bootloader

Hi guys, I really hate having to ask for help but this time I feel I have no choice... First of all, I know I screwed up, bad. My problem is that I need to get my old windows 7 partition to be read as a system and/or boot drive again. I have two hard disks. Primary Slave - "Media" has no OS...

Windows 7 is so new that there isn't much out there on the W7 boot loader or how to install Linux in a dual boot configuration with Windows 7. Some comments on certain Linux sites suggests that W7 doesn't "like" Linux. Some people have lost the Windows 7 bootloader trying to install Linux. I...

My MB recently died and I upgraded almost the entire bank of components within the case. Had a copy of WinXP SP2 but would not load, so tried Ubuntu after previewing and digesting... Long story short, ended up using 'killdisk' to remove Ubuntu, subsequently installed Windows 7 Ultimate. Going...

I have installed Win7 RTM on a second disk. I use a bootloader to boot to the second disk. The install goes really well. After the install is finished and I am presented with the desktop for the first time. The Sleep (Hybrid Sleep) mode that is the default works fine. Windows goes to sleep...

I cannot seem to figure this one out. I initially installed Windows 7 RC on my newer SATA Hard drive with my older but working Windows XP drive still active. I finished installation and went into Windows 7. All was good, so I was going to save a little power and heat and disconnect the...

I have somewhat the same problem as this guy has: Link Removed I read that you guys might need the Diskmgmt information in his topic so here it is: I had the RC which was dualbooting fine alongside XP. Then I got the RTM, burned it, booted up with it, deleted and formatted the partition on...

This is starting to get boring, what am I missing here or do I have a rouge copy. OK I have installed W7 on a separate hard disc to my XP all went swell till I restarted, it just goes straight into W7. Everything I read said I needed to install EasyBCD and add an entry to the bootloader so I did...

So, I have a strange issue. I think it would be easiest to just describe the steps that I have taken and the results. First, I just built a new system. Specs are Asus P6T motherboard, intel i7 920, 12 GB OCZ Platinum 1333mhz DDR3, XFX Geforce GTX 260 black edition, 1300W Tagan ABS modular psu, 1...

What an adventure!! I'm posting this in the hopes of preventing someone, somewhere some grief if they use a similar approach to setting up a new HDD. I just purchased a new, larger (Seagate Momentus 7200 rpm HDD,320 GB) to replace the 200 GB Momentus 7200 rpm drive I've been using for awhile...

Hey, I recently got the new RC off Microsoft installing alongside a relatively new XP Pro installation. I have two 320gb SATA HDs that I'm working off right now, the two operating systems are on different hard drives. After installing Windows 7 I did not get a dual boot option like most guides...

I have installed Windows 7 RC a few weeks ago. Everything was working perfectly, in fact, I was pleasantly surprised. Then, a few days ago, I got home to find the machine with the blue screen. The problem appeared to have been minidump, which instantly reminded me of a similar problem I had with...

Okay, when the official Windows 7 RC came out, I wanted to try it, but I wasn't sure how things would work so I kept my original XP and put Windows 7 on a second partition on the hard disk. After trying windows 7 I decided I liked it, and after transfering my files I decided I didn't need...

I've been looking for the solution for my lost Windows 7 bootloader for quite some time and finally found the solution on a Dutch forum. I had installed Windows 7 Dual boot on a different partition. Main OS is and was XP. Due to problems with XP had to overwrite XP installation with Back-Up...

I tried installing W7 on a a spare partition on my (fakeraid) RAID1, and installation went through but I get an error after selecting W7 from the bootloader (I can still boot XP from the W7 bootloader). Is it possible that installation could pass but booting could fail if I used the wrong RAID...

Windows 7 includes its own pretty little recovery partition, which uses a non-standard format (UGGH!). I'd like to remove it from my laptop multiboot system. Anyone know if this will cause problems? I use GRUB as my bootloader. The tail end of my grub file looks like this: title Windows 7...
