Hi all, first question, and a pain at that. I have used two non-descript z-97 motherboards. An MSI, and a gigabyte. With tested ram, a reliable ssd, and three different windows 7 discs, 2 burned iso's, one purchased disk. ANywho. WHenever the installation gets to 50 or 60 percent it says files are corrupted, cannot continue installation. Tried a dif dvd rom drive, re-arranged the ram, I have never had this installation problem before, and as I know the components are good, ram, dvd, ssd, and I am using three dif windows disks, I cannot for the life of me imagine what could be causing it. I tried putting an ISO on the ssd, for a restore from image but the system never finds it. I did once manage to mount an ISO from a command line, or powershell, but I forget how. In the morning I am planning to install the iso on a blank formatted hard drive again, and try to get some mounting program on there with it, if I can run That from command line. I am also considering cloning a fully operational computers hard drive and seeing if that will at least get it up and running. I also keep having trouble with windows saying the harddrive is in MBT or wrong format mode, but then when I change the partition style, it complains about That setting too, and one minute later works... SOrry I am vague without screen caps or more hardware info, but I am still at a very loose stage of my inquiry. This is my 6th or so build, and they have all gone literally like clockwork up till now.
