    Drivers w7

    It will probably be the sata driver download the sata driver and on to a USB drive and search browse to the folder on the USB drive.

    You should then be able to continue

      Make sure you have a good copy of w7 I.e. no scratches on disk

        google 1337x put in windows xp and search in there plenty to download from there, also install a free copy of imgburn once downloaded if its a iso file right click it and open with imgburn and that will make a bootable cd for you...then do a fresh install using that disk i also use magis iso to extract iso files

          Late i know ... but i had a similar prob with my daughters lappy.

          i put ubuntu linux on it then reinstalled windows 7 and it worked a treat ... still not sure what corrupted the original update ... but that solved it.

            I'd stick with xp too if I were you, they are readily availible everywhere. You might want to dban it 1st before putting anything onto it too. If your having a problem with xp once you get a disc because of the sata drivers you can download all the sata drivers needed & get a program called nlite & merge the sata drivers with the xp disc, sounds complicated but its not. As said on page 1 vista is the biggest load of crap ever.

              Looks like he has sorted it and got 7 on there now, well done for that but I think you'll end up considering putting xp back on as your lappers specs are too low for 7 - ignore all the sata drivers suggestions as yours doesn't have sata
