I have just built my grandfather a new computer, when i went to install Windows 7 it has problems and says error 0x803000025. It also states that it requires drivers. The hard drive is there in the boot menu. but the OS wont install.

Any quick advice would be great.

specs:
MoBO:ASUS H61M-A-USB3
CPU: Intel CORE i3 3225
RAM: 4GB DDR3 KINGSTON
CD/DVD drive
No PCI card

Hmmm I installed mine thru flashdrive and it also had a problem like this. What I did was, when this prompt showed up, I just switched the flashdrive to another usb port. Try ejecting the cd, then putting it back in when the error prompt pops up.

The disk is brand New and so is the SATA cable, there are only 4 ports on the MOBO and 2 are intel i have just swapped them around but. I will take the disk home tonight and check if there are any errors. Any more possible suggestions ?

This worked for me. I switched my drive from a USB3 to the USB2 and clicked install again and it worked
