Windows 7 Boot question

I'm really stuck and hope someone is able to help me. I am not a COMPUTER expert, so please be patient.

I'm helping a friend with his HP notebook which they got the upgrade to windows 7. (Part of a HP agreement were going here in New Zealand). I have it loaded to the top and things went well.

When I restart or start the laptop now, it comes up with a screen that says:

Choose an operating system to start, or press TAB to select the tool:

It gives me 2 options:

Installation of Windows

Windows 7

If I let it run windows setup it just flows in a loop and keeps restarting itself. (I tried to boot with the CD and the CD on but same result).

If I tab down and select Windows 7 it starts very well and windows works.

I managed to activate windows with the etc button so it's all sorted out on that side.

I also ran the memory tool (one of the options on the home screen), and she came back without error.

Can someone please help me to get the laptop to boot in Windows 7 and get rid of this first screen automatically.

Thanks a lot for your help.

You are in a situation of dual boot with Boot Manager. Usually Boot Manager is used to give you a way to get back in case something goes wrong during installation.  In your case, the installation program is not cleaned after installation.

You must assign the default value of the Windows 7 boot partition.  I use EASYBCD (it's free) to manage the default starting value.  Disk management Windows 7 can also be used.

    I have a MBP 15 "mid 2015 16G with AMD R9 M370X i7.

    I've been running bootcamp with Windows 10 installation for about a month now without any problems.  However, yesterday 10 Windows started and has been blocked in a black screen (before any screen logo or connection win) with the CPU works hard and hot.

    1. I tried to restart some time hold button / stop and start with the option key, key and then selecting the windows bootcamp partition but it drove the same black screen with CPU hot work in the background.

  • El Capitan and Windows 10 Boot Camp Assistant

    Hi, this is my first post so apologies if I've left out anything important. Let me know and I'll add the necessary details.

    Fast, I have been using Windows for years and I wanted to get into Apple and finally last month made the leap. I have a brand new MacBook Pro with 16 GB of RAM El Capitan - 10.11.4 running. However, I am having a lot of problems with the creation and installation of 10 Windows using Boot Camp.

    I had this work with Windows 10 times but made some fundamental mistakes. I resized the partition windows using a windows product so that I could add another partition. This seemed to work and I used it for a short time BUT when I tried to boot into El Capitan would not and that it would only boot Windows. After reading on what I see now that resize the windows from windows under Boot Camp partition is a no-no. lesson learned!

    To actually do things once again, I removed the windows partitions using disk utility. (Again I see now that it is an another no-no that I'd
    used Boot Camp Assistant to remove Windows!) Eventually however, I managed to get to El Capitan, working on the single partition, it is now again works fine and as far as I can tell without any problem.

    After having to go that if I went back to load 10 Windows using Boot Camp. All works until the final start in the section windows it:

    • Creates the separate windows partition
    • Load the ISO file
    • The Windows Support Tools downloads
    • Runs the ISO file and everything looks good... see below: (apologies for the poor quality of the screenshots)

    Then, during 'Finish Up', I get an error window:

    "Windows has no prepare the computer to start the next phase of the installation." To install Windows restart installation. »

    I tried many things such as to download the Windows ISO file again, running SNC and LANDAU after removing the Windows partition using Boot Camp Assistant and ensure that all other connections to the MBP is deleted except WiFi and get always the same message. As the whole process takes a few hours and tried to work through this for some days now, I would really appreciate some advice/help here for this issue very frustrating sorted.

    Thanks in advance

  • 19 Windows in boot camp with el capitan

    I tried to install 10 windows using boot camp and not have a bit of luck to succeed. I got the partition in boot camp, got an iso 10 load on a flash key windows, got windows to install and accept the key. When he asks to load the drivers up and say that there is no drivers are found. I went through everything, including windows dvd in the external drive. Where can I find the drivers in order to move forward and complete the installation?

    Thank you
