Hello everyone
I have a computer "HP Pavilion g6-1060sj (laptop)"
Today I bought this SSD: "SAMSUNG 840 Pro Series MZ-7PD128BW"
And installed properly.
I try to install the operating system but get an error message:
537x402px_LL_5f155206_installationerror_1.png


I tried to install via USB flash and DVD through
But without success ): same error...

I would appreciate any help possible.
 
I have seen that same error with a corrupt installation CD. I had created a USB install stick and gave me the error. Then when I tried from the CD, I got the same error. When I used a completely different disk it worked fine. I then created a new USB install stick and that worked fine too. So the original disk was corrupt in some small strange manner. If possible, get a new ISO from download and try that.

The other thing to try is another USB port maybe?
 
I've seen this happen if you have a USB 3 controller that doesn't have support by windows.
My p8z77v-pro has and intel chip that was supported and an asmedia chip that needed a driver.
I see that your laptop doesn't seem to have usb3, but it is possible that it is looking for a driver for something else like the card reader.
you might also look into the bios and change the mode of the HDD from ahci to ide or sata.
There also may be a way to skip it and see if you can continue.
If you can't get that to work you can try this next bit. It is manually initializing your new SSD, this will wipe all the data so be careful.
Before you get to this screen where you click on install windows there should be an option to 'repair your computer'
click on this and then after it finishes looking for windows installations on your disk select the option to use recovery tools and click next.
them pick the option for command prompt. I think it should be the last option. You need to hit enter after each of these commands.
at the prompt type: diskpart
then at the diskpart prompt type: list disk
from the list find your ssd, probably disk 0, but whatever one it is use the number when you type the following: select disk 0
next type: clean
next type create partition primary
next type format=ntfs quick
close the command prompt and close the tools window and try clicking the install now button again and see if it works.
I hope it does.
if it really if hanging up on your card driver or something else, try looking on this page for the drivers. You may need to select a different OS depending on which you are trying to put on.

Let us know if that helped you.

I used a different disc of windows 7 and
Computer works like a champ :D
There is specific configuration set in bios, or an update that i need to know before i start Installing drivers and etc ?

Glad it's working for you.
You are probably good to go as far as that is concerned.
The steps I sent above are only needed sometimes for uninitialized hard drives, fresh from the factory, or really wiped by the previous owner. Usually the windows setup tool can take care of everything, but sometimes it seems to miss it and you have to manually initialize the thing.
You can also do the same thing by hooking it up to another computer as a secondary drive and going into the disk management console and creating a partition.
I figured since it was already installed in the laptop that this would be easier :p
Good luck with your new drive!
