The boot camp partition is 32GB, and i have the same issue whether starting the installation using the boot camp assistant, or just booting from the Windows DVD and formatting the boot camp partition during the install.

I have tried installing without any peripherals plugged in, including my cinema display, but still no joy, except for that one occasion, when i am not aware of having done anything different. but i have tried two different windows 7 install DVDs in both drives on my Mac Pro and i keep getting the same problem. When the installation hangs it sounds like the install DVD is making a whirring sound as though there is an issue reading the DVD. i initially had this problem, then one time it worked, but then i had to wipe my boot camp partition and start again, and since then no joy in installing windows 7 again. Windows 7 Setup is starting - hangs forever - posted in Windows 7: Hello, Ive just built a PC, and I bought a copy of Windows 7 OEM builder - I put the disk in and everything loaded as expected.


I am trying to install windows 7 ultimate 32 bit using boot camp and each time i have tried (except on one occasion) the installation has hanged on the 'completing installation' stage.
