It was a brand new disk out of the package, no scratches.
Yes, I verified the DVD after burning.
I have not tried with a USB but I will.
How do I check the file for corruption?
I downloaded the Windows 7 Home Premium COEM ISO and burned it to a DVD. I ran it on an HP 2000-329WM and it got bogged down during installation at 1% or so. Finally I got an error message that the files were not complete and could not be installed.
Any idea what happened?
