New Hard Drive -- Windows 7 Installation Hangs
Hello everyone,
Just bought a new hard drive due to my old one was failing. This is the same exact hard drive I had.
Whenever I try installing windows 7, it "completes", then the screen blinks skips, and skips the "Create a user account" and just hangs at "Completing Installation".
I thought I would give it a try and disable my gfx driver just to see if that would work.
Having a hard time deciphering what the problem could be.
Just looking for any possible solutions I could try.
Pretty much a stock Dell xps 8100 with a radeon 6970 I added onto it last year. The hard drive failure occured out of no where.
Appreciate it and thank you in advance.
I ran several diagnostic tests with no errors found.
