Trouble, W7 install stopping
Hello! I've run into a problem when trying to install W7 RC build 7100 x64 on my computer.
I use one hard drive at the moment on which I have two partitions:
- One with WinXP Pro SP3 installed
- One that I've made for the purpose of installing W7 on.
I've tried burning the ISO gotten from Microsoft three times to different DVDs (each time downloading the ISO fresh again) and also tried making a bootdisk out of my USB-stick (using the same ISO) and with all of them I've gotten to the same state of the install:
It seems like it's booting correctly from the DVD/install stick and the screen with the progress bar with "windows loading files" fills up correctly and then I get to the splash screen. Then I get the blue background of the windows installer program and the cursor appears and is correctly movable. Then nothing else happens. It just stops there. With the blue background and a cursor.
If it helps, I've also tried starting the install for the x86 version and it stops at the same spot.
I've tried updating the mobo BIOS to latest version, tried looking through the BIOS after some kind of setting that could perhaps set off the problem. The only thing I could think of that could effect it was the SATA AHCI which I've tried to boot the installation with both turned on and off.
I hope that I've made some kind of total newbie mistake that can easily be corrected. I hopefully await any tips or further questions you might have in order to help me solve the problem.
