Old Window XP Not In Bootloader After New Win 7

Aug 30, 2009

k, so a few months ago i installed Windows 7 RC and windows XP in a dual-boot different partition.

2 days ago i formated my win 7 RC installation and installed Windows 7 7600, of-course after a while i realized win xp is no longer in my boot0-load anymore and i have no idea how to use EasyBCD in 7 to make xp come back, if there is a way. And i don't want to reinstall XP, that would be to easy same time i would have to reinstall a lot of programs again .

So, anyone have any idea how to repair this mess ?

Bootloader Question - Partitioned HDD

Nov 22, 2009

i currently have a hdd with vista and Windows 7 on it

vista was on it originally and i shrunk this partition to allow me to put 7 on

my question is, when i come to delete vista, will the computer boot straight into Windows 7?

does Windows 7 have its own bootloader or do i need to do some sort of transfer?

Blank Screen After Bootloader

Dec 14, 2009

have a Dell Inspirion 1525 with Windows 7 RC dual booting with MacOS 10.5.8 on two separate partitions on one 160GB drive.

Windows 7 has been running great since installing on release day, this morning after i turned my laptop on, i got to the Windows bootloader, selected Windows 7, it then goes to a blank screen with the hard drive light constantly on. left it for about 10 minutes, nothing.

my MacOS install on the second partition still works 100%.

i tried a few things, startup repair from the Win 7 install DVD, it sees my Win 7 install on C: but gave an error saying it couldn't fix, the error report mentioned something about "startuprepairoffline" & "NoOSinstalled".

then tried a system restore from the disk, says it couldn't find any restore points (?!)

then tried to fix the mbr via recovery console, says it did the fix, but still won't boot.

Win 7 Bootloader - Multiple Drives

Dec 10, 2009

My work laptop that has pointsec (disk encryption) on it, which is the first thing that loads.

If I was to install Windows 7 onto a external usb HD, would it overwrite the bootloader on the internal laptop HD?

Should I go into the Bios and try to disable the internal drive (not sure i can get to the bios)?

Dual Booting Bootloader Recovery Issue

Dec 28, 2009

I installed Windows 7 over Vista yesterday (fresh install). I had to first recover the MBR which was annoying (I would've thought it would do this itself), but anyway..

Windows 7 started just fine.

However, when re-recovered the bootloader from Linux, and when I now try to boot into Windows, it goes straight to Windows system recovery. Any ideas how to stop this?

Clearly it's booting to the right partition in the right way (as it's going to windows), but Windows 7 seems to just not want to boot into normal mode. What should I do?

BootLoader Missing - Version Not Compatible On Windows Repair DVD

Nov 9, 2011

Boot loader is missing from HD. I entered the windows repair from dvd, and it finally showed the windows installation, C:Windows (recovered). Tried selecting it again to have windows reinstall MBR, but now it says version is not compatible. So, needless to say, I can't proceed any further. The only thing I can figure is the the windows dvd is both x86 and x64, thereby not recognizing that I have the x64 installed.

How To Remove Grub And Get Windows 7 Bootloader Back (Uninstalling Linux)

Jan 12, 2010

I originally had windows 7 professional 64 bit on my laptop. I had a 10 Gb partition, which I divided in SWAP and / mount to install Ubuntu Linux. My computer now loads into Grub loader. All is well, its just now I want to get rid of Linux. (I will install it on desktop and mess around with it there.) I wanted to know how to get rid of the Grub loader.

I googled it and found that you can restore the windows (didn't find anything for windows 7) bootloader using the installation disk and going into repair. The instructions however were all for windows xp and few for vista. I want to know if it will work for Windows 7. I don't have a windows 7 DVD. I have a Windows 7 professional upgrade disk 64 bit. My Vista came pre loaded on the laptop, and i have recovery disks for it. Will I be able to do it from the Windows 7 upgrade disk.

Boot Issues Move Bootloader From Corrupt Vista On Primary HD

Aug 29, 2009

Here's my setup:

Corrupt Vista install on Primary HD

Win 7 (and soon to be Linux and maybe XP) on a second.

I want to be able to take out the primary hd to move it to a NAS unit and just have the second hd in. Problem is, the current bootloader is on the Vista drive. I need to know if there is a way to move this to the Win 7 HD without having to reinstall Win 7 at this time, though I know I will have to when it is released.

Adding 'open In New Window' To Search Results, & Opening In New Window?

Mouse Opens A Window, However Cannot Click Inside The Window

Aug 22, 2012

I am running into an issue where I can open a window/program with my mouse however once the window is open I cannot click inside of it. The window becomes inactive. I also have noticed I cannot right click on my desktop to bring up the properties. I can right click on the window in the task bar to close it but not in the window. Since this is happening I am limited to command prompt. I ran sfc /scannow with no errors. I tried with 3 different mice. I booted the computer into safe mode with command prompt and brought up the device manager to show devices not in use, and when the device manager window opened I could click inside it! since I could use the window I uninstalled all mouse drivers, and reinstalled my microsoft wireless usb mouse driver.. while in this safe mode I changed my mouse properties to system default as I read somewhere that can reset things. Next I booted the computer in safe mode (without command prompt) and still the same thing. I was trying to do a restore point as well however my Kaspersky antivirus 2012 is preventing that as i cannot find a way to kill the program through command prompt.

IE Window Won't Allow Input

Oct 4, 2011

We're running an Oracle application that requires the jinitiator 1.3.1.22 on the client pc. Prior to Windows7 we only had a problem that required replacing the jvm.dll file within the Jinitiator installation folder. With Windows7 64bit and/or 32bit, we're seeing where some clients can open IE9 and get the popup logon screen as expected but nothing you type will show in the logon area until you click outside of the window and then come back to it. We've noticed that unless the cursor is blinking in the logon window it will not display anything that is typed (unless you click outside the window and come back to it). However, some users can use the 32bit IE and never have a problem. Sometimes you'll get a message that Windows is changing the basic theme.

What Is MSDNAA Window 7

Mar 13, 2011

I recently purchased a Linksys AE1000 Wireless USB adapter and attempted to install it in my Windows 7 Pro 64-bit system with no luck. Message stated: Disable or turn off the other wireless connection manager, but I'm using only windows to manage wireless connections. The adapter does show in Network Connections but won't enable even though it says it does. I updated to the latest Linksys driver but still no luck. Windows Diagnostic came back with a response that the driver may not be working so I tried it in a old XP notebook and it worked. Then I tested it in the same Windows 7 system in XP mode and it worked just fine again. So, I finally tested it in another Windows 7 Pro 64-bit system and that worked fine. So, I don't know why it fails on my system??

The relevant SysInfo is:

Tech Support Guy System Info Utility version 1.0.0.1
OS Version: Microsoft Windows 7 Professional , Service Pack 1, 64 bit
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 950 @ 3.07GHz, Intel64 Family 6 Model 26 Stepping 5
Processor Count: 8

[code]....

PS I noticed the Microsoft Virtual WiFi miniport is acting the same way, it shows in Network connections but fails to enable?

Window Switcher Instead Of Alt Tab

Jun 12, 2009

I'm thinking of replacing alt tab entirely with the 3-d version. The only downside I see is that you can't use just 1 alt-tab to quickly switch to your last active window. Is there another reason to use the old alt-tab other than personal preference?

It is quite a thumb cramper to curl under extra far to hit the windows key, but other than that I love the new feature.

Can't Scroll In Any Window In IE

Aug 11, 2010

Suddenly I cant scroll in any window in IE. If I just touch the scroll button then the window shudders to the end of the page. Just touching the button causes the window to shake up and down. In Google the curser in the search box moves on its own to the right. Cannot type in the box. Am using my XP machine for this post as my main Win 7 machine is unusable on the net. I have just tried rebooting so far, to no avail.

Window's Won't Start Normally

Aug 24, 2012

My drivers all seem to be up to date and the computer used to work fine, we've tried reinstalling windows (once or twice) and the same problem still continues. Also tried replacing the C: drive with another harddrive which had Windows Ultimate on it, this worked for a while but then went back to the screen that is the problem. Safe Mode works but once I start normally it starts up but then at the end of the flashing of the windows logo it says "Not Supported" on the monitor and you cannnot start it normally. I tried Microsoft's "Fix It" help option and came up with "The current video card driver isn't compatible with the Windows Display Driver Model" The graphics card is Asus EAH5870 (ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series), Asus P7P55D Motherboard and I am also running Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit.

Setting Up A New Window

May 15, 2011

Every time I create a new window, if I happen to already have a window from that same program open, I have to move it back up and left to set it in the top corner of the monitor.Windows off-sets new program interfaces down and to the right. And I move it back up and left.In todays world of multi-tabs and stacking task bars to group like programs, with selectable pop-up previews of programs from the task bar, why on earth do we still have to deal with the extremely irritating mode of "new windows must offset else the user will have no idea where his old window is" mentality.
