• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Anyone Else's Windows 7 Take a Dump

After the last Windows 7 update, my Windows 7 machine took a vacation and would not boot.
I repaired the MBR and it booted fine for a few days, then same issue.

SO, I formatted that HD and reinstalled.
Again, the HD worked fine until the last Windows 7 update.

SO, I switched to my second HD which was Windows XP.
I could see the Windows 7 files, could access them and move them, but could not boot into Windows 7.

SO, I partitioned the XP HD and installed Windows 7 in the formatted partition and dual booted just fine until the last windows 7 update was installed.

I had this same problem with Windows 98SE a long time ago.
I also had it with Windows XP until I stopped allowing Microsoft updates to XP and disconnected XP from the internet.

Just checking to see if anyone else has recently had problems with Windows 7 lately?
