[HELP] Windows 7 Boot Camp Boot Problem?

Hi,
I have a problem when booting windows 7 after installing it using bootcamp.
Here is what i did:
1) Used Boot Camp assistant to "Install Windows 7 or later version" (Last tick box option) - This also partitioned my drive.
2) While Windows 7 was installing it rebooted several times, I held the option key to select the Windows 7 instlltion disk for every reboot.
3) Once Windows 7 had finished installing I installed Boot Camp 5 for Windows 7.
However everytime I restart my Macbook Pro it boots into OSX Mavericks fine, When I go to startup disk there is no option to select the Windows 7 Boot Camp partition.
When I hold the option key while turining on my Macbook Pro I get the option to select the Windows 7 Partition, but when i select it I get a grey folder with a question mark. However when I turn on my Macbook Pro (with the Windows 7 installation disk inserted) holding the option key, when i select the Windows 7 disk it boot the Windows 7 partition fine?
I have installed reFind and tried that but I get an error: http://puu.sh/80FZt.jpg
What can I do to fix this? I want to be able to boot into Windows 7 without having the Windows 7 installation disk in the SuperDrive, and i also want to have the startup disk preferences to display the Windows 7 partition.
Thanks in Advance
Harvinder

Ok, I have done what you have both said (bobthefisherman & turbostar):
1) Deleted Windows 7 partition with BCA
2) Selected all 3 options in BCA, which created a USB install and it also partitioned my HDD
3) I waited for it to reboot and then it came up with a grey fold with a question mark in it
I never intervened with it in any way.
How do i fix this now? Any further suggestions?
Thanks

Windows 2000 boot problem

I have just moved my system to the new MX-6585 board - Did an Windows 2000 "upgrade" to initiate total hardware scan.
System works ok, when it has booted, but booting is sooo slow.
Found a Microsoft article describing the problem:
SYMPTOMS
After you choose to start Windows from the Boot menu, you may experience a long delay (or pause) before your computer finishes starting. Note that this delay may range from 10 seconds to a minute. Also, this delay occurs before the Starting Windows progress bar appears, and your computer may appear to stop responding (hang) during this time.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur if Windows is installed on a drive or a partition to which Windows cannot gain access with normal Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) INT-13 or INT-13 extension calls. When Windows Setup determines it cannot use BIOS calls to start, it uses scsi() or signature() syntax in the Boot.ini file instead of multi() syntax.
My question is: Does MX-6585/BIOS in any way hinder the INT-13 calls to my Adaptec 2940???

Thanks! I sent the following message:
There are no IDE devices in my system, only SCSI. My hd is an IBM Ultrastar 36XP DRHS-36D. When I start the system up, the SCSI & MSI BIOS screens display normally, then BOOT.INI appears. After I select one of my NT-type OS's (NT4, W2K, WXP), there is a 30-second delay between the time I press the Enter key at the BOOT.INI screen and the time the OS actually starts to boot. (The BOOT.INI countdown time is limited to 5 seconds. I am *not* talking about this time.)
Since the same hardware was transferred from another installation (with a non-MSI mb) in which the same Adaptec drivers were used but this 30-second delay did not occur, the delay appears to be due to the MSI BIOS. Interestingly, W98 is also installed on this hd and it appears in the BOOT.INI list. When I start up W98, the 30-second delay does not occur -- as soon as I press the Enter key, W98 starts to boot.
Other end users have complained about this same boot delay. See the post "Windows 2000 boot problem" found in the MSI user forum here: http://www.msi.com.tw/program/e_service/forum/viewindex.php?threadid=6970&boardid=10&page=1
I'd estimate our chances of success at 1%. Still, it's far better to complain and not be heard than never complain. That way, we get to complain even more.

K8N Neo2 Windows XP Boot problems

I've recently built a new machine based on the K8N Neo 2 & Athlon 64 3500 and am having intermittant problems during boot into Windows XP.
Basically the machine seems to hang just as it gets to the 'Windows XP' logo. The screen looks blank, but if you look very carefully the logo is displayed very faintly. I have tried connecting the startup disk to both SATA1 and SATA3 with the same results as at first I thought it may be some kind of driver problem. I didn't have to install any SATA drivers during the XP install which surprised me.
I have also run Memtest86 on the two sticks of 512Mb PC3200 Geil Ram which seemed to test OK.
Once running the machine is stable, its just annoying that it may take 2 or 3 tries to get it up and running.
Any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated.
The full spec of the machine is as follows:
K8N Neo 2
Athlon 64 3500
Geil Value PC3200 512Mb x2
Maxtor Diamond Max 9 80Gb (Boot Disk)
Maxtor Diamond Max 10 200Gb
Sapphire ATI Radeon 9600XT

I will not install the nForce IDE drivers on the (I guess soon) reinstall. I've read that the PS/2 keyboard also could be the badguy in this weird boot problem but I cant understand why and how the keyboard could add time to the bootup sequence only sometimes, I guess that it has something to do with the XP keyboard driver ??..
Anyone with any other tips is welcome. Other than this weird problem my system runs perfect. MSI Core Center now tells me that my CPU temp is 45% (CPU speed 1004) (Downloading stuff but not doing anything else), CPU speed is according to XP 1.79Ghz and I use the Cool 'n' Quiet function, On what temp should I start to become alarmed and is there some way to setup something in the bios to shut down or warn me when and if the CPU gets to hot ?..
Thanks for helping a new MSI user out

GX623 Windows 7 boot problem

Hi guys, i recently have to reinstall OS on my laptop, and now i am facing "really long boot" problem, all drivers are correctly installed (at least i think so), i am fighting with this problem hole day, so i am pretty mad and tired right now, hope you can give me some advice
here is a boot trace picture hope it can share some light on this
i already reinstalled windows seven 3 times today, i tried to update bios to the latest version, even re-flash EC, all with no change :(
to describe this problem, bios post goes OK, no errors, all fast and smooth, as soon i see windows logo animating on my screen my HDD "stops" working (there is no hdd activity for a long period of time) well that can be seen on trace, and then after 90 seconds (at least trace shows that) it starts booting like before, system loads, and everything is working as it should

Help! Mac boot problem!

When my Mac boots, a little bar appears below the apple logo. Then, the bar fills up very slowly. I know the bar isn't the progress of my Mac booting, because after the bar fills up and disappears, the spinning wheel goes on for like another 20 seconds. the Mac actually boots, and there is nothing wrong, but because of the little bar that shows up, my Mac takes 15 minutes to boot, and its a waste of battery and time. Please help me get out of this problem. Thanks!

That means the directory of the boot volume is damaged and a repair is being attempted. If it happens repeatedly, you should assume that there's a hardware fault in the drive, the internal cable, or the logic board. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. Back up all data before you go.

Windows 7 boot problems after partitioning Mac Disc

Hi
I got a big Problem. I installed Windows 7 with Bootcamp. I have a 600Gb Mac Partition and a 150Gb Bootcamp Partition.
After Configuring Windows, I switched to the Mac OSX Snow Leopard System. I changed the Main Partition of 600Gb into 3 smaller ones. After this change I can't boot Windows 7 anymore. With the Option Key it doesn't show me the Bootcamp Partition. In the Sys. Preferences under Startup Disk it show me the Windows on Bootcamp Partition, but when I click restart, it shows me only the No System Disk Boot black screen.
I read a bit in the forum, but I haven't found the problem yet.
Thx for your help
NESTi

Your problem is quite clear and simple: you added and changed the parition numbers and table.
You want a linux style with a slice for swap, root, usr and data?
Use Mac's new Recovery - command d on startup.
Enable viewing hidden partitions in Disk Utility.
Use Windows DVD to fix and edit BCD
What you did is not supported. I know XP can't boot unless it is partition #4 or lower.
There is 200MB GPT, 128MB EFI, HFS+ 600GB would have been 3rd but GPT is zero, only now you have three where there was one.
Manage all partitions with Disk Utility in OS X
Check partition table health in Lion's Disk Utility
BCD for Windows 7 and Lion

Satellite A660 - Windows 7 boot problem

Hi, i have i think biggest problem i ever had. I got Toshiba Satellite A660. I got Windows 7 ultimate 64bit (just to know.) The notebook freezed so i pressed to shutdown button to shut him down.
Then i was trying to start him but i saw only "Starting Windows" for more than hour.. When I was trying to use repair disc i saw only green loading bar (like loading in windows XP) but nothing happend again. So I tried to use installation disc but I only get a "Starting windows" and nothing happend, same with USB boot.
Anyone could help me?
Thanks for every post.

I understand that your computer was working and running W7 64 bit.
Can you or have you looked at the BIOS? I don't know what you can see/change but is the hard disc displayed and is the memory reported?
If you use the W7 disk or the recovery disc to boot the computer can you get to the Install Windows screen and select "Repair your Computer". If you don't see that screen you'll have to make sure the DVD or USB is the first boot device.
At this point come back for some more ideas or google for something like "windows 7 command prompt repair"

Yosemite and Bootcamp Windows 7 booting problem

Hello all,
I upgraded to Yosemite from Mavericks from the App store on a MBP 2013 late which also had windows 7 installed on it using bootcamp.
I can boot into Yosemite and Windows 7 by going to start up disk and selecting the OS and then restarting but what I cannot do is use the option key to show me the boot disk options when I power on like how I used to do before the upgrade.
Is it the same for all, is there any work around or am I doing something wrong here ?
Thanks in advance.
Priyank.

What about booting into safe mode and then uninstalling the app?

Windows XP boot problems after latest BDM Installed

Blackberry Desktop Manager 5.0.1
Hi Everyone,
I installed Blackberry Desktop Manager on a Dell Laptop yesterday and after a reboot it took forever to boot into Windows XP SP3 and when it did the machine was completely unresponsive.
I eventually managed to get the Task Manager running and it turns out that the process called System was using 99% CPU constantly.
Safe Mode took 20 minutes to go into Windows and again windows was unresponsive to the point I was unable to open the Control Panel and uninstall BDM.
I tried Last Known Good Configuration to no avail and in the end I reinstalled the System from Scratch.
I couldn't be 100% sure it was the installation of BDM that caused the problem because Windows had installed some updates so I figured a clean install would be a wise move.
I clean installed XP and updated to SP2 and everything was working perfectly again this morning so I tried to install BDM again - same problem!!!
The system is in a state of unresponsiveness again and I am trying desperately to get into Safe Mode to uninstall BDM which will hopefully restore my PC to a working state.
Does anyone have any ideas I can try or has anyone else experienced this?
I am relatively new to the Blackberry world but I am competent with Windows XP and a manner of technical issues but this is something that is really causing me a headache.

I have had the same problem repeatedly since I first got the 'update avilable' message on my Dell xp sp3.
I've found that turning off communication speeds up the computer so that you can go to a restore point or remove the program through the windows add/remove facility. On my machine (Inspiron 6000) it is fn and f2 keys together.
I did NOT have to rebuild my system.
And thank you - I was beginning to think it was me

[nForce] Help with another booting problem with the MSI K7N2

Ok, I've been reading the threads and tried almost all of the solutions to no avail. Here is the issue...
While adjusting speed in bios, Upon reboot the system would not display video. Steps taken to solve:
*Betwwen all changes I unpluged all power from system
1. Cleared CMOS VIA Jumper, Turned system on, no change
2. set J10 Jumper to default then restarted, Still no video.
3. Checked & reseated memory & CPU. Still nothing.
4. Removed battery for about 30 seconds (Am going to try to remove it for 30 mins when i get a chance tomorrow) still nothing
At this point i assum the motherboard was bad. I tested botting up with no memory in an attempt to get the warming/error beeps but nothing the system just idles.
Am i missing something? Any help suggestions or links to solutions would be greatly appretiated.

Sorry, I wasn;t trying to be vague, Was messing with the comp for a couple hours and got fed up. You were right, it was the k7n2. It's not mine it's a friends and wasn't around so i was going by memory. It had been running descent but was never properly installed (software) and was poorly cooled (hardware) so it had overheating restart issues. This is where I come in. I told my friend i would take a look at his computer. It was home built by one of his friends. Te system is fairly basic and the only plug in card used is a agp video card. The computer was working great after i reinstalled the CPU with proper thermal conducting when in BIOS his Athlon 2.6 was set for 1.8 I adjusted it up to the proper setting and he asked if i could bump it further. I attempted but it was unsuccessful and didn't boot. I cleared cmos with the jumper and it booted up again no problem. I stupidly went back in a fiddled around some more with something i shouldn't have because i don't remeber what it was. I belive it was the FSB Speed, but i'm not positive what change cause this particular shutdown. I'm no computer technichian, just a hobbiest. I cleared the Jumper again but this time it dodn't come back and boot. I then looked in the book and found out about jumper 10 (i think) for the SAFE MODE 100mhz boot. I set it as well with no response. I then disconnected the power cable from the PSU and unluged the battery for about half a min or so. cleared teh cmos jumper again, kept the safe mode jumper in safe mode and tried to reboot. It still just hangs. No screen, so Bios check or wrning beeps. It just idles. It revs the hard drive up for about 20sec or so but that is it. I'm going to try the suggestion earlier in the eact oprder giving by osnavi for the reseting cmos. I tried those steps in vvaroius orders 5 or 6 times before giving up.
Any help is appretiated. Thanks for your responses.

Windows 7 boot problem on Satelite L300

Hi all
I have a Satelite L300 which came with Vista and was upgraded to Windows 7 and has been working sucessfully. The otherday the laptop wouldnt bootup and and the screen offers two options boot from the recovery disk or boot normally.
The recovery disks I have are the Vista recovery disks which it want to format the hard drive. The Windows 7 disk boots up but again wants to install Windows 7.
I dont have a boot disk for Windows 7.
Can anyone suggest how I can resolve this issue with the boot sector? or advise if I reinstall Windows will it overwrite the program and data files or just the operating system?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi flyal4,
Can you access the advanced boot menu of Windows? Maybe you can start Windows in safe mode
Windows 7 disk and boot disk for Windows 7 its the same. I think you got this message that you should start from Windows 7 and use the system repair function. This would be also worth a try ;)

Help wanted: X86 Boot problems...

My system boot failed from Hard Disk after X86 installation. But it can boot all ok from DAC floppy and then the system seems to run well. How can I solve that problem and make a successful boot from HD? Many thanks.

i got the monitor working - i had changed J11 not J10 (or vice versa, whichever is which) so thanks
now it freezes when i try and boot - im using a win98 startup disk, sometimes it freezes half way thru loading the cd drivers etc, sometimes it loads them and then i just cant type anything (but it cant be the keyboard coz i gotta press enter to tell it to boot with cd support)
i read that it might be a RAM problem - im running an athlon 1900 which is a 133/266 cpu, but my ram is PC2700 which is running at 166/333 - would this cause any problems? i went into BIOS and told the RAM to run at 133 instead but thsi didnt fix the problem
also, my PSU is 3.3v=28A, 5v=30a, 12v=15a
and the d-bracket has all 4 lights green

gta 4 steam !

If GTA IV believes the system is under specification even though the computer is powerful enough to run the game with higher settings, the following will fix this problem.
This will work if your problem looks like this: "resource usage 230/60" and you can't change any other setting
Just follow the steps:
Step 1: Create a text file named ‘commandline.txt’ (without the " ")
Step 2: Put the following statement inside it:
i5 users: -availablevidmem 18.0 (with the -)
i7 users: -availablevidmem 22.0 (with the -)
Step 3: Open the main GTAIV folder (C/ program files (86)/ rockstar games/ GTA IV) and copy the commandline.txt file into it.
Step 4: locate the file "GTAIV.exe" (in GTA main folder)
Right click the file and select Properties
Under the shortcut tab, you will see an area that says Target
Modify the Target adding the command line after the last quotation mark (just add the statement you added in commandline.txt)
(remember, i5 users: -availablevidmem 18.0 / i7 users: -availablevidmem 22.0)
It should look something like this:
Make sure to add space between " and -"
I hope This helps, although late cx

I have a mac pro wich will not open windows in boot camp i get to the two options select windows but iyt will not load can you help please

i have a mack pro which will not open in windows from boot camp get to the two options and select windows drive but it will not open can you help Please

Hi there, Well, i thing i might have had the same problem (if you dont mean the selecting part, then try keyboad with usb and without if u dont have a macbook pro or so), i did the same and after selecting windows it said "No bootable disk" or " no boot disk" or something like that and the installer wont start when i was trying to install via CD/DVD.
The sulution is to use 2 usb-drives, one for the support drivers from apple and one for the windows it self after burning the CD/DVD to the usb on a PC using the windows own tools and creating a ISO file.
