Unable to reformat pc, error keeps popping up!
 

Hey!!

As the title says, everytime i try to reformat my pc an error message pops up saying that "Windows cannot access the required file D:\Sources\Boot.wim.".

How do i fix this problem?

Thanks in advance!

More system specs please, also at what point in the format does this happen?

Is this a legit ISO of the OS? The disk apparently is missing a file........

^ bingo my thought too. burned disk that messed up

naughty, naughty!

:haha:

Asus Maximus Formula
intel i5 750
Seagate 1TB
4GB ripjaws
XFX 4890
Corsair H50

umm after step 2 or something of the process the message pops up

its a legit windows vista ultimate.

so hard to have info here.. is it an ISO, what version of Ultimate you have , full, upgrade, OEM

any scratches on the disk then?

Ok, so if it's a proper install disk, first try to get your hands on a different install disk (just use your own personal key) and if that doesn't work, it's time to start eliminating hardware that might be faulty, and thus failing once the OS installs the full drivers for it.

Try running a boot memtest cd (obcd is my choice), if that doesn't find any issues then turn off all "extra" hardware in your bios (things like audio / lan / Floppy disk controllers / etc.... ).
