Hi! I got a big problem and cant find a way to fix it.
On my PC i installed 7... but id like to install Vista as well since 7 sucks for gaming.
My system is this... 3tb hd with:
D primary partition 100 mega reserved for system, 7 creared it when i installed it.
C primary 100 giga, 7 installed
I primary 50 giga, where i want to install vista
J logical 1500 giga
K logical 400 giga
You noticed there are 800 giga missing... the problem is that for some reason, windows 7 can only see 2tb of my hd (even if i got a motherboard, asrock h61m, with a bios that should be new enuff to see the whole 3tb, infact bios can see 3). So, to be able to use the latest 800giga, i used a tool from asrock, called 3tb unlocker. From what i saw, it simulates a 2nd hd (even if its still the same one) with 800 giga.
Now... i just tried to install VISTA in the partition I... everything went fine... until the end... after you set the admin password and it reboots. After the boot, i get the usual error page:
WINDOWS BOOTS MANAGER
Windows did not load bla bla
1
2
3
File: \$windows.-bt\Windows\system32\winload,exe
status: 0x00000f
Info: impossible to load the selected file, application missing or damaged.
The odd thing is that id i do what it suggests, and boot from the vista installation disk and choose repair, it doesnt repair anything, and also it sees vista in G partition instead of I. Why's that? Is that why it doesnt work? The thing is that EasyBCD actually sees the OS in the right partition:
There are a total of 2 entries listed in the bootloader.
Default: Windows 7
Timeout: 30 seconds
EasyBCD Boot Device: C:\
Entry #1
Name: Microsoft Windows Vista
BCD ID: {8a3bd22e-02b0-11e2-8eb6-8aa289ab7872}
Drive: I:\
Bootloader Path: \Windows\system32\winload.exe
Entry #2
Name: Windows 7
BCD ID: {default}
Drive: C:\
Bootloader Path: \Windows\system32\winload.exe
Also, now im writing this from W7, and i noticed that the last 800giga partition (the one i talked earlier which is usable only after i installed 3tb unlocker) is gone... i guess the vista installer didnt didnt like it and i have to reinstall 3tb unlocker to get it back (altho im not sure what this application really does).
So... any suggestion? As you can see, its a mess... i tried to install vista twice, both times same error. Why doesnt it work? Anyone tried something like this before?
Thanks in advance!
