please help error loading operating system

[Minotar]

Thats a beta disc as far as i know,im using build 7600.

Just now i fixed my boot manager after a failed install of Mr. Grims Icons.

What i done was i ran memory hardware check off the repair section of the Win7 installation disc,then restarted (i got as far as login screen like before due to missing .dll files) and i turned off the pc with the power button at the back ,when it came back on i finally got into advanced boot options by selecting "Press any button to run from disc" and used repair system-system restore

But there were other options there aswell,actually loads of them,including running in a low res,safe mode,command promt etc

Just try it to see if its any help,this is actually the second time i done this lol

My aim was to use the hardware memory scan to try and fix the boot loader and crashing the system to get the microsoft safety options to run


Seriously has to be a better way,but it did work

As soon as either of you get your system up and running like you want, go to Backup and Restore and create an Image backup to save on an external (or other internal) drive. This is the way to quickly recover from these things, including failure of HDD, or anything really: just reimage in 15 minutes.

I have just done that,made a new 24GB partition and used paragon to make a recovery image

You need to buy the cheaper Win7 Upgrade disk and install it over the 7100 RC partition in 64 bit, do it from boot and it will recognize the 7100 as a previous install before you format the partition and allow you to insert your Upgrade key.

Then use the 32 bit disk which come in the package and install that to your second partition (again from boot, deleting, creating new and formatting). If you don't have an XP or your Vista 32 bit on that second partition by then, do the second partition first before you wipe the 7100RC on the first partition so the Win7 installer will read the previous qualifying OS (7100) at boot up and allow it to activate too.

Here is how to upgrade from the 7100 RC which is Ultimate down to a Premium or other lesser version: http://www.unawave.de/installation/downgrade-en.html?lang=EN
