I doubt it's hung permanently. A hang at T39 is to be expected, but an hour does seem awful long. Did you integrate over a clean CD?

i have exactly the same problem, and even longer (at least an hour and a half) - on a clean SP2 CD (integrated manually with integrator).

My longest hang was 27 minutes on a crappy 600 mhz pc with a 4 x cdrom

, so one hour sounds like somehing is really wrong,
oh btw correct me if im wrong ryan but technically the install doesnt hang at t-39 its just that its signing the cats or signing the files defined in the cats i think.

did you update a clean install?

it does take me about 10min to get through t39 stage now. i have bash's DP (method2) and ryan 1.3.1 along with nlite

comp is sempron @ 2ghz and 1ghz.

probably it's not bad idea to burn your UA cd again with different media and at slow speed. (if you notice that comp has reading your current cd) .. happened to me couple times with my memorex .. after using taiyo cdr .. problem went away

I just had the same problem. It "hang" at the T-39 for about 10 minutes, now its upto 36min remaining

Im running a Athlon XP 2500+ (barton) / 1GB PC-3200.

its a known issue, the install will hang at t-39

Allways use a freshly slipstreamed SP2 disk or a real SP2 disk with no hotfixes integrated. From my experiances and others it is best to start fresh. If you don't then problems may occur when it tries to install the hotfixes twice. I think that is the issue because I was having the same issues and I used the shift F10 trick and found out that there were multiple hotfixes that were hung.

I reported this in another topic but i had the same issue last night.

Please can you list your hardware if you have problems.

The chipset and what type of drive ( sata or ide ) I think are very important.

And if you had to use the f6 to add sata drivers or if you slipped in sata drivers so you dont have to f6 where you normaly would.

My Hardware.
Abit VT7, Via Chipset and sata drive with sata drivers slipped in using this http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?sho ... 34440&st=0 method and not the bashrat pack.

i have a sata drive and slip the drivers in ...vm took about 9 min at the t39.
still as completely install in 25 min far less the the 39 minute window says.
so i have no problem.

Actually you might have sata drive but your vm dosnt, it emulates standard hardware, so your test to VM is the same as installing to real hardware using IDE drives and an intel chipset.

buletov · Post by **buletov** » Sat Aug 27, 2005 7:45 am

not exactly... maybe the emulated hardware is not sata, however it is as fast as one... since the real hdd is actually sata

Its not the speed of the drive thats in question, its weather the T39 Delay is exagerated because the install is on a Via chipset or is using a sata drive or drivers.

Installing to a Virtual PC is not a valid test for this, as your install on your VM or VPC should be the same as mine is providing our source disks are the same.

The Problem is only diagnoseable (real word?) when we install to real hardware and expose the install to real hardware.

I wouldnt even refer to this as an 'issue'

Its a normal function of integrating the *.cat files.

Remove all reference of *.cat from svcpack.in_
and watch your installation fly past T39

Vm Ware is capable of emulating sata drives, just be sure to select it when creating your virtual disc, and yes i have tried it, and yes it is slower with sata than with ide drives, go figure, i have no idea why.
