771396 2009-05-06 02:33:00 I have downloaded Windows 7 64 bit
I have transferred the ISO to DVD
When I try to install I get the 7 splash screen and then it just stops.

If I go into my files I see I have the full d/l on my dvd.
If I click on EXE It says it is not a 32 bit. I KNOW THAT!

How do i get the ISO to format and install?
Do I have to use the XP disk to format my drive first?
Or how do I get it to run?

PLease tell me before I go properly mad.

771397 2009-05-06 02:39:00 Are just running the setup on your existing copy of Windows or are you booting from the DVD? CYaBro (73)

771400 2009-05-06 03:07:00 JJJJJJ - before you reburn .....
Try booting again, then go make yourself a cup of coffee and wait it out. It happened to me on the beta. Happened on the RC as well. To all intents and purposes it looks like it hangs (guess it is actually chugging through evaluating my system or something) - then all of a sudden the dialogue screen starts and you can continue with the install.

771401 2009-05-06 03:18:00 How long did you wait at the splash screen?
It can take a couple of minutes before it progresses past that, especially on a slower PC. If it is taking too long, then I'd suspect a bad burn (and you may need to burn as disc-at-once rather than track-at-once too).

771402 2009-05-06 03:39:00 Also, when its installing it takes up to 15 minutes before it starts making reasonably progress. Blam (54)
771403 2009-05-06 05:02:00 Thats what I thought the first time I installed Vista too. It thought about it for ages.......... pctek (84)
771404 2009-05-06 05:22:00 Well Brooko gave me the answer. Two cups of coffee and half a pack of cigarettes and it decided to load
Thanks mate,
