Hi,
I am trying to install Windows 7 RTM from MSDN subscription on my new PC, it is
Intel Q6600
2 GB RAM
200 GB SATA HD (2x100GB partitions)
Windows XP has been running like a champ on the partition 0 for a long time, but when I try and install Windows 7 on patrition 1 (dualboot from same HD), I have the following problems
1. Long delay until the first installation screen where you select language (2-3 min)
2. Long delay at "SETUP ...." screen (2-4 mins)
3. Then finally it will start the install, copy files, expand them, install them, install updates, and reboot, BUT rebooting just ends up booting off the DVD again. Its almost like it doesnt see an OS on the system and ask "Press any key to boot from DVD..". If I take the DVD out, it says missing BOOT files..etc...
I can use Gparted to set the XP partition as the boot partition again and I can get back into XP.
Any help is greatly appreciated..
Thankyou!
