I have the same problem. Ive been trying to install Win 7 since the early beta days but every time its the same problem, when it needs to reboot for the second time it just hangs at the windows logo. My computer is a bamboo (no brand) Its a intel dual core 2.66 with a ati x1600 card and 2 gb ram. i have tried clean installs and upgrades with the same result. hope any one can help us

have you run the upgrade advisor to make sure your computer has the minimum requirements?
99% of the time failed installs result from a badly burned ISO. where did you download the win 7 image from and how did you burn it? what app did you use to burn it? and did you burn the ISO file or drag and drop the folders?

Yes i did and it was all ok. i have tried 3 or 4 different releases and burned the dvd a lot of times i use imgburn i normally burn at 2,4 speed but have also done it with higher speeds same problem.

I only install with one harddisk connected. and no dont have any raid my motherbord is a Asrock 775XFire-eSATA2.

I ran the Windows 7 tool and it said it would work on my laptop. I have used the same copy of Windows 7 RC I got from Microsoft and burned the iso using Nero to install on another laptop and was successful on it.

It looks like I have solved my problem. I disconnected the Ethernet connection. I went into the Bios and set it to default, saved it and started the install process. During the install process I told it I did not want it to check for updates during the install. It completed the install then. After booting up and getting connected to the Internet it is now downloading updates.

I did some more experimenting and it seems that unplugging the Ethernet connection is the key.

Ok i will try that to and get back to you, im not sure if it was pluged in but will give it a try
