Reinstalling WHS 2011 problem RRS feed

    I had to reinstall my WHS 2011 and when i start the process its fine to copy the installation files to my primary disk, but its gets hung up.  It won't copy the files to my primary disk for some reason [says 0%] but then gets a green checkmark next to the "copying windows files" step.

    then when it goes to "expanding windows files" it stops at 0% and says that "there was a problem during the installation" and has error logs that i don't  understand, or can copy to a usb .

    Help!!!!

    Hi,

    does this happen on the same hardware, on which you had installed WHS before?

    Why did you need to reinstall?

    The description of yours points either to a faulty DVD (causing read error) or to faulty hardware (memory, disk, mainboard ..., causing write errors). If your former issues have been related to an hardware error and you did not swap the broken component, you will unfortunately continue to experience the issue.
