I've tried to install Windows 7 Ultimate and Windows 7 PRO on a veriton m6630g. The install completes and then at the end when windows is starting services I get an error which states......"Windows setup could not configure windows to run on this computers hardware".

I've built custom images for clients for years and have never seen this error before. Anyone recognize this error???

My client bought about a dozen of these machines and their going into their office, however, they only use custom images. The machines were bought from Tiger Direct Business sales. The media that is being used to create the new images is media shipped from windows. I've never seen this issue before. I'd hate to return a dozen machines because the manufacturer tied a specific OS to their BIOS/system board..

OK found the issue, with help from "rgd1101", and our friends at Microsoft (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2466753). The AHCI controller was set to RAID, and since there were no RAID drivers initially installed at the beginning, the OS didn't know how to talk to what the BIOS was saying was the installed hardware. Anyway, thank you all...couldn't have done it without ya........
