Loading W7 Ultimate on Netbook via USB issue!!

Hi All

I've used the Microsoft tool and wintoflash and all seemed to work fine but I boot once from the pen, set primary drive and UK it gets through the first part of the install reboots and starts from the beginning again???

I'm stumped??

Any idea's?

Thanks

Have you tried pressing F8 for the boot menu every time the installation needs to restart and selecting the USB pen? Had this exact problem myself and choosing what to boot from each time sorted it.

On it!

Update: Tried that and it keeps going back to the start again?

Oops just realized what I put, try the same but selecting the hard drive you're installing onto each time.

Lol just tried that before you posted as I thought it was strange! Looks like we're cooking on gas

Many thanks

I used to hate that on Windows XP; Forgetting to change boot order and it just looped all the time.

First time I've built from USB, won't be making that mistake twice!

Thanks guys
