I just got a new hp laptop and the first thing I usually do it wipe the hard drive and do a fresh install of Windows to as not to have all the crap that come loaded on new computers. But whenever I try to install Windows 7 64 bit it get an error about missing or corrupt files during the install always at about 29% with error code 0x80070570. I have installed Windows 7 32 bit with no problem and have installed Vista 64 bit with no problem and am now trying to do an upgrade from within Vista. I'm not sure if it has worked or not and won't know until tonight when I get home from work and school.
What I have tried is this. Windows 7 64 bit downloaded from digital river on both DVD and USB and neither worked. I also used a Windows 7 64bit RTM on DVD and USB that I still had but it also did not work with the same error. Windows 7 32bit did install with no problems and Windows Vista 64bit installed. I have also tried different combinations of RAM in different slots and have had no success.
I'm not sure if the RAM is bad but I'll be getting 2x4gb DDR3 sticks soon to test that but I'm thinking it has to be something with Win 7 x64 since 3 other versions installed. I'm really hoping to avoid having to buy the restore disks from HP as well.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
