Cant Install Win: Two common errors

[ionasjr]

Hello tech guys. I'm trying to reinstall my win 7.(from DVD)
Firstly i was faced with this error 0xc00000e9 and for fixing it i've tryied the following:
1. running chkdsk c: from win comand. also ran chkdsk c:/f , chkdsk c:/r
2. changing from bios AHCI into IDE ( that resulting intro BSOD and i freaked)
3. disconected all my USB devices
! none worked !
On a second thought i found a USB and used WinToFlash to boot it up with Win7. There i was blocked by the error: A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing. Tried these:
1. clicking X and changing the USB port (with all my 3 ports)
2. tried to repair in windows recovery tool.
3. tried changing SATA options.
The usb drive shows up in the "Browse for driver button" window.
I'm currently writing you from notebook with problem, with specs.
MSI cx623, i3, gf 310m, win 7 x64, 4gb ram, WDC5000BEVT 500gb, i dont have usb 3.0.
Thank you all for your time.

The first error is most likely caused by a defective media. Your DVD might be damaged.

The second problem usually happens by one of the following:

1. You are trying to install over a 3.0 port. Windows 7 by default, doesn't support installing this way as the technology didn't exist when W7 was released.
2. The media is damaged too, but not necessarily in a corrupted way, more like not properly made bootable. I would try UltraISO (there's a free trial that works fine for this) with the "write disk image" to create your bootable USB install.

UltraISO was the solution, made another bootable USB but this time with SP1. Seems to be working smoothly. Thanks !

No problem. I've had these issues a lot and most of the time they are one of those I listed. I honestly don't know how people use WinToFlash, as on many computers I get the exact problem you describe.

Glad I could help.
