Installation loops (EMS enabled)
Hi guys. I have a terrible problem and I desperately hope someone could help me fix it.
So, I'm trying to reinstall win 7 on a Samsung laptop. I have an original ISO that I burned with the native Windows Disc Image Burner. Then when I booted from it the only option I got was "Windows Setup (EMS enabled)". This looked strange, I've reinstalled win 7 many times and never seen such a thing, as far as I recall.
Yet since there was no alternative I hit enter and proceeded. It started loading files, ask about region and lang, choose a partition, then copying, expanding files etc. - all looked normal. Until the first restart (of course I didn't touch any key). After which it's stuck at the 'Install now' screen:
I waited for a while and since it didn't move anywhere I hit enter, repeated the process (reformatting the sys partion of this old drive once again) only to be looped to this exactly same point!!
Help!
