    Windows 7 install stuck at "Starting Windows"


    I have a Dell Inspiron 8200, which I've recently installed Windows Vista on no problem. I tried to upgrade to Windows 7, but the setup wouldn't load when I booted from the USB. It was stuck at "Starting Windows". Awhile ago I also tried windows 7 and I booted into windows 7 setup in safe mode and the drivers stopped at "Disk.sys". Please help.

    My computer even passed the Windows 7 Upgrade Adviser, saying I could run Windows 7.
    These are my specs:

    Inspiron 8200
    Windows Vista Home Basic
    Intel Pentium 4 1.20/1.60 Ghz CPU
    1gb of RAM
    64mb video memory
    37gb Hard Drive
