Windows failing to boot after you installed win7 loader
Posted: July 29, 2014Just do the following.
* Boot up the PC from your Windows installation disk
* Select the "Repair your computer" option
* Select "Command Prompt"
* Input "bootsect.exe /nt60 SYS /force" (without quotes)
* Restart the PC
Note: If the above doesn't fix your boot issue then use the command "bootsect.exe /nt60 ALL /force" instead. Just make sure you remove all USB flash drives before you use the command.
Have you installed the loader but you're not genuine? Just check the following.
* Check the details line contains "v2.1"
* Try to validate online at http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/validate/
Note: If the details line doesn't read v2.1 then go to the advanced tab, select to disable type 4 memory and reinstall the loader. If that doesn't work then use the legacy mode instead.
Questions and answers
Q. The loaders status says "Modified - Uninstall other cracks", what do I do?
A. You can either find a way to uninstall the other cracks, download WAT Fix or format. http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/26994
Q. The loaders status says "Unsupported partition table", why is this?
A. You're either using GPT on a UEFI motherboard or you've got a locked OEM partition. Both problems can be fixed by fully formatting your entire hard drive.
Q. I received the error message "Error finding your systems active partition", what do I have to do?
A. You need to format the whole hard drive with a program like Active@ Kill Disk. This issue is caused by your locked OEM partition. http://software.lsoft.net/boot-cd-iso.zip
Q. I received the error message "Failed to add loader to the boot code", what do I have to do?
A. Disable any system protection. Some types of software block the loader application from installing to the boot code.
Q. I've used a version of the loader before and it failed to work, what do I have to do?
A. If you previously used bootsect to get back into Windows then you first need to press uninstall, reboot and then install the newest version of the loader.
Q. Why was table sorting changed so that it's now disabled by default?
A. Some machines don't like the table order being changed so to make the loader more system compatible we disabled it by default.
Q. I've previously used another activation solution and I think it's modified my systems files, can I fix it?
A. You can first try to uninstall what you originally installed and then try running "sfc.exe /scannow" from command prompt as an administrator.
