My Win 7 Ultimate does not boot beyond the LOGO sign. It stops at the "Black" screen with the mouse pointer.
OEM-CD repair options does NOT fix it. In fact after running the "Repair" it says ...could not find anything wrong with it. Please advise. Thank you.
I'm sure you'll get additional help but, how long have you waited when it gets to that point?
Does not boot into Safe mode. Gets stuck half way. It is Win 7 Ultimate
Last known good config does not help.
This is a SATA Seagate 500GB HD.
Yes I have IDE HD connected but NOT powered. When powered the IDE HD boots FINE.
Tried fixing it again with OEM-CD Win7 Home Premium ….repair option cannot find anything wrong. CD boots fine.000000f
Win 7 Ultimate OEM-CD does NOT install all the way....gets stuck I/O error....Code Oxc000000f...file \BOOT\BCD
I don' want to re-install Windows, I want to fix this installation.
Tried Tenorshare-windows-boot-genius and Restoro.exe but these CDs do NOT boot as claimed.
Other repair options like Re-Image, Advance System Repair are USELESS because they DO NOT Boot the computer and have to be installed in a "working+ computer !!
Does the repair disc you're using have an option that lets you open a command prompt?
Yes, did CHKDSK atleast x5/6 ...OK, no problem.
Yes, repair disk (OEM) has command prompt. Tried all...bootrec /FIXMBR, FIXBOOT, ScanOs, rebuildBCD….
and nothing fixed the stall.
I would be tempted to delete the bcd store, then run startup repair a couple or three times to let it create a fresh one and populate the entries.
Or delete the bcd store, then use bcdboot command.
You can use this boot media so you can see what you are doing:
17514x86.iso
17514x64-v10.iso
I am a novice. I am learning on my son's OLD computer how to fix an issue.
This computer has Win7 Ultimate on IDE and SATA drives. IDE works 100%. SATA used to work 100% but now stalls after the Logo sign. Disconnecting IDE made no difference. Boots with OEM-Win7 Home Premium CD and a Win7 repair CD 100% but now, booting with OEM-Win7 Ultimate CD loads only half way and I get "I/O error". It used to load 100% but not now.
Whatever is causing a problem with Win7 Ultimate CD is perhaps causing the problem with the SATA drive loading Win7 Ultimate.
Need help to figure this out. Thank you.
