Hello,
Recently I bought a new motherboard,processor, ram and a graphics card for my old system to upgrade it.
The Processor is AMD Phenom X4
Motherboard>GIGABYTE MA78GM-US2H
2GB * 2 DDR2 Ram
1GB NVIDIA 9400GT
However after upgrading when I installed xp it was ok.But after that I tried to install Windows 7 RC. But after booting from the DVD after welcome screen the process just stops. Only The blue wallpaper of Windows 7 shows.
Previously I had 2 HDD as SATA and 2 Optical Drives.One is a CD drive and another is a DVD Drive..Before posting here some googling showed me having some problems with this mother board as sometimes it doesn't detect SATA HDDs or that kind of results.But nothing is clear to me..So please help me...Thank you in advance..

I think your SATA drivers are not installed. Cant say... I have never installed Windows 7.

I also dont know much abt Win7 but if it works with XP it SHOULD work with 7.

Keep googling :$

@aneek, just wait for 10-15 minutes at that blank screen, win7 installation is very very slow on my rig too :)
