Nowadays when you purchase an OEM system, there are no installation disks.at least not with this HP system I purchased a HPE -240f in June 2010 and for a couple months the Windows Media Center functioned OK however, for the last month or so, no luck. I have restored to earlier dates numerous times and the Windows Media Center works fine until I turn the computer off or restart.then WMC will not work, the aforementioned message comes up time after time. Windows Media Center will work fine until I turn the computer off or restart then when I try to activate the Windows Media Center, I get the same ole message, ie, Windows Media Center stopped working, looking for solution". When trying to watch live TV, more often than not, I get "Windows Media Center has stopped working, looking for solution". There are some really sharp contributors to this forum and let me say thanks, I sure needed the help!!!Īs posted earlier I have extreme difficulties with WIN7 Windows Media Center.

Some Recovery Disks because the factory image recovery would not work!!! After trying many of the suggestions, I finally decided to bite the bullet and do a Recovery Action. It should boot into Windows.Thanks for all the ideas, suggestions and advise concerning the Windows Media Center problem. It will format the drive as NTFS, deploy the image, and then run the DiskPart utility to make the Windows partition active.

MEDIA CENTER OS PARTITION FOR WINDOWS 7 MAC OSX

On my computer the last partition was number 3, but you may want to check your systems to make sure. Any assistance would be welcome as I really need to get a solution for deploying this dual boot image for our organization ASAP. I feel I am so close to solving this with that minor issue. I have a feeling it's some kind of MBR issue. The Mac sees the Windows partition under Startup Disks, however if I hold option on boot it does not show up on the boot menu, and if I try to boot to Windows I get a Disk not Found black screen error. Preinstall task under Windows is set to use the convert command to convert the FAT32 drive to an NTFS partition, and then it deploys the Windows partition. Load up the OS X image, then reboot into Windows Kbox environment from a boot CD HFS is in partition 02 and FAT32 is in 03 (with the EFI being in the first portion). HFS and FAT32, with the FAT32 set to 80 GB and the HFS set for the remainder of the drive. Have a preinstall task set to partition the drive into two parts.
