Windows Won't Load After HDD Install
Jun 23, 2012
I loaded a sata drive in an empty slot (its an old drive out of my prior computer which has stuff on it that I want to get), hooked it up and started the computer and now it won't load windows, its not the bootable drive either, the windows logo shows up and it just sits there, granted I didn't wait 20mins or something but why would it stall. I did a hard power off and tried to launch safe mode startup repair and nothing, the green bar just keeps moving across but nothing ever loads? or is it supposed to take forever Should I just take the drive out and get an external enclosure like I originally planned or have I now screwed up the main drive and windows?

I just can't get the OS installed. I can install 32 bit, but I can't even load a 64 bit DVD. I get the error 0xc0000225, and it says it may be a hardware issue. Then it just keeps boot looping. Also, I can only install 32 bit windows with IOAPIC off.
Here are the parts for my system:
MSI 760GM-P34(FX) AM3+ AMD 760G Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb 3.4GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor HDZ965FBGMBOX
CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9R
GIGABYTE GV-R667D3-1GI Radeon HD 6670 1GB 128-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card
Western Digital WD Blue WD5000AAKX 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive
I have been Googling this issue for the past three days with no luck. I only have one stick of RAM inserted. I have taken out the graphics card. So I only have the essential parts installed.

I have a new desktop running win 7 64bit pro. After doing a fresh install the only thing I did was remove the trial version of Norton AV. Now many pages will not load in either IE9 or chrome. Some pages load but when you try to click on links. Our other laptops on my network can browse the internet without any problems. Pages that load on them will not load on this new desktop.
The desktop is connect to the network via ethernet cable.
I've been able to download and receive windows updates. I was able to download google chrome. I can get to Google but I when I click on the links the pages will not load, it just sets there and never gives me any error.

It's time for me to change HDD. I wanto to go for a fresh Windows 7 x64ultimate instal. Now, I wonder, Can I backup and load something like "control panel settings"? That way I could load them after. On the new Windows 7 installation. Something like:
1) Backup settings
2) Change HDD
3) Mount new HDD
4) Fresh install
5) Load settings.

I dont know if this is posted in the right area but I'm so desperate to get my laptop working its unreal. First it started off with my laptop crashing, I had totally forgot it needed to do a windows update and turned off my laptop in hopes that it would work properly. After that my laptop has not been working. The machine turns on and gives me two options. Start windows normally or do a repair. Upon starting windows normally, it loads so far before sending me back to the two options of start windows normally or repair. On the second time I clicked repair. My laptop then goes so far before presenting me with a blue screen that is usually the screen where my accounts are. The cursor still moves but it loads no further even after leaving it an hour. I decided to make a repair disk, hoping that the problem was because of windows. the disk loads, gives me a choice on the keyboard language then does nothing. I honestly have no idea what to do, I want to keep all the files safe on my computer as I havent backed them up and I have worked so hard on the projects.

i bought a wiped comp on ebay, it's a dell latitude d800. it originally had xp on it, i'm trying to boot win 7 ultimate. problem is it has not been partitioned at all, when i turn it on it says "no boot sector on hard disk", then "no bootable devices--strike f1 to retry boot, f2 for setup utility" i tried going straight to the boot menu on startup and loading from the dvd drive, but it is saying the same message as before.

I have a two year old Dell PC with Windows 7. I got a virus in my computer that by phone and computer takeover Norton located in my MBR. When they cleaned it my computer will no longer boot up. Norton worked with me for three days on the problem but we were unable to fix the computer. I followed other web sites and repaired my MBR but it still will not boot up. I tried System Repair, Check point, Image, and Dell system restore and all failed. I have tried to use the Windows install CD and all I get is a black screen with a flashing cursor and then after 3 minutes the compute attempts to boot again and fails. I tried everything to try and wipe the drive from C prompt and it will not let me. I have very weak computer skills but I can follow directions and I have wiped a previous computer I owned. (I confirmed that my CD drive is working) I also should mention I have a second hard drive on my computer that I backed everything up to.

my daughter has a two year old Toshiba Satellite laptop, AMD, Windows 7 64 bit. (I don't know all the specs to her machine) Windows will not load.Gives me two options at start up, normal or Repair start up, I have tried.both, normal brings me back to the same menu, so then I check repair, itruns through to the windows loading, then goes to a blank screen with the cursor.When she got this pc I created 4 recovery discs from the start menu the.4th one I have labelled Recovery Environment 64 bit. Can anyone guide me here?If her hard drive was fried would I still get the Windows starting up menu?I have never tried to repair a laptop, have done it a quite few times on my.desktops, but am at a loss since there are no messages at all during start up.Okay, I have tried using the disks, the first one seemed to run through,then I had to shut system off and put the 2 and 3rd recovery disk in, but this is part of the message I received when I tried to run those disks.Intel UNDI, PXE-2.1 (build 002)This product is covered by on or more of the following.PXE Rom the same message seemed to fill the screen - looks to me a failed drive?How do I check that? When I went into the Bios it seemed surprisingly limited (sparse) , not sure if it said hard drive or not Can I fix this without taking it to a shop? and if I had to buy another HD.for the laptop is the Windows 7 OS on those 4 recovery discs I made or will I have to buy another licence?

I am about to buy a new desktop and notice that most of them now come with Windows 7 Home Premium. I was wondering if it's possible to load Windows 7 Pro? My CD of 7 pro is 32 bit version. Will it be compatible with a 64 bit machine?

I have tried 5 times to load Windows 7 Service Pack 1 and each time it fails. I have made sure there is enough disk space, updated the drivers & run cCleaner registry check - all to no avail.I have also explored the Microsoft suggestions for the failure to load. It would appear that it might be caused by the Background Intelligent Transfer Service as this doesn't start. It won't start if you access it manually through the control panel either.

I'm in the process of acquiring the parts to build a new PC and was kicking around the idea of how I want to load windows 7, my programs and files and such? I was thinking about buying two different hard drives, one smaller one (250GB or smaller) and one bigger (maybe 2TB). I would use the smaller hard drive to only load the operating system on and the other hard drive would be used to load all my programs, files, emails and such on.I'm thinking that by having the OS only on one drive it would be easier to recover from should I have another hard drive failure on the drive the OS is loaded on. Same for the programs, files etc.. should that disk develop a problem down the road it would make it much easier to recover from if everything was on a separate disk than the OS?I eventually plan on building a small server for my home network that would be used to run a network that consists of 1 server, 2 Pc's , 1 laptop, 2 Netbooks, several smart phones and 1 centralized laser printer that everyone can print from.

cant get windows to load normally, nor in safe mode and i cant even get into system restore, it loads then there is a quick blue screen and then restarts on its own.... i have a 1TB HD in 4 partitions i can only see the C drive listed and it says 132 out of 931 free which makes sense with all the data on all 4 parts......i took the HD and used an enclosure but the i cant get the D to recognize anywhere......i was thinking maybe using the Combo fix on the boot up might work??

I was turning on my laptop but realised i had to be somewhere else at that time and needed to leave so in a silly rush i just as it was loading i held the power button so it shut down (I know that is a terrible thing to do but was in a rush and wasnt thinking clearly) and now when i turn it on it load but it gets the screen that is all black with only the mouse cursor showing and stops there and does not load to the log in screen. Anyway to fix this without a fresh install as i have documents on there i really cant afford to lose.

I just changed my CMOS Battery and put the date and time back in the BIOS and now when i get past the POST screen it goes to a "A recent hardware has been changed, click on diagnostic and fix" something like that. so i did that and it goes and checks and comes back saying failed. now i try just clicking on "Start Windows Manually" and the windows 7 icon pops up with 2 little dots then freezes and reboots my pc back to the BIOS. i did a diagnostic from the BIOS and it says my Memory and hard drive is OK.
