a recent driver or update may be preventing windows from starting

I've got this same problem trying to install Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. I have installed this same OS on several other machines with success. This one keeps hanging even after disconnecting all other peripherals. The mobo is a Asus A8R32-MVP Deluxe with a an AMD 4800+ processor and 2 GB RAM.

ok guys ive booted into safe mode/boot there are 2 unknowen devices and no drivers for my Mass Storage Controller any ive run hardware trubleshooter and this is the only errors it finds thx flibble

Welcome to the forums krroller
Where does it hang? Can you start it in safe mode and see what is the last driver it loads?
I had a problem where it always stopped right after disk.sys. It turned out to be the processor (AMD4200+), which for some reason Win7x64 won't work with. I ended up having to replace the CPU.
Maybe your problem is different and you can get help here.

i had the same issue untill i removed my two backup drives and it installed fine after this now on reconnecting the hdds it hans at boot screen if you have additional hdds try disconecting them it seems to be the IDE/ata drive thats causing my issue

I have decided to build a new machine (new Cooler Master ATCS 840 case, Intel X58 mobo, I7processor, 6GB Corsair memory, etc) rather than continue with my old AMD X2 4800+ based system. Therefore I am no longer following up on trying to get this work.

I had no peripherals except for the sata hard disk I was installing to and USB stick I was installing from. I could boot from safe mode and it would go all the way through in these modes, but the install could not complete from safe mode. I have installed Win 7 64 bit on no less than 6 other machines of varying configurations and have not seen this issue elsewhere.

i still need help pleaseeee

Have you gotten a driver for your mass storage device yet? Is that a simple HD or a raid?
