My problem with the G53jw. Similar to yours?

I just received my G53jw I order from Amazon a few days ago. It was all nice and good but I want to dual boot Win 7 and Linux on it. My old Dell laptop used to run dual boot Win XP and Linux Mint and it worked well until the monitor burned out...

So here's my problem: I download and burned a copy of the Win 7 Home Premium from this link. It burned fine and all OS seem to be able to read the DVD with no prob. I tried booting from the DVD and it got to the installation screen. It starting installing and the DVD drive just stop spinning and give out some kinda screaming noise. After a while it gave an error that said the file can't be loaded. I tried restarting the computer a few times and it finally finished installing on the 5th tried. This is where the problem begins...

When i did the earlier install, I installed it on the factory C: and left the recovery partition and data partition untouch. I now want to remove everything and create my own partition. So I did and now the DVD won't even boot at all. And the Express Gate Cloud utility is also gone.

Anybody have the similar problem? My laptop is the G53jx-xa1 from amazon with 6 gb or ram and 500gb harddrive. Thanks in advance.

 

I kinda solved the problem myself. I ended up having to retry running the installation DVD a few times before the drive can finished the installation. Still not sure what happened but I suspect it was a bad DVD.

I burn another DVD at home and it seem to boot up fine.

 

My guess would be poor quality DVD-Rs.
