Stuck on expanding windows files 0% PLEASE HELP
Ok, I am not a computer whiz but I had a corrupted hard drive in my laptop.
So, I purchased a new one and installed it into my laptop.
I got one that is 640 GB, I know there is plenty of room for the Windows 7 OS
This is the list of what happens:
I turn the computer on with the 64-bit disc already inserted and it says windows is loading files,
Then the setup language preferences screen pops up, I enter the US settings & click Next,
Then click the Install now button.
Once the Setup is Starting... screen opens it takes forever.
Finally gets to Accept Liscense terms, click on next,
Click Custom (Advanced)
Where do you want to install Windows? pops up with 2 partitions
Disk 0 Partition 1: System Reserved
Disk 0 Partition 2
chose my partition, formatted it, clicked next
Went to the installing Windows screen
Completed the Copying Windows files
And is now just sitting there saying Expanding Windows Files (0%)...
It has been sitting like this for about 30 minutes
I did do a complete wipe of the hard drive before I started.
I don't know what is going on.
So if anyone has any advice for me. PLEASE HELP!!!
It will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
