Hello,
I'm running a fairly new system on an:
AMD Dual Core 4400
4 gb DDR2
IDE 7200 RPM HD 80gb
8600 GTS
I'm doing a clean install off of the Windows 7 Home Premium DVD that I received via an online retailer. The first computer I upgraded prior to this installed Windows 7 in no time flat. The install I'm doing now is much, much, much slower. Whenever the clean install has reached the expanding windows files part of the installation the install slows down to about a snails pace or roughly 1% of the install passes about every 30 minutes. I've read in other places to disable any floppy features in the bios and have done that. I've also tried removing 2 GB of ram to see if that helped. So far nothing has made a difference. Any recommendations for improving the install time on this machine would be appreciated as I'm looking at a fairly lengthy install at this rate.
Also - I have already formatted and created a new partition in the process. This version of Windows is the 64 bit upgrade disc.
Thanks!
Goldy
