    Hi all, I recently tried reformatting my g73SW-A1 with the Windows 7 disc. During the install, at the point where I am at "Expanding Files 9%" an error window pop up saying that some files are corrupt, error code : 0x80070017. How can I fix this? This is a fresh new copy of Windows 7 I just burned.

    Its most likely the disc(especially since you just burned it), so try to re-burn a new one and try again. Also could try the disc in another pc if you have one.

    I havent ran into any problem reformatting and I've reformatted at least 5 times since I've had it :p.

    Not only a bad burn, but could also be a bad image that you are using. Might wanna try it in a virtual machine if you can or have the time, though it could be easier to try another image of an usb stick.

    Ah, yes, good to point out as well myx. I've come to love usb installs, faster and quiet.

    I tried burning another disc, as well as using a bootable usb with the same error. I tried it on a different computer and it worked fine. What could be the problem?

    That is weird that it's still doing it, but works on another pc. When googling i came across this, which is pretty much what you've done.

    When you created the usb install did you load the ISO thru Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool?

    Could be that your DVD drive / Hard drive is pooched (misreading/writing, etc).

    This is really weird..I used the exact same CD that didnt work the first time, but this time I tried installing 32bit and it worked. After that I tried installing 64bit and it worked as well. I really didn't know what went wrong, but now it works. Thanks for the tips guys, I really appreciate it.

    P.S. : Does anyone know where I can find the G73SW Driver Disc ISO? I know there is a G73JH/JW but not a SW iso file on here
