PC Not Booting Windows 7 Or Linux - I / O Error Message
Feb 3, 2013
Windows 7 not booting! I have a Medion Laptop and it froze so I forced it off. Now when I load it in any mode (safe mode freezes after avg file) It will go to a black screen or a 0xc0000009 I/O error message. I've run it in start up repair and there aren't any system restore points available and start up repair took 17 hours before I decided to turn it off! My hardware doesn't make any strange sounds and my bios recognises my Hard Drive. Luckily, there's nothing important on the laptop so I don't mind if we have to reset it to factory settings as I have the Windows 7 installation disc as well!
I bought each of my twin sons a Dell Inspiron 15R. As teenage boys do, they really mucked them up with every kind of virus and x-ware out there. After not being completely successful cleaning them up with various anti-what-ever programs, I decided to reformat and do a clean install. Problem is, Dell no longer furnishes a hard copy of the OS that was installed at factory. Apparently, they have partitioned the hard drive and installed all original software in that partition, and provided a PC Restore program that will access all software and re-set-up the computer to the state is was when purchased. After doing this, everything worked fine as it claimed it would. Personally, I find it to be the best thing that Dell has done with MS in years.
My question is this...Can I dual boot this set-up with Linux (which I use exclusively, and my son wants to learn), or will this partition that Dell is now using cause me real problems in the case that I may need to perform a future PC Restore?
I was trying to install a ubuntu distribution to my primary hard drive (along side Windows 7) and at 99% of copying files the setup reported there was not sufficient memory to install backtrack. I cannot boot back into windows 7 as the computer resets before getting past the boot screen (shows 'starting windows' as normal then the screen blacks and takes me back to BIOS). this process loops unless I select windows repair option, which does not fix the problem. The Backtrack live CD won't let me delete the new, half-installed partition, so therefore I cannot change the windows partition back to it's usual (small) size of 55GB.
My OS of choice back then was MS Windows, however after Windows XP I moved to OSX. About two years ago I knew I needed to get back involved with Windows and bought my Lenovo Laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium. I then installed Windows 8 Consumer Preview on a different partition and upgraded to Windows 8 Pro when it became available. I am now looking to install a distro of Linux and can't seem to find any information of doing so. I don't know which Windows partition it would be best to install it on 7 or 8. Also I understand that Ubuntu have a Windows Installer wubi, but I have heard horror stories after the installation. My main fear is losing Windows 7 or 8 and if the entire process is too risky I'll just leave it altogether. So I guess my question is has anyone installed a Linux distro on a PC which originally came pre installed with Windows 7 and then added Windows 8 to a partition?
How do i uninstall any linux distro after successfully installing both windows and linux.i dont want to lose my MBR. [or] will it (Windows) rewrite it again.i am a bit scared to do it myself as i was going to do a secure deletion of the partition.
I keep getting a restart message upon booting while trying to install a legitimate copy of windows 7 64 bit on an HP Pavillion a6130n. This is a clean install on a reformatted drive.I have added memory and thats about it
I am using Dell Inspiron Laptop with Windows 7 Home preium OS. Five days before my friend installed MS Visual Studio and Sql Server 2008 in my laptop. From that day onwards, whenever, i am switch on my laptop, a message ""This action can not be completed because the other program is busy. Choose "switch to" to activate the busy program and correct the problem". Eventhough Switch to button is clikced the Windows startup will raise up. After 10 to 15 times of click, the message dissaperas. Also, I am observing that my WiFi connection takes a long time to connect to my office internet after this. Previously, once the screen appears, this will turn and catch the connection immediately. Now, after this message dissappears, then only the WiFi is detecting the network.Now, I have uninstalled Visual studio and MS Sql server from my laptop but not from my registry still.
I got windows 7 64 bits since more 2 years , i activated it .Recently i changed my hardware for a new graphics card, but i didn't notice anything about a message.But now , i just installed the latest fedora with grub multi-boot, and now my windows 7 is not genuine ?
I have a Dell XPS 430 that came with Windows Vista and a Windows 7 upgrade disk. I set up my main hard drive with Windows 7 on one partition, Linux on another partition, and a third partition for storage. I recently needed more space for Windows, and no longer needed Linux, so using the Windows 7 disk manager I deleted the Linux partition and extended the Win partition using the newly unallocated space.
Upon restarting my machine, I am no longer able to boot into windows but instead am presented with the message: GRUB Loading, please wait... Error 22
I have a Windows 7 disk that I am using to access the repair utility, which I have run countless times. I have tried severel of the tutorials to rebuild BCD and FixMBR, etc etc. Frankly I am getting lost in all the commands and not even sure what does what anymore!
i am using windows 7 with 2 gb ram and 500 gb hardisk. After booting up, in a few minutes it starts giving not responding message. I even could not start the task manager. In fact windows is stuck. I used to restart my system to continue my work
i have a problem during installation of windows 7 via usb flash ,i started setup it was fine until the step of selecting the drive to install the windows ,i got this message "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk"i searched a lot to find a solution but i got no answer ,also i knew that there are some steps should be checked first in bios menu but it seems that my bios menu has some difference because of my old pc

I know that it tries to boot from lan after skipping all other steps without success but why? dvd drive is fine. it boots the windows xp cd. any ideas? after the pxe-e53 error it shows me windows boot manager with status 0x0000225. i run memtest86+ to check possible problem in ram but showed me no errors.
A day ago I started getting a DLL error after booting up . Error is " There was a problem starting msikrl32.dll. The specified module could not be found ". I googled a lot and could not find anything related to this error.I am using ESET antivirus 5.0 and scan results says everything fine.
I get 3 error windows that pop up whenever I boot, or log in to windows. Here is the picture: [URL]. I ran multiple deep cleans using spyboy SD, Malware Antibytes, Nod32, and AdAware. None of them fixed these problems. I also googled the missing .dll's and found no results... literally.
i have Acer Aspire laptop. For vista.i have installled windows 7 long ago.now i am getting error. while booting.Error like "Disk 0".please anyone can help.and i have tried to install windows 7 again but hard disk is not allowing me to install.
I have already reported to Sony to but i heard their take their time but thats the one thing what i dont have at the moment so i know many people here know about that stuff to. So anyway. Some time ago SP1 launched for Windows 7. I installed but it but something went it wrong and it didn't install correcly and then i was forced to use System restore. Everything worked and i haven't used SP1 because i don't want to risk screwing up my computer before some important things, i got plenty of time later for that . The problem is after the system restore every time Vegas launches i get a error : Sony Vegas pro 10 an error occurred starting Vegas Pro Error 0x80070002 (message missing).
I'm doing an upgrade from 32 bit XP to 32 bit Windows 7 on a Dell Dimension 8300 desktop. I've run the upgrade advisor. The desktop has 2 hard drives and a RAID controller configured in Stripe(RAID 0). I bought the Windows 7 Home Premium family pack (3 installs) and did the XP to Windows 7upgrade on two laptops; so I think the disk is okay. When I start the upgrade for a clean install on the desktop I get a "f1 to retry boot f2 for setup" message from the BIOS indicating that it does not seem to recognize the Windows 7 install disk in the CD. I've check the CD reader and it seems to read the files without a problem. I can start the Windows 7 install within XP but that does not work for the clean install, I need to start from the boot. There is a second DVD ROM drive on the system but that does not work either.
I can't find anything on this and all 501/505 message posts are related to Windows XP not 7. But, I have a 501/505 error message in my Windows 7. Funny thing, it is a problem with all my browsers (IE and Firefox) and I cannot access any website with the www. prefix. Urls without this prefix works fine. The only thing I can think of is that I downloaded and installed a Java update yesterday. Did this cause the 501/505 error problem? I also tried following the steps recommended by Microsoft for XP [URL]
I keep getting a window with this error; when I close the window it simply reappears: "Application Error" Exception EListError in module en.cpl at 00013BF2, List index out of bounds (0)." It didn't appear after I tried opening any specific program, it just appeared randomly. Is this a virus? How do I stop this?
I have Windows 7, Live Mail. Mail with attachments come in with no problems, like photo attachments, but my mail will not go out with photos attached. They are not huge files. I get an error message "error/tasks" but then that screen freezes.
Before my computer was working fine when i am connecting to the internet using a portable usb internet huawei. Then one morning when i tried to connect i got this "Error: 720".

Basically, my Windows was messed up so I re-installed Windows Vista 32 bit onto my computer. My copy of Windows 7 is a .iso from Microsoft and its 64 bit. Whenever I try to run i get an error message about it being the wrong type of Windows. I'm guessing that this is because I have 4gb of ram but windows vista 32 bit has reduced it to 3gb and I read online that you need at least 4gb to run Windows 7. How do I go about re-installing Windows 7?
I am trying to install Windows 8 x86 on my 2-year old Acer Aspire One netbook. After the screen that says "Setup is Starting," a message comes up telling me that a "Required CD/DVD Device Driver" is missing and that I must find the driver file before continuing setup. Being a netbook, my machine doesn't have a disk drive.
