Hello Friends,

Once i format my laptop and try to install windows 7 again but i did not allow me to continue with installation , so i tried with Windows 8 it is also not allowed me to continue the installation
but the end i able to install the windows xp

Can you please help me to know what is the issue here and how to install Windows 7 or windows 8 normally?

Could you add some more details? ...
>your disk setting in BIOS might be off,I remember having trouble installing windows on a laptop due to BIOS not being adjusted correctly (the part where you select the ways you access your hard drive,and stuff like that,can't really remember it right now)
