Hi. My friend had let me borrow his windows 7 disc because I have been getting non-stop blue screens. I was happy until I found out that 64bit would not install but 32 will. I've done everything I can think of to fix it.

The install goes until it gives me the infamous "please make sure all the files are available" error. It happened with the 32bit install as well but I kept trying and it eventually worked. No such luck with the 64bit though.

I was thinking about buying a new hard drive because I'm not sure exactly what the problem is. I want that to be my last resort so here I am asking for help
 
Solution
Don't bump. Patience is the key

A boot CD like Hirens BootCD will allow you to check the hardware

So I disconnected my video card and tried installing windows. Same error about missing files.
Any other suggestions?
Also,is this a hard drive specific problem? I've run the memory test and it detected no problems. I can't run memtest as I cannot get onto windows. Unless it's possible to run it before then.
