Can't install Windows 7 or Vista on Pavilion dv6700
My problem is I can't get Windows up and running on a Pavilion dv6700. I've tried using HP system recovery disks for Vista and encounter error 0x400 100 130000 1002 right after HP recovery tries to format the hard drive. I tried using a brand new hard drive and receive the same results. I tried deleting partitions and formatting both hard drives before recovery with same results. Then I tried installing a clean copy of Windows 7 which gets me further than HP recovery, but Windows 7 installation never completes....just sits at the screen that says finalizing installation. I even left it on overnight with same results. I also tried elimating the DVD player as the culprint; created a bootable flash drive and tried to install Windows 7. Same results; freezes finalizing installation.
Thoughts?? Thanks in advance.

Try taking out one of the sticks of RAM, and trying again. Then if you get the same error, then swap the sticks and run from the other one.
I would also try and reset the BIOS to default settings.

assuming the HDD, ram and CPU are good, I would start removing any/all extraneous hardware that you can. Either pull the cards or disable the hardware in the bios. And see if the install completes then.
In bios change hard drive mode to ide and then try install.
Or
integrate raid drivers while installing windows 7 .

This laptop had a virus and was taken to Geek Squad by the owner. Geek Squad had it for a couple weeks and could not get the OS back up and running. So it was given to me.
I did not run memtest86, but did run a memory test through bios. No errors. I also tried removing RAM and tried installing with each stick separately during installation of Windows with same results I posted in my question. I can try running full memtest86 later today

There are no external peripherals connected to laptop. Funny thing is I entered BIOS and it is very limited on what I can manage. Typically BIOS I deal with have many different features, but this one (PhoenixBios v. F.58) only allows me to disable Processor C4 state, Button Sound and bootable drives; floppy, NIC and USB

The internal memory test does nothing. Run memtest86+ to get reliable results.
Also reset the CMOS (usually disconnect power and battery, then press the power button for at least 10 seconds, or if you can get to the CMOS battery remove that and wait some minutes until you reconnect it, Laptop battery and power).

I don't think you need to add RAID or SATA drivers, you wouldn't have gotten as far as you did without the proper drivers already being included. Apart from that recovery media should always work with the best hardware configuration anyway.
Did you always try installation using recovery media or did you also try a normal installation DVD?
I'd also check for a BIOS upgrade.

If it had a virus run Dban on the Harddrive to make sure it is totally clean and then re-run the windows install

If the install makes it that far then it is most likely not a overheat or memory issue

Funny you should recommend Dban. I tried using Dban but it froze at PCI. I searched for solutions and the resolution was to disable media card reader in BIOS. I have no option to disable media reader in BIOS. I ended up using another utilitiy to wipe hard drive. Also, like I stated, I tried a brand new hard drive with same results.

Appreciate the post. Honestly, I do not feel comforable torching the video card but you might be on to something. There may be an overheating issue or faulty mobo. I just don't have the tools to test the mobo.

I know its a full version but it this a retail disc or oem ...because the drive power state error is caused by incorrect driver.
I think u are using a oem disc...retail windows 7 disc should not give u power state error.

sorry to be a pain but when I go to integrate drivers, no inf files are found. I did extract the AHCI package. The only way I can add integration is by selecting application tab. Will that work?

You need to integrate intel matrix storage driver in XP and then try installing it.
For XP you need nlite software to integrate drivers.

Try it ..surely will work and your windows 7 issue will be be resolved.
