while restoring windows 7 on an aspire, it hangs while installing Bing Bar

tcompton61

After purchasing the restore disk and installing. It is now hung up while installing Bing Bar.

 

Is there a work around for this?

try to press ALT+TAB or windows key logo, maybe there's a backgroung prompt that need a confirmation.

It doesn't matter what program is causing it.

first of thanks for the reply and sorry to hear you are having the same problem.

if you can get your hands on partition magic (bootable cd) that would get you

to the partitions on the hard drive. i use gparted on puppy linux.. but any linux

distro w/ gparted will get you to the partition table.

 

what you want to do is two things. 

 

1) delete the 100meg boot partition, and the next one over from that which

will probably be the biggest partion on the hard drive = c:\ 

2)flag the restore partition to be bootable.  in gparted all you have to do

is right click on the restore partion from the flying menu choose "manage flags"

and the first check box will be "boot(able"

 

apply your settings, then reboot. the factory restore partition should fire up

without having to press alt-f10.

 

HOWEVER, this assumes that you do indeed have a factory restore partition

and that someone didn't redo your hard drive with straight win7, erasing

the hard drive entirely. i do hope this isn't the case with you. if so, you

can get replacement dvd's for $15.

 

good luck
