Win7 in boot-loop. Help!

If you can see the drive with folders and files when booting to a Linux disk is good news. Now get a second external drive and try and copy everything from the original drive to it.

For the Windows repair to perform as expected, it needs to see "characteristic" parts to allow log in to a partition. It could be, that whatever files those are (winload.exe, BCD, pagefile, fake autoexec.bat or whatever), they're missing or cannot be read. In particular, the BCD is needed because it has GUID pointers to the component parts of items in the boot menu. Maybe all you can do, is salvage personal files, email database, Firefox profile folder, and so on. Doing a Repair Install can only be done there, if the OS is in a running state. This is different than WinXP, where you could do a Repair Install by booting the DVD. Booting the DVD for this OS, only allows Clean Install. To do Repair Install, that is done with the system running (in which case it isn't all that badly damaged). Paul |

Finally i could boot the Windows installation in new (magnetic) hard disk after the Repair by OS. But now i would want to do a migration from hdd to ssd but even after the format in Ubuntu Live Cd of ssd i cannot see the unit in Windows. If i use sata channel the unit in Windows cannot be seen; if i use usb-sata case i can see unit but i noticed an exclamation marker near the ssd in Device Manager. If i plug the ssd with usb-sata case on another pc i can see ssd on Windows. Therefore i think that i have some problem with the system but i do not know what... -- 'Za Fo'! ----Android NewsGroup Reader---- http://usenet.sinaapp.com/ |

Could you do whatever needs to be done, on the working PC ? If the hard drive boots, then eventually you'll get the SSD booting. There are only a few hardware devices with problems. For example, if you have a VT8237 Southbridge, that has SATA I, and it also has broken negotiation capability. An SSD with SATA II or SATA III interface, will not be able to talk to a VT8237. But if this setup was working at some time, that would not explain the problem. Paul |

Hi, Gene.
Have you assigned a drive letter to the SSD? The BIOS will assign a Disk NUMBER to the SSD (Disk 0? Disk 1?). You can do that in Disk Management. No, but then you (or the OP) can use Disk Management to create (at least) one partition and assign a letter to that partition (Drive C:?). Partition = volume = drive. "Drive" letters are assigned to partitions, not to disks. Right click on Computer and choose Manage. Better yet, at a Command Prompt, type "diskmgmt.msc" (without the quotes) and press Enter. This will get Disk Management without the "overhead" of the MMC (Microsoft Management Console). It's quicker - and Disk Management will have more screen real estate to work with. RC -- R. C.

WINDOWS (Windows Explorer might be what he meant) will not see the drive unless it has a drive letter, except in Disk Management and similar. In case you were unaware, it is common practice, if a bit sloppy, to say drive for partition. I have no idea what the OP had done or how the OP had tried to see the disk, including whether he had ever partitioned it, so I tried to be helpful. Something worth trying, don't you think? As for your comments about how to get to DM, I prefer the way that I find easiest to explain to naive users, but since my computer was in a weird state, I couldn't get Disk Management to run (regardless of how I did it) to verify my procedure. So I said what I could and bailed long enough to reboot and run malware scans and reboot. -- Gene E. Bloch (Stumbling Bloch) |

I never liked that route for DiskManagement or even in my case the rarely used Win7 Start Menu...I've prefer to place a simple shortcut to DM on Win7 on the Quick Launch Bar. (in fact I've done the same on Win8.1) I've seen that (can't get DM to run) only once and it was on a new Win7 SP1 install. The MMC console was the issue. Even MSFT support couldn't fix it. They suggested a repair install. Since it was 1 day old Win7 install with nothing but Windows and MSE, I chose not to follow their advice and just wiped the drive, used a different Win7 Sp1 Pro DVD..that fixed the problem. After about a week, I recontacted support with the case number, informed them of what I did. After a few more phone calls, MSFT replaced/exchanged the original DVD with a new one (lol...it still in the original packaging collecting dust). -- ...winston msft mvp consumer apps |

So I said what I could and bailed long enough to reboot and run malware scans and reboot. Hope you got the issue resolved. Thanks, yes, I did. The scans came up empty, but the two reboots seem to have done the trick. Actually, I expected rebooting would be enough, but I thought it was prudent to do malware scans :-) I never liked that route for DiskManagement or even in my case the rarely used Win7 Start Menu...I've prefer to place a simple shortcut to DM on Win7 on the Quick Launch Bar. (in fact I've done the same on Win8.1) I hardly ever use Disk Management, so I feel no need for a shortcut. I often do what I described & I often type something in the Start Orb's search bar, like "format" or "disk" (I'm a bit inconsistent) to get there, but I don't like to tell someone to try that unless I'm sure they're familiar with the idea. Anyway, at the time I posted the original suggestion I was a bit rattled... I've seen that (can't get DM to run) only once and it was on a new Win7 SP1 install. The MMC console was the issue. Even MSFT support couldn't fix it. They suggested a repair install. Since it was 1 day old Win7 install with nothing but Windows and MSE, I chose not to follow their advice and just wiped the drive, used a different Win7 Sp1 Pro DVD..that fixed the problem. After about a week, I recontacted support with the case number, informed them of what I did. After a few more phone calls, MSFT replaced/exchanged the original DVD with a new one (lol...it still in the original packaging collecting dust). I was having troubles with some flaky micro SD cards, and somehow the OS got all bollixed up. Pure mystery at this point... But what the heck, all is OK now. I *think* :-) -- Gene E.
