About Windows 7 Error Code 5


About the Error
This error primarily occurs when the data is not able to be read by the motherboard while trying to install the operating system. It is difficult to diagnose as well because the disk works on other computers and worked before the installation as well without any read problems.
Troubleshooting
Check the surface of the disk to be certain there are no scratches or smudges impairing the data. If another computer is available, test to see if an alternate DVD drive has the capability to read the disk.
Solution
The error ultimately boils down to the motherboard models of AsRock and MSI not being able to accurately read the boot sector information contained on the DVD used to install Windows 7. The disk needs to be re-burned with an appropriate boot sector at the slowest speed possible to prevent future errors.
