I'm installing Vista for about the fourth time. The other three times, the installation came to a screeching halt. Somthing about prepareing setup for reboot. So it stopped at 27% when it expands the files. So I had a think about it. My hunch is that Norton GoBack, which seems to modify the boot record directly, is the problem. So I uninstalled that (sorry Nortons).
Currently setup is at 58% and copying files to my spare harddrive (I'm not in the mood to re-install everything if an upgrade goes south).
Things look good. Just hope I don't have to Fedex somthing to be thrown at the guy who wrote in installer.
Stay tuned….
Update: I was right. Nortons was the problem. Now. Where do I submit bugs so that someone else not blest with my technical intelect dosen't have to deal with this? 🙂
