    Got my update disk today.

    While installing and 'expanding files', the disk tray popped open at 21%. I pushed it back in, waited an hour, and it never went past 21% (Though the HDD light was chugging along like it was doing something). I restarted and now I'm waiting to roll back to Vista and start over. Anyone else have a similar issue on a Dv3?

    Update: I ran the disk again after rolling back and it gave me the same problem. An error message pops up after it says "Windows needs to be restarted". That message is one of those 0.5second messages you can't really read, then the tray pops open, and windows restarts. Uhg

    Are you doing an "Upgrade" or a "Custom" (Clean) install?

    Just a thought. Make sure that you don't have any USB devices or external devices plugged into your laptop during the install. They can create these types of issues.
