pcmantinker said:I helped a friend from school install Windows 7 on his new computer a few months ago. I know that he has a Gigabyte motherboard, but I don't remember which model. It took forever for the Windows installer to load and install but after that, his computer ran fine. I suppose that there is an issue with the Windows 7 installer and some Gigabyte motherboards. It also may depend on system configuration.
Also, I have high scale Blu-Ray combo drive with a fast DVD read speed. That may have helped with improving the installation speed.
Oh, that's true. I may try putting my DVD onto a USB and seeing what happens. Hopefully it speeds things up. Thanks for the info! The Windows 7 Installer is indeed faster on my non-Gigabyte laptop.
