Huzzah! Sort of. I managed to build it with just one (out of 3) images, (Ultimate) which made it take, instead of 15+ on the laptop and something like 8 on the desktop, just over 2.5 hours. I stripped out the AMD Filter driver which helped with the bluescreens right after install. I installed to a Vbox, and it installed, rebooted, installed completely, then started up. It works without any problems, amazingly. I start it, let it run, do things, shut down - it's a little slow to shut down but hey it's a vbox. It's when it runs on a separate PC, the one that I first tested it on, (a tower with 3.0 quad core AMD CPU and 4GB RAM), that something odd happens. It installs just fine, boots fine, but then shutting down is an issue - it sits on shutting down. Now I know the computer itself will shut down properly as there's an existing install of W7 on another partition, shuts down just like any other computer. Anyone had this? EDIT: Oh it gets even better. Sometimes it shuts down, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it boots, sometimes it hangs on the Windows screen without "logging in" or anything, but has mouse. Good lord. The vbox behaves fine, I'm concerned it's my machine in this instance, because the vBox I can start up, shut down, and a million other tasks. What I can't do... is anything properly useful with the vbox.
