The new Windows 7 operating system offers some great benefits but it does not come without its share of issues. Once you get through the small and annoying little bugs it seems that using Windows 7 is smooth sailing. Once of the complaints from many Windows 7 users is the endless reboots that seem to happen during the installation upgrade.
When attempting to upgrade to Windows 7 some users may experience one of the two common error messages.
- Windows 7 could not be installed.
- The previous version (Vista or XP or whatever version was being upgraded) has been restored.
Both messages indicate that there is a problem with the upgrade. These reboots could go on forever even if you stop the upgrade and restart your system. Users report that each time the system is rebooted Windows will automatically start the upgrade process again and the same error messages surface again and again. This process can go on and on until you do something to stop this vicious reboot cycle and finally complete the Windows 7 download once and for all.
Here is a quick fix for the Windows 7 endless reboot bug:
- Select your previous operating system from the boot menu at startup.
- Insert your old operating system installation disk into your drive.
- When the old operating system setup menu appears click Exit setup.
- Click Start.
- Click on All Programs.
- Click on Accessories.
- Right click and the Command Prompt.
- Choose Run.
- At the Command prompt type in D:/Boot/Bootsect.exe/NT60 All. (Note: You will want to replace the letter D with the letter of the drive that contains your installation disk if it is not D). This command should reset the parameters for your system to complete the installation.
- Reboot your system and try the installation process again.
These instructions should help you get past the reboot bug. If you do not have an installation disk or continue to experience problems with the upgrade you should contact Windows help and support.
