I have the same problem with both 32 and 64 bit.
It freezes on \"Completing Installation .\" (notice the 1 dot instead of 3) after the first reboot.
I cannot use my mouse or keyboard. Nothing moves.
I tried to remove all USBs, and ethernet/wireless adapters.
Tried running setup in Safe Mode
My specs:
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E7500 @ 2.93GHz (2 CPUs), ~2.9GHz - Processor
4094 MB - RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GS - Video Card
NVIDIA nForce 630i -Motherboard
Any suggestions on how to fix this? Seems like a problem with a lot of people.
It is an issue with the SATA drivers for installation. You may have to download a driver for your SATA adapter for your motherboard and install that at the beginning of the Windows 7 install. Please go to the following link to download the drivers for your hardware: NVIDIA DRIVERS 15.49 WHQL
Also, should you still encounter issues, Microsoft does have an official Windows 7 Support Forum located here Windows 7 Category. It is supported by product specialists as well as engineers and support teams. You are welcome to also check the threads available there for additional assistance and feedback.

Thank you for your reply, Jessica. I have downloaded the same drivers but for 64 bit. I will try this as soon as possible, and will post results here.
EDIT:
Oh my god! Thank you Jessica! It really worked. Now I have Windows 7 64 bit on my PC! woohoo!!
