Thank you so much! Yes I'm activated. When I did a SLMGR.VBS /ATO it said "Activated". Then I went to black. The start of a night from hell trying to get up and running. I didn't think of it before but I could probably do an In-Place install from the Recovery Mode Safe Mode Command Prompt...

I posted this problem a few months ago and followed the suggestions of the people who responded but the problem still existed. Again I'd like to thank all those who tried to help. I've only recently gotten around to attempting this install again but unfortunately I'm still having the same...

Thanks... yes I have my original key. I was just curious if I could use that key or would have a use a new one I would get from MS if a new one was needed. You said that I can use SMLGR.vbs /DLV to see at least a partial key... I was under the impression that that command was to see my...

Thanks again... I've been traveling... and have to go to Canada tomorrow. I'll try this when I return next week. One question... you said in your last message I may have to insert the key when I do the in-place install. This is the new key I get from MS?

Thanks... you mean doing a Ctrl-Alt-Del > task manager from the black screen while in Windows8? If so, I'll get to the setup. If all fails and I'm not activated do you by chance know the Microsoft number to call for activation? Anyway I'll do SLMGR.vsb /DLV first. If it tells me I'm...

Thanks again for the information. I have yet had time to try a re-install but it appears that perhaps the no activation might have been my problem all along. I'll definitely try the SLMGR.vbs /DLV to check the status. If it's not activated I'll activate it through Windows 8 (how can I find...

Yes after conversion I can boot up with no problem and all seems fine on my Windows7 partitions. Thanks for the Ctrl-Alt-Del suggestion which I'll try. I believe it was Theog that suggested that before. My problem previously was that the screen went to black before I had a chance to do...

XwepeonX I'm not an expert by any means on this but why would I have to rebuild the MBR? Remember I've already converted my C drive, which was Dynamic, back to basic. As for rebuilding the MBR, actually I did that one time in XP as well through DOS I believe with those commands you...

JustATest...thanks for the links. That Bracket Cable and the Enclosure is a possibility and one I that I was unaware of or even knew existed. As for where it states eSata being a sata/sub, previously though I had Vista/Win7 as a dual boot on that eSata drive which now I'm attempting to install...

Yes I thought I'd re-post and see what additional information I might obtain regarding my unique problem I realize my post is a bit wordy and long but I wanted to ensure I got in as much detail as possible. My Windows 7 is on the C partition of course and I've been trying to install Windows...

Original Post: I've recently installed a dual boot, Windows 7 and Windows 8. The installation went fine but then after a very short time my Windows 8 Screen goes black. I had to press the power button to exit. I've checked the Power settings and ensured the "Turn off display" was "never". I...

Honestly, neither did I think of right clicking and viewing. I should have realized that when I saw that I could save to disk. Yes I'll mark this as solved and create a new thread with my original unsolved question and re-attach the image. I'll do that later. Gotta run. Thank you again for the...

I'm so sorry, I have to get to bed it's getting late. I'll check tomorrow. THANK YOU so much for being so patient with me in my attempt to enlarge this Computer Management Image. I also think I'll start a new thread with a similar subject since this one has gotten so long, I'll include...

Ctrl+Print Screen I used for the first image I uploaded and saved as a jpg

This time I saved as a JPG wth snipping tool.
