[QUOTE="Benito, post: 627226, member: 20510"] Thanks for your help with this one mrplow - I really appreciate it. Okay so I get to the screen where you choose the partition and I see this: "238473 MB Disk 0 at Id1 on bus 0 on atapi [MR] E: Partition1 [unknown] 200mb (200mb free) F: Partition2 [unknown] 205696mb (202696mb free) Unpartitioned space 128mb C: Partition3 (BOOTCAMP) [FAT32] 32451mb (32434 free0 305243mb Disk on disk [MBR] Unpartitioned Space 305243mb" So I highlight C: and press enter... Then it says "please wait while setup examines your disks" Then "Please wait while setup copies files to the Windows instillation folder" When it finishes copying files it tries to restart into GUI installation with no success. Two things to note: I don't get the option to reformat the windows partition prior to the files being copied. That E: partition is weird, I don't know why that's there, and that's the one that btdicky is talking about in his reply. Where should I try from here? [/QUOTE]
