Hey guys, trying to breathe some life back into my laptop by installing W7 Pro 64-bit using an external DVD drive (the internal one doesn't work) and a brand new HDD - the system boots up and goes through the usual POST routine fine, recognizes the install disc in the external drive, and starts loading the files.
However, after that it goes to the "starting Windows" screen (black, with the little swirly animation in the center) - the animation starts, but almost immediately after freezes and won't go any further (and it stops reading from the disc). Any thoughts? Processor is an Intel T9300 C2D btw
