I am installing vista on my dell XPS 410 which has windows xp home edition. i chose the save file and settings while installing vista. It copied windows files fine, it gathered files fine... then when it got to "expanding files" it has been on 21 % for about an hour now with no other progress. I saw someone else post this very thing with the exact same % hangup. I tried to "X" out of the install to start over but then got a message that it is too late to cancel out and that if I was to do so i may damage the system from being still able to install again.
do i still wait and see if it will go? there are 3 dots that are flashing after the 21% but nothing else happening.
Thanks for any help!
This is the oem builders pack i bought.
