Windows setup claims the installation source is not accessible. How do I fix this?
There could be 3 reasons for this error:
- Partition problem described in KB939727
- Problem with the media or the bad iso/Win 7 installation (burn using another device or using another software; don't use RW media). Use the genuine Windows 7 Ultimate
-
You can try the following:
- Boot into Windows 7 installer DVD
- Select Repair your computer
- Select the Command prompt in the Choose the recovery tool dialog
- Type diskpart
- Press Enter
- Type list disk
- Press Enter
- Identify the number of your target HD
- Type select disk 0 (assuming that your disk is 0)
- Press Enter
- Type clean
- Press Enter
- Type exit
Now your MBR is cleaned up and you should be able to install the Windows 7
