Ever had that welcoming blue screen with a well hung 'Setup is starting windows' during OS installation? Probably the SATA drive. Motherboard drivers, supplied with specific instructions to install via the f6 option makes no difference? Take heart, my friends, there is a solution. The solution for both is very similar, but on the server I had to connect an IDE drive temporarily.
Once done, all the drivers are installed and the bugs are squished nicely on the HDD platter, use ghost I prefer it to or later to shift your pristine OS to the intended boot drive and then unplug the IDE drive Ghost can see all the drives, earlier versions can still do disk-to-disk ghosting.
I did get a frightening blue screen of death on the server when I first started it with the new setup after ghosting , but it was just the OS refusing to swallow all those changed drives whole. After rebooting, all was forgiven and the computer has been running ever since 18 months , except for a two month break when the motherboard went down in a screaming heap. Hope this little tip is of some use to someone eg me next time I search for a solution to that same old problem Kind Regards, Robert Karl Stonjek Additional Notes: 1 Ghost must be Disc-to-Disc; 2 If the boot drive is smaller than temporary IDE drive, make sure you defrag the IDE drive first, preferably with a defragger that will defrag the space as well as the files eg 'Raxco Perfect Disc V.

The steps I gave you are designed to find out what the problem is, but when there is no reply or interaction with them then I cannot know what the problem is. If the installation is that slow then there may be a problem with your hard drive. There could also be a problem with your media. Did you create it exactly as it says in the steps, using the Media Creation Tool and following the steps in the middle of the download page to create bootable flash media?
How satisfied are you with this reply? Thanks for your feedback, it helps us improve the site. Then the media was not properly booted and therefore it's not even close to a Clean Install which requires booted media and clearing all partitions off the hard drive exactly as I wrote out and in the tutorial steps. The only place where there's a Power Plan is in installed Windows, so it was executing the Command to Windows which was running the installer, meaning it was a Repair Install over itself and not anything like a Clean Install.
