Dual Boot 7 And XP Uninstall Of XP

Nov 15, 2009

I browsed several threads and tutorials here, most talk of partitions and such. My situation is this: XP Pro SP3 is installed on C. Drive D is storage. Win 7 is installed on G.

When I boot first I get the Win 7 or earlier version option. If I choose earlier version, I get a second screen asking me to choose between two versions of XP Pro. Not sure what this means, I always choose the first option.

Bottom line is I want to uninstall XP and go with 7. Can I do this safely since XP is installed on C? How do I do this?

How To Uninstall An OS On A Dual Boot Machine ?

Dec 28, 2009

Ok, so I've read the tutorial on how to dual boot Windows 7 with XP (Dual Boot Installation with Windows 7 and XP)

I have Windows 7 64bit currently installed and need to dual boot with XP 32b. My question is, once I have successfully dual-booted my machine (and did what I need to do), how do I completely uninstall XP? Can I merge the two partitions back into one primary without affecting my Windows 7? I basically want my machine back the way it was before I dual-booted XP (without formatting and starting over). This possible?

Boot Menu Doesn't Show Up - XP And Win7 Dual Boot

Oct 30, 2009

I have XP (x86) installed on one partition.

Last night I installed Windows 7 (x64) on a separate partition.

Anytime I had tried this in the past, using Vista, it always detected the Windows XP partition, and gave me a boot menu with "Earlier Version of Windows" option to boot to.

This is not so with Windows 7.

How can I get the boot menu to show both options, to boot to XP or to Windows 7?

Windows 7 Doesn't Boot, With Or Without Cd?

Jan 5, 2012

We have a Lenovo T61 laptop and have installed Windows 7 professional edition on it few months ago. From past week or so, the system tends to not go beyond a blank screen after turning the power button on. I've tried pressing F8 and also boot up using W7 disk, but nothing works. Its a blank screen, however, the system lights like power, bluetooth, keypad lights do turn on. I am posting the question from a different computer now.

Windows 7 DVD Doesn't Boot Neither Does USB

Sep 30, 2012

I'm not able to install windows 7. Been trying to install this since past 1 week. The methods I've tried are:

1. I have a windows 7 bootable DVD which doesn't boot up. (I've set BIOS to boot from DVD ROM first but it just won't boot from the DVD). Tried to install Windows 7 from the same DVD to a friend's PC and it worked. So the DVD has no issues.
2. I tried to run 'Setup.exe' from within the DVD. The two options pop-up 'Check compatibility' and 'Install now'. On clicking install now, after sometime, an error is encountered with the message 'Windows was unable to create a required installation folder' error code:0x8007000D.

I am running Windows XP Professional and there's only one user on the PC which is the Admin, so I do not know why is the setup not getting permissions. I've also uninstalled my antivirus, CD burning software, disabled firewall and disconnected all other devices, but its still the same.

3. I tried to install it from a USB device by making it bootable but that too doesn't work. (Yes the mobo supports booting from the USB).

The problem is that XP does not recognize a 'USB' device on boot. Rather it shows this USB stick as a removable 'Hard Drive'. Furthermore, i changed the order of Hard Drive boot to boot from this removable Hard Drive first, it still boots my existing OS. I want to dual boot windows 7 with my existing XP, but that would be after I manage to run the windows 7 setup in the first place.

Windows 7 X64 Dvd Doesn't Boot Up

Nov 27, 2009

I recently purchased a copy of x64 Windows 7 Business. I downloaded it from the Online store DigitalRiver as part of the students deal.

Here is my system information:

Current operating system: Windows Vista x32 Business

Processor: Intel Quad Core 2 Q6600 2.4 GHz

Memory: 4GB PC5400 DDR2 667MHz

Motherboard: Intel 975XBX2 KR Socket 775

BIOS version: 2838 (Latest)

I burned the x64 Windows 7 installation files onto a DVD. I am aware that it is not going to run from my current OS since it is x32.

My Boot order is the following: DVD/CD ROM -> HDD

I tried to boot with the x64 Windows 7 DVD but it simply didn't. So I decided to format my computer using the x32 Vista DVD.

After the format, I tried to boot with the x64 Windows 7 DVD and it failed again.

So I re-installed x32 Vista and I still cannot boot with the x64 Windows 7 DVD.

Windows 7 Cd Doesn't Boot Properly

Jul 3, 2011

The windows7 cd doesn't boots properly, i mean the first process of windows loading files is good and then starting windows, but then its just the backgroung of windows7 and no installation window pops up.I burned the image using ultra iso at 4x speed.I had a different CD and used that too but same prob appers again.But the problem doesn't ends there, now when i thought to install other cdburning software i get this "Windows cannot access the specified device,path, or file. You may not have appropriate permission to access the item."and its not that, anything i try to install, gives me this problem.Have this problem occured due to previous failure attempts to install windows7,although tecnically the installation never started.

Windows 7 Doesn't Boot When In Raid 0

Jun 14, 2012

I just recently purchased a SSD (OCZ Vertex 3 60GB). I wanted to use it for Intel RST with my 500GB HDD. I went into BIOS and changed to RAID and i installed my OS. Everything was fine so I installed all the important drivers and reset. When it booted up again the RST sign came up and i accelerated my drive. Then when i reset my system it says "BOOTMGR is missing". So i poped in my windows recovery disk to try and fix it but the windows doesnt detect my drives.

MOBO: GIGABYTE Z68X-UD3H-B3 REV 1.3 SOmetimes when i switch to AHCI then it will boot

Windows 7 Boot-up Process Doesn't Complete?

Windows 7 has suddenly started freezing in the boot-up process. The system hangs when it comes to starting two weather-related services - didn't used to be that way. When the weather services don't load, nothing else - IE, MS Outlook - can be started - they hang as well.

Windows 7 Installs & Completes The Setup Very Well But Doesn't Boot?

Sep 8, 2010

I had Intel DG31PR motherboard and I recently changed it to a Intel DG41RG board. I intalled Windows 7 and it worked very well with DG31PR but when I try to intall it with DG41RQ the setup completes successfully(it boots itself from hard disk during installation several times without any problem) and when Windows 7 tries to boot itself for the first time it fails. After loading BIOS I get a blank screen. It happens with both x64 & x32 but other windows such as XP and Vista works fine. I tried my copy of Windows 7 with several other computers including one having Core i3,DH55TC and windows 7 installs and works in them very well. I tried 2 genuine DG41RQ motherbords but the problems persists

Windows Doesn't Boot After Removing Slave Drive?

Sep 9, 2011

I installed a new hard drive, and then installed windows to that new hard drive with the old one still connected and I now the two drives are somehow, linked so that if I remove the old drive, windows doesn't boot. When I reconnect the drive, windows boots up fine. I checked the boot priorities in the bios and its all as it should be.

I tried the windows repair disk, used the top option three times (as I've seen recommended on other forums), to no avail. I've tried the other options but the problem is, the windows installation is not detected, same with restore points, nothing works.

I think there's something to do with the Disk Management utility. I have the two disks, disk0 and disk1, disk1 is the disk I want to remove.

this is what the page looks like:

disk0 (boot, page file, crash dump, primary partition) disk1 (system, active, primary partition) + (8mb unallocated)

It seems the System-(thing?) is on disk1 so when i remove the drive, the computer doesnt boot. Makes sense. What doesnt make sense is that windows ISNT installed on that disk so why the hell is "system" on there and causing trouble??

Would making the partition on disk0 active solve my problem? I dont want to click on anything and break it so I ask here.

Windows 7 Won't Boot, Startup Repair Doesn't Work

Sep 21, 2012

I've had an ongoing war with my PC for four days now. I have Windows 7 and it refuses to start up. Originally I tried starting up normal, it gave me two choices: system repair or start as normal. If I chose normal it would show the windows logo then reset. If I chose repair it would turn black for several minutes, then go to a blue screen for several minutes and wouldn't move past that. So i tried to boot from CD. I have the option of installing windows or repair. I chose repair, once again it goes to the blue screen and nothing happens (and I've left it on this blue screen a good 15 min mind you.) Finally I submitted and decided to just re-install windows. it goes to the starting setup... and sits there indefinably.

Windows 7 Won't Boot - Startup Repair Doesn't Load Either

Dec 2, 2012

I tried turning on my computer today and it gets stuck at the "Starting Windows" logo. It just hangs there indefinitely (usually only takes a couple seconds) and doesn't load. I then tried startup repair, and that just takes me to a black screen. After that, I tried putting in my Windows 7 boot disc to do a clean install, told the BIOS to boot to CD/DVD drive. It tells me to press a key, I do. I get "Windows is loading files" and then it goes back to "Starting Windows" forever, yet again. This happened so suddenly, it was working fine just hours before this.

Windows 7 Boot Manager Default Entry Doesn't Work

May 30, 2012

When I start up Windows, I have two options, "Windows 7" and "Windows 7 Home Premium (Recovered)", and only the second one works. This is annoying because it defaults to the first entry.Some background info: I added a second hard drive to my laptop, and I used an Ubuntu install disc to move Windows 7 to the second hard drive and install Ubuntu to the first (larger) hard drive. When I start up my computer, the Grub boot loader gives me an option between Ubuntu Linux and Windows 7.When I first tried to boot into Windows, it had problems (caused by finding itself on a new drive I assume) and attempted to do startup repair which didn't change anything. It had detected a Windows 7 installed on drive "E", attempted repair, but on reboot I got to the same place. Next I used the Windows 7 Repair disc that I had burned earlier, which appeared to do the exact same process of attempting startup repair, however this time when I rebooted I got the option between "Windows 7" and "Windows 7 Home Premium (Recovered)". The first option causes it to do what it did before, and the second option gets me into Windows 7 fine. Windows still sees its hard drive as "C" which is good.While looking for solutions to this, I found the bcdedit utility. I attempted to rename "Windows 7 Home Premium (Recovered)" to just "Windows 7 Home Premium" to test whether it changed anything, but when I boot up I still get "Windows 7" and "Windows 7 Home Premium (Recovered)". I don't even know where the "Windows 7" entry comes from.

Here's the output of `bcdedit /v`:

Code: Windows Boot Manager
--------------------
identifier {9dea862c-5cdd-4e70-acc1-f32b344d4795}
device partition=C:
path ootmgr
description Windows Boot Manager

default {74e62c05-aa3f-11e1-90f0-e412b6135969}

Doesn't Boot Into Safemode

Mar 14, 2011

My laptop does not seem to boot into safe mode. I've been tapping F8, even though it says F8...system restore on the bottom left corner, it still won't boot. I tried this other method on advance recovery method and chose use system image created earlier - that and return to factory condition gave me an error saying "windows cannot restart the computer into the windows recovery environment." One method I haven't tried is using msconfig - in boot option. I'm worried about using this method..What if when I restart my laptop and it keeps loading to safe mode. I just did an sfc scan.I forgot what it said. It did found some corrupted files, and it repaired it. The reason why I want to use safe mode is to use this recovery disc - I notice that when I turn on my laptop, it takes quite a while to boot up. As a result, I also found that I have a problem with creating an system image. I want to use this repair disc, but I can't go into safe mode, so I can choose repair your computer.

Computer Doesn't Want To Boot

Dec 13, 2012

The other day I went to restart my computer, on restart it showed the motherboard info for longer than usual maybe 10-20 secs then proceeded to boot windows. About 2-3 days later I was doing a few things, computer froze so I manually had to shut off and turn back on the computer and it would show the motherboard information and not do anything from there just sit there. Tried to boot again maybe 3 times and nothing changed. Everything powered up fine ect ect. Took the case off looked at a few things, everything looked fine. Turned it back on and it booted right away like normal. Didn't have the keyboard plugged in so I had to restart again and was going to anyways to see what it would do and it booted just fine again.

PC Doesn't Boot After Too Much Overclocking

Sep 8, 2012

I love games, but what i mostly love about them is their beauty, the graphics and that realistic crap, But if i Play games like Skyrim or L.A. Noire, i get Lag, (Only on Highest Settings)

Heres some of my specs:

Dual GeForce GTS 450s I also have SLI for the 2 cards (are there very expensive SLI bridges that can boost my performance?) 16GBs of Ram (4x8gb) Asus Rampage IV Extreme Motherboard Intel i7 CPU 3.6GHz And 2 Shitty Hard Drives (1 around 350gb and 2nd around 120gb) I have about a 900Watt powersupply that handles crap fine, The Hard drives are both old and slow, im not sure if they are bringing my performance down

So one day, i decided to do some overclocking, i started up the BIOS and i overclocked shit to the max, but then i clicked save and exit and my PC was basicly like this:

I push power button: PC turns on for 20 secs, then turns off i wait about 4 secs and PC starts again, i wait another 15-20 secs and PC turns off again, i wait and nothing happens, The if i push power button again it all repeats,

Basicly after Overclocking my PC doesn't Start, My problem isn't the PC not starting because i can fix that with a awesome reset button on my motherboard,

What i want is to be able to do Overclocking without having my PC restart itself and not manage to stay on for half a minute

NOTE: I reset my motherboard and went into BIOS again, and i had everything on default which works fine, and then i set a few things higher, nothing much, just things that would add a very small amount to my FPS, but still the PC decides not to work!

NOTE: I still had this problem back when i had a single graphics card and about 4gbs of ram,

Computer Doesn't Boot Right

Jul 30, 2011

I've got a Dell Insprion 1470 and it never worked right (I would return it for a new one but first Freak Squad has to "fix" it).When booting it will sometimes freeze at the windows logo, just go black, go into start up repair, go into safe mode, all kinds of stuff.I have ran many tests/programs and they all say nothing is wrong.

-sfc /scannow
-chkdisk
-start up repair
-memory test/diagnostics

I've updated BIOS and all drivers, Ive defragged and ran CCleaner.I ran the full system scan in Dell Support Center.
