I started installing Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit onto a IDE HDD, but when the PC restarted as part of the installation it refused to boot past the page that states what drives are fitted with the Smart ok, etc. I&#8217;ve tried to enter the SETUP and BOOT FROM mode and although the selections show as being choseen nothing happens. I have tried the HDD as a Master and also a Slave to seperate working Masters (XP &amp; 7), but the PC will not go past the aforementioned page. It seems my PC is only for 32 Bit programs so I suspect my 64 Bit installation has caused the trouble I&#8217;m experiencing. How can I get my PC to accept the IDE HDD with the first stage of Windows 7 Ult 64 Bit?<br \/>\nI&#8217;m running with a Pentium 4 CPU &amp; 2Gb RAM.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"iawp_total_views":4},"question-category":[47],"question_tags":[],"class_list":["post-6339","question","type-question","status-publish","hentry","question-category-hardware"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question\/6339","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/question"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6339"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6339"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"question-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question-category?post=6339"},{"taxonomy":"question_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question_tags?post=6339"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
