Issue finalizing Win 7 Installation
Ok heres my situation. I have a e9120 HP Pavillion elite or rather its my dads. I wanted to upgrade to win 7 from vista and decided to do a clean install. I pop in the cd and delete all the partitions and then create a new one and select it as the installation source. It goes through the whole loading files and installing then it says set up needs to reboot to continue installation. It restarts and loads some files, then i see the windows logo, after that the screen turns black. I can see the mouse curser and move it but it stays at that black screen. Note this isnt the curser at post. I have done the installation 3 times and the same result it stays at that black screen. This is odd considering its never happened to me and I have done a lot of installations. Tried to get an answer at the hp site but so far nothing came here seeing as las ttime I posted here I got great help on my build that was having issues. I hope someone can help me. One more thing i did run the win set up and selected repair and it ran a test it detected nothing wrong and said boot succesful and no errors detected to fix. I am able to see the Windows will now guide you through first start up, but only if i run the pc in safe mode though it makes me restart seeing how it wont complete or it doesnt allow it to run in safe mode.
