Windows 7 Install abruptly ends w/o explanation
I am trying to upgrade from Visa SP2 to Windows 7 Ultimate. I have an ISO DVD for it. But when I get just a couple of minutes into the installation, it suddenly ends without explanation or any discernible error messages.
Here is what happens:
- I insert the DVD.
- I click "Install Now"
- I click "get the latest updates"
- The install program gets the latest updates, says that "Installation is restarting", tells me to "Please Wait", and then suddenly just ends. I find myself back at the initial "Install Now" screen.
I have also tried upgrading without getting the latest updates. In that case, it checks for "compatibility problems" for a couple of minutes, and then abruptly ends as before.
I have even tried re-downloading the ISO file and re-burning the DVD, but I get the same results.
Can anyone give me a hint as to what to look for here? Many thanks in advance.
