Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows on this computer restart the installation.

This is what happened after I reset my computer. What do I do to fix it? Even if I restart, the same message will appear.

Hello, does the installation process gets interrupted at same spot? I had a computer brought to me before where the installation would stop at 11% all the time. What I ended up doing was using a program to check for bad sectors and repair them. this program work with or without operating system installed. This process takes a long time specially if you have a drive with big storage. What the program does is check for bad sectors, fixes them and goes to next sector. After running the program, I proceeded to install the operating system and installation finished succesfully. It might be worth it for you to give it a try. There are three possibilities for you, two of them are paid and one if free.Free program: HDAT2:http://www.hdat2.com/Paid Options:SPINRITE: http://www.grc.com/sr/spinrite.htmHDD Regenerator: https://store3.esellerate.net/store/checkout/CustomLayout.aspx?l=&ClickID=&s=STR793615240&pc=&page=OnePageMoreInfo.htm
