Q: Windows 7 installation freezes at "Completing installation"
Hi.
I removed my Windows partition on my macbook pro 2010, and decided to do the installation all over again.
I use the bootcamp assistant and make a new Windows partition, then I insert my Windows 7cd (for mac) and the installation Begins.
It then continues the installation and restarts the computer twice, until it reaches the the last step of the installaton "Completing installation". Here it continues for about 2 minutes before it freezes completely.
The only thing to do then, is to turn off my macbook, start up in I OS, and start all over again
I really hope someone is able to help me with this issue.
Macbook pro 13'', Windows 7

Yes, you will need the 'Grey' disks. Please back up OSX to TM (or any other tool of your choice).
Downgrade to SL and update it all the way to the last release of SL (10.6.8) and then try BCA that came from the SL version. Note the version of BCA you get from the original restore and the version you get from SL-10.6.8.
If you have applied any recent EFI updates, you may not be able to downgrade to SL, but you can try Mountain Lion or Mavericks.
