Hello, i am having trouble installing windows 7. The disk works properly until it gets to expanding windows, then it gets stuck on 0% then says “There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive H:.” I need help fixing this, there are no tutorials on google.

A few questions:
– Why Windows 7?
– Some details of the PC, please.
– How do you start the install?
– Install on a physical or virtual hard disk?
– If physical, what’s on it ?
– What goes well before it starts expanding?
– What is “expanding” ?
– What is drive H: ?

Plenty of tutorials on Google BUT

But few may solve your issue.

For example Windows 7’s built in drivers don’t support NVMe or a lot of what PCs come with today.

The lack of PC details means no one can possibly point you in the right direction.

I can’t figure out why anyone would want to install such an old version of MS Windows in this day and age. Modern software/hardware is likely incompatible with that version of MS Windows. I can only guess that the OP is trying to keep an older PC running legacy programs. We can only speculate until the OP clarifies this.
