Win 7 Pro - Clean Install 3 times in 2 days ! .. Advent 5712 Laptop
Hi all, had to post as this is driving me nuts...
Advent 5712 Laptop Specifications: .. Had to clean install Win 7 Pro 3 times in 2 day's.
Processor: Intel
Processor Type: Celeron Dual Core Processor T1600
Processor Speed: 1.66 GHz, 533 MHz, 512 KB cache
Operating System: Vista.... Now clean win 7 pro
Memory: 2 GB RAM
Hard Drive: 500 GB
Software is all legit, at first the install went as per norm, then later that day the system just slowed down to a crawl. 30-45 min to boot up, stuck on welcome with win logo..
and the same to close down... 45 mins.
used slim drivers to update all device drivers.. slow, slow... did memm test 86, hdd health ect... all good
it had vista pre-install which i removed completely-formatted-clean install
it's stuck now on 'expandinding windows'.. for 20 mins (0%) !
i build-fix desktops-laptops... OS installs ect.. this 1 one is making me grin
expanding has just kicked in (1%)..
Boot from disc-format-install-update-driver update...
any pointers would be great.. poss deleteing pre-installed vista maybe a culprit ? protected bios-cant install xp without slipstream disc-tried to but hard to find right sata drivers so re-install Win 7 Pro.. Thank 's
