Boot your machine with a blank hard drive using the Windows 7 DVD. Click next on the language screen if English is appropriate. SHIFT+F10 to launch a WinPE command console.  Although the commands below are in upper case, the commands are not case sensitive.  I am only using upper case for readability here. Enter DISKPART to run the utility.LIST DISK to see the available disks in your system.  I am assuming a single raw disk. SEL DISK 0

Step 5 errorSystem.ServiceProcess.TimeoutException: Time out has expired and the operation has not been completed

SolutionReason:In Step 5 basically installer is trying to start various services including search service and failed to start the SharePoint Search Server 14 or SharePoint Foundation Search v4.

Solution:Manually start these services will fix the issue. If they are not getting started manually also then you might need to change the Identity to run the service to Local System.
