Windows 7 will not boot after install on A8R32-MVP

I've got this same problem trying to install Win7 Ultimate 64 bit. I have installed this same OS on several other machines with success. This one keeps hanging even after disconnecting all other peripherals. The mobo is a Asus A8R32-MVP Deluxe with a an AMD 4800+ processor and 2 GB RAM.

Welcome to the forums krroller
Where does it hang? Can you start it in safe mode and see what is the last driver it loads?
I had a problem where it always stopped right after disk.sys. It turned out to be the processor (AMD4200+), which for some reason Win7x64 won't work with. I ended up having to replace the CPU.
Maybe your problem is different and you can get help here.

i had the same issue untill i removed my two backup drives and it installed fine after this now on reconnecting the hdds it hans at boot screen if you have additional hdds try disconecting them it seems to be the IDE/ata drive thats causing my issue

 

[krroller]

I have decided to build a new machine (new Cooler Master ATCS 840 case, Intel X58 mobo, I7processor, 6GB Corsair memory, etc) rather than continue with my old AMD X2 4800+ based system. Therefore I am no longer following up on trying to get this work.

I had no peripherals except for the sata hard disk I was installing to and USB stick I was installing from. I could boot from safe mode and it would go all the way through in these modes, but the install could not complete from safe mode. I have installed Win 7 64 bit on no less than 6 other machines of varying configurations and have not seen this issue elsewhere.

Have you gotten a driver for your mass storage device yet? Is that a simple HD or a raid?

Ken

 

[flibble666]

no no driver yet it seems to just be the hdd (single hdd not in Raid) up under windows and the mass storage controller has an error under device manager ive tried to just remove the drive but it still wont boot unless under safe mode/boot ive not tried deleting drivers and removing on restart but finding the driver wuld be easyer as i wuldent need to buy a new drive thx for the help people

 

[zigzag3143]

no no driver yet it seems to just be the hdd at least its not showing up under windows and the mass storage controller has an error under device manager ive tried to just remove the drive but it still wont boot unless under safe mode/boot ive not tried deleting drivers and removing on restart but finding the driver wuld be easyer as i wuldent need to buy a new drive thx for the help people

its the controller that is giving you teh grief. If you go into devmgr and uninstall it windows will find a driver for you. We could be more helpfull if you filled in your system specs (lower left corner) so we know what kind of hardware you have. Also what oS 32bit, or 64? clean install or upgrade?

kEN

 

[flibble666]

i put full system specs in first post there now in my system specs its 32bit aka x86 thx for helping

 

[zigzag3143]

you get it fixed?

I suspect the multiple HD's are the culprit!
USing 2 SATA drives in combination with an ATA drive, if the ATA drive is a hand me down from a previous system it possible a jumper setting has been changed. It seems that your primary SATA drive is the boot drive. OS 7 loads fine with the 1 drive. The primary drive is connected to the MOBO as SATA 1, connect the second SATA in the 2 connector position. We do not know the make of the ATA drive so its either set at default "Master" which crashes the system, leave it out!

Let us know.
Adrian

 

[flibble666]

yer im fne with leaving it out but even when i remove the drive 7 still wont load will i need to go into safe boot remove the drivers restart and remove the drive or will i need a reformat

Clean Install

Fibble, I suggest you remove all your hard drives and re-install your 360 gig on the sata1 connction on the mombo, reboot, enter the bios check the boot priority, make sure the bios sees the new hard drive.
Set boot priority to cd/dvd as priority or first boot. save and exit settings.
Insert your iso disk and do a full install.

Tell us the results.
