    Win7 not reaching login after replacing motherboard (identical)


    Hi everyone

    I've got a Dell Latitude e6520 which had a faulty motherboard (didn't show anything anymore on the screen). This has been replaced (by a Dell technician), but now I can't get into Windows anymore. Both normal and safe modes get stuck after the win logo. When the login screen should appear there is only a black screen with a movable mouse cursor.

    I have tried:
    - Waiting very long for the login screen to appear.
    - All possible safe modes.
    - Recovery option from Windows DVD.
    - chkdsk, sfc, ...

    The harddisk doesn't show any errors. Also it must be mentioned that the motherboard failed while working, so it's not like a dropped the laptop or anything like that which could have hurt both the motherboard and the hdd.

    The most interesting point I reached is starting up using Hiran's bootcd. This way I could take a look at the startup logs and found this:

    From then on all the "Did not load driver ..." lines keep repeating endlessly. At this point I am however at the end of my knowledge and inspiration so I'm calling you experts for help. Thanks a lot in advance.

    You might wonder why I don't let Dell solve this problem (after all the changed the motherboard). Well, they suggest a "clean install" which I really don't want to do for the following reasons:
    - I have a lot of programs installed for work. It will take a terrible time to get everything back to how it was.
    - If I do go for a clean install I have give it to the IT-guys at work (due to software licenses etc.), and then I might take a while.
    - Last but not least: I read about people being able to change to a totally different motherboard without problems, so exactly the same type of motherboard should work.

    If Dell replaced the motherboard I would have expected them to ensure it worked. Apparently they did not check it after replacing the hardware.

    I would suspect a corrupted hard drive or Operating System. This can happen when a motherboard fails while in operation. I had a motherboard fail and it corrupted the hard drive and it had to be rebuilt from a backup. Apparently you have not done any backups or the easy fix would be to rebuild the hard drive from the backup. Most likely a clean install will be needed in this case. A lesson on why full hard drive (all partitions) backups are needed.

    You can try a repair and see if that helps. If not, then the reinstall is in order. Startup Repair usually requires either a Windows 7 OS disc or a system repair disc. That may be an option in the Dell recovery partition on the hard drive, accessed by F8 at power on. If you don't have a Windows 7 OS disc, probably any Windows 7 disc of the same OS type (e.g. Home, Pro, etc) should work. Check with your IT department.

    There is a simple reason that didn't happen: a checkdisk started automatically after the replacement, and the technician was not eager to wait while 600gb was being checked.

    Thanks Kaktussoft, I hadn't read about that yet and will definatly try this now!

    Read the manual in pdf. Which drivers were missing? Were they injected?


    "Setup is preparing your computer or first use"=> Did you run sysprep/oobe?
    System says "Setup is preparing your computer or first use".... no progress at all? no disk activity? No animation on screen?

    Actually I tried every option available.

    No notice about missing drivers.

    The text "Setup is preparing your computer or first use" is animated.

    Make Windows 7 bootable after motherboard swap : That didn't inject any drivers at all?

    "Setup is preparing your computer or first use" isn't driver related btw. Any idea why this message appears on screen? Did someone do sysprep/oobe just before swapping the motherboard?

    You say the message is animating... so not freezing. Any disk access all the time? How long did you wait?

    I can kill that phase if you wish. But why is it there in the first place. And why is it taking so long to complete?
