My father's PC is quite new, with Intel i5200 chip, 4Gb RAM and ASUS motherboard with onboard graphics. About a month ago he experienced random BSODs, he is not aware of any particular program causing them, and the dump files I have seen are all different.
BSODs increased in frequency, so I said I'd take a look at it, reinstall Windows, whatever. Anyway, it took me hours to back up his photos between crashes, and then I found I couldn't boot from HDD or WIn 7 DVD (full retail disk). I get to the Windows did not start successfully, run Repair screen, but it doesn't run it. Likewise from the DVD, it loads the initial files, then crashes to the Repair screen, only to not run it.
Likely culprits? HDD? RAM or PSU? It's in warranty, but I'd like a steer on possible causes before he sends it back, you can never know too much!
So, I need to know if I can install windows 7 x64 via direct boot when I start up my computer it is in ISO format. So like my default boot will be my DVD drive to install it. can I do that with it being ISO format?
I tried to add a new 1TB HDD into my computer. not realizing what i was doing wrong. i just threw it in there no software or anything. now my PC is getting "DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER" and i no longer have my windows 7 disk. is there anything i can do ?
im usin 2tb segate new hard disk sir..in my system i cant able to boot my os and also my hard disk...its showin that hard disk boot failure insert system disk press enter ...i restarted many times its sayin the same problem...in my gigabite mobo bios my hard disk is not get detected sir....the problem is that wen im installin the new os for 2nd time its all went nice only sir but at the completion of the os it wil ask for the user name and password but in my system its frozen sir fully of black screen and i cant able to do anythin so i restarted my system from that im gettin this error as hard disk boot failure insert system disk press enter.....that my new hard disk and all of my data is in that hard disk only..this problem arises wen im installing the os for 2nd time sir.
I woke up this morning, and I found that my computer was displaying this message"Disk boot failure, insert system disk and press enter". There are a ton of needed documents on the computer, and I'm hoping that they can be saved some way.
I've been having this error even after reformatting and reinstalling Windows 7 on my desktop. I've done reformatting / reinstalling Windows 7 several times, yet the problem still occurs. I'm thinking of my HDD as being corrupted or messed up. The problem occurred after I accidentally hit the CPU when I was stretching my foot. The screen froze after that. Upon rebooting it, 'Disk boot failure, Insert system disk and press enter' occurs. After I entered the DVD installer of Windows 7, the screen just hangs.
I have been having a bit of trouble with windows 7 lately, namely that it won't start up right. When I boot from the drive normally, it gives me the classic "BOOT DISK ERROR: INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER" message.
However, I soon discovered that if I boot from the Windows 7 cd and do not boot from it (By ignoring the "Press a key to boot from CD or DVD..." Windows 7 boots up fine. I've tweaked my BIOS over and over, but the same problem persists. The drive is brand new and fine. What can I do?
My friend bought a new PC and needed to put am OS on it. He put in the W7 disk and the error message 'disk boot failure insert system disk and press enter' appeared before installation was shown. He has tried changing around BIOS and it also recognises the hard drive and DVD/ CD ROM drive. Here is the specification he was given:Case : CIT Reaper Black Mesh fronted Tower CaseMotherboard : Gigabyte 78LMT Motherboard TechnologyCPU : AMD Bulldozer FX 4170 4.2ghz 8mb CacheHard Drive : 1tb Sata Hard DriveMemory : 8gb DDR3 1600mhz MemoryOptical Drive : 24x Dual Layer Sata DVD WriterGraphics Card : Nvidia Geforce GTX 650 2gb GDDR5 With HDMIPower Supply : 750 Watt Branded Power Supply Also, he has tried booting BIOS in different order
When starting the computer, I keep getting "Disk boot failure, insert system disk and press enter". Nothing works other than putting in the boot disk and hitting the restart button on the tower. Then it will boot up and run fine. But how do I stop it from having to have the disk in order to load? Checked in the BIOS and the hard drive is the first load.
2 months ago, I installed windows 7 pro with no problems at all. Fast forward to today, I decided to reformat because the boot would get stuck in the middle of trying to boot into windows, it wouldn't flash the windows logo. I didn't think much of it so I just reformatted. This is where my real troubles began.So I reinstall windows 7 pro with no problems (the boot disk is in there the cd drive the entire time) I install my programs and what not and install my updates. All 100% Fine. Then I take out the boot disk and restart again... and I get this error message saying:
Client Mac Address: 00 30 1B BC1F59 GUID: 12973077-FFFF-FFFF-FFFF-FFFFFFFFFFFF DCHP....
Then I press escape, then it says this:
PXE-EA0: Network Boot Canceled PXE-M0F: Exiting Nvidia Boot Agent DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER
So the first time I got this error, I just thought, Oh, something must have happened no big deal, so I reformatted again and again. But I kept on getting the same exact error. It'll load into windows just fine when my install disc is in the cd drive, but when I take it out, that error pops up. *My windows is authentic, each time I have been able to validate my copy.* I have tried installing from my hard drive and from the install disc with same error.*
I want to do a 'custom' reinstall on my C: drive. It's clogged with unused programs and it runs very slow.I set the BOIS to boot from HD and CD; neither worked. I purchased a new HD and may want to install it as my C: drive.I set the BOIS to boot from CD; still I get the dreaded message:"Disk boot failure insert system disk and and press enter"I recently installed a new mother board due to the fact it was defective, not as an upgrade.To make it clear I already had Win7 Ultimate installed. On my first attempt to perform #1 I got to the question of which install did I want; I clicked 'custom'. From then on nothing happened, and now I keep getting "THE DREADED MESSAGE".I put my win7 disk in another OSXP computer and it displayed, "This disk is not compatible with this system" so I assumed my disc was not corrupt.I bought my win7 disk legally on line a couple of years ago, and I have used it once. Will that be the problem? I never got to the "License key" so I don't see how it could be?
i watched this video on Internet where this guy had windows loaded on a ddr2 or ddr3 ram disk (i guess you would call it that) and windows booted in less than 4 seconds and programs opened up instantly. i have not one clue how he did it but would this be possible to do and put all of your everyday programs on it? like your web browser, media center, and what ever else you use most often, and you put the rest of your programs on a ssd?
I am running Windows 7 32 Bit Home Premium, and at random times the PC will shut down and come up with the BSOD. After I try to boot up the computer I get a message saying 'Disk Boot Failure Insert system disk and press enter. Most of the time the only way I can get it to boot up is if I open up the case and disconnect the hard disk and dvd drive and reconnect them. On the initial screen after pressing the power button, it'll take a while before it detects IDE drives. If I don't disconnect/reconnect them, then at the initial screen it will sit at that screen and will not detect any disk/dvd drive.Does anybody know a proper solution without having to disconnect and reconnect the hard disk/dvd drive as I think that this may not be a good idea?
I just got an SSD, and immediately installed W7 on it. Got it all updated, backed up my other drive, and formatted the old one so it wouldn't be a boot disk. However, now Windows won't automatically boot from the SSD. I can hit the boot menu at startup and select the drive manually, but it does not show up in the arrangeable list of drives to automatically boot from. How do I make Windows automatically boot from the SSD? Windows 7 is fully installed and updated on it; it works fine when I automatically select it, but Windows refuses to notice it unless I tell it that it is there.
how to make a win 7 boot disk then add programs that are avaiable on this site and run them off a dvd to try and bring a Dell laptop that i purchased last year. also if there are other scanning software that can be recommended would be useful. I have some computer background, but not advanced. One last item, is there such a scanning software that can detect injected services that are hooked in win 7 to slow down your laptop?
I notices some sound issues so I restarted. Then my computer froze seconds after windows had launched like on the web. After cleaning my fan and stuff it worked again I feel asleep watching something and awoke to a froZen black screen. I restarted and have been getting disk boot failure ever since.
I have heard that windows 7 will not boot from guid disks but I remembered that Mac's can dual boot windows using 'boot camp', but macs use the guid partition map not the mbr partition map.
I have a "DISK BOOT FAILURE" error during startup. I just installed Ultimate x64 and now this error appears. It was OK on Ultimate x86.
I detached all hard drives and USB devices except system disk and DVD ROM and still error appears. I booted from installation disk and ran repair and still error appears. I booted again from installation disk and ran next cmd:
The only way to run Windows 7 is to insert installation disk to DVD, wait until message "Press any key to run from cd or dvd", DO NOT press any key and wait. In a few seconds Windows 7 starts.
My friend's Gateway laptop has problems and I want to install Windows again. But when I try to boot to the installation disk, after I select the DVD in the boot selection menu, I just get a blank screen with a flashing cursor. After a few minutes, one time I saw a message that said something like "bootmgr cannot be found" or is missing or something like that.
But the computer can successfully boot to a Puppy Linux boot disk.

I converted my 500 gb hard disk to DYNAMIC DRIVE. now my windows 7 won't boot from hard disk. what will i do?? is there any way i can recover my files..??
i've been checking everywhere for some info and my problem doesn't seem like anyone elses. i just recently repartitioned my hdd usuing gnome partitioner and reformated to unformated to install windows 7. I've set my boot menu to boot off the disk drive, but when i put the windows 7 disk in it says to insert a bootable disk.
My laptop used to run on Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit, but the OS crashed and just wouldn't boot. I tried using my laptop's recovery disc, but that had some problem and doesn't help me restore my laptop. I hope to format my hard-drive and do a fresh install of Windows 7. But for that I don't have an installation disc, I have a registered key for Windows 7 at the bottom of my laptop though
OK So to begin Im upgrading from windows XP Professional.. Before I decided to up grade I ran into this error on my PC: C:windowssystem32configsystem missing or corrupt
I tried the recovery disk and pressing r and typing in the commands in microsofts website and it said: access denied (or something along those lines) Ok so I gave up on that and when I start the computer I can go into BIOS and everything but as soon as it hits the screen where "windows didnt start last time, safe mode, blah, last known good configuration. If select any of them it freezes and if I allow the countdown it usually goes to a white / black screen and says that error up there ^^.
We couldnt get it fixed so I decided that I would upgrade to windows 7 and I purchased it online and downloaded it and it WILL not work with the computer. I go into BIOS and set CD/DVD first and press a key to boot from disk and it just restarts as soon as it loads and keeps redoing it. Occasionally Ill get a " the file is possibly corrupt, the file header checksum does not match the computed checksum.
My computer has been unable to boot to the Windows 7 installer for the past two days. My boot order is correct I have confirmed that the drive works (It runs a live CD of Ubuntu just fine). I have checked that the disk works (it boots fine in another machine). I have used this same disk on this computer before several times before with successful outcomes.
My diagnostics come back successful as well. I'm on a Dell Studio 1735 (from 2008). I'm really at a lost as to why it's not booting to the DVD. I'm currently typing this from my Ubuntu partition; I don't have convenient access to a Windows machine at this point.
i changed my disk partitions as dynamic disks in windows 7 home basic (accidently) After i install windows 7 ultimate. It cannot boot from dynamic disk. it shows blank screen. What can i do. how do i recover it. my system cannot boot.
01May I replaced the hard drive and re-installed W7 on the new HD. Spent a couple hrs on phone w. MS to get them to reactivate my key. Once installed and activated W7 did the updates I expected it to. But eventually, it gave me error messages on some updates, which I ignored. Over the next 3 days, things would run fine, but the "shutdown" button on the start menu would always tell me it had updates. Each time I shutdown, it would say "Installing 1 of 3 updates". I would restart the comp and get the same update indicator. Eventually I ignored it.Yesterday, 21May, I decided to restart, since it hadn't been done in awhile. It shutdown fine, but when it got to the "starting windows" screen where the colored dots fly in to make the windows logo, it froze w. the red and yellow dots in mid flight. I never saw the other dots, the logo, or anything there after.
I did a hard shutdown, tried to restart, and got a choice to run window repair (recommended) or start normal. "Start normal" freezes at the above mentioned screen w. the dots. The repair option loads files and then freezes at a black screen w. "Microsoft Corporation" and a progress indicator bar that never progresses.I eventually got the comp to boot from the W7 disc and reinstalled W7. Process was smooth, everything was running well. Or so I thought. This system has never woken up from sleep mode, so in the past, I have disabled the function. Last night, I forgot to. Woke up this morning and the comp was asleep. As usual, it would not respond so I had to do a hard shutdown. I now have the same freezing issue I described earlier. Thinking I could just reload W7 again, I booted from the disk. This time it froze at the same screen w. the red and yellow dots and wouldn't progress. It won't let me have the option of reinstalling. Thinking that it might be the HD, I put in the old HD, which I had wiped clean, and it froze at the 2 dots.I put the disc into another comp and it spun up just fine, w.o freezing, so its not the disc.
Summary: Comp freezes at the 2 dot screen on the old HD which is clean, on the new HD, from the boot disc of W7, and from a burned copy of the W7 ISO boot file. Whether I boot from the HD or the discs, I freeze at the 2 dot screen when trying to start W7 normally. When I try to repair, it freezes after loading files. It also freezes while trying to boot in safe mode and from the "last known good config." Microsoft says I probably need to update my Mobo Bios, but I don't know how to do it w.o being in W7.
Mobo: Biostar A880GU3 CPU: AMD Phenom II 965 GPU: ATI HD 5770 PSU: Corsair 750w RAM: 4GB (2x2) DDR 3 HDD: WD 320gb OS: Win 7 Pro 64bit
Gateway GT5636E w/Windows Vista Home Premium 32. Trying to install Microsoft Windows 7 Pro 64. The system is 64 bit compatible and I do have the BIOS set to start DVD optical Drive first and I know I need to do a clean install. Don't go there please.I am using an offical Microsoft install DVD. I place the 64 bit DVD in while Vista is running and shut down as instructions indicate. Upon reboot the system seems to ignore the DVD and reboots to Vista. Also, the 64 bit install disk will not even read in Vista. The 32 bit install disk will read in Vista.
