What's going wrong before i40 for you?

[Paper Tiger]

Every year, last minute, something always happens... Something always goes wrong...

Well, what is it for you this year?

Problem: Trying to install a fresh copy of Windows 7 on my desktop, which isn't happening... It keeps freezing on the install, at 25-27% every time.

Possible solution: I'm going to try leaving it over night (it's late, so I'm going to bed now...) and see if it still works and finishes the install.

Any other suggestions?


Anyone else have something go wrong with such a short time left 'til the much anticipated i40?

Or is it just me... /sadface

try a new dvd/ formatting your disk

That seems pretty unlucky mate! I'll bring my W7 Pro disk just in case. Leaving it overnight sounds like the best idea, sometimes these things can take a while.

It seems unlikely that a component has failed.

That is unlucky. I'm sure we can sort you out at i40 if you're still having problems.

Omm nom nom, I've not packed anything up yet, I'm just chillin'. I think I'll pack up at lunch..

It's wet.

Can't drive myself down since family car is in the garage so parents need mine, anyone want to pick me up on route? :P

My current sleeping pattern is completely wrong for a lan party.

Did I mention it's wet?

Where do you live again - I know it's near Wantage, but from there, I don't know. I could be able to pick you up, but I won't be able to bring you back, but I suspect Chalex will be able to.

Ah cheers maaatee... I live in Letcombe Regis, postcode is OX12 9LF. Would that be ok if you could pick me up? I'll pay for fuel if you want.

Gary - I'll bring the USB I used to install Win7 from, it could just be a dodgey disk.


Chaz getting a lift kinda borks one of my plans, was going to ask nicely if I could put my PC stuff in their car until check-in . But yeah, anyone got room for me to lock it all in? lol.

Should be fine, assuming I don't get lost. Don't worry about fuel cost. You'll still have to grab a lift back home, although I suspect Chalex won't mind.

Cheers bro, just in case you get lost my mobile is 07946805860, what's your current number?
