Solve : The file is possibly currupted error on formatting computer.?

Answer»

I am formatting my desktop with windows7. After complete installation and after reboot it is saying that "File is possibly corrupted. The file header checksum does not match the computed checksum."
I tried installation from multiple windows 7 dvds but getting same error.

HDD is connected with PARALLEL ATA PORT (PATA).
DVD drive is connected with Serial ATA port (SATA).
I have 2 RAM sticks (1GB,2GB) and tried using combination and singles of each one but getting the same issue.
Please help me regarding this.

 Please remove your e-mail address.

This  is not a new PC, -Right?
Getting file CORRUPTION error after a clean install is very unusual.
You will need to run the full install again.
If it fails again, you  may have bad hardware or maybe a bad Windows 7 install DVD media. Where did you get the Windows 7 DVD?

Do you have   computer ?  Does it read the DVD well?

How many Windows 7 DVDs do you have? Where from? If they are not GENUINE Microsoft legal product or if scratched ETC they may be corrupted.
Thanx all for the rply.

Problem resolved. It was due to the HDD. The IDE cable of HDD was having problem. I have changed the cable and its working fine.Stupid to use your  email address for your forum name. Stand by for spam!
