Need help with Windows 7 installation

just copied the files from the iso over to the disk

I think, that may be your problem.

Change your "first boot device" in the BIOS to boot from the USB drive, then boot from the USB and see how that goes.
If your motherboard does not support booting from a USB device, then you will have to use a DVD disc.

Keep us posted

I tryed over and let it be for the night +10 hours when i got up i had passed the completing installation so i think it was slow.. :P
+ i have an ASUS P6X58D Premium, and i had to reset the CMOS and stuff but it's almost done :P

Stuck on Windows 7 Startup repair ''Attempting repairs'' and have been for 3 hours now...

The last time I had a startup repair take a really long time was when the system partition, or the partition with the boot files, was not marked as active.

When you get to a point you can stop, we need to look at the drive using Diskpart, or you can download the home version of Partition Wizard and boot to and check the drive that way.

Did a complete and fresh install again. The problem is still CLASSPNP.SYS so safe mode is never an option...

Where are you seeing the Classpnp.sys error. It is normally the last thing shown during a boot if you are watching the loading.

Were you able to find any of the install logs mentioned?

There is always a chance a problem has developed with your system. But right now you don't seem to be getting any place. Perhaps some different steps might be suggested.

Your system has never installed all the way. Maybe some compatibility issues with Windows 7, perhaps a drive problem, or maybe a motherboard or other system based problem. I say this because you feel your media is fine.

As far as I can tell, you have not yet "cleaned" your hard drive. Any chance of getting a new one to test?

Do you have another computer you could use one of your drives and install Windows 7 on a temporary basis for testing?

Can you boot to the Flash drive and use the Repair option of the Install media? We can try some commands from there.

Hey when the error shows is when i try to go into safe mode it stops at CLASSPNP.SYS. As i said i did a clean install over night, and i got to the login in screen (i told me it needed a password and i had not chosen a password) i let i be for 10 min looking for a fix and i restarted. Tryed to go into safe mode stopped at Classpnp.sys again (did the install with only mouse, keyboard and 1 moniter no internet cabel.) Where do i find the install logs? . I have talked with the guy that built my PC and he said he had no problems with the install 2 years ago, for about 8 or 9 months ago i had to reinstall windows 7 and i had the same problems as now. But then a day i turned on the pc and it just worked. And i did a full format and deleted the old partions on the hard disk. I do have a laptop but i have no experience with connecting the harddrive to another. I have done all the commands possible (sfc /scannow /bootdir etc. and commands that repair boot service etc. so i do not know what to do now

I just reinstalled to remind myself of the install sequence. During the original install, it asks for you to enter a password, but you do not have to. It then shows "Preparing Desktop" and then opens to the desktop. Have you already gone through this part and were able to get into Windows? If you have and it is rebooting and asking for a password, either leave it blank, or think of one you might have used before? Was OEM software used before? Did the person that originally built the unit use a password?

Do you remember what partitions you deleted? If it was an OEM install, maybe you need to reinstall that part, but just guessing since I have not used an OEM version of the software.

But you should still be able to install the downloaded software at least for testing. You are using the License from the original software? Have you tried leaving the license key blank and unchecking the "Active when online" box?

I was just playing with re-imaging my system from a NAS. The re-image seemed to complete, but when the reboot occured, I ended up with a choice of booting to Windows normally, which did not work, or Safe Mode which did not work, or command prompt, which did not work. I did not get a PNPclass type error message, but that was the last driver to be loaded prior to a subsequent blue screen.

I put in another drive to re-image and the system worked and booting fine, so I reinstalled the first drive and started running some WinRE commands to see if they would work.

An offline System File Check stated it could not complete the assigned operation.

A Chkdsk /r took 5 hours to repair 3 files which were included in the first 1500 of 134,000. I decided not to wait for it to finish.

The bottom line is something corrupted my re-image. The image is good, so it was possibly something related to the network or some other problem with the data transfer.

Eventually, after cleaning (using diskpart) the offending hard drive and trying again, the re-image worked.

All I can suggest is you try cleaning the hard drive, or getting a new one.
