Can't install Windows 7 ROG Rampage 2013 E3 64bits

[kryptonfly]

Hello, I'm a new user of tweakscene about few minutes ago...I have a Maximus II Formula, I tried to install Windows 7 ROG Rampage 2013 E3 64bits but I failed :( I don't understand, I tried many times, for every first restart during the installation, the screen remains with the logo windows "Starting windows"...When I boot in safe mode, I see the loading stops at the line : windows/system32/driver/disk.sys...It's weird...
However, when I install it with VMware, it works ! So it's not a wrong ISO...it doesn't work with Virtualbox by the way...Does anyone can help me ? Thanks for everything in advance

Since you're not a Donor and you don't have a Donor access which is required to download official ROG Rampage, you possibly downloaded a modified version of it and quite often or almost always re-modified OS's is not working at all.

Make sure of that ROG Rampage what you downloaded earlier has the same SHA-1 and MD5 values than official ROG Rampage has.

Official values:

MD5: 4b5799ee6431910342ba8a252cb66d4b
SHA-1: d64dbc65e99696146526c3f34bc1cce76879f0b3

Thank you TheAslan for your answer, I checked the ISO, these are what I have :

MD5: 42ECE9F85FE9948D6B5BD7CB7D7F4931
SHA-1: D0E7B9A6F510B1E0C5D463CB375B2DA6A2F7FC70

I notice that's not the same values I'm going to be a Donor straight away and test again...I'll post here again for any ways, good or bad...Thank you for your help

How much time I need to wait to have the Donation Status as active ? I sent a don, I just have the confirmation email from Paypal...

You need to wait Neuropass for that. He will be here later today.

It should be automatically active once the donation goes through... What browser did you use? were you redirected to the forum homepage after the donation? did you get any message?

As far as ROG goes, where did you find the version you have now? was that on a torrent or a forum? How are you installing ROG. Please describe step by step!

Thanks!

Hello, at that time I used "SRWare Iron" I was hurry, I sent the don from my Windows 7 SUPREME...then I went back automatically to Tweakscene showing a message, kind of "congratulation to be a donator..." I don't remember well...I don't have message, just the confirmation from Paypal.

I found my version here : http://www.fikrishare.com/2013/06/windows-7-rog-rampage-e3-sp-1-x64-full.html Downloaded via Putlocker.
I burn the ISO on a DVD with "WIndows Disc Image Burner" provided by Windows 8 Pro Media Center x64 with an original license, my default OS. I restart my PC and boot from the DVD...starting on the FIRST restart (after when it reached 100% + updates still in the installation, you see ?), I see the logo with "Starting Windows" and nothing else, it's blocked. Normally, right after this, I should see "Setup..." and go back to the installation finishing it...Actually it's the first time I get this inconvenience...Moreover, I sent a don but I'm still not an active donor
Keep in mind : I live in France, I paid with Paypal....thank you for your support

If you have a usb stick available, then extract downloaded .ISO and copy/paste all the contents from the .ISO to your usb stick.

Then go to your BIOS and change the boot order, disable all the other items except the drive where you're installing your OS, like this:

1. Partition where you are installing ROG Rampage.
2. Windows 8

Then restart your computer, and stop the booting by pressing Esc button, select your usb stick and click Enter button, then select your language and stuff, then select Repair your computer, there appears a progress bar, then click Next, and then select CMD and type these commands:

diskpart
list disk
select partition 0 (If 0 is the partition where you want to install Rog Rampage)
clean
create partition primary align=1024 (align=1024 only if you have a SSD disk)
format fs=ntfs quick
active
exit

Then close CMD window, and go back to Rog Rampage installation, your drive is formatted already, then try to install Rog Rampage.

Hello, finally it works great ! Actually it was my version, not original...Neuropass helped me to access to the donators forum...I downloaded from FTP servers "ROG-RAMPAGEx64E3rev1+Games.iso" I'm currently testing it ! I notice there's Internet Explorer 8, Windows Media Center doesn't have the good path...And the boot screen failed to install...What's the difference between "+game" version and normal version ? Thanks.

After your desktop appears for the first time notification should appear lower right hand corner saying "Do not touch to your computer", maybe you did something what messed up rest of the installation, try to format your drive and install Rog Rampage again, but now when your desktop appears for the first time Do not touch to your computer.

It should work correctly.

I'm not sure what this + Games means, Neuropass knows what it means I think.
