Reply With QuoteMy Only thoughts are that there is an issue with it loading some of the drivers for some of the hardware. I don't have a touchsmart computer so i cannot confirm this theory. Did you try both 64 bit versions of the operating system?

Hi. I'm trying to install the developer preview on a seperate partition on my HP Touchsmart 610-1120a. The image works just fine in virtual box but fails when I try to install to disk. What happens is that it installs all the files, does the first restart and goes to "loading devices". It gets to about 80% and freezes. One time I got as far as entering the computer name, but then it froze. I have tried about 5 times now on a couple of difference configurations with both the 32 and 64 bit editions. I know my disc is fine because I used it successefully to do a similar install on my laptop. Any ideas?

No I didn't try the second 64 bit edition, but since the 32 bit edition has the same issue I think it is pretty unlikely to help.

As Mike states, could be a video card problem. I would check to see if a graphics card driver update might help. Go directly to the graphics card manufacturer for drivers.
