Hello all. I am trying to install windows 7 via USB and I am having a very hard time. It will go through the first several steps and then tell me it needs to restart. After restarting I have seen several different behaviors.
Sometimes it attempts to continue and just freezes on the " completing Installation" step. The screen is frozen and the mouse pointer is stuck in the top left corner. Other times it tells me there was an error, restart the pc and restart installation. Most recently I have been getting a solid black or light blue screen immediately after seeing the windows logo and the "updating registry" message.
I read some posts here and discovered that the light blue screen doesn't happen if I unplug the mouse and keyboard dongle after I start the installation. It was also suggested that I remove everything besides VGA which I have done. I am still getting a mix of the other 3 errors. If it matters the SSD is plugged into the first Sata port on the mobo, labelled Sata1.
I have attempted the install using 2 different copies of windows 7, downloaded from digital river and burned using 2 different programs. They both get the same errors.
Here is the hardware:
Asus M4a88t-m le
Kingston 240gb SSD
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
