Stuck on "Setup is preparing your computer for first use"
While waiting for the 7 Professional x64 installation to be finished, the screen shows " setup is preparing your computer for first use". The computer keeps reading the DVD drive about more than half hour and does not go to the normal desktop. I started from clean installation.
CD is Windows 7 Professional (x64) from Retail Stores.
Did startup repair about 4 times - says that it could not find a problem
Did few reinstall.
Tried the three bootrec on command prompt - did not fix problem
Tried chkdsk and chkdsk /f - did not fix problem
Tried sfc /scannow - says that cannot be started because of startup repair and needs to be rebooted (tried that, problem still exist)
Any help would be appreciated...
