Wait is it built on the motherboard or is it a card?
If its integrated its forgeted.

If its a card than push it back in, if it actually goes back in it was loose.

Give it a bit longer it should work. I've installed enough windows 7 OS's to know what I'm talking about.
Unless its like froze than you're forgeted.

installed it 27 times on multiple computers excluding virtual machines and it has never stalled when moving files from previous versions of windows
there's a problem with your computers

you didn't even rule the fact that the integrated wireless could be disabled in the BIOS without jumping to the conclusion it's broken
please shut up

you can typically find the card in an expansion slot in a desktop, and under the left part of the keyboard on a laptop

Well it still installed in the end, stop trying to put Maxwell down.

Don't worry Maxwell it should install.

its either moving a big file, or a lot.

simulating a typical user folder (2.4GiB) and a typical program files folder (13GiB) it should take 13 to 20 minutes for a 43MB/s write HDD
all modern hard drives have a typical 70MB/s (low-end 5400RPM drives) or more

at least it isn't frozen, is that a good sign?

Windows 7 PE isn't prone to freezing so i guess so

Still hasn't changed, what should I do?

Oh great, the power went out, now I can't perform an in place install. Vista won't reload either, so I'm gonna have to do custom.

Depends what's in it. But generally around 700-800 is fine. You could also have a check of this but take it with a pinch of salt. http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp

you couldn't do an in-place install because it forgeted up, not because of a power outage
if it didn't move for over 30 minutes clearly something was wrong

it started going again though, then the power went out, but I've got windows 7 now, drivers too.

Can someone explain to me why UEFI makes existing hard drive partitions impossible to install to?
