Re: Home Premium installation Alan Pitts 6/30/2007 3:16:02 PM Duh, what an idiot....sorry about that :) The PC freezes during the 'completion of installation' stage and on reboot I get "Vista installation failed your previous system will be restored". -- Regards, Alan "Mac" wrote: [Quoted Text] > You didn't say what error you are getting... > > "Alan Pitts" <AlanPitts[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:85BD54E4-20D9-46B6-8F59-2EAEDD406670[ at ]microsoft.com... > > Installation fails on my PC, even though I have updated drivers and the MS > > Compatibility programme doesn't identify any issues?
