Windows Vista Installation Hangs on "Completing Installation" on Dell Inspiron 1720

I have a Dell Inspiron 1720 that I am working on. The original problem with this computer was that it was accidently shut off during a Windows Update. The computer will only load to a black screen with a white movable cursor.
Unable to resolve that issue, I decided to purchase a replacement hard drive (WD Scorpio Black 320GB -- Model # WD3200KTRTL) and proceed to do a full install of Windows Vista using the Dell Reinstallation Window Vista Home Premium 32BIT disc that came with
the computer.
Towards the very end of the installation, the system hangs on the "Completing Installation" section. I decided to leave the computer turned on over night just in case there were things that were still loading. This was not the case and the next morning I
turned off the computer.
With the new hard drive installed and with Windows Vista installed (minus the "Completing Installation hanging...) I am faced with the same problem as before when I had the existing hard drive installed.
Can anyone help me solve this issue? Ideally, I'd like to use the existing hard drive instead of the new one, simply because there is a lot of data and problems on the other drive.

How could it be that I can't reinstall Vista after replacing the hard drive in my Inspiron 1720 when I have the original DVD from Dell, to be used for just that purpose? Well, the answer was exactly what Jaco suggested. After hours of struggling
with this, and about at the stage where a new computer made more sense that continuing to try to get this 6 year old one running again, changing the AHCI setting allowed the Vista installer to get over it's CRCDISK.SYS hangup. A 30 second fix, but finding
it took hours. Sigh...Thank you for posting this, Jaco.

Windows 7 installation hangs on 'completing installation' in boot camp

hi
i am trying to install windows 7 ultimate 32 bit using boot camp and each time i have tried (except on one occasion) the installation has hanged on the 'completing installation' stage. i initially had this problem, then one time it worked, but then i had to wipe my boot camp partition and start again, and since then no joy in installing windows 7 again.
when the installation hangs it sounds like the install DVD is making a whirring sound as though there is an issue reading the DVD. but i have tried two different windows 7 install DVDs in both drives on my Mac Pro and i keep getting the same problem.
i have tried installing without any peripherals plugged in, including my cinema display, but still no joy, except for that one occasion, when i am not aware of having done anything different.
the boot camp partition is 32GB, and i have the same issue whether starting the installation using the boot camp assistant, or just booting from the Windows DVD and formatting the boot camp partition during the install.
can anyone help me troubleshoot this?
thanks
nick

On a Mac Pro with four hard disks, you would be better off devoting an entire HDD to Windows. You do not even need to start the Boot Camp Assistant application.
However, that does not appear to be the problem. Perhaps the size of your Windows partition is a bit on the smallish side. Why so small? Have you tried a larger partition? Going larger would be a good experiment to help drill down to the installation problem.
Try to eliminate anything under your control that could be part of the problem.
At 32GB that's the borderline between being permitted to use FAT32 formatting and being required to employ NTFS. Presumably, you allowed the installer to use NTFS. In fact I think Win7 requires NTFS. Switch the partition size a little down or a little up to eliminate that as a possible glitch point. Just a thought and probably a stupid one but you never know...
An afterthought: Can you get hold of a FireWire DVD optical drive. Maybe the internal drive is faulty.

Windows 7 install stuck on "completing installation"

Hey guys,
Iv been trying to install Windows 7 on my Macbook Pro 13'' mid summer - 2010 from bootcamp. Im running 10.7.3. Everytime I try to install windows It gets stuck on "Completing installation" Iv left it running for hours (4-5 hours) and nothing is changing. I have an image if it helps..

Oddly enough, I have had windows 7 installed on this Mac before but then I deleted and now I am looking to get it back (I am using the same disc I had used the previous time). Iv looked around for days for any solutions that have been found but nothing has worked so far. If anyone can help me it be great!

My 2006 is also liist on the uncompatible list. So there is an extra step to reburn the DVD.
Round about way of saying you bought System Builder? rather than retail which costs more but has both.
You might also have been better with pre-SP1 if you could find it. That does get mentioned from some users.
For free there are Windows 8 CP edition (and release candidate in June) to try, those you do burn from ISO to DVD. Try that.

I tried downlaoding itunes on my Windows Vista and after it completes, the icon doesn't appear on my desktop. The itunes setup can be found just not the actual program.

I tried downloading itunes on my Windows Vista and after it completes, the icon doesn't appear on my desktop. When I search for the itunes under my programs, this is what shows: iTunes64Setup.

It did prompt me to run it. I apologize. I said save.
This is what happens, I run the iTunes64Setup, it downlods, says it has completed and then I click finish on the iTunes installer. After that, nothing comes up. Usually the program will start after it installs. There isn't an icon on my desktop either. When I go and search for iTunes under programs, only the iTunes64Setup appears. I am also having trouble downloading Adope Photoshop as well.

Xcode Installation Hangs on "Running Installer Scripts"

Hi, I'm trying to install Xcode to take advantage of their gcc and make files. However, no matter what I do, Xcode installation hangs on "Running Installer Scripts". Searching on Google did not give me any help. I can't quit the process either. Here's a screen shot:
http://lh4.ggpht.com/_id4E4GFQud0/SfvsNwDdDaI/AAAAAAAACnI/23tE3vWw3vk/Snapshot%2 02009-05-02%2001-44-41.png
Could you please advice on what can possibly go wrong?
I'm running OS 10.5.6, and installing Xcode directly from the Mac OS X Disc 1 CD. In the CD document, it says Xcode Developer Tools 3.0 for Mac OS 10.5.
Thanks!

Thanks for the details of what you've tried. Every detail you can remember increases the chance that someone can spot the problem.
My read is that you've documented beyond much doubt that a clean install is what you need. Restoring your system was a good try, but I don't think that would change much outside of the /system folder. Even if we think it did, the evidence you provided tells me that some files from the first Xcode installation remain. I would be looking for files created on that date and checking perms in places like the root directory, /tmp, /usr/share/sandbox, etc. I would also advise renaming /Developer as written in the +Book of the Dead+. I didn't invent that instruction; it was distilled from dozens of case histories in this forum.
You might also try one of the 3rd party tools that's out there for cleaning Macs. I've never tried any of them though, so can't make a recommendation.
Oh... erm... You did restart your Mac at some point since the problems started, right?
Re installing only gcc, have you been to the Developer Tools page at the connect.apple.com site? Select Downloads on the home page, and in the next page select Developer Tools from the lower right panel. I found 2 downloads that appear to be full gcc installers: Xcode Legacy Tools and GCC 4.2 Developer Preview 1. The other gcc downloads seem to be updates. I might try gcc 3.1 in the legacy tools. It's probably all you need, and if not you'd be good to go for an update.
Of course, you could always download directly from the gnu site, just you might need to be a rocket scientist to install one of those packages. I'm guessing it would be a learning experience. There's also something to be said for using a 3rd party installer, since it probably wouldn't be affected by whatever is stopping the Apple installer(s).
Sure hope some small part of the above turns out to be useful. But in any case, please let us know how you resolve the problem.

Bootcamp Hangs on Completing Installation!!

Hello,
I am trying to install Windows 7 on my MacBook Pro. I have downloaded the Windows support software to another CD and I have been trying to install the Windows 7. It partitions it fine and then it goes into the setup of Windows 7. It gets a check on every thing up to "Installing Updates" After that it reboots and starts the "Completing installation" The three dots will continue to go for a little bit but then after about 4 minutes it just freezes up. Nothing works. The mouse won't work and I can't click any buttons. So I have to hold down the power button. I have done this maybe 5 times. I have looked things up online about freezing and I try their suggestions but none work! I have been trying all day to get it to work but it won't. It is very weird! I try to run it in Safe Mode but it says that I can't do that and it makes me reboot it again in Windows. I am running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4; 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo; 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3; Mid 2010 model. I have enough memory to partition and enough left on Mac. Please help!

Windows 7 installation freezes at "Completing installation"

Hi!
I'm trying to install Windows 7 on my mid-2010 Macbook Pro 13". I'm running Lion and have installed all avaliable updates.
I've created the partition in BootCamp and the installation starts but when it gets to "completing installation", just after the computer has rebooted the installation freezes and I'm forced to shut down the computer.
This is what I've tried:
* To burn several different Windows 7 iso file on DVD's with different speed (from the disk utilities).
* Remove all USB connections (which is none since I've a wireless mouse)
Then I've no idea what to do more
One thing that could be the reason is that I (before trying to install Windows 7) had to repair my hard drive (which I did from the disk utilities) and I might have done some sort of misstake there...
Please help!

No help needed anymore, finally managed to install it
The solution was (probably) to eject the CD when the computer reboots and then continue the installation as normal.
I'm not 100% sure this was the solution but anyways, now I've Windows installed.

The installation freezes during completing installation part

I tried to install windows 7 and bootcamp. Followed all instructions but the installation enver gets over "Completing Installation" Tried moving mouse and keyboard, no use.

Pl post exact versions of "11g" and "Windows 7" - Home versions are not supported - you will need Professional or higher.
Looks like the "-ignoreSysprereqs" flag was used for the install - is there a reason for this ?

Creative Cloud Installer does not complete installation

Hey Folks,
I've been trying to install Creative Cloud, but the install stops mid way through installing the Adobe Application Manager. The Adobe Application Manager folder appears in the Utilities Folder, but has nothing in it. I then get this message.
I've tried Uninstalling Adobe Creative Cloud, but even the Uninstaller hangs in the end and the window wont disappear.
I've used the AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool and then tried reinstalling after restart.
I've tried installing the stand alone version of the Adobe Application Manager with the same results. i.e. the the installer stops short.
I also tried starting a new admin account on my computer and tried installing CC with the same results.
As per advice from another post I tried changing the Library\Application Support\Adobe\OOBE folder name.
I've also tried an exorcism, pouring boiling water into my lap and waving chicken feet over my computer, but no dice!!!
Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm on Mac 10.8.2.
Cheers,
Dave

Installation hanging at "Preparing Installation"

I am running Windows 98SE and every time I try to intsall the J2K SE my system hangs at the "Preparing Installation" phase of it about half way through. I have tried just about everything. I have disable my antivirus, scanned for virus's, ran the updates, ran a registry mechanic, did a clean disk. I have no idea why it is doing this. Please help.
Thanks in advance.
Keith

Read the Installation Instructions (again, please - all of the document):
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/install-windows.html
and confirm that you are installing EXACTLY per the instructions.
Exactly what are you installing? Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition Version 1.4.2_05?
Has Java been installed on the machine previously? If so, are there any leftover parts? Did a prior install fail or was one aborted? etc.
If you still have a problem, post SPECIFIC information as to what you did, and what resulted. Cut 'n paste here the error messages, commands, etc. Please do not paraphrase or retype them.
Bottom line - there's a problem either with the machine or with what you're doing, because Java can install on 98SE without problems.
