Win 7 stuck on completing install
Hey guys, since my school let us download any version of Windows 7 for free I thought I would try and install Windows 7 RC Ultimate (x64) onto my desktop. The problem is that when it goes to completing install it stops and wont progress. At first I thought it was just taking a long time but I let it run over night (6+hours) and still no luck.
What do I do  I dont want to go back to my vista install | My System Specs |

What do I do I dont want to go back to my vista install Welcome to SevenForums,
I see by your specs you have 4gb ram. This has been a minor problem on some new installs of Windows 7  Try it with 2gb for install, then you can put the other 2gb back in later. What speed did you burn the .iso ? 4x seems to work the best !  " Doc " | | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop
