Windows 7 Installation Guide / Tutorial - PART 2 ( Installation)

We discussed the initial steps of Windows 7 installation in the first part of this tutorial. In this session the instillation proceeds though the series of screen shots which involves a reboot. No user interaction is required for this Part.


























​

The PART 3 of installation shows the basic setup like entering the Serial Key, setting up the computer name and user account, Timezone selection etc.

Hi, thanks for the great post!

For some reason, my installation never gets to the "Windows is preparing for first use". Instead, the screen becomes black with a blue windows themed line at the top. I can't see my mouse unless it's rolled over that line. I have a suspicion that what I am seeing is the very bottom of the entire user setup screen. Do you know if this is a graphics card problem or a problem with the burned disk?

Thanks! Any help is appreciated!
 
which build version did you actually try ? it might be a graphics driver bug. if the setup completes successfully, I guess there's nothing much to worry.
 
I used the 7000 build downloaded from microsoft. Is there anyway for me to check if the setup was finished correctly? I can tell that my newly partitioned drive has used up around 9gig of space.

I heard that nvidia released drivers for win7. How can I install them if I can't even login win7?
 
hmmm ..... can you log into Safe Mode in Windows 7 ? Also at what speed did you burn the iso copy of Windows 7 ? Burn it at 4x or lower speed.
 
I tried mounting the iso with Virtual Clone Drive and I got the same result. So I'm pretty sure that its not the iso that was corrupted. If I try safe mode, it doesn't work either, it freezes up.
