try changing from "ACHI" to "IDE" in bios. i think that the error that you ae talking about is "windows setup cannot configure windows to run on this computers hardware".

enter bios, Press F7 on your keyboard, click on "advanced tab"> "sata configuration"> "sata mode" and select "IDE"

home, but i don't get it, do i need to get a new usb and download the iso on it and boot?

download this 64bit version of windows home premium with service pack 1 form: http://msft.digitalrivercontent.net/win/X17-24209.iso
burn it on dvd, or make a bootable usb flash drive
installation is easy, at the end it will ask you for activation key

I'm sorry but i'm a complete noob, you mean with a bootable drive like a 4gb + drive with fat32?

use this program: http://www.wintobootic.com/
it will automatically burn windows onto your usb flash drive. you ust need to select the .iso file that you downloaded. beaware that this program will wipe existing data on your usb flash drive


if you want you can burn windows on a dvd disc if you have a dvd drive
