Hi Paul,
just a couple of questions, why did you initially re-install? Also does the install keep sticking on the services start up screen? If it's only frozen the once then you might be ok and I'd just reboot. Lastly could you post your lappies specs please.

Re: Please help
We initially reinstalled the operating system because my niece, the owner of the laptop, accidentally deleted her entire hard drive.
It's been frozen on the "Setup is starting services" screen for the past 6 hours. I rebooted and it froze in the same spot.
Thank you,
Paul

Re: Please help
Use your installation disc and find Command Prompt. Then run these commands:
Diskpart
List disk
Select disk n (where n is the number that was given for the disk where you want to install)
Clean
Create partition primary
Active
Exit
Note: This will clean the whole disk and allocate one partition into which you can install. Since your niece deleted everything, I assume there is nothing to be saved. But if you need to save anything, post back.
