Win 7 installation woe
System: Gigabyte GA-F2A88X-D3H mobo
Trinity A6-5400K APU
8Gb Ram
250Gb Western Digital Hard drives (spinners)
Win 7 pro 64bit.
Bought a Win 7 installation disc from a well known computer shop on the internet complete with license key. My problem is that on a clean on installation I get 'Loading files' after that nothing, just a blank screen and sits there.
I'm wondering if I have the bios set up wrong, I tried and tried and can't 'seem' to get it any further - I did have Mint set up on it, but since then I formatted it on my XP 32bit build. Do I set the bios for Legacy, Native IDE, SATA or some other mode, the bios is seeing the DVD and the hard drive.
I was told that this is what Win 7 does, it loads files and then I just gotta leave it for about half an hour - seems a bit strange to me so I thought I'd join to try and find out here, thanks.
