Hi guys, i have some problems with my laptop... I'm writing this from my brother's computer. 2-3 weeks ago i had to format C:\ drive just because a worm was taking over my computer (got it from a pirated Gta San Andreas copy). I reinstalled using a Windows 7 Home Editon copy,again a pirated one. I got a hal.dll missing file error. Then I decided to downgrade to Windows Xp. And... The setup almost finished until: I clicked Ok, then my computer restarted.It showed the Windows Xp loading screen.It showed "Setup is gonna be restarted" or something. And Surprise! The same error. I pressed "X" and i got a infinite loop. I also tried pressed F12 and Esc, it shows a black screen and beeped... When i posted some time ago I was using my phone. Any help ?

Congrats on your first most detailed post! I can respect that... And I am going to help as much as I can...
First, in situations like this one, a windows image can definetly save you a lot of pain when getting a problem like this one... A good program for backup images is Acronis TrueImage... You can consider backing up your C:\ next time...
Next, a certain error can happen during the installation process... Did you try to reinstall Win7 again? And are you sure that you completely wiped all the C:\ data (Full format - slow)?
Downgrading to WinXP may not be a good idea at all... I know that you're using Unity now... Well, that's not going to work on XP... Also, a lot of other programs are getting incompatible with XP, which makes your life only harder...
I can't understand anything from this screenshot, but the only thing I can recommend is to reinstall Win7 again... And again if necessary... If it doesn't work, then try downloading another copy of windows 7...
Tried to be as helpful as I could, but that's all I can do for now...

I know that some programs are incompatible, BTW I'm trying to make a bootable USB.
Also i can't acess my files, i can't enter Safe Mode with Command Prompt.So i can't open any files.
So yeah, im stuck in that error.
I read from somewhere else that editing txtsetup.sif, but just i said above, no acess to files -_- .
I hope that the bootable Usb will save my PC...

I never tried to use a bootable USB... I always use CD, because that's the easiest for me... Did you try installing with a CD?

If you tried a lot to install it, try downloading another copy of Win7...

Some updates : The both copies of Windows were fake, they were modified. I also managed to acess the BIOS by pressing f3, now I gotta find other copy. Locked.
