    "Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows on this computer, restart the installation."

    I KEEP GETTING THAT. What's wrong with it? I read over at the Asus thread that you're just gonna have to keep the laptop on without having to click OK on the pop-up 'cause it's installing in the background or whatever. It'll shut off by itself when it's done. *shrugs* It's been three hours already too.

    I just got a new 320gb hdd from HP today with the recovery discs. I installed the hard-drive disc just fine and popped in the recovery discs. Everything went well till that pop-up appeared. I'm tired of seeing this.

    PLEASE HELP ME.
