Hello, i had successfully installed windows 7 on my laptop without any problems with the 32bit version 7127.
I have come to install it on my computer bui i cant. I have windows vista 64bit install on the main hard drive, which is partitioned by 100 gigs for windows 7.
The problem is when i put the disk in and boot from windows 7, it just hangs on starting windows. The little windows icon stops moving after about 5 mins and its froze.
Ive tried safe mode, but it freezes on please wait after loading the last driver.
SO, i tried downloading the 64bit version of windows 7, think that it could be because my current vista version is 64bit.
But i still have the same problem.
Ive tried switching hard drives to a clean one with nothing on it, but it stays on the starting windows screen, the only difference is that the windows icon in the center doesnt lock up.
Ive tried running the disk with no hard drives attached and windows 7 loads up to the point where it can find no drivers and asks you to select them.
Ive trie3d installing it directly onto the partition inside vista, but then on the restart, it again locks up.
The fact that ive disconnected my main hard drive and it still doesnt work, is very strange. This means there is no primary operating system for any driver conflicts to occur on. Its basically like having a brand new system.
any ideas?
