Installing Windows 7 Onto USB Drive - BIOS Setup For Bootup?

Aug 18, 2010

I need to install either windows XP or windows 7 on my USB stick so I can boot my computer from the USB and use it like a normal installation. Articles I read tell you how to install Windows on a USB but not how to allow your computer to boot from the USB like it would be a HDD. I know how to set up my BIOS and I don't need an explanation in that respect I just need a step by step guide or at least a good guide on how to install either XP or 7 onto a USB, not from I've done that 1,000,000 times.

Change Bootup From H20insyde Back To Windows 7 Bootup?

Jan 10, 2012

I went to boot up my laptop PC and I see H20Insyde asking me for a password. I have no idea where this came from. What could have caused this? I have always booted up and the only thing I see is my normal screen from Windows 7 that ask for my password.

Windows 7 Boot Failure - Repair Fail, Memory Fail?

Oct 25, 2011

I recently built a new rig and I had a problem with one stick of memory. The other stick worked alright, but I've been getting random failures. Can bad memory be inconsistent? Right now, I can't start my OS up at all. It goes straight to the Windows Repair Launcher, which fails. When it gets there, I can either find a restore point or let it 'attempt to fix' for as long as I can endure. The restore point option results in 'instruction xxx failed. memory reference xxx failed.'This leads me to believe there is a problem with the memory. But, could it be the motherboard? I played a video game for hours last night, as well as surfed the web and ran other applications. Everything was fine, until I shut down. This isn't the first time this happened. Last time, I 'fixed' it by switching the 'good' memory stick with the bad. The bad resulted in getting the OS up, but lots of BSOD's

Security Updates FAIL, Reattempt At Every Boot But Always FAIL?

Sep 16, 2012

Since early August all my Security updates have been failing. It adds time to each boot up period as it goes through the updates and then at the end will say it's failed and is reverting all the changes. I have already done some research on this issue and ran "sfc/scannow" as well as "chkdsk/f/r." Both seemed to go through with no problems. After that I did a Windows update and 12 updates seemed to go through with no problem until the required reboot where we're back to the same issue of failing and reverting.

Change A "No-Password" Bootup Back To A "Password" Bootup?

Jan 9, 2011

At present I have my WIN 7 set to Boot up without a Password. I would now like to change that siuation back to a "Password Required" Boot.

I have tried going into User Accounts >Change Passwords where I get the three boxes "Current Password", "Change Password" and "Confirm New Password" all blank as expected.

Its what happens next that has me puzzled. I tried leaving the "Current Password" blank , entered a new Password into the "Change Password" box and re-entered this into the last Box .

I now get the message " The password you typed is incorrect. Please re-type your new Password"

Computer Freezing On Bootup?

Mar 21, 2011

Whenever i boot my computer while loading windows, at the login, or very shortly after (within 2-3 minutes) of logging into my system my video freezes completely. It never shuts down, gives an error message, no blue screen of death. I am running windows 7 32bit Edition and this issue has only been happening recently. I have concluded the issue is an Nvidia issue because when i deleted the drivers and booted up without them i have no issues with "default" windows drivers. I have tried using older drivers, confirming that my drivers are up to date. I have attempted system restores and nothing i have tried is solving the issue. It runs fine in safe mode. The issue was happening only occasionally at first, eventually it would boot back up and i wouldn't have issues again for a few weeks. When it freezes it also causes an audio loop if anything is playing, so i suppose it could be crashing the system but windows has no crash logs indicating its a system crash. I'm lost, aside from replacing the video card or doing a full reinstall of windows 7 i'm not sure what else i can do to fix it!

Can't Bootup BootMgr Is Missing

Oct 7, 2012

How can I boot up my computer and what is wrong? I can't boot up my computer with Win 7 Pro. I see the motherboard splash screen (Asus), then it goes to: "BOOTMGR is missing Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart" When I press ctrl-alt-del, it comes back to the same thing. I thought maybe I could boot to the Windows disk in the CD drive, but that didn't work.

NTLDR Is Missing At Bootup?

Aug 16, 2011

I installed Windows 7 again after a couple months on XP, and I was just getting everything moved and copied from my secondary hard drive which stores my Acronis backups, and all of my data.The last thing I did was install Acronis, which wanted me to restart my PC. No problem, it worked just fine. Made a backup, and turned on Acronis Startup Recovery Manager (ASRM)... Everything worked perfect until I restarted for some reason, I don't remember what it was... I got NTLDR Is Missing, press Alt+Ctrl+Del to restart So I did, and it came up again, and couldn't find a way to fix it...Even trying to use "fixmbr" from a Win2000 disc's console didn't work, which usually, it fixes things like that.... I set it down for the night...Woke up, and had the strange idea of unplugging and removing the hard drive that contains my data files and Acronis Secure Zone.... And wow, It worked...how can I plug my hard drive back in and be able to boot up? Remove Acronis? Turn off ASRM?

However after the bootup my keyboard works its just in the bootup it does not work.

Forgot Windows 7 Bootup Password?

Jun 13, 2011

Running TSG SysInfo would be useless, because I am having to make the inquiry from an entirely different computer.The computer in question, however, is a Dell Inspiron desktop, running Windows 7. Five or six months ago, in setting my then-new Dell computer I evidently responded to a prompt by creating a bootup password, with an accompanying Hint. But through those months the computer never asked for the password, <b>until two days ago</b>. It prompted me with "wherehus", (the "hus" being "husband", referring to me) which I believe to be a truncated version of the hint I set up originally. It now suddenly wants the password. and why that change and why the hint is truncated, I have no idea. I apparently never wrote down what the password should be, like a natural-born fool.That hint had to continue with something like BORN, EDUCATED, SERVED IN ARMY, MARRIED, and the like. "BORN" could be Rochester, or Rochester Minnesota, or St. Mary's or St.Mary's Hospital or something like that. If it was "ARMY", the password would surely be Germany. And so on with names of grade and high school, university, or private business school, many of them having several possible "answers", as above. And maybe some other "wheres" that I can't think of. Of course any of those would be subject to capitalization, spacing, and/or punctuation. A password wilderness.I've worked over those possibilities exhaustively, and haven't struck the real password. I've more or less run dry with variations.That's not a technical problem that anyone could help with remotely, so I have to assume I am not going to come up with the password. And therein lies my present dilemma. I'm not asking for instructions in hacking the password back, as I know you won't do that. The computer came with Windows 7 installed, and I do have a brand-new, never-used, Windows 7 installation set, which I bought for a different computer but haven't installed because that computer doesn't have enough memory or hard drive space. Which leads me to a number of puzzlements:

1. Older versions of Windows, when installed, wiped out EVERYTHING on the hard drive, or at least left them irretrievable. I think I have heard that Windows 7 does not do that. Does anyone know?

If forced to it, I could live with a wiped-clean hard drive if that's what the new installation would do. I have or can get installation disks for the software, and recreating or retrieving the data from backups would be possible, though a pain in the neck.

2. But is it even going to be possible to install the new Windows 7, with or without the hard drive contents? Since I can't boot up, how can I run the Windows 7 installation CD(s)?

3. Where, if anyone knows, is the password stored? If it's in some semipermanent memory in the computer rather than on the hard disk, might I be stuck with that unknown password even after a new Windows 7 install?

4. Or even if I installed a different new hard drive and managed to install Windows 7, would I still be stuck?

Keyboard Takes A While To Be Recognized On Bootup

May 15, 2012

The title more or less says it all: "Keyboard takes a while to be recognised on bootup"

My pc boots in about 17 seconds, when it's done in order to login i have to insert my password but it takes a while (15-20 seconds or more) to recognise the keyboard so i usually use the onscreen-keyboard option. but it is really lame that i have to do it that way in order not to wait double the time.

My desktop is homebuild and I have personalized also a couple of things in windows, however this problem is pretty recent and I didn't do major changes before that.

I don't really know what extra information to give however i have an idea what the problem might be: the keyboard is inserted into an external usb port (8 extra usb slot extender), it might affect the visibility of the keyboard to windows.

However: in the bios before bootup i can clearly see the kb has been identified.

BIOS - 2 Copies Of Windows 7 On Bootup

Oct 1, 2011

My computer crashed several months ago. I have 2 hard drives so I reinstalled windows 7 on my D drive. I also reverted back to an earlier version of the OS which corrected the problem on the C drive. How can I remove the OS from the D drive now that I don't need it. Whenever I boot up it asked me which OS I want to use. I actually reformatted the D drive but it is still asking me which OS I want to use. How do I correct this problem so it only sees the OS on the C drive. I couldnt find anything in the Bios to correct it. I have a Dell Inspiron 570.

Error On Bootup Desktop Freezes

Feb 17, 2011

It started a couple of days ago when an error appears on one of my hard drives (second drive) during bootup, but after the first encounter I logged into windows fine and thought nothing of it. A while after my desktop froze and I was unable to do anything so I restarted. The error was still there but I logged into windows fine again, but the desktop froze instantly after I clicked anything and this continued. Now I can only just reach the login screen and it will freeze there.I have been into safe mode and tried various scans. I have ran CCleaner which did not solve the problem, Norton360 fails to do any scan at all and I also used MalwareBytes to scan for malware. During the malware scan it found around 8 infections, but when it started scanning a certain area on my main drive inside the windows folder the desktop froze. The exact same thing has happened on two occasions.

Safe mode now seems to freeze after a short while, including on the login screen and it seems I am running out of options. I want to make formatting my hard drives a last resort as I have important files that I do not want to lose.I have also physically opened my desktop, cleaned for dust and reconnected both hard drives to try and solve the error but to no avail.

Buttons Won't Work In Bootup Menu

Sep 3, 2012

recently I got an error message from Norton called 3048, 3. I followed it to the download for Norton Power Eraser, which told me to restart my computer. I did. It ran and found nothing. The message popped up twice more. Then it stopped. I've run full scans on both Norton Internet Security 2012 and MBAM, and they have found nothing. I have tried to bootup in safe mode twice, but whenever I get to bootup menu I can't do anything. The arrow won't, the escape key won't work, even the enter key doesn't work. They all work fine in normal mode. I'm working with Windows 7 by the way on an HP laptop.

Sata Driver Installed On Bootup?

Apr 1, 2011

...every time I boot my system, Windows says it is installing the SATA driver. BIOS entries are OK, once drivers are installed, Disk Management shows everything OK too. So, what could be the cause for this? I have two disks, the System SSD (OCD Vertex II 60GB SATA) must have its driver installed to boot Windows, so the msg must refer to the second HD (Seagate 1TB SATA

Vista To Be Default OS During Bootup In BIOS

Jan 21, 2009

First off, Windows 7 is very cool; I might use it more than vista now that I got internet for it, but that will have to wait for a month or two. My first question is: when I boot up my comp, and I have to pick either vista or Windows 7 (I have Windows 7 on another partition), I usually leave the room while my comp is booting, so after 30 seconds the BIOS picks Windows 7 as the default OS because its first.

I would really like to boot up my pc while doing something else, and I would love for the BIOS to pick Vista after 30 seconds instead of Windows 7 because I use Vista for games and such. Is there some way of doing that or do I have to sit around throughout the start up and manually pick Vista?

My second question seems a little picky or over the edge, but when I boot up my comp and have to pick an OS, it prints "Windows 7" while underneath it it prints out "Microsoft Windows Vista". Is there some way to add 'Microsoft' in front of Windows 7 when Im picking in the BIOS? It doesn't look as good without the Microsoft.

Windows 7 Installation Loop At Bootup

Aug 6, 2011

I bought a new pc from aria.co.uk, it came in good nic and works fine. I booted up the pc, noticing a very strange lack of any motherboard logos or bios buttons, and proceeded to insatll windows 7. I chose the 64 bit version, I got to the part where it says it is going to restart windows in 5,4,3 etc. It restarted, only for the windows installation to start back at the very first setup screen. I looked at the partitions in custom install and it said that both partitions had installed correctly, my problem was getting to the oncluding install option. I shut down the pc, and took out the windows disc and restarted it. Again no bios options, just a black screen saying "loading operating system" and then "windows did not start correctly" , it took about 20 seconds for the screen to change and then immediately restarted itself taking another 20 seconds? It loaded the windows files and I was releived to get to the final setup screen. After finishing the installation it told me it was going to restart windows, which it did, only for it to reset itself about 3 times, again saying "loading operating system"..... I had a play around with pc, altering the resoluton and stuff, and shut it down for about 5 minutes. When I turned it on it told me "windows did not start correctly" and took me system repair, in which it found a problem and couldn't fix it. The hardware was fine, but it said "a patch stopped the system from starting". It is very hit and miss and sometimes starts normally and sometimes takes me directly into system repair. I managed to get into the bios once by pressing delete rapidly at boot up, and hardrive was selected as priority, so that couldn't be the problem involving windows.

Nightmares Alternating Between 2 Bootup HDDs?

Apr 11, 2012

so ever since I got Windows 7, i have had nothing but nightmares alternating between 2 hard drives.

before back when I was running XP I had 2 HDDs that I would alternate between. both had XP installed, one of which was for backup. whenever I had a problem with my current OS, I would just swap the HDDs and run my backup while I image the other screwed up one.

now with Windows 7, i cannot do that because of the STUPID bootloader. bootloader made me have nightmares at night. pretty much what happens when I swap it says "BOOTMGR is Missing". now whats really messed up is that, I think the PC stores the bootloader info NOT ON THE HDD, but somewhere in the BIOS or mobo. because i completely disable the old HDD that I used to bootup with 3 partitions, and the one im trying to boot up has 2 partitions and it worked perfectly. but since i used norton ghost and try to boot up after restoring a backup of 7 on it, it says "BOOTMGR is missing".

both of my HDD windows got screwed up, and even my CD ROM STOPPED WORKING! i couldnt even recover it from the W7 disk. but I maanged to fool the system by swapping CDs and finally got into the recovery and repaired one of my HDDs boot loader. but the one I need it to work within 2 days is still messed up. can someone explain to me how this bootloader works and what i need to do?

I got 7, XP, and Vista on SATA, and 7 and Ubuntu on IDE. both worked fine whenever I needed to swap between them until i messed with Norton Ghost

do i need to format my HDD and write 0s to it? it worked for my SATA that wouldnt boot up and give me NTLDR error before. same crap with W7 bootloader.
