Help with install!
Hey guys,
I'm hoping you can help me out. I'm trying to install Windows 7 on an Hp desktop that previously had Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit on it.
After backing everything up, I followed all the instructions.. deleting the recovery partition, formatting the target drive, making sure only one HD is connected... and went with a clean install.
The install finished all the way into actually logging into Windows 7 before logging out and shutting down. On the reboot, it goes passed the Boot screen and hangs up with a black screen and a blinking cursor in the top left hand corner.
I tried to repair with the win 7 cd, and it detects it as installed with no disc errors or memory errors.
Any ideas?
