Hello, I just got a new laptop and im trying to put windows 7 on it. 64bit. Everything goes well until it goes to first boot up. When it goes to first boot up after that display of weird lights on the bottom. It restarts it self and then goes to boot though vista, Which isn't there any more cause i wanted to format to get rid of blotter where. After it boots though vista it goes to a grey screen then all of a sudden a ERROR comes up in what looks like a text document.
Over top of that it says Can not open file C:\RECOVERY.DAT.

I hope you guys can help!

All of my systems still run fastest on XP 32-bit for the most part. Win7 is fun to play with, but I still prefer XP for raw speed, security, and functionality.

your boot menu is messed up. There shouldn't be an entry for Vista at all. Even so, there should be an entry for Windows 7. Select it.

I did a search on google and people are getting Windows 7 to run on that laptop so at least we know Windows 7 supports it. Maybe try the 32-bit version.

Orbital is talking about booting from the DVD. It has to work, you've already done it to install Windows 7.

How though? It says i have nothing on it anymore. This is so sucky. I just got this laptop 2 days ago. I've put windows on lots of comps this is just so confusing

Do you have a DVD with Windows 7 on it? You must have. With it in the drive when booting you should get a message saying 'Press any key to boot from CD/DVD...', you only have about 4 seconds to make a choice so just press a key when it appears.

If you haven't got a DVD then how did you install Windows 7 in the first place?

put in the Win7 DVD, reboot

go into the BIOS and make the cd/dvd drive the first boot device

or press ESC just after you turn the computer on and then select cd/dvd from the menu.

I've never quite trusted the repair install option in Win 7. Im sure that it works just fine, but there's always that niggling possibility in the back of my head.. I would rather do a clean re-install and eliminate all doubt ... opinions and mileage will vary ...

still epic failing

I use the on dvd repair feature not the vista one. and this is the 3rd clean reinstall. if i fudge it by it telling im going to restort option then cancel back it will let me use the repair feature, i have gotten it to run but i still cant get to boot as windoss 7. It keeps wanting to boot as a vista os. I thought that maybe the installer wasnt fully formating the drive and maybe leaving something behind. So i tried using my windows xp disk to formate my hard drive. but when i hit enter it tells me that it cant find the hard drive.
