Step 2. Reboot into BIOS. Save settings and reboot, You would reboot into installation. New Toy! UH, sorry, "Patton" moment well, you get the point One machine was a gigabyte mobo with a phenom 6core cpu and the install went off without a hitch and I was up and running in win7 in under 15 mins. The other machine was not so fortunate. Remember, however, same media, same drive. Only a dual core amd cpu, but really, how much CPU do you need during windows install?
After getting impatient, I just ejected the disc tray and pushed it back in and viola, it was un-hung and the process completed. It's the only thing that makes sense since I was using the same DVD drive and same install media.
Latecomer here, but as I found this because I was searching for a solution to this same problem, it still seems relevant. I couldn't get past "Expanding Windows files". I noticed many mentions of different hardware and software interferences. Rather than investigate each one, I just started my PC in safe mode and ran the installation that way.
It worked perfectly. So I disconnected all drives that were not in use for the installation, i. I did the operation twice, once with an USB drive as the only source and once with a DVD drive as the only source and it worked in these two cases. So it seems that the rule is : you shall prevent windows from looking on other drives or partitions by setting only ONE valid source and ONE valid destination. Right chaps I am so miserable I could cry. I got this error yesterday having just popped in a new GB HDD in to my laptop which runs Windows seven fine on a gb.
I know this works on my Packard Bell Easynote TJ68 why do both Vista and Windows 7 get stuck when expanding files and throws out an error message. On older operating systems always pops up an error when it cant read the disk and would just burn a fresh one and use that so when no similar message on win 7 i just assumed was something else. Expanding Windows files is based off the media type you using to install the OS to machine. I used a DVD i downloaded of the. I then loaded a new.
The "Expanding Windows Files" continued past the 88 percent mark and finished the install completely. Hope this helps anyone out there who runs into this issue, Thanks, Kent C. I guess everyone has a different BIOS tweak. I am doing this on Dell Vostro It would always hang on this machine however.
I made the following tweaks to BIOS:. These options were available on my BIOS. I make no claims that any or all of these are necessary to eliminate this problem of hanging upon Expanding Windows Files; I simply observe that after days of trying different things, when I finally made all these changes in BIOS, it worked!

I've taken a stick of RAM out bringing me down to 2gb, have tried three burns one at the slowest speed and verified , neither has helped. Please help. Wednesday, May 13, AM. I was having the same issue as the original above I originally was getting the 0xce9 error when Windows 7 bit was trying to load the installer, which lead me down the path of burning at a lower speed.
That worked! It prompted to retry the disc, so I popped it back in and it screamed through the install. Hope this helps someone else! Wednesday, October 28, PM. Ford 2. I had the same issue trying to install Vista and Win 7. Tried everything in all of the forums that I checked. I finally disabled Intel SpeedStep in my bios and Win 7 installed like clock-work. This is some type of energy saving something for the cpu. I think AMD calls it hyper transport. Try disabling it for the install.
Hope this works for you. Wednesday, January 6, PM. Guys, I did it!! I've managed to install windows 7 64bits on my PC.
The thing is: I've heard that maybe the problem was related to HyperTransport. It worked as a charm. Of course, after the installation completed I've changed both options to Auto again.
Report back if this works. Friday, May 15, PM. It only took a few minutes to expand windows files. I guess dual layer is key for some reason.
Saturday, October 3, PM. I've been having the same issue as far as the hanging. I have 2 nearly identical PC's. One of the machines installed with no problems. After returning home from work and looking at the various results here I decided to start going through some of the less time consuming walk-throughs.
First focusing on the media. Even when I started with that media I had to burn copies before I got 2 discs to even be recognized at startup. The Memorex ones worked on 2 machines, but even the exact disc I used for those 2 would not work in the other one. So I found another stack I have of disc verbatim I believe, they are the type with inkjet tops and no identifier and burned that one with nero verifying data instead of the win 7 burning tool.
I replaced the disc and voila, installed just fine. Hope this helps someone! Saturday, October 24, AM. I tried disabling the floppy drive, and also changed the HyperTransport settings as suggested, but that did not solve my problem. So, if all else fails I would suggest using a different drive if available to help get it installed. Sunday, December 20, AM. This also worked for me: first was booting with an iso-image on a dc-r. Didn't work: 0xce9 error. Then burned the image on a dvd-rw Tuesday, January 12, PM.
Was trying to install Win 7 pro from XP. The thing that worked for me was disabling webroot spyware and antivirus. The installation flew in no time! Thursday, February 18, PM. Hi Slow installs are known issues.
The problem is that there is no information on exactly why they are slow. The longest I have seen was 16 hours with a Beta Build clean install. After the install completed, the system was perfectly solid for 3 months until the RC was released. The RC installed on that same system in under 30 minutes? There doesn't appear to be any rhyme or reason for this. Best advice I can give is to just let it run.
Hope this helps. I appreciate the suggestion, but perhaps we can brainstorm this a little further. I'm not convinced that this is a 7 issue because I couldn't even get to the language selection screen in Vista last night, either.
I really need to isolate the issue. Wednesday, May 13, PM. Hi Like I said this has been seen on many, many different systems. I tried all sorts of different ways to resolve this, I had been using Ver Did you check the ISO you downloaded?
How did you burn it to disc? Did you check and verify the final disc? My problem was the make of disc that I used! The TDK disc is now completely unusable!! I then had Nero Verify the disc for errors, l did check my first disc which passed ok!!
Viola RC1 installed straight away with no pauses. I ended up downloading the RC again and burned it again at the slowest speed 2. However, to no avail, I still have the slow load times. I'm taking Ronnie's suggestion and just letting it run. There have been a few times where it idles for a considerably long time; during those periods, I open and close the CD tray to cycle the disc again. I had read that a few other people who shared my issue had done that and it seemed to work out and be ok.
I'm really hoping that this installation works. Hi Be sure and let us know how this works out for you. Because I'm having this same issue. I've been told that issue also exists with Vista But I don't have any to test. I actually started thinking this was a nForce issue, but a friend of mine managed to install Vista 64 on his PC perfectly.
Maybe the problem is the sata dvd drive? Thursday, May 14, PM. Needless to say, I'm pretty bummed, and have no idea what is holding my system back. I tried installing Vista 32 and after 10 minutes was still not at the select language screen So, back to XP, which loaded in record time!

Computer with Problem HP My Computer HP I have Tried my drive in her computer, same Problem.
I eliminated that in the first 2 hours of trying to fix this. Remember I said Can't Repair or Restore. And there are over restore points on that computer. But Can't find Restore Points. Recovery disc will not work. Windows DVD when inserted after you choose which partition says Coping files and you can see it is. My self, I am thinking Motherboard or Processor. I removed her hard drive last night.
Her hard drive is just fine. Re installed it in her computer 20 minutes ago. I know there are Restore points on there. But computer can't see them, Like it can't start windows, it can't expand files. Any help will be greatly appeciated. Do you want to apply repairs and restart your computer? Note: On a Dual Boot system there may be only one operating system listed if you have removed one of the two versions of Windows 7.
Additionally, this option displays the entries that are currently not in the BCD store. Use this option when there are Windows Vista or Windows 7 installations that the Boot Manager menu does not list. These messages are the result of the radical changes made by removing the other drive. Note: Please perform step j as detailed below, startup repair must be run multiple times At least 3 times.
Reboot the computer. You can see everything but when you choose an option it just sits there and does nothing. Tried 3 Windows DVD install disc and 2 dvd drives. This is not gonna work!! Tried Install with Thumbdrive. Same thing you can see what to choose but it goes nowhere. Windows System Restore don't work - Can't find 1 and there are over Windows Recovery Disc will not work - It just sits there after you choose an option.
Discs made on that pc. I Removed Hard drive and coppied an operating system on it last nite. Renamed first windows, Old Windows.
Reinstalled Hard drive. I'm doing some test installations in virtual machines with MB of ram and everything is fine. It's not a problem of ram but upgrading is indeed a good thing. Feb 25, 42 62 0. Just wait a few minutes and it will start extracting. Mar 14, 9 0 0. Come on! I need more!
