I have this weird problem that whenever I try to install win7 after all the installation processes when it comes to starting up the system for the first time there is this black screen with floating windows logo and 'starting windows' or smth similar ( i don't know exactly cause i have it in my motherlanguage) and it stops like this, i can wait 5 min, 10 min half an hour and it wont change. i found info on some other forum that it may be fault of hdd so i sent my notebook to the service, they gave me the new hdd but the goddamn 'starting windows' wont go away so now im really pissed. my notebook config: c2d p8600 @2,4ghz 4gb ram ati hd4670. if u need any additional info please let me know hope u'll find the solution.

You say it's a new installation? Was it a clean install or an upgrade?

So you've installed the 32-bit version, with the memory constriction?
As long as it works, you shouldn't really miss the extra gig of RAM as it's still used for overhead functions.
