Since yesterday I have this problem. I installed an image with acronis true image home. After restart it stopped before welcome screen! So I tried the repair procedure from the windows 7 repository but without succes . ( it used to work before) Then I found my daz recovery cd and with that I could start up again! But now I can only start up with the cd, it hangs always with normal start up! Anyone knows how to fix this? Daz ??
When you imaged back you drive did you include the system partiton think its 100mb, as this may be the problem?
Another problem here is that you used Acronis It's like the Symantec Norton of the backup world. My opinion, anyway
Now I have even a bigger problem . After I tried to do the repair procedure - I used bootsec.exe /nt60 sys /force even the daz recovery cd didn't work anymore! ( endless fallback loop detected!) So I once more installed the image , and could start up with recovery cd. But my copy is not genuine and I can't use the daz loader anymore ! What can Y do, install windows 7 again? I'm desperate!
Now my system is genuine again! very strange but it still will not start up alone ! (only with help from daz recovery disk) And I didn't install the loader again. What's going to happen next ? Maybe I should do a chkdsk but then I will have to install the loader again.
try using the internal win 7 image backup it does a great job but remember to burn the recovery disk first.
I installed another image and it was genuine from the first time but it will not start up . I always have to use the daz recovery disk ! Is there a way to fix that?
Nobody ?? Although I must say it starts much faster with the daz recovery cd. In msconfig ; start up computer i got this ; Windows7(C:\windows) : Huidig besturingssysteem; Standaardbesturingssysteem That doesn't look OK does it ?
