There is a 90 day trial version available for download Quote from: Allan on May 06, 2010, 11:56:54 AM Not necessarily. There is a 90 day trial version available for download Enterprise, available to "IT pros, decision makers and developers". You have to correctly fill out a survey. Quote from: Allan on May 06, 2010, 11:56:54 AM Not necessarily. There is a 90 day trial version available for downloadYes. You can find it on the Microsoft site. OR Windows 7 trial version (Read the fine print.) NOTE: It is a trail version. You should install it on a workstation by itself. When it is uninstalled it will may do near permanent changes to the hard drive that can not be fixed easily. Maybe this is what caused the problem the OP has? Quote NOTE: It is a trail version.

When Enterprise edition Win7 is uninstalled it may damage a hard drive ? ? I've never heard this anywhere... Quote from: patio on May 06, 2010, 01:25:39 PM When Enterprise edition Win7 is uninstalled it may damage a hard drive ? ?Sorry I misspoke. I MEANT to say that it does not have an uninstall process that works the way you would perhaps like. Windows 7 makes a change to the hard drive that appears to another OS as some kind of hardware error. But it is not a real change to the hardware. It is a change to the MBR . The change is compatible within defined limits. You can run Windows XP on a disk that had been altered by Windows 7. But doing uninstall Windows 7 does not reverse the changes made to the MBR. This is similar, but not the same, as a ISSUE with some older Linux fdisk utilities. After doing the trail and if you no longer want the Windows 7 and if you want to use an older OS, then you have to do a full deletion, creation and format before installing the older OS on a hard drive that hard Windows 7 on it. That is why I recommend you install it on a HDD by itself. An yes, there can be exceptions. Windows 7 does not force a partition boundary to land on a cylinder boundary. Older OS expect the boundaries to align. It will cause strange behaviors with and without error messages. If the OS part ion and cylinder boundaries just align anyhow, there would be no problem. I hope this clears up some of the CONFUSION. Just went through the torture of getting my stuff off of my 250GB drive because I could not longer boot it without Windows 7 or a second drive present in the system. Drove me crazy. So I start babbling a lot. Lost some sleep. Didn't get it fixed until 4 am.so has any one found out how to fix this one yet??Where was the DLoad from ? ?heres the link to the 90 day trail http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/cc442495.aspx Please only use authorized affiliates when linking to Microsoft downloads. Thanks.Another link that doesn't give some random blogger pass-through traffic: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/cc442495.aspx Neither of these answer Patio's question, though. The error message quoted is consistent with a pirated copy.The link i gave is legal but i dont think they have anymore keys. i mean it only went to march i think |
