You need to edit install.bat so that it installs the grub lo*der to the correct (boot) partition, but before you can do that you must check if you have a 100MB system reserved (hidden) Windows 7 boot partition. To check this, right click on 'Computer', select 'Manage' and the Computer Management console will pop-up. Next click on 'Disk Management' on the left. Look for a small partition labelled 'System Reserved' at the beginning of one of your hard drives. If you don't see this you *should* be ok to install WoW7 to C drive (assuming that 'bootmgr' is there). If you do see a small partition with no drive letter you will need to give it a drive letter. Right click and select 'Change drive letters and paths', then set a drive letter (e.g. 'X' drive). Once you've done that extract WoW7 to the newly named drive and edit the install.bat file in notepad so that WoW7 installs to the correct drive; Code: cd.. for %%X in (X:) do ( if exist %%X\bootmgr \wow7\bootsectgrldr.exe /nt60 %%X ) cd.. exit To uninstall WoW7 you will also have to edit uninstall.bat so that WoW7 is removed form the correct drive path; Code: cd.. for %%X in (X:) do ( if exist %%X\bootmgr \wow7\bootsect.exe /nt60 %%X ) cd.. exit @ Yen The updated version WoW7.0.1 is working great, updating the menu.lst in the floppy image to 'ignore floppies' allows my system to boot a lot faster, so thankyou! One question though, are you going to make the grub lo*der silent at some stage so that I don't see the text as the PC boots? e.g. Code: Probing ROM INT vectors. If hang, unload a device driver or TSR and try again. 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0A 0B 0C 0D 0E 0F 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 1A 1B 1C 1D 1E 1F 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 2A 2B 2C 2D 2E 2F 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 3A 3B 3C 3D 3E 3F 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 4A 4B 4C 4D 4E 4F 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 5A 5B 5C 5D 5E 5F 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 6A 6B 6C 6D 6E 6F Followed by...

I'm planning to update it to latest grub version to hope to get more compatibility. You can patch grub to be invisible. A great disadvantage will be that you can't see any error message anymore and you absolutely won't know what's wrong about..... After a testing period I'll try to make it invisible again just like wow5 is. People don't want to notice that they are using a patch before W7 boots up, I know that.
I'm using WoW7.0.1 on my Dell XPS m1330 (A15 BIOS stock SLIC2.0), and well it works most of the time, but sometimes on restart it'll just give me a screen with a flashing cursor. Basically it's frozen at that until I hit the power and manually restart (crtl+alt+delete doesn't even work). Windows 7 RTM stays activated regardless though, it's just rather annoying to have my laptop not boot at times. And well it sounds so harsh when I kill the power.
This is not the appropriate thread to start yet another discussion of the Lenovo key blacklisting. Please limit discussions in this thread to the WOW6/WOW7 lo*der.
Wow 7 worked great for me. After installing windows7, i uninstalled wow6 and proceed to install wow7. same procedure but with the key for windows7... it worked like magic. vista installations continue to work as if nothing is being touched. thanks to the wow people. you're great and deserve the best for all your efforts.
now it's not working for me as it makes my computer stuck at the boot... Still searching for the solution to enter windows..

Hi, I get a 'hang' (as in that the boot process does not continue) with the WoW7 7.0.1 version after the wow.exe starts. When pressing SHIFT to get in the command.com prompt and starting grub.exe, my boot however continues, but wow.exe makes my computer hang again. I'm using an Apple system with the Apple EFI BIOS module, by the way, if that matters. There's no output visible, so I can't give any help on that.
