[QUOTE="droflex, post: 955982, member: 133682"] This is not inherently a problem with trying to install windows 7 on a mac. It is a Windows 7 problem. The reason I bought my mac about a month ago is because of the installation "freeze" on my full-fledged PC machine. I spent a week on a Windows 7 forum trying to get some answers before throwing in the towel. There are many, many people having installation problems with Windows 7. Even when doing a clean (custom) install. From what I can figure, the video card and/or bios might be the culprit but by that time I had a splitting headache trying to mess with it anymore. I originally tried the download version and eventually the store-bought "boxed" copy but same thing everytime...It hung at completing installation. Microsoft was kind enough to give me refunds on the purchases and I credit them for that...It was not a hassle except for sending the "boxed" copy to them and waiting for the refund. I just run XP under bootcamp now and it works just fine for the occasional use I have for it. Did anyone notice there is a Windows 7 advertisement at the top of the Main Forum page sometimes?
