GRUB4DOS Installing Windows 7 ISO?

Dec 5, 2011

So I have Grub4Dos running pretty well after I used the diskpart, Grub4dos, Acronis TI ISO root to re-image vmdk files. What I want to do is boot directly from a Windows 7 ISO I have created from MagicISO. Grub4Dos is working for Acronis but I want to be able to put on the OS ISO's so that I don't need to carry around disks.Currently I have a 500gb drive with my Windows 7 iso and I have tried tampering with the Menu.lst file to get it to find the ISO on my NTFS partition but I am getting all sorts of error codes the more I mess with the scripts. I have seen some howto's listed on this website but they don't work (for me that is)

Booting Up Windows 7 From Grub4DOS?

Mar 14, 2011

I have windows 7 Proffesional inatalled on my computer, but when i start the computer up and press F8 it goes into advance system menu, from there i can see all these options for safe mode etc. But when i click on any of them it shows only system recovery console to boot up from and not windows 7! If i leave my computer alone and start it up without hitting F8 it keeps booting up System Recovery Console...

I also have Grub4DOS installed when i access this menu by also pressing F8, it shows that widows 7 is installed, when i try to boot it up from Grub4DOS it still takes me system recovery console.. I know that this windows 7 is installed correctly as i used to be able to boot it up from Grub4DOS...So Basically when i hit the f8 key which allows me to get into advance system settings, and click on anything like safemode there is no option to boot from win 7 but there is only System recovery console, if i click on boot normally it goes into system recovery console. However if i load up grub4DOS there is an option to boot up win 7 but still it does not boot it up..but instead boots up the System recover console.And i use to be able to boot it up from Grub4DOS untill i clicked on boot windows normally in advance system settings.

Windows 7 SP1 Not Installing?

May 13, 2012

I would like to ask for forum members diagnosis before I go spend hours working on the laptop for hours. The security software on the laptop will not work because Windows 7 SP1 has not been installed on the laptop. I can't seem to download SP1 from Microsoft. The local office of Geek Squad diagnosed the problem being that there is a problem with Windows 7 and it will need to be re-installed. I would like to see if forum members agree or have a different diagnosis. Its going to take me quite a while to re-install windows 7 and I would like to get a second opinion before I devote that sort of time.

Installing Windows 7 On A Second HDD?

Nov 26, 2011

I was thinking of buying windows 7 and a new HDD for myself for xmas and I wanted to install 7 on the new HDD. I currently have XP installed on my HDD at home and I was wondering if it were possible to install 7 on the new hard drive I buy and still have access to the files and programs on the other drive? Will the other programs be able to run from another hard drive or will they NEED to be installed on the new one?

Installing Windows 7 Via USB?

Apr 10, 2010

I have formatted and copied windows 7 to my 4GB USB key and I have installed a new HDD into my Dell Optiplex 745. When I boot up the computer I am notified with:PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cablePXE-M0F: Existing Broadcom PXE ROMI have searched and found out that this can be caused by a bad hdd but this can't be the case seeing that I literally opened it new from it's packaging and instantly installed it. Also I heard that in order to install via USB you need to place USB to #1 in boot sequence. I have tried this but when I do this all I get is a screen with a flashing underscore at the top of the screen and I can't do anything. So I changed my boot sequence back to the way it was:1. Onboard or USB Floppy Drive (not present)2. Onboard or USB CD-ROM Drive3. Onboard SATA Hard Drive4. Onboard Network Controller5. USB DeviceI have no backup disk and I have no access to a Windows 7 DVD, all I have is it on USB.

Windows 7 Not Installing(As Well As XP)?

Jun 26, 2010

I just bought my new machine and put it all together.I've got a fair amount of experience when it comes to building and troubleshooting.I bought a brand spanking new copy of Windows 7 Professional and it won't install.I pop the CD in my drive(The 64 bit Windows 7), I get the error stating that I have an I/O error with one of my components.When I put the 32 bit CD in- it states that Bootmgr cannot be started or is corrupt.

I grabbed a HDD out from another computer that is running on XP and plugged into my new PC. It loads to the WinXP screen, then a quick blue screen of death and resets. New PC Specs are as follows:

Asus M4A79T Deluxe Mobo
4 Gigs of G-Skill RAM
AMD Phenom 2 x4 Quad Core
80 Gig WD HDD(Sata)
Lite-On DvD Burner/Reader(Sata)

Re-installing Windows 7 OS?

Jul 24, 2012

recently had to re-install Win7 on my 2009 Acer Aspire 5738Z. The laptop originally came with Vista. I had the hard drive partitioned in half. D: is running Vista. I didn't want to nuke it in case of an emergency. That was a good call because Win7 went bad. C: now runs fresh install of Win 7 64x Pro. I bring up the fact about Vista so you know this was not a native Win7 machine. After the OS re-install & a million window updates & reboots later I was left with some questions.-I have just some basic programs installed so far. My work Outlook (several gigs), office 2010, firefox, chrome, skype, teamviewer, iTunes (fresh install no music). I looked in C: in Computers & I'm using 59G of a 100 G HDD! Does that sound normal? I think I saw right after the Win7 install & all updates it was just over 40G used! Should Win7 & all needed updates amount to 40-50+ G of space? If not what have I done wrong?

-So far the system seems to be running fine. I'm just not sure if i have all the needed drivers for my laptop. I've noticed when I use the volume buttons no icon displays on the screen. It always showed up in Vista & the old Win7. That make me think I might be missing some drivers after the re-install. How can I find out if I have all the needed & up to date drivers?

Installing Windows 7 On New SSD

Dec 28, 2010

I've given in and bought a 80GB SSD. At the moment I have a 1TB HDD in 3 partitions.

52.6GB 'C' 0 6.75GB free
727GB 'D'
151GB 'E'
D and E have plenty of space on them.
To install windows on the new SSD lets call it 'F'.

I need to unplug the 1TB HDD, plug in the SSD and load from CD (I know how to install windows) Just install it, won't bother with partitions on it. I will now plug in the 1TB. Once installed I have to do all the driver updates (I'm sure I'll miss a few out somehow). Then programs etc and good to go.

What can I do with the 'C' drive on the 1TB? Should I just delete the partition? I only use up 45.85GB so far on my C drive, so should have 34GB to play around with.. maybe put like WoW on there which is 23GB I think. Then leave the rest free?

Installing OEM Windows 7 On A New PC?

Dec 16, 2012

A couple of years ago I got a laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium preinstalled, now I am looking for a new laptop it since windows 8 just came out many of the new laptops are lacking it. So I was wondering if there was away to get a genuine copy of Windows 7 onto a brand new laptop, without having to buy another copy of it from Amazon or somewhere. If I wiped the drive in the old laptop and then either clean install Windows 7 on the new laptop or use windows system image to transfer it to the new one.Would either of these methods leave me with a genuine copy of 7? Or of I do get a new laptop with Windows 8 am I stuck with it?

Installing Windows 7 On A New PC?

Jan 14, 2013

I've recently ordered a new PC - it doesn't come with an O/S so I'm going with Windows 7 Home Premium (I'm comfortable with it and I'm very unsure about Windows 8). Have a couple of questions I'd be grateful for assistance with:

1. I've seen Windows 7 Home Premium and Windows Home Premium Family Pack advertised. Are they the same and if not what's the difference?

2. I know my current system is 64 bit and aware that there's a 32 bit. What factor determines which one you use (i.e. do I choose or is this chosen my the set-up of the PC)?

Windows 7 Installing On D: Rather Than C:

Dec 1, 2012

My Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop's hard drive recently crashed. I have ordered a new 320GM hard drive and installed it, and I am trying to get Windows 7 Ultimate installed. After the initial installation, I saw that the video card was not getting the proper driver, so I downloaded what seemed to be the right one, and the problem that I am having is this: After Windows finishes installing and I log in for the first time, any updates or changes I make cause the "Startup Repair" Window appears, saying it will try to fix problems. It then either says the problems are fixed or can't be fixed, tells me to click "Finish" to shut down the computer, and no matter if the problem was fixed or not, the "Startup Repair" comes up automatically again. It i like I am in an endless loop. Also, it seems for some reason that Windows was installed in the D: partition, rather than on C: drive, even though I told the software to install it in the one large partition that was visible when installation began. The bottom line is, I seem to get Windows 7 installed fine, but as soon as I run Windows Update or try to install updated drivers, it ends up in this "Startup Repair" loop.

Re-installing Windows 7 To SSD?

Jun 21, 2011

Well it's summer time again and that means it's time to format the old computer again

I got an SSD last summer and I'm happy with it but I was wondering if it's possible to install Windows to the SSD (C and use my HDD (B: drive) as the default folder for files and such?

Also, I have a good few programs installed on the B: drive, will they be affected if I format the SSD? Btw, the SSD is a 60GB drive, the HDD is a 1TB.
