Can't install Win 7

Recommended Posts

Can't install Win 7 on fresh install.

Gets to "License Terms" and mouse and keyboard stop working.

Yes, I have been all over Google and can't find something I can wrap my head around.

Using old spare Vista box now, but it is extremely slow and keeps locking up.  (Don't care about that one)

I believe it's a USB driver problem, from what I have read, if anybody has those files.  Apparently I have to add them to the install disk.

AMD FX8370 Black

ASUS M5A99X EVO R2.0  (I know, it's ancient)

EVGA NVIDIA GEFORCE GT 740 1GB GDDR5 (If that matters) 

SAMSUNG 850 PRO SSD

All new

Started out with no video.  Switched back to my old ATI Sapphire Radeon HD5670 1GB DDR3.  Now at least I have video.

Trying to install Windows 7 SP1 (repeatedly).  Gets to "License Terms" and mouse and keyboard stop working.

Does anybody have anything a little easier (Senile) that actually works?

Many thanks CP

I've used Rufus in the past to make a Windows Bootable USB - I hope this helps :)

https://rufus.akeo.ie

Set Rufus with the settings below: (see screenshot below)

  • [Under Device, select the USB flash drive you want to format and use.
  • Under Format Options, check Create a bootable disk using, click/tap on the browse icon to navigate to and select your 64-bit Windows 7 ISO file.
  • Under Partition scheme and target system type, select MBR partition scheme for BIOS or UEFI computers.
  • Under File system, select NTFS.
  • Under Cluster size, select the (Default) (ex: 16 kilobytes or 4096 bytes) it has listed.
  • Under Format Options, check Quick format.
  • Under Format Options, check Create extended label and icon files.
  • Under New volume label, you can enter any name you like for the USB flash drive, or leave the default name.

It may be a hardware problem

try connecting a wired mouse and keyboard to the USB port at the back of PC (due to lack of SP2, Win7 has no USB3 drivers so use a USB2 port for flash install and make sure USB3 controller is disabled in BIOS setup)

If it is still not working, you could try connecting the 
Wired mouse and keyboard to PS2 port (if  PS2 port are available)

You can use just the Wired Keyboard if your Tech Savey :)

You can also try the Keyboard (Wired) and the Mouse Wireless

Windows 7 isn't Happy with wireless until it's fully loaded and Drivers

With Windows 7 I always use Wired until all Drivers are installed (And Updates)

ive noticed 99% of the time when there is an error during installation, its due to a botched design of the OS or someone tried to modify the OS using nLite or alternative and didn't quite know what they were doing.. only 1% actually being hardware related.. :sun:
