I am in the process of trying to repair/reinstall Windows 7 32 bit home premium after a crash that has disabled my laptop. The computer has no longer booted properly after the crash occurred when I had to control+alt+delete out of a frozen screen. I do not feel the root of the problem is from a virus of any kind as I only visit mainstream websites and my virus protection/firefox has caught the very few instances I have ever run into. When it boots now, it starts normally showing the Toshiba logo then says "windows is loading files", then shows "microsoft corporation" with the moving green bar underneath and finally after a good while goes to windows 7 backdrop with nothing else showing but the mouse pointer.
I have tried a repair disc and booted from the DVD/CD drive to no avail. My system tools do come up for use but it will not boot into safe mode. It also shows no restore points. I did the memory diagnostic and nothing came of it. I have run startup repair several times and it just sits there running..the last time running it for 4 days straight continuous with no results. When the "System Recovery Options" box pops up searching for windows installs it shows a single Windows 7 install under the E: drive with partition size of 0 mb, but im almost certain my Windows is not under drive E:, but it does not find any other Windows installs though.
I am able to look around abit at the hard drive by clicking "load drivers" under the "System Recovery Options" and this is what it shows. 4 hard drives: "system reserved (c drive" 70.1mb free of 99mb "local disc (D drive does not show size or allow me to access it when i click on it "local disk (e drive same, does not show me size or allow me to access it. Boot (x drive 29.1mb free of 31.5mb Then (f drive Repair disc windows 7 64bit. About 8 months ago the computer crashed after my daughter changed some file type assignments and we had to reinstall Windows 7. The reinstall did take, but I do not think we formatted the drives properly with the reinstall and there were several different partitions on the hard drive.
After that install it would show PXE-E61 Media Test Failure, check cable/ PXE-MOF Exiting pxe rom when it would first boot, but it still booted properly and never had any other problems with the reinstall until now. Also windows would never allow me to do a "back up" after the reinstall. When I reinstall windows this time I want to get the partitions in proper order and make sure everything is working properly so im not in this situation without a backup again. I am hoping I have not lost the data on this computer and have been looking at buying a hard drive adapter so I can connect the laptops hard drive to my home pc and hopefully recover the data off the hard drive before reinstalling windows again. Is this an effective way of preserving any data on the hard drive before I reinstall?
I have a Dell Laptop that won't boot up anymore (BSOD), I have saved all the data on the drive and I want to re-install/repair windows but I do not have the original Dell Windows 7 DVD (and the recovery drive was nuked). I do have a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate on me and I was wondering if I could use that to do the re-install (and keep their valid Dell CD-Key)? Is this possible?
Recently my old laptop (toshiba a200-1vo) stopped booting. I'd get the "windows has failed to start" message which led me to try to start it up in safe mode, command line mode, etc which all resulted in a black screen with a movable cursor.I then tried booting from my win 7 CD to either try using the recovery console or just format/install again with no avail. The installation only recognizes my hdd as "unpartionated disk space" and does not allow me to install windows 7 either "'Windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure the disk's controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu" - I'm not sure what this means but I do have the bios configured to boot from windows 7 as first source. I then tried running the recovery console which failed to resolve my problems automatically and got the following message "windows boot manager is missing or corrupt". After this I think it became apparent my hdd has some kind of issue. I tried going into the console and manually format but windows only recognizes 1 disk partition (X: which is the Boot partition). I've tried a few commands like bootrec /fixmbr /fixboot /rebuildbcd but nothing seems to work. chkdsk can't even be started either since windows can't detect any partition either.
I installed some software yesterday on my other PC and it seemed to cause some problems with another application so I uninstalled it via Remove Programs. On restart Windows 7 (Home Premium 64 bit) failed to start and all I got was a BSOD with the main error PFN_LIST_CORRUPT. After unsuccessfully trying to start in Safe Mode or Last Known Good Configuration I thought I'd try to repair the W7 installation using the W7 disc. (BTW - I don't know of any other options in W7 but would be grateful for any advice on that.) After powering up I pressed F12 to get a menu up and selected the option 'Boot from CDROM'. It seemed to be doing this and I got the message 'Windows is Loading Files'. I expected at that stage to be presented with an 'install or repair W7' option screen from the disc, like in XP. However, all that happened is that the OS proceeded to try and load, unsuccessfully, and went back to the BSOD. How do I get the disc to try and repair the install, or, if it comes to it, reinstall W7? I can't see those options. Do I need to amend the BIOS or something? (In the meantime I have put the disc in and chosen to run the Windows Memory Diagnostics Tool (extended option) in the hope of finding the problem. This has been stuck at 21% for about an hour.) PS - I don't know which details are relevant but motherboard on that PC is Gigabyte P67A-UD7, processor is Intel 2600k, with 8GB of RAM. It is not connected to the internet.
Got my stuff ready to reformat, only to realize I don't have a Windows 7 recovery disc.I created a System Repair Disc using Backup & Restore in control panel but I'm unsure whether this is what I need to do a complete reinstall?I wanted to follow this guide to do a complete reformat, not a recovery.
I have a netbook ASUS Eee PC 1005PXD.After only two days of use, i get a black screen at the beginning: "Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key".Pressing F9 on boot doesn't work and i'm still getting the black screen.F2 is working, then in Boot Settings, i set Removable Device as 1st Boot Device. (and there is no Boot Booster option to disable).Then, using the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool, i create a Windows 7 bootable USB, in order to use the System Recovery.When i get to the System Recovery Options screen, no Operating System appear in the list. (It say to load drivers in this case, but i have no idea which drivers and how to load them).
Then i press next without choosing OS, but pressing Startup Repair after that didn't help.Also using the Command Prompt didn't help (bootrec /fixmbr, bootrec /fixboot, bootrec /scanos, bootrec /rebuildbcd) The two last commands (/scanos and /rebuildbcd) give: "Number of windows installed: 0".Then i decided to reformat and reinstall Windows 7 (my netbook is new):i boot using the Windows 7 bootable USB i created before, then on first screen i press on "Install now".When i get to screen "Which type of installation do you want", i choose Custom.Then i get to screen "Where do you want to install Windows?" but the list is empty, and at the bottom, it is written "No drives were found. Click Load Driver to provide a mass storage driver for installation".
I've looked around these forums for answers on how to solve this but have come up empty/there wasn't enough information for my specific problem.After I had a Windows 7 update install (8/12/11), and restarted my computer (ASUS), all that my computer will go to is the Startup repair. Ater running through a meaningless scan telling me the same thing to restart my computer/contact...well...Windows. However every time I restart the comput it will go back to the Startup repair.I have tried to start the computer in Safe Mode but it still reverts back to the Startup Repair.I CANNOT get to my desktop at all. So I don't know how to run the install/repair disk. It won't start on booting either.
I cant run any 32bit exe. I can run sfc /scannow and I can run any virus software. When my computer boots it says that all my startup 32 bit programs have crashed and I cant open anything unless it is 64 bit. Again I cant run virus software unless it is only 64 bit and I cant run sfc /scannow. It stops at 10%. want to do a system restore or factory reset both of which I dont think will fix this anyway and I dont have the windows 7 cd.

I have a problem with an Italian Windows 7 32-bit Home Premium installation that I have been unable to resolve. So I am resorting to a 'repair' install.I downloaded the English Win 7 32-bit generic version as an ISO file and started to perform an 'upgrade' install.However, I didn't get very far before I received the message that I couldn't upgrade due to the language difference.I searched on the internet but could not find an Italian version. I did find a language pack for Italian, but it is claimed to be for higher versions of Win 7 than Home Premium. In any case it isn't clear to me what I would have to do with this language pack. where I can find an applicable ISO or what else I can do in order to proceed?
I read through a few threads with similar topics but the issues were either not quite the same and/or resolved comparatively easily. I am trying to repair a 1.5 year-old HP Pavilion running Windows 7 Home Premium 64. This machine is used as the main office computer in a small doctor's office. In spite of my warnings, anti-virus software was not installed until it was too lateThere was a major issue about seven months ago that required another company to repairThe problem is explorer.exe will not run. Double-clicking a shortcut on the desktop, clicking the text name of a program from the Start menu, and even in the cmd results in the same response, a dialog box pops up stating windows explorer has stopped working.
windows is checking for a solution to the problem. followed by another box stating windows explorer is restarting. But the requested application never starts. I have run the Ultimate Boot CD 4 Win, replaced the hard drive and cloned all data, run numerous registry scans, malware scans and antivirus scans. Initially removing over 1500 virus/malware hits and over 1400 registry errors. But the main problem persists, explorer.exe won't open programs.
I purchased the Win 7 Pro Upgrade 32bit via digitalriver, but I've been doing some reseach and probably should have selected the 64bit version.
- Any ideas how I can get the 64bit version?
- For those who ordered the 32bit back-up disc kit for the extra $15 and have received it, does it come with both 32bit & 64bit?
- I've already installed and activated the 32bit version, but when I go to install the 64bit version, will I need to / is there a way to deactivate my initial 32bit install or will this not matter?
I am pretty sure that a virus cause this, right before my computer shut down on it's own my anti virus popped up and said that a Trojan was found but I didn't have to do anything. Then the computer shut down and when it restartrd started to load files and then go into startup repair, only it couldn't fix it. I tried a restore, but again it said that the startup files wern't there. I just quickly scanned the diagnostic details and noticed something that said "boot critical file C:CI.dll is corrupt".
I have a Toshiba Satellite C655-S5132 that just shut down & now will not boot Windows 7. Just goes to black screen w/blinking cursor then goes to 'startup repair' (which I'm postiive this is a virus of somekind) & will not allow me to do anything. Just repeats itself. I downloaded Windows 7 repair to a CD-R, chgd BIOS settings to CD/DVD to boot first, saved changes, and will NOT pull/boot up from disc. I've tried 2diff repair discs, both do not work. 'F8' does not do anything for me, not able to get to 'safe mode'. Computer is only 2yrs old.
Created it with no problems, apparently at least. My BIOS is set to boot from CD drive, so why won't my machine boot from the system repair disk? There were no errors when disk was created. My machine just boots to windows.
Anyone else experience this with Win 7 Professional?
I cannot get my computer to restart. It tries to restart but keeps saying that startup repair cannot repair computer automatically. I try to do a system restore but it won't let me do that either

I just got a new HP laptop running Intel Core i7 and Windows 7 Home Premium. I'm also using IE 9. A lot of times when I have a tab open in IE9, and open a new tab, either by clicking on the new tab, or a link inside the current page opens the new tab when I click it - when I'm done with what I needed and go to close the new tab, I get an error message 'Internet Explorer Has Stopped Working' IE freezes until I close the error window. It doesn't happen every time a new tab is opened - I just can't narrow it down to what is actually causing it.

I used to get a crash dump opening certain folders, usually was one of my car picture folders, recently it's my downloads with my minecraft etc in it.. I've run check disk but it happens over and over and over, never fails.The bug check is as follows 0x000000F4 (0x00000003,0x87558828,0x875899 4,0x8321CD60)When it runs check disk it deletes thousands of orphan files it tells me, 12kb in bad sectors, deleting corrupt file record segment 37572, deleting index entry for a ton of dll files. Also since this started my computer is convinced it isn't genuine windows when it really is..
