Cant install windows 7? i put the cd in and go to auto boot but it gives me a code 5 error.

screen on what? Why can't people put enough info to answer a question? Are you talking about Windows, and the Windows "boot manager"?

here are some fixes to try:
(located here: https://neosmart.net/wiki/bootmgr-is-missing/) I recommend working from bottom up, and trying system restore...unless you have a boot CD/DVD ...in which case try startup repair first.

This repair method works if you have the Windows installation disc.
Here are the steps to fix the BOOTMGR error with an installation CD:

1. Insert your Windows install CD
2. Restart your computer and boot from the CD
3. Press any key when you see the "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD" message
4. Click Repair your computer after selecting your language, time and keyboard method
5. Select the drive of your Windows installation and click Next. The standard drive is usually C:\
6. Select Startup Repair
7. Wait for the process to finish

Fix #3: Use bootrec.exe to rebuild the BCD

bootrec.exe is a tool built in the Windows Recovery Environment (Windows RE) that you can use to troubleshoot and repair the error.
bootrec.exe can repair boot configuration data and master boot records. BCD, which stands for Boot Configuration Data, contains boot configurations options and controls how Windows is started.
Here are the steps for accessing bootrec.exe to rebuild the master boot sector:

1. Insert your Windows 7 or Vista install disc
2. Restart your computer and boot from the CD
3. Press any key at the "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD" message
4. Choose Repair your computer after you select the language, time and keyboard method
5. Select your Windows installation drive (usually C:\)
6. Click Next
7. Select Command Prompt in the System Recovery Options box
8. Write the following command and press Enter:bootrec /rebuildbcd

Fix #4: Run System Restore

The next solution will work only if you have System Restore enabled on your Windows.
Here are the steps for restoring your PC with System Restore:

1. Insert the Windows 7 or Vista install disc
2. Restart your computer and boot from the install disc
3. Press a key when "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD" message appears on your screen
4. Click on Repair your computer after selecting a language, time and keyboard method
5. Select the drive where you installed Windows (usually C:\)
6. Click Next
7. Select System Restore from the System Recovery Options box
8. Follow the System Restore wizard instructions to select a restore point
9. Restore your PC by clicking Finish

Fix #5: Use bootrec.exe to fix the boot

The partition boot sector is stored on the hard disk drive and contains the necessary code to start the Windows boot process. If this partition is corrupt or not properly configured during a Windows install it would lead to "BOOTMGR is missing or corrupt" errors at startup.
This method needs a copy of your original Windows installation disc.
Here are the steps to fix this error using the bootrec.exe tool, the same tool used in Fix #4 above:

1. Insert the Windows 7 or Vista install disc
2. Restart your computer and boot from the disc
3. Press any key at the "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD" message
4. Choose Repair your computer after you select the language, time and keyboard method
5. Select your Windows installation drive (usually C:\)
6. Click Next
7. Select Command Prompt from the System Recovery Options box
8. Write the following command and hit Enter: bootrec /fixboot
9. Wait for this message to appear: The operation completed successfully.
10. Restart your computer

You can't install it over 7. But, can install it to an other partition, and can select the O/S, when boot up.

If you want to know what this is the error code is related to

Click start control panel administrative tools computer management then select event viewer this may vary depending on what operating system you have

extend the events there you will see errors in red you will no what exactly what the error was and at what time it occured

or click start type in event viewer press ENTER

you might be able work your way through the problem

Hope it helps.

First you will need the Window 7 operating system cd.
place the cd in the cd room and let the auto run take place. this is not a quick process
it will take several minutes. If the operating system is not loading you may have a different problem

be sure if you computer and the installer is the same as 32 or 64 bit.. check your computer and your installer.... be sure you have updated version of your motherboard..

Code 5 error = Your pc is too old and the 7 install disk doesn't have even a basic driver for it.  Simply put your system isn't supported, 7 will not install easily , and if you manage to install it  it will run miserably slow.
