Hi everyone,
First off, apologies if this question has been answered many times before. My laptop came with windows 7 32bit installed, but I wanted 64 bit. The official version from microsoft was going to take a week to dl at the rate it was going, so I decided to go with a torrent. Needless to say, it didn't activate and I simply wanted to get a genuine version on my laptop through a clean install. Unfortunately, when attempting to install I got a windows registry error. I tried installing both on the C drive and also on a separate partition to no avail. I'm fairly certain it isn't the disc because I couldn't even reinstall the torrented version, and I burned multiple copies of each to be sure.
Then I decided to try Darik's Boot and Nuke but neither the USB version or the cd/dvd version would work, citing "non fatal error". If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it, I have backed everything up I just want to get a clean windows install.

ok the problem with pirate version of window 7 is that it leads your machine open to hackers or zombie your pc system to attack others.
the main problem you are having is that you have to use a loader for window 7 and bios hack.
which you need to do a separate partition on the drive.
do a full format and try again.
it has to be a clean install
pm me what version your using from torrent sites.
