    I am trying to install a vLited (1.3 GB image) copy of Vista Ultimate with SP1 from USB key to my AAO w/ SSD and 1.5GB RAM. It boots and runs fine, copies and expands files, updates, reboots, starts to "complete installation" (HDD light blinks every now and then) then hangs up (HDD stays lit permanently). I have let it sit at this point for over an hour. I tried loading the intel drivers at the format point of install (read this somewhere), but that didn't help.

    I have seen people booting and running Vista on YouTube and it looks like it runs OK. I would appreciate any help getting it running to see for myself. Thanks in advance for any help!! :D
