    Win7 x64 will no longer boot properly after innstalling SP1


    Hi my 3 day old Win7 Ultimate innstallation on my 3 day old computer just crashed after trying(or maybe succeding) to innstall Service Pack 1.

    This is how the screen looks when I try booting.



    I have tried all safety moodes, last known good config. Debugging mode.
    The Win7 DVD(tells me the chosen OS version can not be repaired), none of these options helped.
    What else can I try to get past this madness?

    Could this be the punishment for not getting genuine windows and using a loader?
    Can it be saved?

    Thank you!

    Can you boot to Safe Mode?

    BOOT TO SAFE MODE
    Ø Power down your computer.
    Ø Power up your computer.
    Ø IMMEDIATELY—Start tapping the SPACEBAR
    Ø When the Windows Boot Manager screen appears,
    Press the F8 key
    Ø The Advanced Boot Options screen will appear.
    Ø Using the down arrow key, highlight Safe Mode
    Ø Press the ENTER key.

    In shorthand,
    PowerUp | Spacebar until Windows Boot Manager
    | F8 | Safe Mode | ENTER

    When you follow the procedure I gave, and do not deviate in the smallest there from, precisely what happens?

    Please, despite what may have happened previously, carry out the procedure precisely and tell me what happens.

    I'm trying to save you from a 100% clean install.

    Actually tapping the spacebar just makes my computer restart. Every time^^ I just hold the F8 button to get to the advanced boot options. When I choose safe mode there I get to choose what OS to boot, wich is Windows(default) as it is the only OS on my computer. It then proceeds to the exact same screen shown in my first post.

    I realize that with a non-working computer the following can not be carried out perfectly, but please give this your best shot:

    Update your SevenForums System Specs
    User CP (located on the top menu bar) |
    Your Profile | Edit System Spec     (left-hand column)

    To gather info, use Speccy (my favorite) or SIW or System Info

    In the System Manufacturer Block, enter:
    Manufacturer and Model and
    ADD the word laptop, desktop, netbook or tablet.
    For example:
    Toshiba Satellite L305D notebook.

    Provide full windows version info, for example:
    MS Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64-bit

    Use the “Other Info” block for Optical Reader,
    Mouse, touchpad, wifi adapter, speakers, monitor, etc

    Scroll down and click on SAVE CHANGES.

    You will find that in Speccy, you can select info from the display
    using your mouse/touchpad and then paste that info into your specs.

    SIW is a marvelous program, but the free version does not offer
    this capability.

    I`m guessing all of the these programs needs to be run in a windows enviroment?
    Luckily I know most of my hardware specs by heart. Will update in a second!
