Hello , I have recently done a custom pc and I have been tryingsince yesterday to install it ... I have spend aproximately 10 hours trying to install it .... 

 

To be honest I think my CD or USB has a problem simply because I am not able to install it ....

 

So I go to cmd I do all the commands I copy it to the USB , I select the USB Drive and the after choosing language and where to install windows , My computer can't accept my usb simply because the usb doesnt have the file to start downloading...

Can't you try installing it from the DVD? 

Since you have an optical driver, it shouldn't be much of a problem to install it into your new computer.

 

I can't tell you how to crack Windows, since it would be against the Coc.

I think you should use a program like 'Wintoflash' to put the files on your USB drive so your new pc will accept it.

How are you getting the files from a disk then?

 

To be honest I think my CD or USB has a problem simply because I am not able to install it .... I trying pirating it but even soo I wasn't able too...simply because I don't usually do it

If the optical drive is in laptop, it's of course harder to disconnect, but it's not impossible.

If you think that the Windows DVD is at fault, then download the .ISO from microsoft. http://www.techverse.net/download-windows-7-iso-x86-x64-microsofts-official-servers/

Just make sure that the version you download corrospond with your licens key.

No need to feel sorry, I just want to have everything in the clear.

I would suggest downloading an .ISO, since that would eliminate the disk as the culprit.

You can then use one of the programs (Rufus or WinToFlash) to create the bootable USB.

Also, in the BIOS of your new computer, try setting the USB mode to ´Legacy´ sometimes that can solve the problem of unbootable disks.

You don't necessarily need to put your USB controller in legacy mode. You need to do it, if there is a problem with findning the USB boot device.

You don't put Rufus on you USB driver. You use it to burn the Windows 7 .iso unto a USB driver, and it makes the USb bootable at the same time.

OK; It has been some time since I have used Rufus, so I don't know what files it put on you USB.

But you need to format the USB drive, and then use Rufus to burn the downloaded .ISO to the USB drive.  

Since you were worried about the state of the DVD, then I thought it was an idea to circumvent the DVD entirely.

You aren't bothering me at all. 

Does the SSD have something already installed in it. If yes, then you should format it before installing Windows on it.

If no, then you need to format it. If I remember correctly you need to click ´New´ when the SSD is selected.

If you can boot from the USB, and chose language and accept the ToS, then the USB drive should be working. 

Could you maybe take a picture of the screen you are stuck on? it has been a while since I did a Windows install, so that would help a lot.

Hmm, are you running a RAID setup?

I don't speak a word of Portuguese, so it is a bit hard to tell what is on the screen (I don't know why I didn't think of that), but I look like you are loading a RAID driver, rather than installing Windows.

If you are running a a RAID setup on the onboard controller, you need to install a driver for the onboard SATA controller for it to work probably. But if you aren't running RAID, just discard what I said.

Could you tell me what the ticked off box in the back of this picture says.

Untick that box. You aren't trying to install a controller.

It want a driver, but as mentioned, if you aren't running RAID, you don't need to install that yet.
