Answer 1

Hi,

sounds like you didn't reformat your drive first then do a clean install again of windows. hope this helps you.

update :-

if you have already reformatted your HD then sorry to say but i think your HD is defective so run Scan-disk and check it out (but Fdisk should already do this for you), sorry i can't help you more.

Answer 2

If your trying to upgrade from home to pro it wont install, because home edition is the same as pro ever since the new service packs came out...what i did i wiped the harddrive with boot and nuke then was able to install pro.
