Defcon79 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 (edited) When I try to install Vista Ultimate, it hangs in the last stage (Completing Installation..) which never completes.As a test, I got a copy of the Vista Enterprise image we use to deploy at work, which I can't activate anyway without a domain controller. It installs fine.I then tried doing an upgrade from Enterprise->Ultimate and it hangs again in the same place. Ultimate installs fine in a VM so I know its not bad media.My hw config -Q6600 - all default settings, no ocAbit IP35 Pro2GB Crucial memory PC64004x 500GB hdd's in AHCII've run memtest86 for 10hrs successfully. XP also installs ok. I'm at a loss for things to try at this point. Edited December 17, 2007 by Defcon79 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon79 Posted December 19, 2007 Author Share Posted December 19, 2007 No one ?!Another thing I've noticed is that the installer takes a long time to load - when I boot from dvd, after I see the 'windows is loading drivers' screen, I see the screen with the wallpaper for ~5min before the install screen comes up. Is that normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
