bootloader

Hello I've run into a problem, my Disk0 is disappearing in windows 7 after I wake my computer from sleep mode. At first I thought the problem was caused by lilo (a linux bootloader for those that don't know). I disabled lilo by running bootsect for my Winodws 7 install disk. It turns out lilo...

I was running a dual boot setup with two XP installations, and I upgraded one to Win 7. Stupidly I forgot to back up the boot info for the XP install and 7 wiped it. I'm trying to fix this and having a hard time with it. So far I have downloaded the 3 files (boot.ini, NTDETECT, and ntldr) and...

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...

I'm a bit concerned about my installation options at this point. I have one 500GB HD, that I had partitioned to two drives with GParted. I was then able to install the Win 7 RC and dual boot both versions just fine. Now, I received my Windows 7 Upgrade copy and wondering if I can still...

I've already saved everything I need (mainly e-mails) to my USB drive. My primary drive is partitioned with XP and Linux Ubuntu in a dual boot. When I do a "custom" Windows 7 install will it only wipe the XP partition or will it wipe the entire hard drive and set it to one partition? I'd prefer...

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...

Hi guys I just downloaded a Windows 7 x64 from a torrent site but it has been modified and a activator was inserted. Now my question is how do I fix the installer and remove the modified boot loader / patch? Thanks

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've spent quite a few days trying to install Win 7 in a dual boot enviroment with an existing Vista operating system. Vista came pre-installed on a large SATA HD that I reconfigured into 2 partitions (Vista on the 1st). Unfortunately, the OEM cabled the drive to one of the middle sequenced of 6...

I've been going at this all day searching, trial and error, and it's all very frustrating at this point. I wanted to try Windows 7 since it has been released in the RC status (because I had aquaintances try 7000 beta, and no one liked it). So I want to have it on my machine to tinker with and...

I have 2 hard drives, the first has Win 7 RC1 and the second has XP and Vista in their own partitions. The Win 7 boot loader gives me the choice of Win7, Vista and XP when I boot up. The question is: If I install Ubuntu onto the second HD in a currently unoccupied partion, will GRUB (which is...

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...
