I am installing W7 Ent on an LG R580.

I am working with a valid ISO (installs perfect on other systems).

During the installation, before the installation window, the process hangs, and I get a black, cmd.exe screen with the following:

Select Administrator: X:\windows\system32\cmd.exe
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]

with a prompt for: X:\windows\system32

My keyboard at that time only prints capital letters with '^' before each.

enter image description here

Only thing that I am able to do is reboot.

In the bios, I tried to disable USB Legacy ( thinking the problem is with my DVD ) - did not help.
