• Windows 7 Stuck In Completing Installation

Okay so I am running a fresh, clean install (the only 'information' is on the IDE drive, and that's my backup for iTunes and Steam) using the Windows 7 Ultimate DVD.

Fix: Windows 7 install hangs at 'completing installation'I am aware that this Thread is rather old but I still want to make a reply as it came up right at the top my google search for 'install windows freezes on completing installation'.Hi all,Follow each point carefully and hopefully you'll avoid the frustration I went through!

I find singing to myself semi-manically helps during such times.To beginMinimize comp configuration:- Only 1 HDD; simply unplug all HDDs except the one you'll be installing to- Only one chip of RAM (2GB in my case); (primary ram slot is usually closest to the processor)- Only PS2 keyboard; (actually worked for me using USB keyboard)- Should be fine to leave your video card/wireless card inSo, the back of your computer should now only have a power cable, DVI/VGA/HDMI and PS2/USB keyboard plugged in. Also, possibly a USB stick if you're using a USB flash drive to install (guide to creating a bootable Windows install flash drive here: )Step 0, Optimize HDD as recommended at: I found this worked best by using CMD both to 'cleanall' (not just 'clean') and format NTFSStep 1, Ensure BIOS boot order is set to boot from CD/DVD (or USB flash drive). With the Windows 7 DVD (or USB Flash drive) in your DVD drive, press any key when prompted 'Press any key to boot from CD / DVD.' , as soon as the message is gone, quickly press F8 to show the boot options list.

Once restarted, you can reconfigure BIOS to boot from your HDD (if you miss this then you will be you will be prompted to choose the boot device, choose HDD).Step 3, When 7 restarts for the first time, spam F8 and select 'safe mode'. When you boot to SAFE MODE wait for a few minutes at the 'SETUP IS STARTING WINDOWS FOR THE FIRST TIME' screen, then you'll get the popup that states 'WINDOWS CANNOT CONTINUE SETUP IN SAFE MODE, CLICK OK TO RESTART'NOTE: DO NOT restart, AND DO NOT click on the 'X' (close button) in the upper-right of the pop-up.
