I got an e-mail from Arjan as below

Hello,

Is it right that this topic is yours?

So yes, Have you already fixed the problem because i've got the same problem
and can't figure it out.

Thanks for now,

Arjan

Yes Arjan I did fix it, turned out to be a simple fix, but not sure if it will work for you.

The problem was that there were 2 Hard Disks, the jumper on one was set to Cable-Select and the other to Master, once the Jumpers were set correctly to Master and Slave the problem went away.

Looks like this is a Windows Installer bug, as it should have given a useful error message (Such as "unable to detect the drive") instead of just hanging on the Install. Not sure if this issue is unique to this MOBO/BIOS but there does seem to be similar reported issues with it.

hope this helps

Cheers

Dave
