HELP! Installing Windows 7 X64 from Boot
Hi people
Was wondering if anyone could help me with a weird problem I am having with my Windows Installation.
I was originally running Windows XP 32bit. I tried to install Windows 7 32 by booting from the CD but I had a problem where I would get past the Loading Windows Files page then I ended up on a screen which appeared to be a Windows 7 Wallpaper and only my mouse cursor but nothing else would happen.
I was since able to install the 32 bit Windows 7 by loading it up in Windows XP itself and going from there.
However I now need to install the 64 bit version instead. And this cannot be done whilst in the windows environment. It has to be booted from the CD, But once again I am having the same problem. I get to a black screen which says Loading Windows Files with a grey loading bar. Then it goes to a starting windows page, and then finally the blueish coloured wallpaper shows up and my mouse cursor but nothing else happens. I don't have anything to click on............. Anyone have any idea what the problem is?
Regards
