Then it's likely you'll boch your windows install if you turn raid off. Well, I've seen it happen before, anyways, due to raid making multiple drives, one drive. you know.
I don't mind having to reinstall if I know it'll work. Just wasn't sure if it would make a difference?
I see the version has now changed to 1.0.0.9 yesterday evening. Where can I read what the release changes were to 1.0.0.9 from the build the day before, thank you!
same here. no hidden partition was created during my win7 installation, and i do have a hidden folder named recovery in c:\ but alas, GOOD NEWS!! it works for me THANKS untermensch!! this will tide me over till win7 gets released officially...
Forgive me for being a retard but how exactly does this work, and does it work fo the most part on most PC? I have a gateway, and will maybe try later, but does this actually MAKE your windows 7 legit or what? I know it'll *activate* it, but is it something that MS can turn off later, or make your install invalid or whatever? Thanks.

The problem is that none of the scripts reliably detect the C: boot drive since it is hidden when win is installed and gets logged as C instead Note that Vol 3 has no drive letter and is therefore hidden. I ask because several of my computers use the same partition setup and would rather use your automated method if you feel it would work here. Note: this computer uses System Commander to boot multiple OS's and the boot drive is small and only holds System Commander and the various OS startup and loader files, i.e bootmgr boot.ini, grldr etc. All OS's are in logical drives in the extended partition. Also there is a linux 150 MB ext3 partition following Vol 4 which diskpart does not show. Yhis is used to boot linux on an external SATA drive, not shown because it is disconnected right now.
untermensch- When I click on your loader (1.0.0.9) and click ENTER it stuck on "Activating Windows 7 Ultimate" sometimes. is this a bug? I also suggest that you add this or somthing similar: "Press any key to activate Windows 7 Ultimate" "Activation Windows 7 Ultimate.. Please wait..." "Done, Windows 7 is now fully activated" also when new oemslp keys are out, add a function that check the edition installed automatically and add corresponding oemslp key to that edition. I think no need to change slic or cert cause it will probably work with any oemslp key. so this must be the same: SLIC 2.1 and corresponding Certificate from the same manufacturer. OEMSLP key that match the edition installed. but I guess you arleady know that, just trying to help improve the loader.
Thank you, your reply explains why none of the current lo*ders work on my system, since most of these trace back to a common source to detect a boot partition. My computers are after all a unique configuration. One of my computers has a ghosted image of W7 before any changes. I will try your suggestion and see what happens. This my take a few days
untermensch your loader does not make any debug.log for me. I think it's important thing to add; Please wait, it may take up to 2 minutes to install (or something like that, my english is bad). because at first I though your loader does not work, I though it's just stuck on "Activating Windows 7 Ultimate" because it took more than 1 minute and does not say anything , so I exit it. hence it's a great suggestion to add this line also, one more thing: Does your autoactiating guide will work with all versions of windows 7 when oemslp keys are out?
