Slow Windows Installation Problem

It is possibly one of several Windows installations carried out but it is different from the others done in time past. No error message displayed on screen pointing to what's wrong with the Windows setup. Everything seems to be working fine only the pace at which the process is being carried out is outrageously slow. From the time the installation disk is inserted to the loading of files run gradually but smoothly util the the time of decompressing and copying of the loaded files. The indicator at the lower right-hand side of the screen runs endlessly, it is as if the system is  running particular process in a loop.

The 'Collecting Information' is done swiftly,  'Dynamic Update' went through without any hitch and the 'Preparing Installation' just finished. One hour passed still no sign of it getting over the 'Installing Windows' point. Looking little below the time displayed for the installation to complete drops sluggishly or even endlessly and it is a bit disturbing. It is non-encouraging for other necessary drivers needed to be forestalled on time the Windows Operating System  of  the computer to function well.

On about what to do in getting passed that point seems impossible. Intention to press some keys for any change is persuading yet angrily. One of the minds says to wait and waiting for another hour thing remains the same. This steps is meant for you to get your installation done on time.
