W7 only booting with DVD
I did not know where to post it, but since I guess the problem is related to the setup and installation process I'll leave it here, feel free to move the thread though.
I downloaded W7 from DigitalRiver, made a bootable .iso, burned it and started the setup. I then formatted C: where Vista was located and had W7 installed onto C:.
It works perfectly with the DVD inserted, but whenever I try to boot without the DVD the Bios says something like:
file:/windows/system32/winload.exe
status: 0xc0000428
Info: windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file
What I did now was to go to the setup and open up a command line and then I did chdsk /R which said the partition was NTFS, could not be locked and that it was read only.
Then I did ScanOs which gave me 0 installations found. Afterwards FixMbr and FixBoot which were "completed successfully" and last but not least RebuildBCD which said 0 was fixed but it was again completed successfully.
Long story short, nothing has changed. Still the same error.
Plus: After that message in the bios I can press either esc or enter. Enter will then get me another screen where I can choose the OS I'd like to boot and it only says Windows Vista there but that selection takes me back to the initial "digital signature blabla" screen.
So .... is there still a little part of Vista left somewhere that messes up the boot process or what's up?
