Sp1 problem

[bob12a]

I have not forgotten you Bob - I have been busy these last few days.

 

Can you see if you can navigate to this please: [ I am on Win 8.1 atm ]

C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools

 

Cant navigate to sorry installed SubInAcl no prob

 

I am looking at post #115 and the registry fix.

I will need to check this out a bit further for you before we try it.

 

I suspect that SubInAcl will need to be installed first.

If "Windows Resource Kits" is not there download and install SubinAcl from here - click here

This says that it is for XP .... but I hope it will be OK.

I have seen some with Win7 say that it does not work for them ....and others it does.

[ Probably needs SP1 !! :) ]

 

[ Probably needs SP1 !! :) ]

Can you navigate to .... C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools .... now after installing SubinAcl ?

Yes Ken no problems should have told you.

Calling a halt now until tomorrow when I will follow your instructions

Nite Bob

[KenB]

OK Bob - we can come back to this on the 'morrow :)

[KenB]

Hi Bob

 

I know you are trying to get hold of a Win7 CD ...so I will hold off with the registry fix that we were going to try for the moment.

Out of luck Ken sorry.

been going through my pile of disks and found a COPY must have been made my me because it is my writing on the disk.

would it harm to have a look and if ok how do I get the information of it to show you say in notebook form.

Bob

[KenB]

Hi Bob

 

What have you written on the disk ? Copy of what ?

 

If you put the disk in the drive ..... then Start > Computer

It should tell you there ...the name of the disk.

I have just tried it and ..Win7 should be indicated if this what is on the disk.

 

However, if this is Win7 recovery - we will not be able to use it.

I have written WIN7 on the disk

 

snip in your gmail cant get it to fit in FPCH

This is from your disk Bob.

 

It looks like a Win 7 disk - hopefully it is the full install version.

 

This is the link that you sent me - click here

Scroll down to ..Start your Win7 in-place reinstallation

 

Suggest that you print the instructions off.

 

You need to have booted up and have Windows running first.

 

At one point in the "Repair Install" the author suggests that you check the box to "Go Online to get important updates"

I suggest that you select the other option ...

 

[ATTACH=CONFIG]1375.vB5-legacyid=2440[/ATTACH]

 

"Do NOT get the latest Updates"

If you select the top option I think SP1 will try to install at this point.

We want to do a repair install first before we try SP1 again.

 

Remember the Product Key is the one off the label on your machine.

 

If your disk is not a full installation one you will not be able to follow the instructions.

 

There is a warning in the tutorial that you should have a backup of your system.

In other words - there is a possibility that it could go wrong.

It is possible to clone the drive or create an image if you wish.

You would need another external hard disk for this.

[bob12a]

would the hard disk have to be empty I might be able to format one of my spares

managed to get out of upgrade I had started from the win7 dsk it contains all win 7,s PHEW

 

My comp is Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium (X86)

 

all back to running normal (no sp1)

[KenB]

Hi Bob

 

would the hard disk have to be empty I might be able to format one of my spares

If you were to create an image of the drive [ literally a like - for like copy ] then the Hard Dive would need to be formatted and at least the same size or larger than the partitions you are copying.

So if you had 2 partitions C: say 100GB and E: say 60 GB then your spare Hard Drive would need to be at least 160 GB

 

The idea of a clone is .... you create an EXACT copy of your present hard drive.

You could then - if there was a problem - pop the copy in and boot up again and you wouldn't see any difference from what you have at the moment.

 

This is the easiest ( and best ) option.

 

Will your spare Hard Disk be big enough ?

 

win7 dsk it contains all win 7,s

Could you have selected "Home Premium 32 bit" if you wished?

Hi Bob

 

Try installing SP1 again ................. and cross your fingers :)

 

If that fails ...

 

Insert your Win7 Copy disk again and - ......try the Repair install again.

I read this in the tutorial .......Your license key unlocks whichever edition you paid for...... so give it another try.

Unless you prefer to wait and clone the drive first ?

This is probably the best option.

[bob12a]

Hi Bob

 

Try installing SP1 again ................. and cross your fingers :) YOU MIGHT WELL LAUGH

 

If that fails ... IT DID

 

Insert your Win7 Copy disk again and - ......try the Repair install again.

I AWAIT FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS ON A THAT REQUEST

 

 

I read this in the tutorial .......Your license key unlocks whichever edition you paid for...... so give it another try.

Unless you prefer to wait and clone the drive first ?

This is probably the best option

 

ITHINK I WILL WAIT.

 

My C; Is 910G less 594 D:20G less 9

[KenB]

Hi Bob

 

Your main drive is 1TB.

 

The drive that you sent me an image of is 500 GB ( 1/2 TB )

The C: partition is 910 GB

 

To clone the drive you would need an equivalent sized drive to copy it to.

 

We could look at re-sizing C: - you have 65 % free - and cloning just that on to your spare drive.

Alternatively ..we could image the drive.

This is a little more complex ..... involves creating a disk that is used to re-install when needed.

 

I will have a think .... and a chat to Nev ..... :)

 

In the mean time .... right click on the unallocated space ..... if "Format" is an option select this.

If not ...

"New Simple Volume" should be.

Select this.

You will be asked to select the size of the volume ..........you want the maximum.

You will be asked to select a drive letter - use the default as long as this is not the same as the drive letters you already have ( C / D / F / G / H )

 

You can then format the drive.

You will probably be asked which File System you want ...... select NTFS

 

Please confirm that your spare drive is now formatted and let me know the size of the partition.

[bob12a]

Working on it now hard disk

Beging to think it might be worth ME taking a chance without clone

 

 

[KenB]

taking a chance without clone

Don't do that Bob ... you could end up without a computer and having to re-install ......which you didn't want to do.

 

Do you have a second computer ?

[bob12a]

Don't do that Bob ... you could end up without a computer and having to re-install ......which you didn't want to do.

 

Do you have a second computer ?

 

I will Follow your instruction

Asking for help and not taking it would be ignorant and MAD

 

a spare lap top but would need to check OS

 

YHGM only way I can get snip to you

Hi Bob

 

YHGM only way I can get snip to you

 

I have nothing in my inbox ?

Not since your email from early this morning.

 

Did you manage to sort the Boot.ini out ?

Did you manage to format the hard-drive ?

[KenB]

Hi Bob

 

One of my questions answered ....you have managed to format the unallocated space - well done :)

 

I have been speaking with Nev ... the best way to go now would be to create an image of your hard drive onto the newly formatted disk.

It is not big enough to clone your drive onto.

[bob12a]

Happy to go ahead with creating image if you hold my hand as usual

 

Having problems connecting laptop to router

any help please

 

I can use my friends laptop to chat to you if I have to

[DSTM]

Just a thought Ken. It would be possible to clone onto W: partition if Bob could shrink C: Partition smaller than 465 GB or equal to.

I have done it with success.

That's the only way I see it possible.

[KenB]

Yes - thought of that already Dougie ..we wanted to keep it as simple as possible.

I will have another chat with Nev.

[Plastic Nev]

Bob,

 

here is a Tutorial and I hope you can follow it easily, it isn't too complicated if done one stage at a time.

Making a backup image using Macrium Reflect free version.

 

Firstly, if you don't already have Macrium Reflect installed you need to download and install it.

You will also need an externally connected hard drive. Either via USB, or SATA port or leads.

 

Also for later you will need a DVD write only blank disk to burn a rescue disk. (Instructions for that are at the end.)

 

If you go to the Macrium site, they offer a download of the free version through C.Net.com. Unfortunately there is a possibility of getting caught with unwanted tool bars, and other junkware from C.Net.

So I think perhaps it may be safer to download from Major Geeks here :-

 

http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/macrium_reflect_free_edition.html

 

I will still urge that during the install process that you read each box that opens, if offered unwanted extras such as toolbars, so called free antivirus scans etc., remove ticks from the boxes for them, if you are offered either custom or advanced install, please choose that, as it is then that you will see those unwanted additions and be able to remove the ticks to prevent them.

 

Once you have downloaded and installed Macrium Reflect, makes sure your external hard drive is plugged in and powered up and then open the Macrium Reflect program, a small box opens first telling you it is analysing things, once that has gone the main page opens as here.

 

http://i38.servimg.com/u/f38/14/68/69/96/new_ma10.jpg

 

On the top will be your original internal hard drive, with your external hard drive shown in red below as the arrows show.

 

You now need to click on "Image this disk". as shown in red

 

another window then opens as shown here.

 

http://i38.servimg.com/u/f38/14/68/69/96/new_ma11.jpg

 

Make sure there is a dot in the circle for "Folder". Then click on the square with three dots in it to find your external hard drive, in this case it is drive K and with the model number Buffalo, which in this instance is my own external drive. Yours will be different, however if the computer recognised it when plugged in it will have been given a drive letter which you should have seen at the time, it could be E, F, J, or even as mine K.

In the box, click on Computer, to expand it and then find your external drive, click on it then click OK.

as below.

 

http://i38.servimg.com/u/f38/14/68/69/96/new_ma12.jpg

 

That box will go away and it should show K:\ in the folder bar.

Click next on the bottom row and you should then see this page opens.

 

http://i38.servimg.com/u/f38/14/68/69/96/new_ma13.jpg

 

You can scroll down to check that each stage and partition required is there in the list.

If happy, click finish on bottom right.

This next box opens asking what to do, make surer there is a tick in the box for Run this backup now.

If you wish to keep an XML file, also make sure of the tick and as can be seen you can give it a name as I did with Nev 3

 

http://i38.servimg.com/u/f38/14/68/69/96/new_ma14.jpg

 

Then click OK, and Macrium will then start to create the image on to the external hard drive.

It may take several hours depending on how much data is on the drive.

 

Once you have created the image it is at this point that I recommend you make a rescue disk. This is a bootable disk that is used to boot the computer, and then transfer the image back to your internal hard drive.

It is definitely required should anything go wrong with the internal drive, so I do urge you to make that disk.

To do so, you will need a write only DVD disk, and of course a CD/DVD disk drive to burn it.

We then go back to the first page to open and click on the disk Icon as shown in blue.

 

http://i38.servimg.com/u/f38/14/68/69/96/new_ma15.jpg

 

You will then see this opens.

 

http://i38.servimg.com/u/f38/14/68/69/96/rescue10.jpg

 

If wanting a quick and easy one put the dot in the circle for the Linux disk and click "Next". This opens , at this point make sure you have a write only CD or DVD disk in the drive ready, and then click the "finish" button.

 

http://i38.servimg.com/u/f38/14/68/69/96/linux_10.jpg

 

The disk should then be burned as an ISO image disk.

 

You should then see this open, please take note of it and check the disk is OK as it instructs.

 

http://i38.servimg.com/u/f38/14/68/69/96/linux_11.jpg

 

To do a full check, shut down the computer, and press the main power button then enter the BIOS to select the CD/DVD drive or if your computer has one, enter the boot priority page and select the CD/DVD disk drive as the first boot device. Insert the disk you have just burned, the computer should then boot up from the disk.

Once it has done you should see the restore wizard screen open up, click next, then from that page try to navigate round to find your external hard drive. If you can find it, then all is well and you can click the close button, remove the disk and the computer will then boot normally.

 

If on the other hand, the linux system cannot find the external hard drive, you may have to burn the Windows PE disk from the burning wizard. Be warned that does take some time as it involves a very large download from Microsoft Windows.

 

Nev.
