When I upgrade to a gaming desktop, I was attempting to sell my old laptop to a friend and used the ASUS Recovery Disk to do a system default (Windows re-installation). Unfortunately something became corrupted during the install and I had to format and re-install from scratch. After going through the initial options (basic/advanced setup, etc.) it begins the install process fine. It will then instantly finish the "Copying files" step, and go straight to unpacking where it hangs up. I have seen other forum posts referring to chipset drivers causing these problems, but I haven't been able to find any relevant drivers on their website.
Has anyone else had this problem? I have been searching for quite awhile and the only current solution is either Linux or SteamOS (Who knows it might be cool)
Attempted Methods:
- Win 7 OEM Disk [Failed]
- Win 7 disk (I burned at lowest speed) [Failed]
- Win 7 via USB [Failed]
- Windows XP (Cause why not try) [Failed]
- Ubuntu 10 (I think?) [Success]
Specs:
- ASUS N81vp Laptop
- Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2gHz (64bit)
- ATI Radeon HD4670 1gb
- 4gb Ram
- Attempting to install Windows 7 64-bit SP1
