TI 11 Home corrupted my disk(s)

I just bought and installed TI 11 Home on my vista 64 machine. I also created boot CD and the rebooted. Boot CD seemed to work, so I reboted, but windows wouldn't boot anymore.

Error:
Windows\system32\winload.exe
status 0xc000000e
Info: The selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or corrupt.


I have (had?) two 750gb disk configured as dynamic disks with two partitions. First one had windows system files, the second one was mirrored (to second drive). Remaining space on second drive was used for yet another disk.

Both disks are SATA, configured as AHCI running intel matrix storge drivers.
I cannot even get window CD to find the old instalation. What bothers me the most is that I did nothing except install TI. Any ideas what to do?

 

I don't know what to suggest what you do now. But TI 11 does not support dynamic disks. Even so as all you did was install and create a CD I have no idea what happened to your system.

If you can get into any kind of boot mode or rollback the best thing to do is uninstall TI as it will not work on your dynamic disk system.

Actually, I found the problem. TI install marked (corrupted) my dynamic disks as foreign. I had to go into vista repair (vista cd), load intel storage drivers, go to command prompt, use diskpart to import disks and run repair startup. Then system booted.

After I uninstalled TI, I had to repeat the whole process.

Never though that installing backup software would break my machine. I requested refund and I think I'll try using vista backup...

 

After you repaired the system, and uninstalled Vista, you will probably find that the boot CD will work fine for manual Backup and Restore. And if that's all you need to do, then there is no need to re-install TI.

 

Vista backup is a bit odd in how it stores the files, but it should work.
