All went swimingly up to the point of the os actually loading at which point it has frozen for 2hours at "Windows is loading files............."
The only way now is to switch off and then on again.
What might I expect or will the choice be obvious?
Can I start again and load over whatever has happened up till now or do I have to erase all that is on the new partition?
As for your previous advice, I got an iso image but stupid me downloaded the 32bit version. I went back to redo it properly, but Microsoft wouldn't let me have another go. I then reralised that i didn't need an iso as |I had the origial disc so off I went again.
Now I'm in limbo!!
(Lucky I have an old XP to use)
