-About a week or so I was interested in trying out windows 7 64-bit, I realized that my DVD player doesn't support burning so I made a bootable flashdrive and Win-7 was running great for 3-4 days.
- I was dual booting with Vista 32-bit, I created a partition to hold Win-7 which was 250Mb and the rest was for Vista(Vista was installed first), from a 1TB hardrive. Last night I was using Win-7 and I got a msg saying to dl and install important updates, so I did that and when they finished it said I had to restart my computer.
-Now this is where my problem began to occur, after my restart I was unable to boot Win-7 OR Vista, I kept getting an error saying something in bootsect could not be accessed(only for Win7/ Vista went bluescreen for a ms and reboots in an infinate loop). I put my flashdrive in and tried using the "repair my computer" utility that came with my OS, I let it do its thing a few times and everytime it finished it said the problems were resolved and it would start fine. Well I wish that were true, after spending my entire day off work/school getting messed around by windows useless repair utilities I decided it would be quicker to just reformat and reinstall with my backup disk.
- My system restore disks from vista are saying there is no data on them, I KNOW that there is. Everytime I try to re-install vista I get an error "Windows setup could not reinitialize the deployment engine. The status bar never passes 0% and it says to restart the install and it should work. It never does. I have deleted all partitions, reformatted them before the install, I cant get it to work. Now I am trying to install Windows7 to see if that works.
-Oh a funny thing I realized earlier, I have a 1TB HD and im pretty sure that the first time I installed Vista I made a partition around 70GB for all my restore points. And it says I have no partitions and only 931GB of HD space, while there is only 1 HD selection. Ive reset everything in my bios to the defaults which they were at the first time that I installed vista.
PS. Sorry for my english and bad grammar/punctuation/etc. Just a reminder, EVERYTHING was running amazing until......that ONE Windows 7 update.
