Hi guys,
I am having some windows 7 installation problems
When ever I go to install my Windows 7 Ultimate version, it seems to get about 0 - 11% on expanding windows files and crashes. I have made seperate partitions, Ive tried pulling out ram. UNfortunately, Im not a computer technician, so I don't know what to do..
I have wiped my HDD. and still nothing..
Does anyone have some answers?
Quick replies if possible

Which version, which build, what hardware and how much hard disk space have you allowed for your W7 installation.
You need to be a bit more specific if you want people to try and solve the problem.
It's actually WORSE than taking your car into a garage and then saying "It doesn't work" because at least the technicians can see and play with the actual hardware (your car).
On boards people are "working Blind" so need at least basic information to help other people.
In general W7 installs fine on almost ANY machine assuming your install disk isn't "contaminated" in any way.

Some important items missing in your SPECS that might give a clue are:
- EXACT make and Model of your Motherboard, Video card, Network adapters or contrlollers [Ethernet (and Wireless if present) ]and Sound card if the PC is custom built,
- Make and Model of the computer if it is a Brand Name computer . This information is often displayed on the chassis of the computer, often at the back on a sticker .
A lot of people are turned off if there is not enough information in the post about the system, a good description about the problem and what led to that symptom -all important to make a logical deduction on possible diagnosis of the condition causing the symptom. Unless someone else has had the EXACT problem and they had solved it and is reading and able to help, it is a logical step wise diagnostic process that is needed to troubleshoot. I am sure a lot of guys will be willing to help.

Not that these will have a problem, but...
Motherboard:
Make - Foxconn
Model - 965x7aa
Video Card - Nvidia 8600 GT
Network Adaptors - (on board?) Generic Marvall Yukon Chipset Based Ethernet Controller
Sound Card - Again onboard..... Realtek High Def Audio...
Just for the info, My bios is up to date.

It is only a suggestion but have you tried to install the windows 7 disk on another computer to see if the disk is viable ?
I have a foxconn mother board and have had no problems with windows7 . I really think the installation disk could be the problem . Always burn ISO at slowest rate possible . Hope that has helped
