Help Please Hi, i am seriously screwed, i was running windows 7 rc as my host pc which was going to expire within 2 or so day, i also had a vm of windows 7 ultimate running and i ran the file i downloaded from here and i was able to activate the vm version. Seeing that it worked i decided to reformat my pc and instal the windows 7 rtm version. So i go through the installing process and selected to instal the ultimate version as it was installing, i left for about 20 minutes and when i came back my computer seemed to have froze. I eventually rebooted, my problem now is, my computer seems to get stuck during the load up process. It detects my ram/drives/dvd etc then it just stays stuck. It isn't frozen because i can still press cntr, alt, delete to reboot the screen, but it just goes back into this loop. I can't even boot into the bios screen no more. Is there anyway i can like reboot or default the bios again? so that i can boot into the bios setup to check the settings? I know my motherboard is a Asus P5PE-VM ACPI BIOS REVISION 1002 If anyone knows how to resolve this please let me know, TIA
I doubt your BIOS is damaged. Use your Win7 disc to boot into recovery, open a cmd prompt, and do C: and press enter bootsect.exe /nt60 C: and press enter
Dell User I am a dell user and it does not seem to work. I have managed to get it to work in bootcamp on an iMac though. Many Thanks, but getting it to work on a Dell machine would be awesome.
Just downloaded that file out of curiosity - didn't run it. Filename is "7Loader Release 5.exe", MD5: bb659944a4a4d23620fbe840313850eb. Maybe a fake? Looks way too big in filesize to me.
Hi, as i mentioned earlier, i cannot even load up my pc, it seems to get stuck right after detecting my ram/drives, etc, even when i hit the f8 key/del key it does nothing. I have reformatted and installed o.s fine before, but after using this file i think it messed up the bios or something.
Sounds like you do not have a real RTM copy but one of many RC fakes RTM's. You should not see that on RTM, esp after this "FIX".
There is no way it messed up the BIOS... could be some funky problem with the boot sector of your drive though. Can you try another HDD?
If you download it from Usenet using the NZB file you get at BINSEARCH and then run it, it says it's Release 5 and gives a Thank You to you for Option 2.
I have the same issue on my MSI Wind and there is no way to hack the bios so I'm screwed for now. I tried deleting tokens.dat and replacing it with the one from the ISO, etc. Always still 30 days to activate.
It may be a fake or God knows what (that's why I ran it in a throw-away virtual machine). Or maybe it's tomorrow already where he lives.
Anyone with a T61P thinkpad successfully activate a x64 installation? If so, what method did you use? I have tried everything and it's just not happening.
i tried orbit's on my dell netbook using option 2. activated fine. Though nothing worked on my main pc. Intel Dx58S0 mobo. But i found it odd both ways work fine in vmware :/
