    I have been trying to do a clean install for my refurbed P-7811FX and have been having problems with it. I've been trying to reload the OS but every time I try, it gives me error 0X8007000D saying that windows cannot open the required file E:\Sources\Install.wim. I actually had the same problem when I had the refurbed P-6860FX and Gateway shipped me different discs to try and fix the problem, however I returned the 6860 in exchange for the 7811. Now I seem to get the same problem while I'm trying to do a clean install following orev's guide for clean install on NBR. I'm thinking that I may just be getting faulty discs from Gateway so if anyone knows where I could download the OS myself without being charged so I can do this clean install, it'd help alot because this is getting annoying that it's the second time I've had the same error, with a different model though.
