So i've been running the original win 7 beta since release without issue, only of course now that beta release is deactivating so im trying to upgrade to 7100. Only issue is when I start setup I get an error that says something along the lines of "Windows cannot find a space for temporary file, please clear at least 800mb from your boot disk". This despite there being about 400gb free on my main disk, and at least 100gb free on the others. Halp.

Hey so this thread is 240 pages long. Is there anywhere on microsofts website to download a version of Windows 7 Home Premium N? My dvd got trashed in a house move and I don't want to download some shady warezed all in one nonsense which is all I seem to be able to find on torrent sites.

Does anyone happen to have a link to a spiffy official full Windows 7 ISO download from Microsoft? Searching the torrent sites only brings up cracked versions and to gently caress with that. I've tried downloading a few times from various sites and always get a "This is not a valid iso" when attempting to burn a boot USB key.

Basically the issue I am having right now is that Windows refuses to reinstall, I have the drivers for my SATA controller on the USB pen drive with the installer and when I tell Windows where they are it finds them, looks for a bit then says nothing found. This despite the system actually being able to see all my drives (When I hit browse to find the drivers I can see all my hard drives listed). Its basically this issue here : http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/14831-63-windows-driver-install and I had tried every suggestion from every website I can find to no avail. Windows installed FINE the first time I installed all this hardware, I have no idea what could be causing this besides a hosed up download. Any ideas would be welcome.

I don't know if you're having the problem I had, but I found out Windows 7's installer cannot see USB 3.0 controllers (not really a surprise, but the failure state makes no sense until you realize it). Before you ask, it doesn't matter if the stick itself is USB 1.1; it's a problem on the controller end.

Find a USB 2.0 port and plug the install stick into that, then try again.

This was the issue, thanks a million.
