Can't Boot Windows 7 After An Install Of Fedora 16
Apr 2, 2012
I cant boot windows 7 after an install of Fedora 16. Grub2 shows both Windows 7 and Windows Recovery Environment. Neither of which work. When windows tries to boot up, i get an error of 0xc0000225. Windows repair disk cant find the original OS installed, and looking for the driver is giving me a migrane. I have tried repairing the startup with no avail, i have tried using Ultimate Boot CD but that thing just confuses me.

I'm thinking of dual booting Windows 7 with Fedora 15. I had the installer of Fedora 15 in my freshly reformatted USB flashdrive and used LiveUSB Creator to convert Fedora 15's ISO to a bootable installer in my USB flashdrive. I also had already set the BIOS to boot first the removable media followed by the DVD drive. The trouble is, the Fedora 15 won't boot after resetting the PC. How do I make the USB Flashdrive boot up the installer for this OS?

dual booting windows 7 home premium x64 with linux fedora 14 on dual independantly dedicated drives. i am a college student with moderate computer (windows) knowledge but am doing software development and would like to play around with some linux for a class. i have no prior experience with linux and have minimal knowledge of operation. i am currently running windows 7 and would like to keep it as my primary os. i do not wish to share media files across drives or os's, windows does that just fine as is and i dont want to get into a third drive. my current drive is a 1tb wd black caviar hdd. it is also currently 2/3rds full and the desktop is about 6 months old so i would rather not partition the drive for a dual boot. i would think that there are some other advantages for the os's operating independantly off their own drives other than if one hdd dies i should still have the other with its os still ok. i have read some topics about RAID configs with dual boot setups with dual drives like this but am not very familiar with RAID. is there a RAID config that would be beneficial in this situation? i currently do not have a RAID card. my tower internals are not very accessible and i dont like the idea of disconnecting drives depending on which os i want to operate.

A while ago, I installed Fedora 13 on my Windows Virtual PC with the help of an online guide that I cannot seem to find anymore.So, it DOES work, despite a few different threads out there trying to convince you that VirtualBox in the way to go.Now I'm trying to install Fedora 15, the current version. I'm sure Fedora 16 will be out in a couple of weeks, but I don't think that will make a difference.I did find this link, but it isn't the same. The old one I speak of had a setup guide in it and also showed you how to install a few applications so that Fedora Linux is a pleasant Operating System to work in. This one only shows a setup guide for the basic OS and I believe how to get your network working.When I followed this guide, I saw a blueish screen with a 10 second count-down, indicating that Linux was booting up. I had to readjust my settings a bit (RAM, specifically), as Windows Virtual PC gave me a notification that I was low on system resources. I at first put at at 3GB, then lowered it to 1.25 GB of RAM. My system has 4 GB. Throughout my installation attempt, I was watching my computer's Resource Monitor. The RAM was never maxed out, and CPU usage is not an issue at all.Could the problem be that I'm downloading the wrong file? I remember the old link I used mentioned something about Fedora Live. The name of this file I'm using is Fedora-15-x86_64-Live-Desktop.iso. That obviously seems like a Live file, to me. Only difference, is, I'm using the 64-bit version, as opposed to the 32-bit version because I'm on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.

I installed Fedora on my system preinstalled with windows 7. Now during booting Windows 7 is not appearing. It is only showing Fedora. But it should show both the os and allow us to choose.

My system as followed:
Mobo gigabyte EP45-UD3R
CPU E6550
Ram Corsair ddr2 2GB bus 1066
VGA HD4850
HDD WD green 2tb (sparking new) + WD 500gb x 2 (1 year old)
PSU CoolerMaster 400w
The problem is: I cannot boot nor install new windows by any means, tried 4 different DVDs, none works. At first I thought the ram is at fault (heard multiple beeeps at POST screen) so I replace a new one (listed above) but it seem not to be the right solution.I have an ghost image of my laptop so I tried to restore it to my desktop, but it didn't work either.
PS: I can boot to miniXP by using Hiren's boot CD, check the disks and data inside, all seem just fine.

my computer won't even start up now. I am running Parallels 6.0 on my Macbook Pro and I have Windows 7 Ultimate installed. When I downloaded the Service Pack 1 update, everything was fine until I tried to reboot and my computer won't even get to the start page. When I boot it, it says to do a system restore, so I tried that. But afterwards it says it cannot be restored. So the other option is to start windows normally, so I tried that. Then it says it has an error after installing 140,000 of 320,000. I think the error code was c000009s or something like that. So my problem is that my computer won't even boot up so I can make changes to it. [code]

My computer boots fine when I have the Windows 7 install DVD in the drive, and it doesn't use the disc at all as far as I can tell - it says "Boot from CD:" then "Press any key to boot from CD/DVD.....". I do not press any key, then Windows boots just fine. If I do not have the DVD in the drive at startup, however, it gives me "Boot from CD:" then "DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER". If I do that, it boots fine like before. I tried advice from google results such as running the Startup Repair tool on the DVD 3 times (they said to do it 3 times...). It did not detect any problems, and didn't do anything. I also updated my BIOS, and the problem persists.
I think I have all the boot order stuff correct, but here are pictures just in case: [URL]
Also, here is a screenshot of my drives (ignore that uninitialized one, new drive that I haven't formatted yet): [URL]
On the above image, disk 3 (C is the SSD which I have Windows 7 installed on. Does this problem have something to do with Disk 1, is that System Reserved part supposed to be there? All the disks except 3 do not have any OS installed on them.
Lastly, here is my setup:
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
EVGA 131-GT-E767-TR LGA 1366 Intel X58 SLI 3
Intel Core i7-960 Bloomfield 3.2GHz 4 x 256KB L2 Cache 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Desktop Processor BX80601960
SAPPHIRE 100311-2SR Radeon HD 6970 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity

With this setup, W7 booted every time, with no dual boot menu appearing. If I pressed F12 during startup, I got to a boot menu where I could choose to boot either W7 or XP, with W7 being highlighted. However, this is how I want it to look like:At startup, the boot menu appears every time, with XP highlighted, and W7 as an alternative.

I am in the process of a Windows 7 reinstall but still want to keep data. So what I did was just reformat the hard drive into 2 partitions so I can transfer data over. Both of them have Windows 7 installed on them. The issue seems to be booting into which one, a small quirk I can't get around. If I boot the computer without the Win7 install disk it will use the old bootloader and boots into the old Windows 7, it won't let me select what I want to boot into (just old Win7). If I leave the Win7 install disk in it goes through and says "Press any key to boot from DVD or CD", then I don't press anything and let it time out. Then after it times out it will load from the hard drive, which causes it to load the new bootloader and obviously the new Windows 7 install. change the default bootloader to be the other partition?

After installing Win 7 ULT 32 and 64 several times
- I am able to install either 32 or 64 version as a first OS, but when trying to install it as a second OS on the SEPARATE PARTITION OF THE SAME SATA3 HD, it fails once the install starts at app 30 min to complete the install. Tried it several times and it always fails.
- XP Pro fails to install as either first or second OS (can not install it at all). It gives me blue screen.
When working with one OS only (either Win 7 32 or 64 ULT) all drivers install with no issues and system is stable so I assume my issues are not hardware related.
Here is hardware config:
- AMD 6 core 1920T
- SATA3 WD 1TB hard drive - Western Digitac Caviar Black WD1002FAEX 1TB 7200
- Sapphire HD 5770 Varor X video card
- 2x4GB of Kingston RAM
-Asus M4A89GTD Pro USB3 motherboard
-CoolMaster UAF920 case with 750W power supply (750GTX)

I've just tried twice to install Win7 Service Pack 1 on a relative's Acer desktop PC - which runs ZoneAlarm anti-virus, but has very little else apart from Word installed. Each time, the download and install process seemed to go OK; however, when the system rebooted, it displayed the Windows startup logo, but at the point where the logo goes away and you expect to see the mouse appear, it just froze with a blank grey screen. I left it for a while, but nothing happened. Eventually, I power-cycled the PC and an error message was displayed and a Windows boot selection was offered: Repair (recommended) or Start Normally.
Choosing 'Start Normally' repeated the boot and freeze sequence. Choosing 'Repair' started the startup repair procedure, which failed with 'The operating System is incompatible with Startup Repair'. Trying the 'Advanced Restore' procedure reported 'No restore points', although I had explicitly created one before the update, and the update itself creates one. I managed to fix it by running 'Startup Repair from the original Windows 7 installation DVD. The PC works fine now, but Service Pack 1 isn't installed. I have had to turn off automatic updates so that it won't get installed. Failing that, is there a way to disable the 'Service Pack 1' entry in 'Windows Updates' so that automatic updates can be enabled?

Another friend of mine bought a new Samsung laptop yesterday for her business and also bought Windows 7 Ultimate to use with it. She asked me to install it for her and I have done so, installed all drivers and doing one last restart before adding software, and now the machine will not boot up. It wont even get to the Windows boot up stage, simply restarts straight after the Samsung screen when turning the laptop on. I'm running a chkdsk now by booting up with the install disc. Is there anything I can do which won't need me to reinstall Windows?

I have a 60gb SSD and two 500gb HDD's. I want to use the SSD as a boot only drive, but I can't seem to figure out how to keep from loading it up with data that I don't want on it. I am wondering if there is a way to keep this from happening. Is there a way to install Windows 7 on the SSD and then sort of lock it up and direct everything else to the two HDD's?

Is there a way to install Windows 7 in a different folder than the default Windows and on a different partition than the boot. For example, I have XP installed on my Laptop that has 3 partitions C:, D:, E:. C: is my boot partition and D: is where I have XP install in directory D:OSWINXP and E: where applications are installed and data is store.
I like to install Windows 7 and have C: as the boot drive and install it on D: in the sub directory D:OSWindows or D:OSWindows 7.

I'm really having fits trying to dual boot a friends computer with xp home SP3 after windows 7 pro 64 bit. I slipstreamed all the drivers for his board (asus P8Z77 V LK) into the disc and xp disc gets to the point of choosing the partition to install on. The partition created using windows 7 does not show up. Just shows C disk (corsair nuetron ssd) as one partition having the entire space. None of the commands to create or delete the partition work. Booting back into 7 and going to disk manager shows the disk to be correct : 100 MB system reserved, then the partition for windows 7 as "C", then the 20GB partition XP as "D". I have read that windows XP needs the partition to be "active" in order to install but don't know if this is true. At this time the "D" partition is not active, the "C" partition is. Tried to do this with all other drives (two 1TB western digital HDD) disconnected but that didn't work either.

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.

I just got a new battery for my computer, because the old one died. When the old one died, it messed up the files on the hard drive. I used a windows xp pro installation disc to wipe the hard drive (or delete the partition), then set it as slave with another hard drive as master. Both hard drives are were wiped clean, nothing on them, and now the computer is actually running pretty fast. So, I tried to run the Windows 7 installation cd to install Windows 7 (Nyaha! Redundency!) to the new primary drive. Here's the problem. It won't boot the disc. I went to the BIOS and set it to boot the CD/ROM first, second, and last. It still won't boot the Windows 7 CD. Now, I have 3 CDs for Windows 7, my family has three different computers. I tried the 64 bit one, and the two 32 bit one's, but it will. Not. Work. It just does not boot any of them. It says "Boot Failure from Previous Device.
