Install Failure When Booting From HDD First Time It Crashes
I tried to install RC1 64Bit on a clean hard disk. It all seemed fine, got trough copy/expand files. Then it boots from hdd for the first time and tells me something about registry settings... and then it crashes, just like a reboot. Next time the boot manager goes up telling me that windows didnt shutdown/boot correctly. When I choose normal boot, it will just crash again (nice boot-crash-loop). When I choose safe mode i can get to desktop gui but a popup tells me that setup cannot finish in safe mode...
If formatted the hdd, disconnected all other drives/usb stuff. Updated BIOS to latest. Checked BIOS settings, played around with disabling/enabling onboard audio etc. No luck, several installs, all failed with the same problem. Sad that I dont get any error msg or blue screen/bug check. I also ran windows memory diagnostics - no problems. XP run's fine and now i installed Vista 64Bit, that worked.

TPM And Bitlocker - Install W7 From Backup After HDD Failure
Im having trouble finding out what to do when using bitlocker and TPM in the event of a main Hard Drive failure. I have a mobo with TPM chip (Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P). I will have one 500GB harddrive, and have another 500GB harddrive to use for backup. If the main HD fails for some reason and I have to buy a new HD, would this require: 1) Installing W7 from installation CD onto new HD? (Assuming yes,...then: 2) after installing W7 onto new HD, would backup be able to be restored to new W7 HD when previously encrypted? --OR-- 3) Is it possible to buy a new HD and simply use the backup HD to restore everything to the new HD when previously encrypted? ---OR--- 4) am i totally screwed to recover backup data when encrypted and my main HD fails?

Long Time Booting Up
I'm having problem with Windows 7 on my laptop. I had beta version up to recently because I didn't use it much, but few days ago I decided to install retail version which I also have on my PC, so I know that dvd works. It's 64bit(beta version was too) and my laptop can handle it. MSI Gx620. Now problem is, when I install it all goes well, but then it gets to Loading Windows screen, with 4 part logo that flashes and just stands there, for like 20 minutes. And then boots up and all is fine! In beta version I didn't have that problem. I tried booting up in safe mode and it was stuck again for long time on this thing: CLASSPNP.SYS I did full format and fresh install every time. I tested 2 Vista's I had, 1 worked fine, the other one had same problem. I tried repair and it was doing it for very very long time and finnaly said that it cant be done automatic and check online with this in details: Problem signature: Problem Event name : StartupRepairOffline Problem Signature 01: 6.1.7600.16385 Problem Signature 02: 6.1.7600.16385 Problem Signature 03: unknown Problem Signature 04: 0 Problem Signature 05: AutoFailover Problem Signature 06: 1 Problem Signature 07: NoRootCause POS Version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.256.1 Locale ID: 1033 At event viewer it says like 4.20 windows start up, 4:30 starts loading some applications. and 10 min gap between it. I am going to try to update bios with newest version from site as soon as I manage to boot from USB, for some reason it won't boot up(says missing ntldr) and will post if that fixes it. Please tell me what to do or try, maybe if it hardware fault I can send it back to service to get it fixed but first gotta find out whats the problem.

Booting Time, On Loading Screen
on first install of windows 7 (and XP when I was using it) the comp ran fine booted in less than 30secs, but over the couple of weeks it just keeps getting slower and slower now it can take anywhere between 3-5min. once it has booted to windows log on screen it takes all of a secound to load. I built my and my brothers comps, there both using the same Mobo/CPU I have 4GB (he has 2GB) but his computer boots faster than mine. no problems once the comp has started apart from certain settings wont save like where I leave my Icons on DT, and screens staying maximized. would give boot log but cant remember how to get it...

Os 7 Dvd Install Failure
ISSUE: GRMCULXFRER_EN_DVD FAILED ON 64 BIT MACHINE USING DVDISO extracted on 64 bit machine burnt at 1X speed (No Joy) ISO extracted on 32 bit machine burnt at 1X speed (No Joy) Boot priority set as CD/DVD 1 Using ISO MAGIC and burning on Memorex DVD Media at 1X speed See system Specs Failure point is missing CD/DVD driver BD ROM is Lite-On HD 101 Original install is OS 7 RC-1 7100 build Attempting complete install Attempted DVD and Virtual Drive w/Virtual_Clone Narrative: I attempted to install the latest RTM release. I assumed that this would be easy as RC-1 was a breeze. Installing RC-1 I used the ISO extract to DVD at Slow Speed, did the same procedure here. In BIOS I made the boot priority the CD/DVD drive as primary. I inserted my media into the BD drive and saw the prompt: " Touch any Key to boot fromCD". Did that. The Media began to initialise but it was extremely slow, 3-4 minutes. The screen with company mast and working bars took a few minutes. After that the wallpaper came up with a mouse pointer. I was able to move the mouse around and after another few minutes I saw the Logo screen with Language and keyboard US. The Windows Install Prompt was next and I executed the install. After a few more minutes I see the "SET UP STARTING". After a few more minutes I get a new screen w/"Load Driver".Required driver for CD/DVD is missing. The installer scanned the media disc but there was no driver to be found. I uploaded 2 images for everyone to see. Is any forum member here have a work around? I attempted to install my drivers from my sys_32 folders from a thumb drive but no joy. Since RC-7 was such a snap I assumed this install would be as easy also.

Hard Drive Failure After Fresh Install
I have just bought a brand new hard drive due to my last ones controller failed. Western Digital Caviar Black 500gb So the problem, Did a fresh install of win 7 (Build 7229) two nights ago, all installed perfectly, next day (yesterday) went to boot up pc and had the dos error message - Disk boot failure, please insert system disk and press enter. My first impression was it may have been an install failure, so i formatted the hard drive and reinstalled. shutdown the PC and rebooted up and i had the same error message, now after this, i got my failed hard drive out and after a lot of faffing around, BIOS found it and it gave me the same error message. Can anyone tell me what the problem might be. I have tried Windows startup repair, did not fix. BIOS settings are First boot device is Hard drive second boot device is CD-ROM (I have even swapped these around to boot from windows 7 and it just starts the setup procedure of installing windows drivers) I have even set boot order of HDDs so my main windows HDD is up top. Anyone got any clues.

Clean Install New HDD
I've purchased and downloaded the UPGRADE 64-bit version of Windows 7. I have a blank HDD waiting to go into my machine. Am i able to just do a clean install of this straight onto the new HDD, or do i need the full retail version of this? I'm currently using XP Pro 32-bit on my existing HDD, hence getting a new one in preparation.

How To Do Fresh Install On New HDD ?
My work machine's HDD is on its way out. It currently has XP Pro x86 on it. I got a fresh new HDD and upgrade version of Win7 x64 Pro. I booted from the Win7 x64 disc, it went through its whole install thing on the new HDD, and then when it got to the product key, it wouldn't accept the one that came in the box. I read on the web that upgrade versions must have XP or Vista already installed for it to work. But, the 7 documentation says I have to do a Custom install if I'm upgrading from XP. A custom installation deletes whatever is on the partition, I think. So how can it work when upgrading from XP? I have actually gone back and installed XP on the new HDD (that had its own share of problems, couldn't even get the internet connection working), and now trying to do a custom installation of 7 again. When it gets to the product key section, should I put in my original XP product key? Or will the 7 product key work this time?

Install Multiple HDD
So I currently have the RC version of Windows 7 installed and I purchased Win 7 ultimate and wish to do a clean install. I have 3 HDDs, my main one which Win 7 is installed on now, another one that has nothing on it and another one which stores my media, and will have all my stuff backed up on from my main drive. When I install windows 7 on my main HDD I will be formating it so everything is gone, once installed again will Windows 7 be able to see my other HDDs with all my files on them. Or will the other HDDs need to be formated for them to been seen. That is my only problem, I am hoping that they will just be the same they are now, but I am confused because the windows 7 now knows the other HDDs as drive F and E, when it is reformatted I am not sure what will happen.

Clean Install HDD Partition Size ?
I did a new build in Dec last year with Vista Ultimate on a WD 300 GB rapture drive. I partitioned the HD to 60 GB for the "C" drive thinking that I would not install "any" applications on the "C" drive. I would put the apps on the other partitions or another drive altogether. Games on the rapture drive, office productivity apps on another drive. Apparently, some apps don't give the option to install anywhere else but the C drive. I can accept that but wish I had known that before partitioning. I also created a "shared" folder on the desktop for moving large files from one networked PC to another. Well it didn't take long before the "C" drive was full. Raw Digital audio files are rather large and attempting to transfer files from one PC to the Vista Ult. PC choked the C drive. In my next build I'm thinking it may be better to not partition the "C" drive at all. Give the operating system all 300 GB - room to breath for updates, etc. Does anyone have any words of wisdom, thoughts, comments?

Win7 Won't Boot After Install Without DVD Using 2 HDD
So, I have an interesting problem with installing Win 7 from XP. I'm doing a full install over the old XP drive. I have an unusual hardware configuration. I have 2 HDD's, one is SATA, and the other is on a legacy IDE. The SATA drive is a WD Raptor which I use for the OS and the IDE is a slower, larger drive I use for storing data. Additionally, the IDE drive is the Slave on the IDE chain. In XP, this worked great, because the system would boot to the SATA drive and I could use both drives. When I went to install 7, both drives appear in the list, but their letter names were reversed: the OS drive was listed as "D" and the data drive was listed as "C". I didn't think much of it until later. I installed on "D" which was the SATA drive. After install, I noticed that my IDE drive wasn't listed in file explorer. So I opened the Disk Manager and found that both drives were listed, but only the install disk was active. However, the IDE drive was Disk 0, and the SATA drive was Disk 1 and labeled "C:". I activated the IDE drive and it became "E:" (the DVD-ROM was already "D:"). I attempted to reboot and got an error "BOOTMGR is missing". If I put in the Win 7 install DVD it will boot to the SATA drive. I read some of the other threads here and attempted fixes using "bootrec.exe" to no avail. I finally decided to reinstall again on the SATA drive. Again, 7 listed the SATA drive as Disk 1/"C:", and the IDE drive as Disk 0/(no letter). This time, I didn't activate the IDE drive and tried to reboot. New message "No system disk...". Put in the Win 7 DVD and it boots to the SATA drive. My current theory is that Windows 7 is getting confused about the drive ordering when creating the boot sector on the drives. I ran out of time last night, but I thought I would unplug the IDE drive and do a fresh install on the SATA drive, then plug in the IDE drive after things were booting normally. I did check the BIOS settings, and the SATA drive is listed first in the boot order. ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe AMD 4200+ CPU OCZ 4GB RAM (IDE) Hitachi 320GB (SATA) WD Raptor 120GB nVidia 7600GT Can someone offer some advice on how to solve this so I don't need the Win 7 DVD in all the time?

Cannot Install Win7 RC, Crashes And Restarts Continuously After First Reboot
I have an ASUS M2N68-VM MB with 4GB Ram and a 1TB HD. I have attempted to install Windows 7 64bit RC bit which I downloaded 2 days ago.Windows gets thru the install process, then re-boots the PC for the first time.During the first reboot, I get the the "Windows" screen where the red/green/blue balls move around, then the PC reset and Restarts. It will continue to do that infinitum.If I try and go to "Safe Mode" windows says it has not finished installed yet and will not let me.The PC was running Unbutu up until now, and has been a stable box working as a Video Server. Nothing wrong with the hardware.Â

Samsung Vista GDI Driver Install Crashes
I have a nice Samsung ML4500. Not that new, but then I don't use my printer very much. But it is useful at times. So... I have the Vista ML4500 GDI driver installation package for it. I run it by right clicking in compatibility mode.I've done this three times now. The first two times, it crashed my machine dead as soon as the Samsung splash screen appeared. Video broke up, screen blanked and then only a hard reset fixed it.Third time, despite same compatibility mode operation, the Samsung installer just tells me that the driver is incompatible with this version of windows. Unfortunately, since it's a prepacked installation in an exe file, I can't get at any of the real files, inf, sys etc to see if I can by pass the installer's front end.I've also tried the Vista GDI drivers for other similiar models, which give me similar results. If anyone has any ideas on how to resolve this, other than approaching Samsung which I think is likely to prove unproductive, I'd love to hear from them! Edit: now, from another post, realised how I can unpack the driver set from the installer. I've done this, but the raw setup.exe still crashes win 7... I've now also tried the right click on the inf file in the Vista 64 subdir of the install package, but it tells me this method of installation is unsupported.

Different Errors Every Time When Trying To Install Win 7
I am experiencing different problems when trying to install Windows 7 One is. During "Loading windows..." i get a bluescreen saying "UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME" Another is. I got into the installation program but immediately i get the error dialog: "The exception unknown software exception (0xe0000100) occurred in the application at location 0x75e59617" Last time I tried several times, and got messages like UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME several times, and sometimes got something similar to mboot.dll being corrupted or some such.. The 2nd out of a total of 3 attempts I made right now actually got me into the installation process, I was able to do everything until I got to the partition format/selection step, at which point I decided to abort at my own discretion, because I'm paranoid about winding up with an unbootable, uninstallable disk partition... Any help would be appreciated. The only way I see this being "fixed", is by buying another disk to use specifically for Win7, and then formatting my current OS partition after successfully installing on that...

Booting From Win7 Install CD Freezes
When I boot from the Windows 7 install CD, it loads the Windows logo, gets to the blue screen with "Beta 7000" in the bottom right corner, and the mouse (rather large cursor) shows up on the screen. But that's it, it stays there frozen, DVD not being accessed. I tried re-downloading the beta and re-burning to a new DVD, but same result. Any ideas?

Clean Install Vs. Booting From DVD
So my harddrive crashed on Thursday unfortunately right after I downloaded the student upgrade (Premium). Luckily, I did burn all 3 of the downloaded files to a data dvd disc (I didn't know how to make an .iso at the time), so I have not lost them. My question is, when I reinstall Vista on my new harddrive and then move the 3 windows 7 files to my desktop, will doing a clean install from inside windows be as efficient as if I made an .iso into a DVD and then booted from that DVD after restarting? I know in the past when I have restarted the computer and booted from a DVD that it has given me the option to format the drive etc, but will doing a clean install from inside Windows erase just as much old vista junk?
