Digital Signature Error oxc0000428
Hello, I'm new to this forum. Excuse me if this was posted before. I recently upgraded from Vista x32 to 7 x64. I'm getting the error stating, windows can't verify the digital signature for this file, winload.exe. status 0xc0000428. The computer will not boot unless I have the windows disk in the cd drive. THen, everything is ok. I tried just about everything that I found but, the same old thing. My question is, why does it boot to windows with the disk installed whereas the disk has the same files that were installed on my hard drive? I never had this issue with Vista. I even re installed win7 to see if that made a difference but it didn't. I tried bcdedit, bootrec, sfc /scannow, disable integrity checks, starting in safe mode, etc. If I keep the windows disk out, when booting, and after getting the error screen, it asks if I want to boot to Vista, which I don't even have. I deleted the windows.old folder. I have all the updates installed. Could this be a bug in windows 7 or is there something I'm missing. I'm willing to try anything. Thanks
