Need some Help guru's. Please.
Hey guys, I brought in a windows 7 disc to upgrade a coworkers dell laptop from vista to windows 7 ultimate. The install itself went fine, but after the 1st restart, the pc just does looping restarts and can't enter into the OS. When i boot from the win7 cd, it recognizes that windows 7 is the only OS on the HD but it does not detect any problems when running the repair tools. So basically at this point all I can do is boot from the cd and either do a fresh installation (in which he will lose all of his data), or not boot into any OS at all. I'm thinking there is a problem with the bootmgr or the attempting to boot from the kernel from vista, but I'm not sure. Please guru's, any help you can lend me is much appreciate.
Also, he doesn't have his vista boot cd's anymore, so everything I have in front of me at this point is a win7 cd and his laptop.
