Following this tutorial Clean Install with a Upgrade Windows 7 Version i installed it went through all the other things like setting the right resolution and completing installation but after that it restarts and then just hangs on a black screen if i push ctrl+alt+del the computer reboots, i formatted the partitions in ubuntu so it didnt make the 100mb system reserve partition, i cant think anymore what to do help will be appreciated
Use Windows to format the Hard Drive.
1) Boot DVD.
2) Press Shift+F10 (for command prompt)
Type in command line
DISKPART
LIST DISK
SELECT DISK 0 (win 7 HD)
CLEAN ALL
CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
SELECT PARTITION 1
ACTIVE
FORMAT=NTFS
ASSIGN
EXIT
EXIT
How long does the CLEAN ALL take ive let it run for about 10 minutes already the activity light is on, not frozen but shows activity
Erik,
How long clean all takes depends upon the size of the disk, the speed of your system,etc.
Clean All is writing zeroes to each and every byte on your hard disk.
For a 1.5 or was it 2.0 Terabyte disk, this took 5 hours and 15 minutes.
Normally, you'll finish up in about 30 minutes.
Lean back in your favorite chair with a cup of coffee and the newspaper.
Smell the coffee, enjoy life.
