Fucked my laptop up
« on: December 24, 2011, 10:58:05 am »
So I installed windows XP on a partition on my laptop, now it isn't giving me the option to boot from the windows 7 partition and is defaulted to load XP. I've wiped XP but there's still issues. So I'ma be out of action for a few days (Should still be able to get on the forums) I think whilst I try and fix it. I spent 10 hours on it yesterday... was a complete ball ache.

Wish me luck.

The BOOT.ini file was gonna do the job.
This is where all the OS'es are stored you can change ur default OS from there too and alot of crap.

Anyways to get to the Boot.ini right click My Computer >> Advanced >> StartUp and Recovery >> Settings (WIN XP)

And for win 7 idk where to find it  :P

Or u can just type BOOTCFG /? in the Command Prompt.

Anyways good luck.

All I know is you're a polack glitcher. Why are you pretending to be not a polack glitcher? Admin probably saw marcell the polack glitcher fucking around with RPG at close range, he did the right thing and banned you before you could polack glitch. Not actually being a polack glitcher could probably help

Windows 7 doesn't use the boot.ini it uses a boot sector that loads a boot manager. I've managed to work around it  by installing a new copy of windows 7, then using system recovery cmd prompt to replace the new files with the old ones (which were thankfully saved).

Outlawz, I need to use XP as it's required to run a bit of external hardware I use, that 7 doesn't seem to be able to do. I'm gonna give this another go, using a different tactic. So now I've fixed my pc, it might be broken again in about half an hour :P (At least I know how to fix it this time)

If your bootloader fucks up again... ::)



Get a Vista or 7 CD.
Boot into it.
Open Command Prompt.

bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
bootrec /rebuildbcd
bootrec /scanos

Bootloader should be fixed, flag Windows 7 partition as active.

diskpart
list disk
select disk <ID of the disk your Windows 7 partition is on>
list partition
select partition <ID of the partition of Windows 7>
active
exit
