Hi Mike! Yes, i found it me too looking for the HP Support. Thanks. Cheers N.

I have a set of three Recovery DVDs that I bought from the HP retailer of my town...They should be bootable, isn't it? Well! at Restart I am doing the usual thing... pressing [enter] at the right point, but the notebook ignore them and jump on Boot Manager! Things are getting more complicate too.

I agree Mike! Since I've lost a lot of stuff , me too now I use to back up always on EXTERNAL drivers (USB or DVD RW) now in a 750GB I do have a lot of folders/files.... By the way, thank you for suggesting the EasyBCD, that was really a treat. Time by time I am use to whip the HDD and...

Hi Saltgrass, I did like you said. By the way,Looks like "EasyBCD" it is really a little jewel on managing the boot and checking that box I found something interesting to put another question. I have a Recovery partition in D: (see attach.) Could I use the"Create Bootable External Media" to...

Hi davehc, At the moment of rename the file my hand start to shake...you know what I mean(?)I don't like to try...I am not a gambler and I do not trust my luck. I didn't at the end, because the boot manager is giving the priority to XP over Window7 and I don't know if, after all, the boot will...

Hi Mike! Before I procede to rename it, do you think that's the only file to rename or there are some more? Will the PC reboot? Thanks

I will try to rename it xxBOT (?) thanks a lot...God bless you and everybody that have spent their patience with me. Nivetar

Hi ! I am really sorry, but I cannot remeber exactly the steps I toke trying to install XP (pro 64bit) over the Windows 7 (home premium 64bit)...I am carrying this problem for few week now...it is only an "hiccup" just to void the reboot on XP, because looks like XP has got the priority over...

Great! This is what I found in Windows 7 C: ...next step?

Thanks davehc! I know how to change Folder Options. For the rest, I need to be "carried", step by step, to wath you call 'on the root of one partitions/HDs'...I am very embarrassed for my ignorance and I appreciate a lot your patience too! N.

Hi Mike, I really would like to reach the boot.ini and rename it as you wrote...but how I could on Windows 7 !?. I know, more or less, how to alter the Folder Options in order to show hidden files; that's all I can do. I follow the link you gave me "what happened to the boot.ini file?" and I...

I am sorry davehc, how I could reach the boot.ini in Windows 7? I am not so use to PC . I know how to unhide files in "Folders Option" I found an instruction regarding how to find boot.ini in Windows XP...but how I find it in Windows 7? Computer > Properties.... Thanks for your patience!

Hi davehc! Yes , it could be a remnant of my attempt to instal the XP pro 64bit over the Windows 7. The Boot Manager give it the priority over the Windows 7, but I can still manage the handle in the 10 second of time... or [escape] and do it all over again...Once in Windows 7 the notebook works...

Hi Mike! I have download the EasyBCD and try it...It was showing only Windows 7. Thanks for your further help.
