Intel i3 Desktop board DH55PJ

8 Gb Ram

Nvidia GT 240

Ok so i did installed Windows 8 Release preview 64bit on this drive before but after few days when i installed Nod32 Antivirus something went wrong and windows started behaving strange.

So i decided to reinstall windows 8 on the same drive and i first Error Code: 0x80070570 while trying to install.

"windows cannot install required files. The file may be corrupt or missing. Make sure all files required for installation are available and restart the installation" <-- This is the message

I did some googling about it and people said do the Check Disk both from the Right click - properties and also from CMD. And Nothing!! No Error found!

I did the formating several times then i tried to install windows 7 64bit with usb again!! Same error So tried to install Windows 7 32bit Same error again while installing.

Then i tried to install Windows 8 64bit again and it showed another Error Code 0xc000000f.

Now!!

When i boot with Windows 8 usb right during the windows 8 boot splash it gives BSOD and it restarts and doesn't even gives time to see the error.

Btw i have got on 1 hard disk Windows 7 and on another Ubuntu and had dual boot grub with all 3 OS's and now its all messed up plz help.

Is the hard disk corrupted and how to fix it? :cry:

There are a few reasons this could be, I had a couple of corrupt CDs so maybe it was a bad ISO, also as of windows 8 you need no such antivirus, windows 8 has anti virus built in and doesn't accept any other anti virus (at time of writing) hope this helps! Dan

well its the same ISO i used to install before and it worked but after installing nod 32 antivirus things just got all messy. So what should i do? Redownload the New Windows 8 ISO?
 



Hi :)

Just for information, 8 DOES accept other Anti Virus, I installed Norton Internet Security 2013 on a customers lappy today....all fine...

All the best Brett :)
