Vista Installation Problems

KevinKevin · 05-28-2008, 11:25 AM

I'm trying to install Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit on my computer down-stairs. It starts to install but when it installs Expanding Files it stays at 0% and after around 10-15 minutes it says it's been cancelled.

Also what's an OPK and do I really need it?

this happened to me once, but the second time i tried to install it stood 0% for 5-6 minutes, then started
check the disk for scratches and dust
if it doesn't work, you should contact microsoft

It's ok guys. 2nd time I tried to install it, it installed with-in 10-15 minutes. I'm surprised how FAST it went! And vista isn't slow. Very fast for me.
