Re: Can't recover from Dell CD

STOP 7E without further explanation as to the module of the failure seems to be
Microsoft's garbage can for anything that its programmers are incapable of
explaining. Which is a lot.

I have a Dell with a STOP 7E, and the hard drive has zero defects according to
two differenr disk diagnostics, so something else is hosed... Ben Myers

Hi!

I don't know where else to go with this. I'd
sure appreciate any suggestions someone might
have.

How about this? If there is truly nothing on the hard disk worth
saving, and the stuff that isn't wanted is all that's left, try
running a tool like DBAN and using it to wipe the internal hard drive.

Another poster pointed out that the STOP error you saw pertains to the
disk subsystem. I haven't researched it, but it's not too much of a
stretch to think that some garbageware or virus might have trashed the
contents of the disk enough to make Windows setup really unhappy.
