    Windows 7 32 bit oem installation failure
    « on: May 01, 2010, 05:29:58 PM »
    I am attempting to install Windows 7 32 bit oem version on a
    Compaq Presario S5200NX
    2.7GHZ CELERON
    3.0 GB RAM
    120 GB SAMSUNG HD
    NEW,P4M900-M4 MAINBOARD
    Wiped the existing,corrupted windows xp system with SPOTMAU
    Initially I mistakenly attempted to install a 64 bit version...which started to load files and then informed me of my error by stating I had a 32 bit machine.Obtaining a 32 bit version to use the product key on,I cannot install it as immediately states:
    BOOT FROM CD:DISK BOOT FAILURE INSERT SYSTEM DISK HIT ENTER.
    Do I need a OPK,or......what?...Thanks for any aid

    Spotmau should be officially classified as malware.

    What do you mean you have a 32 bit machine?

      The windows 7 64 oem version at install informed me that the configuration of the hardware was 32...It is using a pentium 4 cpu. I was given a burned 32 bit version of windows to transfer the product key license from the original 64 bit oem version ,from the store that I bought it from...yet it will not recognize the 32 bit disk.  How do I get this to read the 32 bit version?

      We can not help you.
      You need to settle this with the store where you bought it.

        No,it WAS NOT necessary to go back to the store,for those who were interested in this thread,it was resolved by using trying no less than 3 different drives temporarily patched in until one read the disk they supplied. Installation was successful,and that is how it went. ;D

        I was wrong. Thank you for coming back.
        Would you like to share with us how you did this?
        What kind of drivers?

          Thanks for all help given,and the welcome, I intend to contribute when able. It was not DRIVERS, but DRIVES....for some reason,I needed to use different cd/dvd drives,until a Hewlett Packard cd/dvd drive read the disk correctly,and installation commenced. Thanks Again,Take it light.
