In need of computer savy people

I'm reinstalling Windows 7 on a computer(Desktop) that originally came with it. Once I made it to the installation process, it went through "Copying files" in a snap. Then, it went to expanding files and that's when the error popped up.

"Windows cannot install required files. Make sure all files required for installation are available and restart in the installation."
I know for a fact it isn't the disk, because I just freshly installed Windows 7 with the same disk on used my Laptop, which might I add is being used to type this very thread.
I've already tested the rams without one another and that's not the problem.
I've reburned the iso on the disk; as well as redownloaded the iso itself.

Any ideas on how to fix this? eMachine EL 1850-42w (Computer/model)

[quote=Nehalem]Sounds like a hard drive issue. Have you tried running some tests on it? I'm assuming you reformatted it, correct?[/quote]

Yes, yes I did -- What kind of tests?
