    During Installation of windows 7 professional from HP supplied DVDs on a Crucial MX200 500GB SSD on my HP dv4-2167sb notebook PC. I keep getting a message after installation freezes at 24%. That reads Reducer(header). From E:\PRELOAD\BASE21.WIM. To C:\RM\Image\BASE21.WIM. Press Ok to retry. All Diagnostic Testing Passed. Any ideas

    DVDs were sent to me by hp. The original drive was 320GB. I replaced the 320GB HDD with a 500GB HDD. Now I want to replace the 500GB HDD with a SSD that is also 500GB.

    Installation completed. I guess the third time was the charm. I'll start a new thread in windows 7 forum for an update error message.
