I started yesterday to do a clean install and with help from Ken and Gordon
obtained detailed instructions of the process.

I manage to get into the installation as far as Windows "installing Devices"
and it stops at about 65%. I've done this twice and waited an hour although
the screen has indicted "Setup will complete in approximantly:33 minutes" and
stayed there for some 40 minutes .

Am I just being impatient and shoud wait even longer. or should I remove
some of the hardware like the graphics card and install it later after the
Windows installation is complete?

Thanks
