by on June 18, 2010

Q: I’m trying to reinstall Windows XP Pro on a laptop after I cleaned a virus but the Windows setup gets stuck at 34 minutes left of installation (installing devices step) and nothing more. I’ve tried a few times already but it always stop there. Any suggestions?

    Try letting the laptop sit for two hours in case it is taking its sweet time.

    Here are a few other ideas that might help too:

    thanks for your reply, seems that the HD finally crashed, and setup doesn’t recognize any partition, so now i m just trying to recover some data, and will reformat after that.
    I ve been reading all your comments, and i;ve been also learning a lot, so thanks to all of you.

    regards.
