Hello
I have Dell E5410 Latitude laptop with I5, 4gb, 500 gb disk.
From August last to a month back, I had 5 installs of Win7, all running, no problems.
Then ransomware-virus attacked and I used Linux to format the disk, then installed win7 64 bit, which runs till date.
However, I tried installing win 7 on other partitions, it installs fine, boots once or twice, and after windows update, gets locked in Startup Error. In 10 trials, I tried limiting the Windows update to bare minimum (wifi drivers, touchpad drivers, sp1), but no difference found.
On my last trial, I disabled windows update and it worked for a day. On second day, it again got into the same Startup Errors and no matter how many times I ran the Repair utility, it did not work.
Any ideas on what can be wrong? I know having multiple installs sounds crazy, but all house members need different settings and not satisfied using as different users on same install.
