QUOTE(Dr. Joe @ Nov 15 2008, 10:28 PM)  I have a formatted internal HD on my Inspiron 1720 laptop that im attempting to install windows vista on. I trying to do it using the reinstallation cd that came with my computer. When I run from the DVD and install, I get to the "Where do you ant to install windows?" screen and I get an error message that says "Windows installation encountered an unexpected error. Verify that the installation sources are acceptable, and restart the installation. Error code: 0xE0000100" I dont know what to do to get passed this. Somebody please help me asap because I need my computer. Thanks so much in advance. Solved my own problem. But now when i install windows it hangs at "Completing Installation". Any ideas? |

Is this an upgrade or a clean installation? There can be many causes for the completing installation to hang. Since this is a laptop, I would suggest unplugging, from the PC, everything except the power cable prior to installing. If you have a SATA hard disk, some have suggested going into the BIOS and changing SATA operation from AHCI to ATA. I found two sites which has some info that might help.
