sween64 Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 I installed Win7 clean and after the first restart fails to load. I tried in safe made and it locks after it says loaded: windows/system32/drivers/disk.sysI am running i7 920, Gigabyte EX58-DS4, Sapphire 5870, Pioneer Blu-Ray BDC-S02, WD 1TB, Zalman 750W.What is wrong?

cluberti Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 disk.sys loads, and then any filter drivers (or disk drivers) that rely on disk.sys load. Sounds like, if this is just a clean install, the driver for your disk subsystem isn't loading properly. That board uses the ICH10R, which works fine out of the box in Win7 (I have many systems using that without issue), so I'm not sure what's happening. Is it the first restart after Windows finishes installing, or is it still installing?Also, is this a 32 or 64bit install? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cluberti Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Is it a hologram install DVD, or is the install from a burned ISO or thumb/usb drive? I would think the hardware would be fine, although testing a downloaded source in a VM first is usually a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sween64 Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 It is downloaded ISO Enterprise 90 day trial. I've been told that 6GB can some times conflict with the install. I'll take 2GB out and then try and install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sween64 Posted December 23, 2009 Author Share Posted December 23, 2009 Didn't make a difference. I'm gonna burn the ISO image very slowly, that might make a difference.PS I always verify my burns, is that enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 It would probably be better to try the ISO itself in a virtual machine - it might not be the media at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
