Ok so i made the ISO out of the student up grade im tryin to do a clean install. from xp 32 bit to 7 32bit

It gets to the point where it says "Starting Windows" For a while then it goes to an image with a back ground and a curser but nothing else.. did i do something wrong?

I did this already, it boots fine, just after teh boot and the load it stays at this nice windows 7 back ground screen with a little bird and some lights.. and a curser?

 

[cooldeadsex]

i think i found the solution going to see if it works.. had to do with ram

nope still stuck on the splash screen

Try removing not necessary peripherals, like extra usb harddrive and second monitor and try installing again.

k how bout a second internal drive?

 

[cooldeadsex]

how long does it usally take for the splash screen to load? should i just wait a while?

 

[cooldeadsex]

lol im the type of person to lose sleep over this so if anyone can help with any more info it would be great!

tryin a different dvd drive today the last one i had was running at like 1x might have been the problem

fixed and fixed new drive and removal of ram did the trick
