Fresh Installation not Booting

Hi Insoft and welcome to SF! :)
The error code indicates that the issue is related to file corruption. Just to add to what you have dont to fix this, most likely a Repair installation would take care of this problem.
You can also try to press F8 during the boot process and then select the option "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement"
Otherwise you should follow the repair steps to do a restore or to copy the file from a known good location.
If there are bad sectors on your hard disk, then running CHKDSK /R from the command prompt would also fix this as it did for you.
Let us know the results.
Hope that helps.

SSD / HDD : Optimize for Windows Reinstallation

Hello Insoft, welcome to Seven Forums!


If you are trying to install Windows 7 from the XP desktop, that may be why you're getting that specific error.

Do as has been suggested by theog and wipe secure erase the target HDD after you have backed-up everything you need to save, then boot the Windows 7 installation media to do a clean install I'm going to add the information below as you may find some of it useful.


Have a look at Step One of the Optimize tutorial below; after you have copied out or made back-ups of the data you need to save to external media, then boot the Windows 7 installation media to do the wipe secure erase to the HDD / SSD and be sure to post back with any further questions you may have and to keep us informed.

Whether you use diskpart to run either the clean all command to completely wipe a HDD / SSD or just the clean command to remove the format configuration data and don't use diskpart to create at least a single partition to do the installation to, letting the Windows installer do the format, the new Windows 7 System Reserved partition will be automatically issued, if you want to make your own decision whether this partition is added, study these two (2) options below.

• If you do not want to create the new Windows 7 "System Reserved" partition use the outline in Step Two #2 to create, format and mark Active a single 100GB partition to do the installation to.
• If you do want to create the "System Reserved" partition use the outline in Step Two #3 to create, format and mark Active the System Reserved partition and then create and format the 100GB partition to do the installation to.

Either way, running the clean all then creating and formatting the partition(s) using diskpart will get you the best possible space to do a clean install of Windows 7 to; you can always extend the Windows partition to include the remaining unallocated space on the HDD / SSD or create additional Primary partitions or an Extended partition after the installation completes if you choose.

I just tried restarting now it is CI.dll . I am using a CD from my company. We have a few unused licenses. I used the same disk for another computer and its working.

It sounds as a hardware issue...
Download Data Lifeguard Diagnostic for DOS (CD) to be sure.

I see you have two HDisks. Did you disconnect the one that was not the target (boot disk)? I always disconnect the extra disks until I get the OS installed. Did I say alsways? Yesterday I loaded one up and did not disconnect the extra disks and the install put the 100mb system partition on one disk and loaded the system files to the target. It done some really wierd things. I noticed the problem and unhooked every disk except the target cleaned it off and the load went great.
