System Recovery Options and using the command prompt with these commands
cd \
dir/s *.log
cd X:\Windows\panther\
type setuperr.log
(nice to use dos commands on a 2010 OS!)
The error says
[0x06069e] IBS GetMachineInfo:Couldn't find boot disk on the BIOS-based computer
so will google that, let me know if you get the msg!
OK I am using a Gigabyte GA-965G-DS3 R1 board and have found that by enabling SATA-AHCI and SATA ports as Native (Not IDE emulation) that Win7 iscurrently installing!! Will let you know progress!
Win7 installed and is okay now! Even on an old P4-3.0 (i865, DDR1) it was quite, so some older machines will be suitable for Win7!
