I've had a look through the archives but not found my prob.

I'm doing a clean install on a 160 GB Maxtor drive with Vista Home Premium with SP 1. All was going well when I started at about
0915 B S Time and it passed through all the stages until the end of 'Installing updates' was ticked. Then it stopped and here I am at 1515 BST and the computer is frozen on 'Completing installation'.

Dead as the Norwegian blue parrot! I had visitors for lunch but was itching to get to the PC and see if it had progressed. NO LUCK.

What to do now? Fast rescue needed.

I'd walk away and let it be... may take a while.

Sometimes a re-boot will help things along but I wait a few hours first.

Yeah give it plenty of time, then if you have to reset it, it will go back into setup again and most likely complete.
