disk boot

I am currently trying to overwrite my old PC to hand it to my girlfriend with a clean slate. It's currently a win7 home premium. I changed boot priority to DVD over HDD, insert Win10 disc, start PC. When prompted to press any key the win10 logo comes up and after a few minutes I am told that a...

Yesterday, I uninstalled Daemon Tools VHDs in device management and restarted, and after that, I couldn't boot properly anymore, the automatic repair doesn't work, pc refresh is not working because the drive is apparently locked and pc rest is not working either because a required drive...

I got my new comp today, was told that Win 7 would already be installed. turned it on & get this on the monitor, choose which boot device or boot disk, restart comp then press any key to continue. Shouldn't it start up with wind 7 if it is already installed ? So I then try to boot from disk &...

Hi all, So I have had a small nightmarish time of updating my PC. I had bought a new GPU and a SSD harddisk. I could not get them installed properly myself, so had to turn in my PC to a professional to get them installed and working. I got my PC back today and the new GPU and the new harddisk...

So I wanted to upgrade my Windows 7 to Windows 8 Pro, and which so on as I was going to, I was unable to upgrade it because of two reasons; 1 - I cannot get through my Desktop screen nor to my Log In screen 2 - My Windows 7 Hard Drive has this message "disk boot failure insert system disk and...

A little odd, but maybe someone here can help :D If i have any drives hooked up via sata cable, the computer wont boot from disk. If I have no HDD hooked up, it will. I am using a GIGABYTE GA-78LMT-S2p motherboard with a amd 6 core 1045t. I truly appreciate any help, thank you again.

During an automatic update from Microsoft last night the battery fell out of my daughters laptop. This morning, nothing will open. Have tried safe mode but even that won't open windows. After a lot of digging it says on the recovery management that there is a bad patch which presumably if the...

I have a modified HP Media Center Edition. My dad was on it and said that it crashed with a BSOD. When I rebooted it said Disk boot failure, insert system disk and press enter. I inserted the Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate installation disk that I had used to install this copy and the computer...

Hello! I am having some serious issues with my computer! I have a Gateway with a Western Digital HDD. I do not know the specifics, but I could look them up if you could tell me where to look! I am good with computers - just not computer language, so bear with me! I installed Windows 7 32-bit...

Hi guys, i'm really hoping someone can help me out. I recently used the @bios utility from Gigabyte to update my motherboard bios. I've used this plenty of times in the past on Vista 64 bit with no problems. However this is the first time i've used it with Windows 7. It went through the usual...

I am currently running Windows XP 32-bit. I am attempting to install Windows 7 64 (yes, my processor is a 64). When I boot from the disk, I get the initial black screen and the loading files bar, the moving dots and windows logo. Then an artsy blue screen and nothing else. I can move my mouse...

Hi, I have the most bizarre problem, well it is bizarre to me at least and I can't find a way around it. I have just built a new pc with 2 x 1TB Samsung Spinpoint F1 HDDs and Samsung and Sony DVD-RW drives and a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. I have run the installation process for Windows...

Hi there, I've been using W7 RC x64 since it came out and I must say it worked great. However, this morning I've had a Disk boot failure message. I didn't have time to investigate yet, but I'd like to hear your thoughts about the possible cause of this. I did not install anything that day or...

Ok I find this to be a pretty weird problem. I have w7 RC 64bit installed successfully. My primary drive is first on the boot list of hdds and my current boot order is removable, cd-rom, hard drive and I have other boot methods disabled (had to because it was trying to do a network boot before)...

Yesterday I finally managed to upgrade from XP to Vista Ultimate after a few problems I encountered along the way. Today I decided to uninstall some programs that I no longer needed. So I first started uninstalling Corel Paint Shop Pro X. Halfway through the uninstallation process I got the BSOD...
