My friend is trying to do a clean install of Windows 7, but it won't let them because it gets stopped by this Unattend answer key file.. file key something. It's my copy of Windows 7 that I downloaded from a site called "dreamspark.com" - it provides free software for students. It is not a stolen or scammed copy of Windows 7.
We're not sure what the problem is? I used the CD recently to install Windows 7 and I'm completely fine, no errors no nothing. Did some searching and people have said it could be failing hardware, but the computer isn't very old and has shown *no* signs of anything going bad. Should we run some tests and if so what should we do/with what tools?
My friend is trying another Windows 7 CD to see if that's the issue, but let's pretend it's not the problem and it happens again. Would we need a new hard drive or something?
Thanks for reading and thanks for any help.
Edit: I should note that my friend does NOT have a floppy disk and does not have a mac. It's just a windows PC, no virtual anything. We have no clue what this Unattend file is. I'm going a little crazy trying to figure it out.
