I can't boot into the OS anymore. I should've checked here before I upgraded, but its too late now. Anyone know how I can fix this? Thanks.
Can you go into safe mode? Start your computer in safe mode Safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs don't run in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed. For more information, see What is safe mode? Safe mode is useful for troubleshooting problems with programs and drivers that might not start correctly or that might prevent Windows from starting correctly. If a problem doesn't reappear when you start in safe mode, you can eliminate the default settings and basic device drivers as possible causes. If a recently installed program, device, or driver prevents Windows from running correctly, you can start your computer in safe mode and then remove the program that's causing the problem. For more information about troubleshooting problems in safe mode, see Diagnostic tools to use in safe mode. Remove all floppy disks, CDs, and DVDs from your computer, and then restart your computer. Click the Start button Picture of Start button, click the arrow next to the Shut Down button Picture of Shut Down button, and then click Restart. Do one of the following: If your computer has a single operating system installed, press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you'll need to try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then shutting down and restarting your computer. If your computer has more than one operating system, use the arrow keys to highlight the operating system you want to start in safe mode, and then press F8. On the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to highlight the safe mode option you want, and then press Enter. For more information about options, see Advanced startup options (including safe mode). Log on to your computer with a user account that has administrator rights. When your computer is in safe mode, you'll see the words Safe Mode in the corners of your monitor. To exit safe mode, restart your computer and let Windows start normally.
Unfortunately safe mode doesn't work. The computer would only get to the "Loading operating system" screen then give me a list of letters and numbers and on top it says SLIC not found then says SLIC 1.4.6. I can take a picture if that would help.
ok so I followed most of this guide windowspcguy.net/?p=71 but I used the one that was specifically for Windows 7. I also booted it from a CD instead of a flash drive. However, there is still a problem. All I get with this is a command prompt and I can't seem to type anything into that command prompt either. What do I do with this exactly? How am I supposed to run Windows Loader from this? This is why I kept asking how. I Googled it but the directions weren't specific to this problem.
lol idk. and thanks. That seemed to work. Except now I have another problem. I was able to get my OS to boot, but it was in trial mode. So I loaded up the newest Windows Loader by Daz and clicked uninstall first. It rebooted without a problem. I then clicked install to install the new SLIC, but then it went back to the original problem again, except this time it says SLIC 1.50 instead of 1.4.6. I don't get it. Was I supposed to do something that I didn't know about before I clicked install? Thanks.
From this forum. Here's the link forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/24901-Windows-Loader-Current-release-information
Post a MGA report. If you look in Daz's thread i think he has a link to DL the MGA tool. If all else fails you can always do a in-place upgrade.
