Win10 installation erro & win7 disc boot error.
Hello. Im trying to install an OS on an old machine to use as a HTPC or sorts.
Motherboard: Asus Sabertooth 990fx r2.0.
CPU: Phenom II 1100T 6core.
GPU: generic radeon 2gb card.
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 16gb (4x4gb) 1333.
PSU: Cooler Master 500w (non-modular).
HDD: Maxtor DiamondMax 21 3.5" 7200 80gb.
The PC posts and I have been trying to install Windows 7 on it as i have only a genuine win7 home 64x dvd and key. which i was going to upgrade to Win10.
Unfortunately the pc does not boot from the dvd on either a USB DVD-ROM or SATA DVD-ROM. I burnt a USB Drive pen (16gb) and booted from that. windows 10 installation boots up but after roughly 5 minutes i get a 'data missing' error and the installation cancels.
Any ideas would be welcome.
---------- I dont think Windows Version number is needed on this. sorry if it is.
