Guest Thomi Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 I started yesterday to do a clean install and with help from Ken and Gordon obtained detailed instructions of the process. I manage to get into the installation as far as Windows "installing Devices" and it stops at about 65%. I've done this twice and waited an hour although the screen has indicted "Setup will complete in approximantly:33 minutes" and stayed there for some 40 minutes . Am I just being impatient and shoud wait even longer. or should I remove some of the hardware like the graphics card and install it later after the Windows installation is complete? Thanks Iain T
