Windows 7 cannot boot
- Hi, I'm desperate and I need help.
First, my system:
MB: nForce striker II formula i780
CPU: intel core 2 quad Q9550
GPU: nVidia GeForce GTX 280
main hard disk is a RAID-0 setup.
My problem is, that windows 7 fails, when trying to boot. I get a disk boot error and I'm asked to insert a system disk to boot. the only way to boot is to insert the windows 7 DVD. actually. at the moment, the problem is even weirder. right now, I can't even boot with the windows 7 dvd but only with a vista dvd.
some guy thought, it could have something to do with the S-ATA driver.
but as soon as I try to update/install the nForce driver (doesn't matter which version), I have to do a system recovery, before I can even boot somehow.
I really need help, please. thanks in advance.

Hi Coloneljesus,
Thanks for supplying the current configuration of you machine. Let work with what you have below:
==============================================================================================================================================================================
I already am computing with Windows 7. So my current OS is Windows 7.
Well, I did what you said anyways. I went through the whole upgrade and during the installation, no problems occurred. But after that, I still can't boot without the DVD. The issue persists.
What to do next?
==============================================================================================================================================================================
- If you can boot into "Windows 7", then run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisory" utility:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=de&FamilyID=1b544e90-7659-4bd9-9e51-2497c146af15
- The "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisory" will determine the compliancy of you hardware and software. It will verify if hardware drivers are available for your computer in order to configure Windows 7 properly. It will verify whether your current application are compatible/compliant to migrate over to Windows 7.
- Double check hardware configuration. Go to "Device Manager": Click on "Start", right click on "Computer", and then left click on "Manage". Click on "Device Manger" and verify that all drivers are install and that there is no un-configured devices "?" in Windows 7. If there is, then verify that certified drivers are available for Windows 7. *If not, then you will need to back out of your Windows 7 Upgrade/Migration. According to ASUS, drivers are available for your System under Windows 7 (x86/x64):
Link: http://usa.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=wOFZuyplXj0vLmAc
Options
1. Updated BIOS is available for your Machine as previously suggested by (Nicholas Li) including drivers.
Link: 2009/09/11 (http://usa.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=wOFZuyplXj0vLmAc)
a. Verify if you can boot your machine into Windows 7
b. If updating the BIOS does not work, then boot as usual and press "F8" and select the "Repair Your Computer" option". If the repair fails, then you will need to perform Option-2
2. If boot failure is a result of a master boot record (MBR), then you may want to follow the procedures in the link below. You will need a Windows RE disc. If this fails, then perform Option-3
Link: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/927392
3. If the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisory" certified that you can upgrade to "Windows 7", then perform a clean installation by booting from the Windows 7 DVD.
a. Why? Currently you cannot boot from your RAID-0 setup. A clean installation will determine the stability of your installation on the next reboot. Also, before the clean installation, you may want to re-setup your RAID-0 (Use the BIOS RAID utility). If there are problems with the hard-drive, then the RAID utility will notify you.
b. Perform a custom installation. Delete all partition from your RAID-0 setup. Do not touch the 700GB drive.
i. *Have the qualifying Windows 7 driver for your current RAID controller. Without this diver I do not recommend doing a clean installation.
ii. Manually create a new "partition"
iii. Click on "Next" to install a fresh copy of "Windows 7"
c. Since you system is built for gaming, you may want to create an image of your fully activated installation. You are using RAID-0 which is great for gaming performance, but in case of hard-drive failure, you can fully restore you system from the image file.
Note: Before performing a clean installation of Windows 7, backup all of you data. Create at least two backups. One backup to external storage, and the other backup 700GB drive to be safe.
4. If Option-3 fails, then contact ASUS technical support.
Keep us informed of your progress.

Coloneljesus,
The missing driver is for your multimedia controller. You can go ahead and load the driver. Before you do that, it is a good idea to load the latest "Chipset" driver for you computer released by ASUS. Reboot the machine. Verify again if there are any unconfigured devices in "Device Manager". If the multimedia driver shows up as unconfigured, then load the certified driver for Windows 7. Since the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisory" tool reported 100%, then you should be abled to download and load the latest driver for your multimedia controller.
-Keep in mind, that after the Chipset installation is completed and the booting continues to give problems, then you may want to consider Options 2, 3, or 4.
-Also your mahcine does not support Intel ACHI Controller option.
Hope all goes well.

Hi,
This issue can occur by corrupted boot files or incorrect hard disk settings. I suggest you perform the following steps to troubleshoot the issue.
Note: Please ensure that the DVD-ROM is the first booting device. If you are unsure how to change this BIOS setting, please contact the computer manufacturer for more information.
1. When prompted to press a key to boot from the CD or DVD, please press Enter or the space bar.
2. Click "Next" and click "Repair your computer".
3. Highlight the item related to Windows 7 and click "Next".
4. In the dialog-box titled "System Recovery Options", click "Command Prompt" and type in the following command.
BOOTREC /REBUILDBCD
5. If the command is successful, please close the Command Prompt window and reboot the computer.
However, if the issue persists, you may need perform In-Place Upgrade to repair the system.
Thanks,
Novak
- Ok.... current situation:
sometimes I can boot with the windows 7 dvd and sometimes, it tries to install windows 7. I don't know when it does what and why.
about your suggestion:
I did what you said. it read, that it detected 0 windows installations. the problem persists.
You have to help me there, since I speak german and own a german windows version. what exactly is an In-Place Upgrade?
(just in case, it wasn't clear: as soon as the system is up, everything works fine. but I don't think, that this really matters.)
thanks for the help so far! To perform an In-Place upgrade (Repair install), please refer to the following steps.
1. Start the computer by using the current Operating System.
2. Insert the Windows 7 DVD in the computer's DVD drive.
3. Use one of the following procedures, as appropriate:
If Windows automatically detects the DVD, the Install now screen appears. Click Install now.
If Windows does not automatically detect the DVD, follow these steps:
a. Click the Start Button, type Drive:\setup.exe in the start search box and then click OK.
Note: Drive is the drive letter of the computer's DVD drive.
b. Click Install now.
4. When you reach the "Which type of installation do you want?" screen, click Upgrade to upgrade the current operating system to Windows 7.
Thanks,
Novak

Well, I did what you said anyways. I went through the whole upgrade and during the installation, no problems occured. But after that, I still can't boot without the DVD. The issue persists.
what to do next? - I still don't know what to do? Any help, please?
I suggest you perform a Parallel Install of Windows 7 to check whether the issue persists when booting in the new operating system.
a. Start the computer by using the Windows 7 DVD. To do this, insert the Windows 7 DVD in the computer's DVD drive, and then restart the computer.Note: To start the computer from the Windows 7 DVD, the computer must be configured to start from the DVD drive. For more information about how to configure the computer to start from the DVD drive, see the documentation that is included with the computer, or contact the computer manufacturer.
b. When the "Press any key to boot from CD" message is displayed on the screen, press a key.
c. Follow the instructions that are displayed on the screen to type in the product key and accept the Licensing Agreement.
d. Click Next and choose the Custom (Advanced) option.
e. Select another disk drive and click Next.
f. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the installation.
Hi Coloneljesus,
-One of the most important task is to validate whether you computer is Windows 7 Compatible.
-I have encountered several issues with booting Windows 7 and all were relevant to the following SATA controller: "Intel(R) ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller".
-Boot your machine go into BIOS.
-Verify if there is a "SATA Controller Mode Option:". If there is, then change it to "Compatibility".
If the "SATA Controller Mode Option:" is set to "AHCI", then you will not be able to access the Hard Drive/DVD-Rom properly even if you boot from the Windows 7 DVD-rom.
Making the above changes should fix the current problem.
-With the "Intel(R) ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller", you will need the qualifying driver for VISTA/Windows 7.
-Another comment. You have mentioned RAID-0 (or meant primary hard-drive is a volume). If RAID is used, then is it hardware or OS driven?
Thanks.- i need help guys.. i've installed win7 on acer 4730z and succesfully installed it.. but it wont survive the next boot. i mean after restart for the first time.. try to repair using default win7 boot sccreen but it take to long and lastly it said "bad driver" ..
and im sure the disk is ok as i manage to install it on my frriend pc and it run ok - I got into the BIOS but I couldn't find an option with a SATA-Controller mode or anything like that.
How do I check if I have that "Intel(R) ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller" and how do I find and install the right driver?
And how do I check, if my PC is Compatible?
Um... I'm not sure, but I think that my RAID-0 is OS driven. I have two 300GB-Disks, each connected with a SATA-cable. I set the RAID up with some nVidia tool called MediaShield.
Please help me with these questions and ask me for more information if needed. Thank you very much. - I already tried this. It didn't work either. Neither on the first, nor on the second partition/disk.

This is the MB I have. So yes. Your information is correct.
Memory: 2x2GB DDR2 DIMM Corsair Twin2X Dominator
So it most likely is one of these two:
http://is.gd/53uIQ
http://is.gd/53uJn Hi,
I think you can also try to update the BIOS.
If you can boot to the system, please also remove the chipset (motherboard) driver and try the latest version.
Hope this helps. Thanks.
Nicholas Li - MSFT- I tried this whole thing with no chipset driver and with the 3 latest driver versions. none of them worked.
um... how do I update my BIOS? Hi Coloneljesus,
I think I have found the problem with your current configuration. Your motherboard only has 6-SATA ports. When the "NVIDIA MediaShield™ RAID" is enabled, all SATA Port must be Hard-Drive Media, and must not connect any media such as CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, and Etc. You cannot RAID different combination of media types. You are currently setup for RAID-0 which means that you are using the "NVIDIA MediaShield™ RAID" and thereby cannot attached a DVD-Drive on any available SATA port.
-IMPORTANT
RAID-0 offers no protection and it is like having a SATA driver formatted as a volume
-Options
1. In BIOS, disable the "NVIDIA MediaShield™ RAID" support
When disabled, you will be able to use the 6-SATA ports as STANDARD ports that will allow you to connect different SATA combination type such as SATA Hard-Drives and DVD-Drives.
Note:
English Manual: http://usa.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=wOFZuyplXj0vLmAc
Click on "Download", select "Others" for "operating System:", click on "Manual", and then select "English"
-To disable "RAID", read through section 5.4.2
2. If you do decide that you want to use the "NVIDIA MediaShield™ RAID" controller, then unplugged the current DVD-ROM and either use an external USB DVD-Rom or an ultra DMA 133 drive to do the installation of Windows 7. If you have 2 Hard-Drives of same type and size, then use RAID-1 (Mirror) for redundancy and protection. If 1-drive fails, then you will still be up and running with the other drive.
3. *If ASUS "NVIDIA MediaShield™ RAID" supports combination of media types, then you will have to get those settings from ASUS or NVIDIA directly. Meaning that you can select which SATA ports to RAID and which ports to use as Standard SATA ports. For instance, you can select SATA port 0-4 for RAID configuration, and port 5 to be use as a standard SATA port. If this is possible, then you will be able to use RAID configuration and standard SATA drive support.
Thanks
- I was using my PC with this setup:
SATA-port 0 & 1: RAID enabled
port 2-5: RAID disabled.
port 0: 300GB HD
port 1: 300GB HD
port 2: DVD-RW drive
port 3: DVD-drive
port 4: 700GB HD
port 5: connected to the front-panel e-SATA port. (I never used it)
I never had any issues with this setup before and I don't think that this is the reason for my problems.
I can enable and disable the RAID status of each SATA port in the BIOS. port 0 and 1 is enabled, the others are disabled. That's how it was with Vista and how it is with Windows 7. I didn't pull out or plug in any cables. If I'm not completly wrong, this is the setup as it should be. Hi Coloneljesus,

I have one device which is not installed. I don't know, which piece it is. It's called (in my german Windows): Videocontroller für Multimedia. So it must be something like videocontroller for multimedia.
should I proceed with the options or should I try to find out, which device this is and install the driver?

edit: I runned the upgrade advisory utility and the result is 100% compatible.- hi colnelijesus.
there are nforce issues with sata drivers well known issue.
first of all you want to install ONLY boot needed devices,that means nothing other then whats needed to boot the os and run setup.
so to do that you unplug and disable everything in the bios you wont use to boot and run set up.
read up on bios settings.
there should be a sata driver mode selection.
there two kinds of sata driver modes one is standard setting and the other is achi mode.
achi mode offers sata some options in disk but however windows has issues with this and so do different chipsets.
so i read up on this google nforce and achi mode.
some chipsets would rather use one mode in windows for best perfomance then another.
there also sata conflicts that are apart from the mode issue.
these may include ide isses such as a ide drive say like a cd rom.
say like a cd/dvd rom is on the ide channel and the sata drive on sata channel but it running in ide mode and cant detect what drive is the boot drive and so on.
in other words the cd rom is booting the os so it seen in bios as the master and main boot drive when you really need the hard drive to do this but the problem is to boot from the rom you need the rom as the first right as it will boot the os.
now if you have a multi cd set up in ide say two dvd devices one needs to be the master and other slave and booting from a disc on the wrong device can cause a issue.
why it best to boot a new system from only one rom allways.
install all other devices later.
one way around this issue might be to use a usb key 4 gig and download ms windows 7 usb/dvd tool.
this will make a bootable usb key that you can boot windows from with no cd roms installed.
this can avoid sata conflicts as nothing is on the ide channel so if say the sata driver selects ide mode nothing will come into conflict with it.
if the rom is a new sata rom same hold true as nothing will come into conflict as nothing is on the ide nor sata channel.
now you also have a raid setup.
a simple raid setup should be detected by windows 7 and should require no other special driver.
the key words are should.
that dose not means 100% but i start with a clean setup allways.
do a post setup.
thats probley 99% cause of issues in any os setup issues.
people throw everything together and try to boot up and the os has no idea how to run setup in what order.
this is again why it best to boot a new os or pc with min hardware.
then when it up and running you add hardware and test it.
yea i know a big pain in the neck and alot of time.
in the old days this is how a new pc was made.
today no one dose this they toss everything in and try to boot not knowing if it will work or there a cable unpluged.
this is onther reason to post a pc.
sata most of all with it bad cables and conections.
then work the problem in order and you should end up with only one or two reasons why it wont work right.
that narrows down the this alot so in the end the only issue say you might have is a nforce driver and then you can just work that one problem rather then trying 50 different things here like bad disk,cable,drive,or some thing someone posted that not related but they think it was.
allways start this way with min config and you wont have a issue like a bad cable or something that you did due to the other issue.
yea this happens alot when there a problem and people start trying anything and mayforget something simple.
it avoids mistakes but also limits conflicts that can happen.
do this and you allways know for sure what the conflict is and you have only that one issue to work.
such in your case the nforce driver issue.
dont do this and it can be one of 50 things or more and you could be working a nforce issue that alot of people have and it really a bad cable or device conflict instead of a nforce issue or a windows sata driver that you may require.
there should be a option in wndows setup to load a driver.
you may need a nforce sata raid driver.
i put this last because this is the last thing you should be working with just either a dvd rom or usb key,hard drives and mother board.
not web cams and back up usb drives and usb printers and host of a dozen things pluged in.
this is the exact reason why apple sold so many pc.
everything in a mac was controlled by mac and device conflicts were very limited.
in a pc this is not the case as a host of many vendors with slopy driver can cause a host of issues and there no way to test thousands of combos.
there are sata issues with windows 7 like there was sata issues with vista and xp.
some people have them some dont.
some people have no sata issue on a platter drive but do on a ssd.
some have nforce issues and some dont.
achi issues can be the worst so it depends on the chipset and windows whats works best so you want to read what mode works best for what chipset.
as for asus surport dont waste you time go to a hardware site and ask nforce owners they will know.
thats probley you best advice if in the end there no resolve..
i could say nforce boards are murder with installs but i be guessing and you will be too if dont try to do a setup in min config min hardware.
anyone can throw out awnsers like vid card or something but where be throwing darts.
now if you and everyone were to post a pc then there be no darts because we know for sure exactly there a known issue where.
orion. - I just wanted to say two things, orion.
The PC worked perfectly under Vista and I didn't plug in or out any cables. I can use all my devices.
And: I have not a single IDE-device plugged in or installed.
To everyone:
I'd love to try out different ACHI-modes but I just can't find any setting-options for this in my BIOS. Please help? Coloneljesus,
The missing driver is for your multimedia controller. You can go ahead and load the driver.

- I think, option 3 is the one that worked. however, I'm now able to start windows 7 without any disk.
Now I have only one fear.
Will it still work, after I installed the chipset-driver?
I'll keep you informed.
(sorry for beeing away for so long.)
and thanks very much for all the help!
