Upgrade Stuck At 41%
Dec 5, 2009
I got my ****ing windows 7 upgrade disc in the mail, got it working, waited for like 3 hours, an now its stuck on the last ****ing step at 41%. It's been stuck for about 2 hours. Its not the inconvenience of having to fix an issue, if microsoft can't give me an upgrade cd that works, thats fine, I'll just find a work around, but its in the MIDDLE OF INSTALLATION. What happens when I turn off my computer? Will I be able to boot?
Will I loose everything? And of course, for windows theres no tech support, theres no chat support, your just on your own and you have to sign up for some forum and hope that someone will give you an answer to your question.

I installed Win 7 RC on a new build and purchased Vista Home Premium 64bit OEM with upgrade to Win 7 Home premium. The Win 7 upgrade disc has arrived. I understand that Vista must be installed and activated for the upgrade to work. Attempts to install Vista with Win 7 RC running or booting from the Vista disc lead to error code 0x80070103, insufficient free space. My HDD has > 450 Gb free space in 2 partitions. Do I need to reformat the HDD in order to install Vista over Win 7?

I ordered the 50$ Windows 7 upgrade disk. I realize that Windows 7 will need vista or XP already installed for the upgrade version of Windows 7. But if I want to upgrade my Vista 32-bit to Windows 7 64-bit, Will I be able to do it with this upgrade disk? after all I will need a fresh install (because 32 to 64) and this is the upgrade version...

Customer dropped off a laptop telling me that his Windows upgrade had failed.
It's a new HP DV6 that had Vista pre-installed on it.
I've taken a look at it, and there's a "Windows.old" folder on the root of C:, which is of course a back up of all his data.
There's also a batch file inside the folder with the following inside of it:
"REM Dummy file for NTVDM"
I'm wondering if there's a way to "continue" the upgrade / merging process? He has asked me to re-install all of his software the way he had it. So i'm hoping there's an easier way to continue where he left off.
I know Windows 7 creates a "Windows.old" folder when upgrading from XP. Not sure why one was created for a Vista to Windows 7 upgrade though.

I have a pc with Windows XP pro 32bit retail version. First I have made an image, just in case. Then I have upgraded it to windows 8, 64bit by using the retail upgrade DVD and clean install. However, I found out that my motherboard is so old (5 years old) that there are no drivers for win8 and after asking ASUS they said that the motherboard is not supported any more and that there will be no new drivers for it. I tried using win7 drivers but it did not work and without correct drivers a lot of things does not work (in particularly hdmi port).What I want to do now is to revert to my image (windows xp), buy a Windows 7, 64bit upgrade retail DVD and upgrade windows xp to windows 7 for which there are drivers for my motherboard.
1) Can I use windows xp retail (whose product key has already been used to upgrade to win8) image to upgrade to windows 7 retail? will the activation of windows 7 succeed? I want to use clean install again since i upgrade from 32bit to 64bit
2) If the answer to question 1 is a yes, how does microsoft prevent users from using the same windows image file to upgrade different pc's? I mean, theoretically, I can make an image of pc1, copy it to a hard drive of pc2 (even if it will result in erroneous installation due to different specs) and upgrade both systems by using two VUP product keys which are cheaper than one VUP + one retail product keys
3) Can I use windows 8 upgrade DVD which is not used any more to upgrade another PC?

I purchased Windows 7 Professional through the Ultimate Steal.
Downloaded it, put it on a disk also.
It will go through the start of the setup and copy files etc, and then it will give an error and say to install from a current version of windows I need to use the upgrade anytim through windows.
But when I go to upgrade anytime it asks for an upgrade key, but all I have with the purchase was a product key and it says that I can't use the product key.
any help?
edit: also i have windows 7 home premium installed right now
and here is exactly what it says:
"To upgrade from one edition of Windows 7 to another edition of Windows 7, use Windows Anytime Upgrade. Cancel the upgrade, open the Start menu, and search for Windows Anytime Upgrade. "

My computer recently broke, would stop on a blue screen saying UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME, if I ran safe mode it would stop at classpnp.sys however now after switching SATA to compatability mode it allowed me to use startup repair and after about 2 hours of startup repair the computer has managed to boot. It got to the login screen but I could not click on my profiles, then after 10 minutes the profiles disappeared and after another 10 minutes they reappeared and I could click on them. I entered my password and now it has been stuck on a screen just saying welcome with the spinning loading symbol and has been stuck for about an hour.

Somehow at MicroCenter when I picked up a handful of spinpoint drives I accidentally grabbed 4 spinpoint f3 drives series "J" and a 5th one which in the same pile, was one of the ecogreen drives. I'm using clonezilla to get my OS from the green drive to one of the F3 drives, but Clonezilla (partclone) is stuck at 100%. Does this mean there are bad parts on the source drive? If so, should I check the option in clonezilla to keep scanning if it encounters a bad sector? Is the computer waiting for me to just restart it?

I am using 64-bit Windows 7, an LG W2363D monitor and an Nvidia GTX 560 ti. The monitor is connected using a DVI to DVI cable.I have had this computer for about a month, running fine at 1920x1080 resolution.However suddenly the resolution has dropped down to something very low, I think this was after some updates.Going into control panel or the Nvidia control panel, the computer still says that it is at 1920x1080 but this is obviously not true.It has been stuck at this low resolution for 2 days now.

For over a month our HP Compac Presario CQ57 displayed that our Windows 7 might not be genuine. Hence, the computer keeps crashing. This morning the computer crashed and would not come back on again. The computer is stuck on Welcome. I finally got back into the computer and put a product key number, which I took from my other new computer, and it stated that the PN was accepted. However, we are still having the same problem. It will not start in Safe Mode, it will not work if we do a repair, because it asks for a cd, which we did not get with our computer. What can we do get our computer to go past the welcome screen?

I am having a problem with my new HP desktop Win 7 pro, 3.3 ghz i5 sandy bridge, 8gb ram. I own the machine since about 3 month, in the beginning I was delighted with the speed, then gradually performance decreased (as with it has with all widosw machines I have owned) the last couple of days it has been getting stuck hopelessly while I was working with lightroom and photoshop (things I need for my job) and today I finally had enough and started scanning for malware. All scans returned negative so I thought I'll get rid of some of the software I don't need, I deinstalled an expired trial for Acrobat, after that the machine di not want to start up properly anymore (It would not load all programs on start up and never get to load the sidebar apps) so I went into a software I have called ccleaner and deactivated some start up programs I thought could be the cause (can't remember exactly which ones but mainly adobe updtaer and alike) It only made things worth, nowmost of the times I start up after entering the user password the screen stays black, sometimes it loads the desktop but many of the software icons in the start mennu are not loaded, If I use shortcuts like ctrl+Alt+shift to bring up the task manager it returns an erros message(this has actually been happening for a while in a couple of occasions, just now I tried to bring up the control panel.

Earlier today my second GTX 680 came in the mail. I opened up my PC to install it and after putting it in and attempting to boot my PC it gets stuck while loading windows. I tried safe mode and it got stuck on classpnp.sys. I've attempted removing my second 680, my SSD, put in a boot CD. Nothing seems to be working.

I'm considering whether to upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7. IMHO, the new OS seems to be not sufficiently "mature" yet, and it is better to wait for the first service pack to come out before actually upgrading.

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T400 with Windows 7 32 bit.When I got home today and wanted to turn my laptop on, I couldn't get past the startup screen, displaying the thinkpad welcome message. I have tried pressing the ThinkVantage button, and all the f buttons, esc, delete, nothing works.I have also tried inserting my Windows disc into the disc drive but that does nothing either.

I can only access my main computer running windows 7 64 bit in safe mode + networking - normal access gets stuck on welcome screen after entering password just prior to loading desktop. In safe mode looking at icon notification (show hidden icons) I saw windows update stating 'is downloading updates (71% complete) (whatever I have done 71% remains constant) running windows update troubleshooter finds problems I get two lines of results both saying 'Repair Windows update components Not fixed. I Have tried previous good configuration, system restore, (to 2 days ago prior to a windows update installation) and disabling windows update service. none of these have made any difference still stuck on welcome screen if I do normal start up. Also nothing happens when I try to run windows update from Start and All Programs, no error message just nothing
