W2k clean install on Toughbook
See the above post in the laptop forum for more info and previously tried remedies.
The basic question that I have is why is it taking so long for w2k pro to install? I have so far spent 72 hours trying to install, without installation runtime interruption mind you, w2k on this laptop. It is going super slow. When I booted with the CD, all of the text portion of the setup went really well, only took about 15 minutes to go thru. The first time it boots into windows, when the setup goes into the installing devices mode, this is when time starts to pile up. Now, it is at the finalizing installation screen, and has been there working for about 30 hours now.
Anybody have a clue as to what is going on?
