    Win 7 reinstall dun gone haywire.

    Ok, so I had been blissfully running Windows 7 64-bit on a normal Seagate 1TB HDD. However, I thought I'd hang with the cool kids and run a RAID 5 across 4 such HDDs while switching my boot drive to a Crucial 128G SSD. Thus, I ran the Windows 7 install disc (I have my own genuine full-version copy), deleted the old installation and installed Win7 on the SSD.

    However, every time I install (I've retried several times now) I keep getting winload.exe corruption errors (error 0xc000000e). I followed the steps at microsoft support using bootrec.exe and while that resolves the winload.exe problem, I just end up getting another system32\(whatever) error.

    I've tried Googling for a solution but the only solutions involve reinstalling Windows, which, as you may have noticed, is exactly what I'm trying to do. I didn't see any other threads on this, but then I fail at search, so it's possible that I missed them.

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    Get a different copy of the install media.

    Might be entirely unrelated, but I found a lot of my install problems to be cleared up by following one of many guides on installing from a thumb drive.

    Bah, I was really hoping that it wasn't my discs. Ok, I guess I'll try tracking down a copy and/or installing it via a flash drive. Thanks for the help.
