@vree Enter this command. Code: bcdedit /set {default} bootstatuspolicy ignoreshutdownfailures It'll prevent Windows 7 from running startup repair and disabling the loader if the laptop wasn't shutdown correctly.
My 2c. I can confirm that W7 Ultimate will install without a problem, and can be activated by the Daz Loader (2.2.2 is latest) PROVIDED THAT it's an MBR system and not GPT. Easiest way for me to provide details of this is to upload a doc I made at the time. I find it necessary to write these detailed reports, or, if I have to do the same job again, I have to rediscover the process all over again )
