btw, thanks for the help Lurch. 

Isn't that what this forum is for (as long as you aren't a 5WW, DIYer, plumber, other non-electrician....)!

I haven't got his number, and he probably hasn't got mine. I don't like telephones anyway, or people, or anything really.

but, this way,

if it can be explained to someone like me in small words,

then someone that actually CAN use a computer may also get some use out of the info provided as well.

Might be late to this party but when a clean W7 install fails on a new hardware system (when apparently all went fine and left doing windows updates) the problem is often that the W7 OS drivers cannot deal with much newer 4K-sector hard disk drives - The same problem frequently causes Non Genuine Windows Installation warnings too before the final mess-up. 

The root cause is an out of date version of the Disk-storage drivers that Windows 7 installation disk has on board and the updated version - while available-  is not prioritised enough to update before the warnings and crashes start . .

You deserved that!

 

[Andy™]

You deserved that!

you'll regret that!

 

[Lurch]

Yeah, I did as soon as I pressed it. If the forum owners weren't so slack on maintenance and updates I would have hit the undo button (or not pressed any of them if they weren't here).
