After trying unsuccessfully to activate W7 32-bit with Hazar 1.6 (did not work on my HP/Compaq NC6400), I tried Daz W7L 1.7.0. Now, I get the blinking cursor upon bootup-- no Windows screen-- immediately after the HP bios logo. Have tried pressing "R" to no avail. I've got lots of important files and have only 1 day to activate W7, so I need HELP. Afraid to install W7 again overtop the existing one via the boot disk I made. Thanks all.
Reboot then get into bios with whatever F-key works for you like F10 or F2 then set your boot order to your media that you installed 7 with then restart and follow instructions in Section 6-H in repository
"command bootsect.exe /nt60 all" did the trick. However, the problem persists even with v1.7.9 under Alternative Mode and Forceful Mode. "C" or "R" do nothing. Guess I'll just reset the activation every 30 days. WTF is wrong with my system? This is the second time I've installed W7 on this computer (both after fresh formats). Both times, same issue. Thanks for your help, fellas.
Possible Resolution Hello I think the problem is if you have other drives attached to your system and the loader gets mixed up about which is your system drive or something like that. What has fixed it in each case for me so far is to unplug any memory card adaptors or external hard drives. In some cases the memoy card readers are internal and need to be unplugged from the motherboard. It isn't fixed in 1.83 as I had the same issue with that. Unplugging the memory card reader fixed it though and is now showing as genuine (with the WAT update installed as well). Hope it helps. Robin
