i was recently recommended (on another forum) this download to help with a booting /HDD problem on a laptop (failing HDD on Asus laptop, discussed in another thread). I Downloaded the software and made the CD. Before using it on the problem MACHINE i decided to test it on my Win7 64 bit Packard Bell desktop, which as far as i know has no problems with windows booting. I didn't run any recovery utilities or anything from the disc but ever since running the disc on the machine it has displayed the Windows BOOT Manager screen in the bios whenever i switch it on. This gives me the options to load Windows 7 normally or run Windows 7 recovery tools. I do not need thse options as i just WANT the PC to boot normally. I cant see anywhere in the Bios setup where i can turn this screen off and return the machine to normal running/booting.

Can anyone help please? Have i messed the machine up with this disc.?The boot up things on Windows 7 64 bit is not the same as anything else. Use only the MS Windows 7 DVD to make any changes.

The CD you describe is based on a collection older utilities that are not compatible with Windows 7 64 bit. The is no resown to believe that such programs are safe. The 64 bit boot loader is very different. Very different. Older programs makes broad assumptions that no longer work.

EDIT:
The 64 bit compatibility issues have been documented elsewhere. The issues include the 64 bit boot up thing.
Use the original Windows 7 64 bit DVD to make repairs.
One question: Is the Ultimate Boot CD suitable for Win7 32 bit? This is the type of windows 7 i was recomended to use it for/on. Using it on a 64 bit machine was my error, did not need it for that. Was intended to hepl recover or at least test a HDD on a 32bit machine that appears to be failing. was given detailed instructions on another help forum (Bleeping Computer) as to how to use it. Contributor was convinced it was what i needed.

As for corecting the 'DAMAGE' to the 64bit system, i have the recovery discs i made when i got the machine plus a driver disc. How do i go about undoing the damage done by the Ultimate Boot CD?Quote from: Geek-9pm on July 13, 2012, 02:09:05 PM
