Windows 7 installation hanging..
at completion reboot stage.
I successfully set up a dual boot XP Pro / Windows 7 RC 7100 on my new PC.. (Gigabyte P45-UD3R, E6750, 4GB RAM) only after updating the BIOS.. but I wanted to re-install so I formatted both the C: (XP) and D: (W7) using Acronis Disk Director, re-installed XP with no problems, but when I try and install W7, either from DVD or USB flash it gets to the last reboot whilst completing insatallation then hangs at 'Verifying DMI Data'.
I tried again, re-installing XP and then deleting and re-creating an unformatted partition (D) for W7, but exactly the same thing happens.
I've removed either the DVD or USB flash drive on first re-boot and changed the BIOS boot sequence to HDD first , but still no luck.
Help please!! I'm going bald
