I am trying to install windows 7 (32 or 64 bit) and get the same problem ? -

quot;Windows could not prepare the computer to boot into the next phase of installation. To install Windows, restart the installation.quot; what can I do? I have already upgraded the BIOS and moved to default in BIOS setting. I am using an AMD 64 3000+ with 512M ram. succesfully installed Windows XP, ubuntu 8.04 and Vista.

the minimum specs recommend 1GB of ram, and also i don t think your system can handle 64 bit especially with only 512mb of ram it might be the installer is quitting since you don t have the minimum specs

The minimum system requirement says, 1GB ram and 16GB Hard disk space. Did you meet these requirements?

you need * 1 GHz 32-bit or 64-bit processor * 1 GB of system memory * 16 GB of available disk space * Support for DirectX 9 graphics with 128 MB memory (to enable the Aero theme) * DVD-R/W Drive * Internet access (to download the Beta and get updates) And yes, like anything tech-related, these specs could change.
