I'm having problems installing Windows 7 on my new PC. I just build the computer using these parts... Not sure if that matters, but there it is. I have set up the two 500GB HDDs in a RAID-0 (the install can see the drive, so I do not think that is the problem). I purchased an upgrade version on...

I purchased the Win 7 upgrade (Home Premium). I'm running Vista (64 bit) on my 2 years old HP laptop. I have opted for the custom install to clean up. I've saved all the docs/pics/mp3 etc and I have the programs I need to reinstall. I've uninstalled my anti-virus (AVG) as it seemed reluctant...

I can't get past "Expanding Windows files" at 0%, the installer is also very slow. I get stuck at the wallpaper for around at least 5 minutes, and then I hang on "Starting install" for another 5. I've let it sit for around a half hour, and then it gives me an error saying I don't have all the...

I've heard this is a very common problem, and I do have an Nvidia chipset, but whilst installing Win7, my video will cut out during the "Expanding Files" stage, at 30%. I was part of another Win7 forum, but those people over there couldn't distinguish their ass from a hole in the ground, so I...
