Lee Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Hi all, I've installed Windows 7 Beta on a seperate hard drive, but when I try booting it only the "For testing purposes only" watermark appears and I cannot go any further. The installation was successful (apparently), I'm just unable to boot into Windows 7. I've tried reinstalling but with no luck. What might be the problem?

striff Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I had the same problem. I unplugged every device from my computer except for the keyboard and my monitor and it booted. Hopefully that can solve your problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted December 31, 2008 Author Share Posted December 31, 2008 Yeah, I finally unplugged my Sony TV and it worked... after plugging it all back in everything is working correctly. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siucdude Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Anyone else have any ideas i tried everything out there. from the black screen i can get the task manager and lunch IE8 and Firefox and almost any program but i can't get the darn thing to boot. I even created a new user. Safe mode also not working. I did go to Nvidia and downloaded the new driver and installed it,, but nothing. Basically i can run any program but wont boot. Also i checked the even log and no errors reported. Any ideas appreciated. Thx TJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
