Hey so I recently installed Windows 7 on a family members computer and it is taking a long time to boot into windows. Its hanging on part where its got the animated windows logo for like 10+ minutes. I did notice that after installing the OS it flashed a error about SAM and I'm thinking i may have to do a repair install from the disk but that is going to be fun as well as i have tried many ways to make the computer boot into the disk but had to load the previous OS (XP) and start the install from there. I have tried using a Bootable USB drive as well and it didn't work either. It only seems to be windows 7 disks that it doesn't like to load in that manner, i can load Ubunto from disk as well as memtest.
Before i installed the OS i made sure the system could handle 7 as i ran the windows 7 upgrade advisor on it and the only area that it failed at the time of the test was free space on the partition but uninstalled a few programs and fixed that issue.
Installed 7 on the computer because the family member was wanting to play a game that required DX10 and XP only supports up to DX9
computer specs are as follows:
Gigabyte G31m-es2l
Intel Celeron E3300 dual core @ 2.5 GHz
3GB DDR2 ram
running Win 7 Ultimate
EVGA NVidia GT 620
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
