    machan la mama windows 7 64bit eka installa karanna try karanawa mage lap eka ta,but error ekak enawa.menna scene eka

    1) it get to the "windows is loading files..." black screen (starting from CD/DVD drive)
    2) get to the starting windows, with the Windows 7 loading screen thing where the balls of light come together
    3) get to the first window to install Windows 7, titled "install windows"
    options:
    - language to install (i chose english)
    - Time and currency (i chose US)
    - keyboard (i chose US)
    there is a next button, i click it to get to next step
    4) bigger button saying "install windows" with the Windows 7 logo just above it, i click the button
    5) Windows 7 background with the words "setup is starting..."
    ...i wait...
    6) next window it is titled "load driver"
    "a required CD/DVD drive device is missing. If you have a driver Floppy Disc, CD, DVD, or USb Flash Drive, please insert it now."
    "NOTE: if the windows installation media is in the CD/DVD drive, you can safely remove it for this step."
    there are a few buttons available to choose from:
    - browse
    - OK
    - Cancel
    i click 'OK'
    7) theres a little loading bar that says it is "looking for the drivers..."
    8) another window pops up titled "load driver"
    [exclamation mark icon (coloured yellow)]
    "No device drivers were found. Make sure that the insrtallation media contains the correct drivers, then click OK."
    (i click 'OK')
    9) the same window appears that is in step 7,

    machan you should not do the load driver thing just select the partition you want to install windows 7 & if you need format it or what ever then continue ... This works for me machan
    But your condition may vary anyway i have installed win 7 25 + times but never encounter such a problem

    boot up using the DVD
    then once the setup runs you have to select the language as you have done here
    then machan as i can remember you get to select update or fresh installation so chose as you like
    then select the partition you want to install win 7 either you create new one or format an existing one or use as it is
    Thats all brother sit back n relax

    (any way this is as i can remember suggestions are welcome & I think these are critical )

    ehema oni nae ban what you can do is that use a XP cd to format the partition n then use 7 dvd again to install ok machan n if those dnt work change the installation disk machan i cant think of any other fault
