Issue in upgrading Win 7 home to Ultimate after having classpnp.sys
Hi
Last week my windows 7 Home premium didnt go into login screen it just stayed in the logo screen for long, then i tried to go into safe mode where it stayed at 'classpnp.sys'. After browsing through sevenforums i found many have encountered the issue. Currently i dont have my recovery CD with me, so i decided to buy Windows Ultimate upgrade.
As mine is a dual boot system with ubuntu 11.10, i just restored my windows MBR using 'boot-repair' in ubuntu. After rebooting the system i found myself in the Window boot manager screen. Which is good.
Then i changed my boot option to boot from DVD, once i restarted my system, it asked
'Press any key to boot from CD or DVD'
i did. Then, a screen appears with message
'Windows is loading files..'
Once the status bar is full it went to Windows logo screen again. Similar to my initial problem, it just stayed in the logo screen!
Now i cannot go into Windows and to ubuntu either!!!!!!
I dont know what is happening and why my upgreade DVD didnt take me to the installation process. I would appreciate any suggestions/comments? Thanks.
