Hi
I am just installing Windows seven and have been sitting waiting for something to happen for the past hour and a half, and the line telling you how much progress you have made has not moved on bit. jc

if you are doing an upgrade instead of clean install it can take a while.
some people report 6-8 hours for the upgrade to complete. "Jonathan Crawford" wrote in message ...

Hope you are not trying to upgrade Windows XP to Windows 7 by using the Windows 7 install disk. Since you posted to a Windows XP newsgroup and as you describing your issue it sure sounds like that. You CANNOT upgrade an existing Windows XP install with a Windows 7 disk. It must be a clean reformat and by that I mean that you have to get rid of your XP on your computer completely on your hard drive must be clean before you can install Windows 7 -- Peter Please Reply to Newsgroup for the benefit of others Requests for assistance by email can not and will not be acknowledged.

Not necessarily. If the OP is using a Retail version of Windows 7 and trying to Upgrade XP by putting in the Win 7 Retail install CD then it would do exactly as the OP posted. We have tried this when we worked the Beta -- Peter Please Reply to Newsgroup for the benefit of others Requests for assistance by email can not and will not be acknowledged.
