Weird problem: I can start the install fine, let it run to expand files et
al, and then it needs to reboot. Thats where the problem starts. My comp
reboots all ok until I get the message "Press a key to boot from CD/DVD or
something similar, and then it hangs. Forever!
Anyone please got any ideas - it's driving me nuts!
Thanks in advance
Click to expand...


well do you press a key ? Because if you do DONT



you could try on reboot going straight into the bios first and remove the
CD/DVD as the first boot device

Sorry, shouldn't be sarcastic. No of course I don't press a key, and I've
already tried changing the boot swquence.
Thanks
 
Try removing the disk before it reboots and you could try F8 to see if safe
mode will run
 
Make sure you have an Active Primary partition on the drive. You can run
diskpart from the command prompt on the install DVD. Use a space /? for a
list of commands
 
Thanks for your help one and all. I'll find out later today if your advice
works for me.
