I'm trying to install W7 on my gf's brother's laptop, an old gateway thing. It get's to about 7% of expanding windows files, and gives me a BSOD with KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR.

The laptop doesn't boot up into the currently-installed OS.

I'm leaning towards the "it's fucked" camp and looking at just buying a new HDD.

Thoughts chaps?

for a fatty you're a serious intellectual lightweight.

I thought as much.

I googled it, and from what I can gather, the current os kernel needs to write stuff to memory for the new os, which it can't do, which leads me to believe that's it's pretty much new HDD time.

Well, I find that the first result on Google is quite descriptive. Your hard drive is broken. Run a scandisk from the recovery console and try again.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

wow... another dismissive, condescending post from freezer...

the laptop doesn't start. Read OP and then comment.

I was a bit quick on the "Submit" button. Run a chkdsk /F from the recovery console. A Windows XP CD works fine for that.
