Hello, I recently built a PC and installed windows 7 for refurbished PC. Something went wrong and I had to reinstall the OS all over again. I was able to reload the second time but internet explorer wasn't working. I reloaded the windows 7 the 3rd time and now it does not want to reload with an error of hardware or software failure. i upgraded the memory from 2gb to 4gb which worked on the second reload but was too slow and internet explorer wasn't working at all. Like i said the 3rd reinstall was coming out with failure. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Many name brand machines use their own proprietary back up system. Even having a different format for the partition. This might be why you cannot restore or "reset" with a Microsoft Windows CD. You can install it only when you delete all the partitions on the machine first.
Before I delete, everytime it tells me to pick a partition to install windows 7, it is giving me a prtition 0 w/ 100mb and partition 1 with the hard drive capacity. I formatted partition 1 and had it installed there. I guess you were suggwsting to delete partition 1, correct? what happens to partition 0 which doesnt have the delete option, will it autonatically delete and assign a new partition?
No. I actually bought a new mobo and installed windows 7 on it. As i mentioned earlier, it worked the first time around with no problems until i hooked up a fan to the HD and upgraded the the memory from 2gb to 4gb. The windows 7 cd is for refurbished pc.
Most OEMs design their OS disks/partitions to only work with their hardware.
If you replaced the motherboard with a board that is not from that OEM you will have to do a full format on the hard drive and have to buy a retail or system builders license and cd.

ok...another problem. The OS is working but I can't get "my computer" to open up to see my drives. It keeps telling me that windows explorer will restart but doesn't. If it's not one thing it's another. Anyone came across this problem after windows 7 install?
