The Error Message that Won't Go AWAY!!!!!!!!

 

[Jimbo22]

So...what are you doing when you get this error message? A quick fix is to use system restore.

 

[RingAnimated]

Actually did startup repair a while ago (windows 8 trying to murder 7?) and it still didn't go away.

 

[Jimbo22]

Ok...I'm confused now....do you have both 7 and 8 installed on your computer running a dual boot set up? Or did you just install 8 over top of 7?

 

[RingAnimated]

i got rid of win 8 dual boot.

 

[Jimbo22]

Did you reformat the partition that had windows 8 on it? Sounds and looks like to me that there are some remnants of it left over and causing the error message you are getting.

Thats what i should have done, i just deleted it. There is a new hidden folder on my c drive, should i delete it, it has win8 related stuff in it.

 

[Jimbo22]

Yes...............................

 

[Jimbo22]

Do you still have the partition that had 8 on it? If so I would format it and that will wipe out everything on it. Then if it were me, I would re-allocate the partitioned drive back to the C: drive.

 

[RingAnimated]

Nope that partition is gone. And re-allocated back to C. I should delete the folder "$WINDOWS.~BT" It seems to have windows 8 info in it.

 

[Jimbo22]

Anything to do with windows 8....get rid of.

 

[RingAnimated]

Just made a restore point just incase. Am going to delete it now...

Well other than a quicker startup it still says windows 8 is still there. I have 7 setup as main now at least though. Here soon maybe ill do a fresh reinstall of win 7 GAMER, being as ive heard it being better with games and RAM.
