I can't seem to be able to complete the installation of windows. I inserted the system recovery Windows 7 home premium DVD and followed all prompts. It formatted the drive and did a partition and installed both DVDs on the hard drive and then started installing the software after the 2nd DVD ejected it said that it would complete the installation and that the computer would restart several times during the process. It worked fine until it got to the point where I got a window named "Windows Setup". It had the message " Windows is now setting up the following items.
*Preparing driver installation
*Installing Drivers
*Preparing software installation
*Customizing software
*Checking AC power
*Verifying installation
The first item "Preparing driver installation: was check marked. When it got to Installing Drivers (It seemed to get stuck at this point) I let the machine continue to see if it eventually completed this section and it seemed to do nothing, but eventually I got a windows that gave me the option to "restart". I did not have a mouse function and I tried hitting "enter" but nothing worked so I hit "Ctrl , Alt and Delete and restarted it this way. When it restarted I eventually got the following message "Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows, restart the installation. I did try the reinstallation a 2nd time and got the same results.
I tested the hard drive and it passed all tests. I used the seatools for DOS to test it.
Any help on how to resolve this is appreciated. Thanks.
