USB 2.0 Controller Hangs Win7 Install/Boot
OK, I had the issue that several people have had with windows hanging at the "Starting Windows" Screen. I discovered that disabling the USB 2.0 Controller in BIOS allowed me to finish the install, and boot into windows normally. I re-enabled the controller and booting into windows hangs at the same place as before...turning it back off fixed it again.
My problem is that my only disk drive is a USB external drive, and I will probably be doing some file transfers using USB...I need the speed. Installing windows took a LONG time at USB 1.1.
Flashing to new BIOS and running windows update will be tried today to see if that will solve the issue but I wanted to post to see if anyone had some ideas that I hadn't thought of.
System Info:
Win7 x86 Pro from MSDN, burned with USB/DVD tool provided by Microsoft
Pegatron IPX7A-ION Motherboard
Intel Atom 330
1x2GB SODIMM RAM
USB External DVD-ROM/CD-RW Slot Load Drive
7" Lilliput Touch Screen (VGA)
Note: I had XP running great before installing Windows 7
Thanks in advance!
