Taking too long time to reboot...?

[Pheddy]

I have downloaded the newest RTM 32bit Windoows 7 from Microsoft MSDN and tried to install it on my Celeron 2 Duo 64bit system.. Now when I boot the computer up the Windows logo comes, and then it stays there for 20+ minutes before the system is booted up.. I have tried with other versions of Win7 32bit also, but its the same everytime.. Is this because I absolutly need to install a 64bit version? I remember that I once had 32bit Vista on another 64bit system and that worked fine...

Anyone experienced this before?

try setting your CPU to start up windows with 2 cores

run msconfig

set to 2 in your case

Very nice tool msconfig. Thanks! Anyway it didnt solve my problem, I tried setting everything off when booting up, also did try to enable two processors, still takes about 20 minutes to boot up.. Another think i might think could address this problem is that in Windows it says that only 1.99 GB Ram i usable out of my 4 GB Corsair Twin rams... Anybody?

SOLVED....

Dont know what was pricely wrong, but I reset'd the BIOS and the problem was solved.. Maybe something with Sata.. I have a ASRock motherboard (ASRock > Products > G31M-GS=)

Anyway thanks!
