Can you tell us a bit more about the Windows 7 disc you're using? Is it retail or OEM? Commercial or burnt from ISO? Which edition? Joined Dec 3, Messages 1 Reaction score 0 Points 1. I am also having this problem. I've got a Win7 professional 32 bit iso downloaded through my school and the installation is successful up to "completing install" then it restarts once fine and then on a second restart it freezes. I'm trying to install on a new i7 with snow leopard Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

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.
IDK maybe the hard drive is going kaput? Joined May 7, Messages 0. I have had the same issue it seemed like it was hung but after leaving it alone I left for several hours it was finished when I got back. I read of others in the past taking a long time to finish.

If you have more than one HDDs in your computer, unplug the other one you don't want to install Windows on. Yeah it just restarted after the completing installation part.
All is good I guess. It's weird because a fresh install of Windows 7 has never took me over about an hour. This one maybe over 2 hours. Just seemed odd to me. SirYandi New Member.

Fix: Windows 7 install hangs at "completing installation" I am aware that this Thread is rather old but I still want to make a reply as it came up right at the top my google search for "install windows freezes on completing installation".

In reply to jps's post on January 5, Western Digital has a utility that has an option to wipe the first and last xxx sectors, which in effect resets the drive to a fresh "out of the box" unformatted state. You need to specify the model to get the correct version for your drive.
If you can connect the drive to another PC and use the Diag. Never be afraid to ask.
