Windows 7: Custom Re- Install From Safe Mode- "Please wait"

Doing re-install from Windows 7 home premium. Left the room, came back and it was stuck on " please wait" for 5-7 minutes. Then it went to screen that asks for username and password? I figure it is asking fort normal log in info but it won't accept it obviously as I have not set accounts up yet?

What username and password is it asking for and why is the "please wait" there for almost 10 minutes? I even tried powering down twice and re-powering up to see if that would help, but No. I am not even sure the install is complete. I took the disc out when I powered down and rebooted in safe mode Soni could maybe try the disc/install again, but it goes through the same thing and gets stuck on "please wait" for 10 min and then goes to the username and password screen?




Thanks for your help

It sounds like it bypassed the main account setup. You might just want to try re-installing Windows again.

Yep that is what I thought, but I can't get to a "desktop" so I can re insert disc. Regardless if I boot in safe mode or start windows normally , it goes through the same " please wait" BS and up pops the login screen again? Not sure how to reinstall again. Also, every boot wether it is safe or normal is on the big safe mode font ???

Do you still have the install disc for Windows?

The big font would be that it didn't install the video driver right.

Yes I have disc.

Put the disc in the drive and boot from the disc.

It's sitting at the username password screen now but when I pop in disc at this point, it doesn't do anything. Tried popping in right when I powered up but just spins for a minute and does nothing while the screen goes into "please wait" mode

Stupid question. When power is not on, I can't access DVD tray?
