    I'm installing Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, via a thumb-drive, and the setup went fine up until the installation, which said that "Your computer will restart a few times during the installation." After almost two and a half hours of constant five-to-ten-minute cycles of entering the information, installing and rebooting, there doesn't seem to be any progress occurring. What's the problem?

    Most likely there is a problem with your USB thumb drive.

    What steps did you use to make the thumb drive?

    Have you tried redoing the thumb drive?

    The drive was new from the box when I installed Windows on it, and I downloaded the Digital River ISO version from online before using the USB/DVD download tool to convert it. I'm deleting and re-converting the file to the USB drive now, and will write back if the problem repeats.

    The problem turned out to be with the USB; something was jamming the cable leading to the drive during construction of the PC, and a rerouting fixed the problem.
