hi

so sorry that u had to write all that instruction. i always get to :  "press enter and when Windows has finished loading the files, use the dropdown to change the Time and Currency and that will auto change the keyboard," without trouble.

thanks for the detail, im sure thats what i do each time...but will try again tomorrow , and to the letter

qaz:
hi

i must be going wrong at this point : "This is where you make a note of the partition letter - Next - and that should give you the Recovery Environment where you can select from Startup Repair down to Command Prompt." could u explain this instruction pls as i dont understand what to do at this point

Repair your Computer will not work as its not compatible with my version

have also tried my original win 7 disc again and still cant get back to the repair screen , i definitely used that a week ago to "repair win startup", i thought maybe it would also offer the "repair windows" option that we are looking for on your disc

Boggin:
I've had a similar problem when I sent someone else some disks where it didn't give the choice of version to install.

That was for someone using the Pro version, but with the ei.cfg file removed, it should allow you to use it on a an Ultimate version.

Can you go Start - right click on Computer and select Properties - this will confirm which version of Windows you are using, 32 or 64 bit and if SP1 is installed.

I'll burn you some more disks and get those off to you this afternoon.

I have this ISO stored on two laptops so will burn them from the other laptop to see if they work any better.

Boggin:
I've found out why those disks haven't worked for you.

I'd been playing with the ei.cfg removal utility - run it once and it removes the file - run it again and it restores it.

Must have left it restored, but have checked both disks and they boot up as well as giving the setup.exe when loading them in Windows.

I've marked the envelopes 2 so you will know which is which, but you can bin those others as they are just for Pro.

qaz:
sounds like ur putting in more work on this than i am :)....its 64 bit, sp1, ultimate, activated, qem

i think its fair now to make some financial compensation to you, ur costs are mounting up

will let u know result

thanks again
