I am re-installing because when i installed the other OS it deleted the old windows.

 

[gregrocker]

Sounds like you got the Win7 DVD to boot. What did you do differently than before when it wouldn't boot?

Here are steps for getting a perfect reinstall: Reinstalling Windows 7

I installed windows and am now moving over to drivers (WHERE IT WRONG LAST TIME!!!!!!!!)

 

[Rythemz]

Installed the three important updates

 

[gregrocker]

Look for newer drivers in optional Windows Updates.

Next check Device Manager for any missing drivers, import them from the Alienware Support Downloads webpage for your model.

Don't change out any drivers unless there are performance problems which point to them.

 

[Rythemz]

Im installing all the ones from dell.com

 

[Rythemz]

The download manager keeps freezing....

 

[Rythemz]

All of the drivers give me an error

 

[Rythemz]

Can any help me?

Why are you installing all of the drivers from Dell?

Did you read what I wrote above?

Only import the missing drivers. Rightclick the .exe to Run as Admin.

Hi Rythemz. Can you be specific as to what is happening again just to clearify ? Thanks.

 

[Rythemz]

The same thing it loops at start up when i choose start windows noramlly it happens when i start from disk to!

Hi Rythemz.

So you were able to install Windows 7 via CD/DVD successfully ? Then following a Windows update(s) on a reboot or cold start you ran into this loop your describing ? Does taping the F8 key work just as control is passed to the MBR on the drive on boot up ? If you can get the Windows Advanced Startup Screen then try getting into Safe mode to see if you can uninstall or rollback the updates that were installed ? Once it Safe mode uninstall one update at a time and then reboot normally to see if the update is the cause of the looping. If you are not able to do this then try running system restore in Safe mode to return it an earlier time. Also what you can do is while in Safe mode check the Event Viewer for any errors under the System setting.

If your not able to get into Safe mode by using F8 key then I would suggest reinstalling Windows 7 again like you have already done then installing all device drivers first from Alienware and don't let Windows 7 update itself. Follow Gregrocker recommendations in that download all device drivers from the Alienware website. Then run the Windows updater and install one update at a time. Then reboot your computer after each update install. Go back into normal mode and install the second update and so on....

I hope the above helps.
