Problems installing Windows 7

I'm using Parallels 6 for the mac. I have been having issues installing Windows 7. I got it to work once a few months ago, but needed to delete the Windows partition because I couldn't resize it.

I create the partition in Parallels and start the install of Windows 7, it gets to 46% installed and then hangs, forever.

I've also tried creating a partition with bootcamp and installing windows 7 on that partition. Same issue. It gets to 46% installed and then hangs.

I got it to work for the first install I did a few months ago, but can't remember how I did it.

Anyone have any ideas?

 

Just use the wizard via File>New.

Do you have enough free space on disk?
