I've downloaded the ISO again, with the same results.


I've the same issue: Cannot boot from CD - Code 5. When you start the install from within an operating system, the DVD driver is available there, and is loaded into memory to be available when it reboots, which is a warm boot. If this Win7 installer were on a CD, you could cold boot it, but it's too large for a CD, hence the DVD. (You should have a hard drive or partition ready, formatted NTFS, to install Win7 on before beginning the install.)Īs I previously posted, you cannot cold boot your DVD because your DVD drive doesn't have the necessary driver available in a cold boot to read a DVD, but rather only a CD. You'll be up and running in a few minutes. Select the one you want and specify clean install, and you're off to the races. It will then show the drives/partitions available on your machine and ask which one you want to install on. You simply need to have an operating system running (either XP or Vista), pop your DVD into the drive, and when it loads, click on install.

The DVD drive is connected at the primary IDE Channel as Master AND my WinXP Pro CD can boot WITHOUT a problem on my Test PC! Then I thought it could be the DVD drive and so I took the working DVD drive and connected it to my Test PC, but the problem was the same, it cannot boot from the DVD. Then I tried the DVD on my gaming machine to secure that the DVD is ok and and there was no problem, I could boot from DVD and the install programm started. When I tried to boot from the DVD I got this message "Cannot boot from CD/DVD Code: 5".Īfter that, I tried another DVD drive, the same problem. I tried to install Windows 7 on my Test-PC (MSI K8T Neo with Via K8T800 Chipset and socket 754). I have got the following problem with the installation process:
