Bootcamp Hangs on Completing Installation!!

Hello,


I am trying to install Windows 7 on my MacBook Pro. I have downloaded the Windows support software to another CD and I have been trying to install the Windows 7. It partitions it fine and then it goes into the setup of Windows 7. It gets a check on every thing up to "Installing Updates" After that it reboots and starts the "Completing installation" The three dots will continue to go for a little bit but then after about 4 minutes it just freezes up. Nothing works. The mouse won't work and I can't click any buttons. So I have to hold down the power button. I have done this maybe 5 times. I have looked things up online about freezing and I try their suggestions but none work! I have been trying all day to get it to work but it won't. It is very weird! I try to run it in Safe Mode but it says that I can't do that and it makes me reboot it again in Windows. I am running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4; 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo; 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3; Mid 2010 model. I have enough memory to partition and enough left on Mac. Please help!

I have the same problem. I try install windows for a 5 time from a different disc. But installation is hangs on Completing Instalation. I slove this problem. :


- After first hangs on , i'm load to mac os and format disck with windows from disc utility to FAT 32.

- Then load from CD with Windows and launch installation agan.

- After first reboot - load to MAC OS, edject CD and reboot to continion installation Windows.


AND its WORKS!


Maybe problem only in CD-ROM and after first reboot just only edject a CD, and it dont need a re-format disc


I am running Mac OS X Lion 10.8.2; 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo; 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 and 1TB HD; Mid 2010 model.
