Is there a way ti install FD-ISR on pc that came with Windows 7

I have read all the threads and with at least what little I can understand, there isnt. Am I wrong, thanks.

 

I'm having the same problem ... new machine with Win7 (64 bit) preinstalled ... wanting DESPARATELY to be able to use FS-ISR!! HELP!!!!!

 

yes very simple I assume 64 bit is the same as 32

Take a Vista recovery disk boot to a command prompt and replace the MBR


bootsect /nt60 c:\

reboot into windows 7 ....... FD should now install


may also find these useful
bootrec fixmbr
bootrec fixboot

 

Thank you Starfish_001!!!!!
I'll try it!

 

Or...Alternatively, while W7 is running, insert Vista SP1 DVD and right click on the "Command Prompt" shortcut located in "Start>All Programs>Accessories" and select "Run as administrator".

Change to DVD drive letter and then change to "BOOT" folder located on Vista SP1 DVD by typing the following.

DVDDriveLetter: <enter>

cd \boot <enter>

Then execute "bootsect /nt60 c:" and your free to install FD-ISR.

Is there a way to install on WIN7 from a cd of the .exe file I used to install on XP?

 

No. The "bootsect.exe" file must be from Vista Ultimate SP1.

Here is a link of the file your after. Better be quick!

Carfal, Thanks for the heads up.

 

I also did and asking the very same...

Is it ok to run cmd as admin in an already installed win7 ult and where FDISR never been installed and type:
[directory where bootsect.exe is extracted]:\boot\Bootsect.exe /NT60 [system_drive]
[system_drive]= the drive letter of your windows partition

and after this install FD-ISR before reboot ? Will this work ?

 

like Peter, I downloaded the file. Can someone post the step by step instructions in stupid english so a idiot like me can do it.

(post 64) I asked Pandlouk

I would like to ask again Pandlouk and houaus (post 66 there)
1. Are you still using Win7 with FD-ISR since then. If positive, is the system working smooth?
2. Have you installed it using Win7- 32 or -64
3. can you elaborate again in this thread how to install FD-ISR in Win 7

thanks for assistance.

 

1. Yes, no problems so far.
2. Both
3. I'll start a new thread so that all the information of the various scenarious (clean install, upgrade install, and new pc with 7 preinstalled are covered).

THANK YOU!!

Hi Pandlouk

You are GREAT

I knew you will do it to assist us

Thanks in advance

 

Not me, impatient. Will keep FD-ISR on computers with Vista and bought FD-R for the Windows 7 one. To me it doesnt matter as I had gotten to where I used FD-ISR more like FD-R.

FD-R is nice. I have a ton of trust in Todd, Mitch and Leapfrog.

 

You are welcome.
Guys do you know anyone that can help to create a batch file?

Here is what I want to achieve:
1. create an elevated command prompt so that users won't have to use the run as admin

2.Run the files from the directory where the batch resides

3.Identify if the OS is 32 bit or 64 bit

4.If the OS is 32-bit then should execute

If the OS is 64-bit then should execute

This way it will be easy for everyone to install it, but I'm not good at all with creating batch files...

thanks,
Panagiotis

 

Lol, if I could do that, I wouldnt have to be a fanboy. But thank you.

 

Steps 1,2,3 are fine
The problem is the 4th and I cannot get it to work properly.

Panagioti

 

If I could read that, I'd try it. Don't you have a solution that says click to install?

 

Hi Pete,

My initial intention was to make a bat which will cover all the bootsector combinations. It would be handy if during an uninstall FD-ISR did not revert correctly the bootsector...

But since I cannot make it to work, I'll use an alternative method for novices. I'll creates 2 rar.sfxs (1 for 32-bit and 1 for 64-bit) that will update the 7 bootsector with the Vistabootsector.

It will be as simple as:
1. Run the rar.exe (and accept the uac prompt)
2. Install FD-ISR.


Now it's getting late here so I'll make the guide and upload the 2 exes tomorrow.

Panagiotis

 

Yes I do, check the above post.

Thanks Pandlouk, I'll need to know what rar.exe is. I am not a techie as you can see. I will be upgrading to a new computer with WIN7 installed later, and I can't bare to lose my FD-ISR.
