This is a brand new pc without on os.

I have tried to install windows 7 from a burned copy but with 3 different disks i always get stick at the same part. it gets to a poin after I have the option of creating partitions in my hard drive where it says "Expanding windows files" after a bit of a wait a message pops up saying windows cannot install required files make sure all files are available and restart windows.

Im not sure if im doing something wrong in the burning process (i just choose burn iso)

Any help would be greatly appreciated

If you need any info just post ill pay close attention here for a few hours

Bad Burn

You've burned multiple times? Are you sure the original file isn't corrupted?
