Hello everybody!
Maybe someone got some clues how to install Win7 on such old MB. I've tried original image, but install didn't even start, after some preparations in the begining (I'm talking about white indication stripes on the black screen) - the PC just reboots. And so it continue to reboots every time...
Then I've tried "light" version of Win7 from some programmers (downloaded it with uTorrent). The good thing - installation begins, but it takes too long to go to the next step. But when it must be a step of choosing a disk (where to install) - I get message with driver requirement. It tells, that I need to choose a specific driver (as far as I got it - it means HDD driver, ATA or AHCI)... Kinda found some drivers, but when I choose it the install simply stops - not going to the next step, no any other messages, though the mouse is still active.
Maybe there is some special images if Win7 that is designed for such old hardware?
Thanks for any help and best regards from Ukraine.

You should be able to get it installed the same way on the other systems, don't know why those particular computers have issue, I installed Windows 7 on Pentium 4 systems before with no issues.

First, don't use hacked Windows 7 copies, aside from not having valid licenses for it, there is no way to know what else has been put in there.

Second, did you try with a new/newer hard-drive? Are you using a DVD or USB to install it? Try the other way whichever you were trying.

Hi.
I'll be glad to use only official licenzed win7 copy, but, as I were saying, setup don't even start. So I've tried so-called "light" version, that at least begins installation.

I've tried not just new HDD, I've tried the same PC (with same hardware) - and got the same result.
And I've tried both USB and DVD as boot souce. Same result, though.

I've a little progress few hours ago - I started setup on other PC on original HDD (still that "light" version), but after first auto-reboot I turn off PC and but my HDD back to first machine. To my surprise, it worked - win7 finished the installation even without DVD, just asked me to type username etc...
But I still have nearly 5 PC's needed to install win 7 (they used to have the same problem). And I don't know if the same trick will work fine for them too.

So any solutions will be highly welcome!
