• Windows 7 won't start after install
    8 replies, posted
Recently i installed windows 7, everything installed perfectly. When it rebooted and i chose windows 7 to start ( i wanted to try windows 7, so i kept my vista. Vista on my C: and W7 on my D: ) but right after i chose windows 7 i get this flashing "_" and it keeps doing that, so i was away and left my pc on, and a half hour later it's still doing this. I don't know how to fix this, help!
Run startup repair
That "_" usualy means it can't find the OS. So mayb the install never happened. Or that the bootmgr is missing which stills points to the install.

Run msconfig and see what's in the Boot tab. [editline]07:49PM[/editline] In windows vista obviously

[b]EDIT[/b] A thing i forgot, it kept doing this after W7 install, it rebooted and i couldn't even choose the OS i wanted to run. So i had to reinstall windows 7 and when he rebooted for final setting ( when it rebooted at W7, i could chose then, it had the final settings like time and stuff) i could chose vista again. P.S, sorry for my terrible grammar.
Oh come on, can't anyone help, i can't even get in my vista anymore!
I remember having a not so different problem and for some reason booting it up with the install disc in the drive worked.
I've had this problem, go to bios, and go to boot sequence and change the first boot sequence to CD ROM and it will run..
