Runiteshark Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 I formmated a partition to NTFS in the vista install, and now it currently says Windows is installing... And so on. Yet it just sits there.. Is this how long its supposed to take, or is it moving so slow it dosen't seem to move? Edit: Oh man, I see it. That is wicked slow.

Runiteshark Posted August 7, 2005 Author Share Posted August 7, 2005 (edited) About 10 minutes or so? Its not even 1/3rd of the way across.. Feh. I threw in a 25GB hdd that I found lying on the ground, because I didn't want to wipe the OS that used to be on that rig.... See, I was afraid of this. Windows XP is 500mb or so on disk, but after you install it, its like 1.4GB or more.. This is 2.5GB on the other hand, so I shudder to think how bit it will be. Edit: Oh crap, I just realized I double topic'd... Yeah, sorry about that. Edited August 7, 2005 by Runiteshark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Runiteshark Posted August 7, 2005 Author Share Posted August 7, 2005 Another problem is, is when it goes to the Completing installiation It gets an error, restarts, and does the same thing over again. Already tried to do a fresh install again, and it fails. Do I need to do the upgrade path? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
