Ok, my laptop hard drive went bad and now i've replaced the drive and trying desperately to install windows 7.  It goes through the entire install process and when it's done and restarts i get the error message "that it can not install on this hardware".  What the heck is the problem.  The entire install seems to go through but the restart/reboot I keep getting this error.  I even went and tried to install Vista which the computer came with and the same issue.  

Does anyone know how to get ANY OS on this thing?  I need to get this laptop working asap and i've wasted so much time on something that should have taken 30 mins install time and prob 5 mins of my actual time.  I've been looking on the net and cant find anything that actually works.  Hopefully someone here has gone through this and has some kind of idea of what to do.  This should be simple and I really frustrated to the max at this point.

Thanks,

Rodney
