I decided to give my acer aspire 5515 to my stepson, so i was reinstalling windows 7 on it and it accidently aborted before finishing installing. Now when I put my disc in it doesn't read it and never repairs it, never completes it, just keeps rebootiing. I have tried set up default settings, system repair, but nothing works.
View 10 RepliesPer microsoft I need to do try a repair install from original disk. Is there a difference between running repair install from Windows or booting from original disk then selecting upgrade install? Is one or the other preferred? Directions say both attempt to preserve installed programs, but not all drivers, and both require reinstalling all the 60 or so windows updates released after my disk. so no differences there.

I've tried everything I can think of. Even installed Veoh. But kept getting the message, even after Veoh was installed. Then I removed Veoh using uninstall in Control Panel and I still get the message every time I start up.
I have a seagate FreeAgent Desk that i partitioned a 50GB partition and formatted it to HFSj for my mac. Now when i try to delete it under disk managment, it doesnt work. It says
The I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request. What does that mean and why cant i partition it back to the 1.5 TB (Delete the partition)
Also iv tried EASEUS Partition Master, that wouldn't work either. It would say it worked, but when its done, it doesnt say unallocated, it says Other for the file system.
I have a desktop(Chuckles) which has 2 external drives connec6ted by ussb ports 2.0. The weekly backup is copied to my W.D. my book 500gig drive with absolutely no problems. This is an old HP Pravillion 600mg memory and 250gig segate internal H.D.
My second machine is an IBM t42 laptop 40 gig hd and running Windows 7 ultimate build 7100. The backup goes to linksys router(wired and wireless) from the router to desktop(chuckles) and to USB port to Seagate external drive 160gig.
Partway through the backup the backup fails. error network connection aborted by the local system(Chuckles) Backup Failedn error code 0x80070404.
I have tried this laptop backup three times. All drives shared and goup name same on both machines.
What is going on?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI had a perfectly working 250GB SATA HDD that I tried to clone to a 1 TB SATA HDD. I used EASEUS's free disk copy software. The clone said it would tas the one being cloned and not written to. The cloned drive had the data on it, but it was just corrupted because the clone never finished. I tried to get into recovery console from the Windows 7 CD, and it kept sayike about an hour and 20 minutes, and I read that it would be quicker, as all the free space would not need to clone over sector by sector. I aborted so that I could use different software that would quick clone. Anyway, afterwards, neither HDD would boot. The source drive should boot, as all it wang it was the wrong version. Basically the program screwed up both my hard drives.
Finally, I was able to get into a UEFI recovery console that allowed me to see that the cloning program somehow changed my partitions into GPT. The source hard drive is all intact, and I'm pretty sure the only thing that is screwed up is the partition types and perhaps the boot record. Is there a way I can edit the partitions to make them back to normal and bootable again?

In summary, Windows Explorer regularly crashes - when I say regularly, I mean every time i access windows explorer.

I want to do a start up repair but only have a upgrade disk. When I try to do the start up repair and pick the OS on the hard drive it comes up with a error saying the os is not compatible even tho the upgrade was done from this disk. Can I do a start up repair or clean install without losing any software or personal files?This computer has no back up's.My reason for wanting to do a start up repair is yesterday when I woke up my computer from sleep mode the hard drive kept and is always accessing but the CPU was not really doing much so I had to wait and wait and waitIt will say a software is not responding then after a long wait time the file will open or a program will respond.To just open folder takes 5 min, open files 5+. re starting or starting from the off position takes about 15 min

View 2 Replies View RelatedSo I swapped mobo's and ran into some problems so I did a repair install to resolve them. After the Repair Install, Windows deactivated and is asking for my key again. Unfortunately I do not have my key and I am unsure whether I will be able to find it again (having moved around a few times, I am unsure if I even have the install disks). After swapping mobo's Windows did NOT deactivate, everything was fine activation wise after the swap. I don't suppose there is any way to recover my key, is there?Right now, I've noticed that a new folder was created during the upgrade called $WINDOWS.~Q that seems to have my old registry in there, so I am thinking of trying to back up my current (new) registry and replacing it's files with the ones in that folder and running Belarc to see if it picks up the key then and then putting my new registry back.deas other than this?[CODE]
View 3 Replies View RelatedWith XP I used to boot from the CD, and tell windows to 'upgrade' the existing broken / unbootable version of windows already installded on the system.I have a similar case now with a widows 7 install, and if I boot from the DVD and then tell it to do an upgrade install it tells me that I need to boot into windows and then run setup. Well, I can't boot to windows... I tried all the 'repair start-up' options to see if that would fix it, and it hasn't so I need to do an install to replace what's gone or broken or whatever, but it only wants to let me do a full clean install.

View 12 Replies View RelatedSo my 64bit fujitsu lifebook laptop has run into some crazy problems the last few days. Including freezing every several minutes for ages. BSOD a few times a day. Nothing along the taskbar opening. Task Manager making the whole screen turn black etc.I researched alot and tried many things, including chkdsk which just takes to long for it to be realistic (i judge it would take about 1 week to finish)That being said, i want to do a repair install of windows 7, but when i use my universal disc (which has 32bit and 64bit windows 7 on it) it returns the error after the compatibility check:
- You can't upgrade 64-bit Windows to a 32-bit version of Windows. To upgrade, obtain a 64-bit version of the installation disc, or go online to see how to install Windows 7 and keep your files and settings.
- 32-bit Windows cannot be upgraded to a 64-bit version of Windows. To upgrade, obtain a 32-bit version of the Windows installation disc. is there a workaround for this? I know people can make a universal disc easily, so maybe there is a way to do this in reverse
Randomly, my computer is no longer able to boot from my OCZ Agility 3 SSD. By randomly, I mean it was working just fine this morning, but no longer. I can't remember if I changed or updated anything.
Well I then went and inserted the Windows 7 repair disk. A list pops up saying to select my OS, but nothing is listed. I selected load drivers, and I'm able to navigate to the ssd successfully and view all of the files. I even plugged it in to the computer I am using now and was able to back up the more important documents in case I will need to do a reinstall. (I would rather not though).The repair utility doesn't fix the problem, and I navigated this forum and many others trying to find similar problems to mine.

I do have two other hard drives on the system that I use for general programs and another for raw video storage.They are disconnected now, so I don't see how they would affect the problem.
It's my daughter's computer. A little e-Machine, 250G HD, Windows 7 32-bit on it. Out of nowhere her computer wouldn't boot up. I can get it to try to boot using the Windows disk, it gets so far, and then the repair fails saying:
The file or directory C:/Boot is corrupt and unreadable. Please run chkdsk utility.
I try to re-install. she had backed up everything on my external just days before. It gets near the end, and then the same error comes up. I cannot get into anything else. Nothing else will load. I don't even know how I can run chkdsk. Unfortunately the computer is about three years old and she can't remember the specifics except there is only one HD in it. She had no internet at her place so it's not because she suddenly installed something. She was using it to watch movies and listen to music mostly. I'm at wits' end, can't figure it out.
I have a 5 yr/old HP laptop (an upgraded zv6130us) with win 7 pro x86 and Microsoft Security Essentials. Somehow got a ie google redirect virus. Used malwarebytes to clean it and other trojan malware off. It no longer redirects, but it was buggy. It no longer recognized any usb devices & niether command prompt nor ctrl-alt-delete worked.So I begin to try to repair it. I power it off, unplug the battery etc - nope. I reinstall the chipset drivers - nope. No restore points available. I pop in the win 7 disc and select repair your computer then use command prompt. Can't run sfc /scannow (recieved a message to reboot), chkdsk was normal, startup repair can't repair anything.So I then try a repair install. It is successful, but upon first boot I recieve a message indicating NET framework version 4 was damaged, and setup was repairing it. Minutes and a reboot later, I launch the OS.
1. my desktop background is gone unlike the other repair installs I've ever done
2. usb devices are still not recognized: "unknown device"
3. command prompt still does not open
4. ctrl-alt-delete also still doesn't work
I wanted to keep my programs, data and settings. I will not trust MSE anymore for anyone.
How to Do a Repair Install to Fix Windows 7 ?
View 0 Replies View RelatedIt was simple in XP,I assumed it would be with 7..So, I assumed I could boot from the Win7 disk, and either have a repair install option, or start the install and have it say, "Hey, you already have win7. Would you like to repair it?"Nope. And from what I read it looks like you have to be able to boot into Windows to do a repair, which makes no sense to me.right now, I just replaced my AMD Athlon 64 X2 with a Core i5 2500k, and of course, windows won't load. But now I can't get a repair install to run!.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a Sony Vaio VGN-NW270F 15" laptop with Windows 7 (64 bit) Home Premium. 320 gb. Oh i'm also out of warranty.Computer always freezes at the point where it says "starting windows" and stays frozen. I even left it for alone for 24 hrs and it stayed on that screen.
Things I've tried:
1. I used safe mode to repair windows = just restarted in normal mode and froze at "windows is starting"
2. Used safe mode to restore to earlier point = could not to restore message
3. Created repair disc from another Vaio win 64 = froze at "windows is starting"
4. Used registry clean and malware bytes in safe mode = malware bytes found nothing & reg clean did nothing
5. Fresh install of windows 7 = windows bar loaded then froze at "windows is starting"
6. Reformatted hard drive & performed fresh install = windows bar loaded 7 froze at same point
7. Bought new Western digital 320 gb SATA Hard drive & tried install of win 7= same results

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy attempt to do a Repair Install of an Upgrade to Home Premium from Professional freezes at an indicated 72% completion of the Transferring Files, Settings, and Programs section. That figure is misleading because it actually stops at 99.9729+% with only 77 items left to transfer. I have ran the install program many times and each time it freezes at 77 items left. Even though the number of files to be transferred changes each time, the freeze occurs at 77 left to go. I have been looking through the forum and reading the sticky threads above searching for answers. One of the suggestions is to check the memory. So I downloaded IsoRecorder and Memtest86+ and burn to a CD. Boot the computer with the CD and don't get a screen with all the information as shown in the various Memtest86+ screen shots. After two hours of waiting it is apparent that this is not working. Maybe a bad download, maybe a bad burn? Oh, well. I next get an openSUSE distro disk that has a memory test on it. Again it is Memtest86+ and again the same incomplete screen. Memtest86+ does not like my laptop, processor, chip set or something. So I run the Windows 7 Memory Diagnostics test. First ran the standard test for 10 passes. No problems found. Then I ran the extended test for 10 passes and still no problems.
Then on my list to try before the next install attempt was to chkdsk and to defrag the HDD. The computer is set to do a defrag weekly but it has been a few days since the last one and you never know. Now to run the install and again it freezes with 77 to go. It is becoming tempting t wipe the HDD and make the laptop a dedicated Linux machine but I hate surrender. Some threads mention the possibility of problems reading the Windows 7 install disk and suggest copying it to another DVD or USB stick. Sounds like it may be worth a try. But before this can happen a friend offers the use of his install disk. I accepted and it worked. I now have Home Premium back on this computer. The nice, sparkly DVD I bought from Amazon for this project evidently has a bad bit on it from Microsoft that is corrupting a file and thus blocking the install. I don't know if copying the DVD to another media would of worked in this case but the suggestion triggered the acceptance of the possibility of a problem with the official DVD and the try with another Microsoft DVD that worked.
I have done severs 'Repair Installs' under Windows XP. Usually because of changing a mother board. I have seen several suggestions in this forum to others advising them to do a 'Repair Install' of Windows 7 to correct a problem. I didn't want to hijack the threads to ask exactly how you do that so I will start a new thread to find out how to do it. I have booted the RC CD several times to see if I could find a way but the closest I can come is to find a item to repair a problem that prevents your computer from starting or something like that. As I understand it, that option has more to do with solving boot manager problems that actually repairing any problem Windows 7 files.

I have a Dell laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium on it. Recently I shut it down incorrectly and now windows is all screwed up.

Then the computer shut down and when it restartrd started to load files and then go into startup repair, only it couldn't fix it. I tried a restore, but again it said that the startup files wern't there. I just quickly scanned the diagnostic details and noticed something that said "boot critical file C:CI.dll is corrupt".
