I can get to this screen but then it goes to that fixed screen thing.
is there a way of forcing it to go to the DVD that was made last year when every thing was okay?
thanks guys
Hi Rick33,
Right, none of the disks have worked, trying to recover the OS hasn't worked, trying to run repair install hasn't worked, if fact nothing has worked. Seeing you tried more that one disk, it probably isn't the disks, it could be a corrupted recovery partition. If this is the case, then there is NO way you are going to be able to restore the OS from that. If it isn't then it is something else!
The amount of time that has been spent on this [by BOTH of us], you could have created a new installation/repair DVD. Then you could have either repaired the OS, OR, clean installed the OS from the DVD, done all the updates, configured your system the way you like it, and, made a system image so that this sort of thing wouldn't be an issue in the future.
I gave you the direct download link for Win 7 SP1 Home Premium x64 bit yesterday and told you that it was valid for 24 hours. That link has since expired and been deleted. This is exactly the same as what SIW2 has stated that you require below.
SIW2 has told you how to do get your system up and running again, the same as I have numerous times.
Is there any reason that you are not doing what is being suggested!
I did not understand the steps involved.
created a new installation/repair DVD.
what is a system image?
thanks
Hi Rick33,
You should have said which parts you didn't understand and I could have clarified them for you!
Are you saying that you have downloaded the ISO and burnt it to a DVD ready to boot from?
You don't need to worry about that until you have a fully updated and working OS.
It is basically an exact copy of your OS on the HDD. It makes restoring your OS quick and simple.
"Are you saying that you have downloaded the ISO and burnt it to a DVD ready to boot from?"
the exe file is still on the thumb drive. i can copy it to a DVD, is that burning?
thanks
EDIT the file is called a downloader. does that mean i have to connect to the internet to use the file?
Is this a wind up?
You have already been informed
You need to run the Heidoc exe file, then put a dot next to windows 7 - that tells it you want to download windows 7 media.You can get the SP1 installation media using
heidoc windows iso downloader
The installation media comes as an .iso file. It can burned to dvd using an isoburner, or extracted to usb using rufus, or similar.
Next you select the EDITION in the drop down, then click CONFIRM.
Next you select the LANGUAGE in the drop down, then click CONFIRM
Next you click the one you want to download
no not a wind up, just a jargon problem
i have the exe file and really do not know the next step!
thanks
