CODE ERROR 5 WIN7
« on: March 18, 2011, 12:32:36 AM »
hello

I have been getting this Cannot boot from disk: Code5 error...and apparently it has something to do with the .ISO file extention on the image file. how do i edit it or how i solve this code 5 error thing it had been goin on for days, i have changed up to 5 DVD drives it still doesnt work.
and this disk can boot on other PCs is it my mother board? because i have formatted my HDD on this PC that i have tested with and it booted and worked, and when i put it in my pc it did nt work.


what to do?  ??? :-\

I am not sure what you did....

Did you format your hard drive and load windows 7? Or did you try to format a DVD and write a copy of windows to it?

Please run down the steps so we can understand what you did to start getting the error code.

Not really: I restarted my pc cause it froze, and i got a msg that: partition boot error...so i thot it was the HDD/MBR
*i ran a checkdisk(s) it didnt work and, so thats when i tried to run win7 Disc to perform some diagonistics and repair...it gave me that CODE 5 Error when the cd booted.
* So I wrote a new Win7 image into a clean DVD..and it booted in a pc that i was copying it from (pc1). But then when i used it in my PC (pc2) it gave me the same error as before.
* i decided to backup and format. I then formatted in pc1 to test what will happen, it formatted just fine i let it load and finish, and win7 was running perfectly fine. But then i took my HDD to plug it in pc2, nothing happend it needed a repair again. (i think it was different specs and configuration on pc2) Ja i just kinda gave up from there.

hope this was helpful.

He's asking if you have obtained that .ISO file from Microsoft.

My guess would be that your missing the boot-strapper that is on the original disk.

I agree...try to get a real copy of windows 7 and load the machine from scratch.

Also you can't make an image of PC1 and then move the hard drive to another machine. Windows will error out and not run.

From this webpage, you can download official win 7 setup files  from digitalriver.

This assumes you have the legal keys for windows 7 already, and the links seem to be working as ot now.

Thank you very much i tried with the real copy, but it was after i reinstalled XP SP3 and i later migrated to Win7 through windows (without booting with a cd ) and its working perfectly fine.

thank you all for the input and advice.
