OK, I have an intel x25-m G2 160GB SSD, 40GB of it has been partitioned for Windows 7.
I started up the Windows installer, formatted the 40GB partition to NTFS, began the installation, it reached "Completing Installation" and then stayed there - I waited about half an hour maybe an hour at most.
When I installed the Windows 7 RC it did not take this long, this is the full ultimate version that I'm trying now.

I saw the dots after the Completing Installation text moving like it's waiting: . .. ... . .. ... . .. ... etc...
But the progress bar wasn't moving and I couldn't move the mouse (I could before).

I turned off my Mac, and booted up the Windows partition to see if it works and it said some services failed to initialize and it couldn't start and it needed to restart to continue the installation, retrying again now.

Anyone have any idea's, I'm trying again atm.
