    Just got my 1720 and I'm trying to reinstall Vista to get rid of the bloatware. It seems to hang on the 'expanding files' part. Now I've heard of people having trouble with the SATA drivers, but installation seems to hang on 'installation completed' for that problem.
    Any idea what could be stalling the install?
