    Hi all,
    Below are my specs:

    AMD x2 5600
    Gigabyte ma69gm
    4x1gb DDR2 800

    HDD:
    1.160GB Primary active with Windows XP 32bit
    2.640GB with partition 1 - 320GB with Windows 7 Pro 32bit (dual boot) running fine.
    Partition 2 - 320GB with no OS.

    I'm trying to install another copy of Windows 7 Pro x64 on the partition 2(triple boot), but everytime (including a fresh formatted partition) the final boot after installation just doesnt start for the first time.

    It just hangs with the Win 7 logo. I tried to repair the installation but it seems no help.

    Anyone have idea how to solve this?

    hi RTShaw, care to elaborate what should i do with bootitNG ?

    My situation currently is such that windows 7 64 bit can be selected to start in the Boot manager, just after that when the flashing logo starts, it hangs after a short while.

    I tried once to go into safe mode, but it says that windows must restart in normal mode to setup windows for the first time.
