rc installation

About this tag
The tag 'rc installation' covers issues encountered when installing the Windows 7 Release Candidate (RC). Common problems include installation freezes at the 'loading files' screen, failures after wiping the hard drive, and hangs at the 'starting Windows' splash screen. Users also report difficulties with network hardware, such as Broadcom NICs not detecting cables, and domain joining errors with Windows NT4 domains. Authentication problems when connecting to Windows 2000 shares are another recurring theme. These threads focus on troubleshooting the RC installation process and resolving post-installation network and driver issues specific to the Windows 7 RC build.
