Been trying to install Windows 7 64 to my MBP through Boot Camp, but it hangs when loading files from the DVD. It'll get through the progress bar saying "Windows is loading files..." but then stops after that.

My Macbook Pro was one of the last models of non-Unibody MBPs (Early 2008), so it's on the "approved for 64bit" list.

MacBookPro3,1
2.4 ghz Core2Duo
8600M GT
4gb RAM
Internal DVD (SuperDrive)
OS X 10.6.4

I did just add a third party HDD (500 GB) if that makes a difference. Also I am using an external monitor to display everything because my laptop screen is broken.

Any ideas on what to do?
