I tried those, it reads them but it sort of won't boot. I'm thinking something is wrong with either my burning methods/cds or my CD/DVD-ROM.

I made another disk but it still won't work. Btw, does the etfsboot file has to be named, "ETFSBOOT" or "ETFSBOOT.COM"?

I got the files from ThePiratebay.org and the file was really reliable. A lot of positive comments were there. When i finished downloading it, I extracted all the files in one new folder and use that folder for burning. Just like what was said in the guide.

I followed the procedure. Still nothing. I keeps saying "Windows failed to start" over and over again. I'm gonna try to burn another DVD and see if that will work. Btw, if I put my previous DVD(win7 dvd) that I burned back into my laptop, will it try to reformat my laptop?

Well, as it said on the screen, it's Geforce 9400GT VGA BIOS. My new motherboard is MSi G41M-P28, just in case you need to know.

I tried pressing Del instead of F2. Now, I'm on CMOS Setup utility. I dunno where to start from here...

I did what you said but the only thing listed in the BIOS is my old OS. I tried reinserting the disk again but same thing happens.

Sorry, I thought I was being ignored. XP I'm a newbie after all. Btw, what do you mean "select to boot"? I just inserted the disk in the cd/dvd drive. Also, how do I access the BIOS?

Hey, I'm new at burning CDs/DVDs. I just burned a Windows 7 Ultimate installation DVD but it doesn't seem to work on my computer. I'm using our laptop to type this. My comp's motherboard broke(after 6 yrs) so we had to buy a new one. My comp is also having this "Windows Failed to start" issue and is a also the reason why I wanted to reformat my PC again. I followed every step in this guide: http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=11194 using our laptop. I tried putting the DVD on my comp, it reads it but doesn't seem to boot. I also tried restarting the comp but same thing happened. Any ideas on what to do? I've already searched the forums and got tired of searching.
