Windows 7 problem after finishing install SOLVED!!!
Hello there, I´ve been having a problem installing Windows 7.
I have a Gateway P6860 FX, Windows Vista Home Premium 64x, that has its own RECOVERY Partition.
The thing is, when I try to upgrade from Vista it tells me I cannot upgrade from 32 to 64x (although I have a 64x Vista) so I proceed to do a Custom Installation.
Everything goes perfect until the very end. When it gives me the "Welcome" sign, it shuts down and reboots, but it always reboot on my Recovery System, as if the C: system where Windows 7 actually is, didn´t exist. My only option after that is re-.install the "factory image".
If I try a Startup Repair, it recognizes the WIndows 7 installation but doesn´t fix anything. I´ve tried everything, upgrade, fresh installation, format, all!! and nothing, it does the same exact thing every time.
It seems like it doesn´t write the Boot configuration at the very end!!!
Any thoughts?
My config is:
Gateway P6860 FX
Intel Core 2 Duo T5550 / 1.83 GHz
4.0 GB RAM DDR2 SDRAM - 667.0 MHz
320.0 GB - Serial ATA-300 - 5400.0 rpm
DVD±RW (±R DL) / DVD-RAM Labelflash Technology
17.0 in TFT active matrix 1440 x 900 ( WXGA+ )
NVIDIA GeForce 8800M GTS
Thank you guys!!
