Where do i turn acpi on and where do i find pnp OS and where is USB legacy??

In the bios.

Just look around, it's there somewhere. advanced settings, chipset settings, power settings

 

[CoreyLowe]

well i dont know where to find the OS thing, I saw an Acip not acpi but it was enabled, and there is none whatsoever usb legacy as far as i see. But i need to find a boot disc and a way to burn it correctly.. i have 4.7gb dvd's if needed.

 

[CoreyLowe]

okay i found everything but usb legacy. Its all enabled but as for ACPI there was also another thing for it saying s1(pos) or s3(str) or S1&s3

Hmm, an even worse bios than I remembered.

But ok for now.

Now you need a Windows 7 DVD.

And I guess you have 32bit installed right?

Then you need a 32bit Windows installation DVD, or ISO to make a DVD.

I am going to bed dude. 5:14am here.

Will check back tomorrow.

greetings

okay, Thank you. I need to find a disc though. Do i need to install on my second hard drive if i do get one? Or update my current c drive?

Here is some reading for you to look at, so we go slowly & don't miss anything

In your 1st post, you did not say what build # of Win7 you had on the computer when this all messed up. How did you install win7 originally ?

None of those.

First we will see if the current OS can be repaired.

If that fails, we will go from there.

Good night

I cannot get into an admin account... so where do i get a disk? I have the space needed. I cant get past that black CMD type screen thats all freaking out and stuff.. So how to go about this is beyond that tut. =(

 

[CoreyLowe]

Okay it was 7100, for some reason my windows updater and firewall would not connect at all and ABSOLUTELY would not work. so i never got upgrades, i believe we are at like 7600 now? hell if i know. But it is 7100, And i need to find a disc download to do a start up repair.

Repair is kind of like an install, it will overwrite mbr, and damaged or corrupt files.

I or someone else will explain when you have a disk.

In the mean time you could always put this disk into another computer and copy your precious files.

I'm off to bed.

good night

What happened to your 7100 install DVD ?

 

[CoreyLowe]

i just mounted it with daemon, never actually made one. So.. Yeah, Honestly i think i might have one somewhere where i just stuck the ISO on but i have to dig please give me a moment.

 

[CoreyLowe]

Nope, Its gone, i think it was thrown away. =;(

EDIT** I found a torrent with build 7100 on it =) now just to download the 2.4 gig file! Yay! xDD

 

[DocBrown]

What is the computer you are on now? does it have a DVD burner? Do you have a USB flash drive 4gb or better ?

 

[CoreyLowe]

No but i have DvD's and it has a better burner than mine. So yes. I can get this disc now. I just need help slow burning it and mounting it on disc.. i cant pay for any program to burn it. i think this compy might have a dvd burning program.

 

[DocBrown]

ImgBurn (FreeWare at MajorGeeks . com )

burn at 4x with verify ON (Check mark in box)

 

[CoreyLowe]

well im going to let this download. Im tired and im going to sleep. Hopefully we can get back with eachother tomorrow and finish this problem. Thank you so much for your help.

 

[DocBrown]

What are you downloading ?

 

[CoreyLowe]

The 7100 build iso file. It will take about an hour and a half. since i have 7100.
