    Was trying to install Vista32 OEM on Asus G1S, remove all partitions, include hidden (grub), Vista installation run fine, until it reach the point of final update, then it was sitting idle for 2 hour.
    it has been doing 'Completing installation' for more than an hour.
    Is it supposed to be like this?
    The setup is not frozen or anything since I see 3 dots keep appearing after 'completing installation' plus the hard drive light flashes at some points.

    shouldn't take that long as far as I know. I never deleted the hidden partition (I don't know how to access it to use it to help with the restore) and installed windows vista on the 2nd partition. took an hour or so, and I needed to swap disks at least once.
