1. it says something about corrupted or missing files......

2. anyone know how to fix this ?

1. Sounds like the disc is faulty or it did not burn properly.
2. Ask your friend for another copy (sorry I meant to say ask M$)

I managed to sort it out i used dvddecrypter to rip the cd to my hard drive and save it as a bootable .iso file and then mounted that in daemon tools and now windows 7 isn't looking too bad i am yet to see if games work but they should anyway

It will expire quite soon if, as is likely, it's the Beta.
The Release Candidate came out yesterday and is available for public download.
It will run for over a year so get that in preference.
