I am trying to install Windows7 Ultimate on an older HP G62 Notebook.
I have got around this error extracting the driver from the HP package(thx @joebakb) and pointing the installer to it in the drive selection dialogue - according to setupact.log it is recognized

No clue what to do !?
It would be wonderful if somebody could help


might be an error related to the usb install with YUMI !
"When installing Windows 8, 7, or Vista from USB, you must unplug the USB device before the first restart, otherwise you will receive an error stating: from their FAQ
trying again now

Need more background...

What media are you installing from? A restore partition on the hard drive? I don't understand how Sysprep got involved in your install.

 

[USAFRet]

Why aren't you just doing a clean install on that drive? Why the Sysprep?

 

[skit75]

Ahh I see.

Also make sure you're installing to an active partition. If you used an OS from this hard drive to make to bootable USB stick, you may need to switch the active partition from the current OS partition to the new install partition.

YUMI might be using parts of sysprep to create the install image for the USB stick.

 

[USAFRet]

Ah

Try using this
Windows USB/DVD Download Tool
or this
Rufus

...to create your USB install media

The problem stemmed as i guessed from the USB install and from having created the stick with YUMI.
There is a documented problem with Windows Setup not recognizing the USB stick it has been launched from.
So once the install environment is ready and any additional drivers are loaded setup has to be aborted (close the window) the stick removed and one can restart ,otherwise an error stating "setup was unable to install a new system partition or find an existing one" comes up.
Later once the first 4 parts of the Windows install are done and the system reboots you have to remove the USB stick (if it has been created with YUMI atleast) otherwise Setup cannot configure the bootmanager on the harddrive...

No idea what leads to this behaviour though ..
This was a fresh install with a USB stick created from the original Microsoft iso

I don’t see the need for either of these tools. Just use DiskPart to make the USB stick partition active (and to format FAT32 if needed) and copy the contents of the ISO into the partition. These extra utilities just add complexity, even if they do give you a nice button to click (GUI).

True.
But it just makes it a bit easier.
