For those having problems in upgrading or reformatting their computers, check if your CPU has a built-in HDD. When you check your system it will show as unallocated space in the the HDD. In reality, it is a built-in hard drive in the motherboard or HDD where it has files for the OS of the CPU. This is common with branded computers.
The branded CPUs have their own Windows OS that would have been arranged with Microsoft without necessarily having keys or codes to activate them. Microsoft online will immediately recognize an operating system they have assigned to a manufacturer.
What this manufacturers have not realized is that their computers will be difficult to reformat in the event it is required. They have some files that are not common for market sold OS. When reformatting the market Windows OS might just fail to complete the reformat because it will need drivers only available to the manufacturer.

Windows 7 boot failure fix
Windows 7 has been a pain in the neck ever since we tried using it at our internet shop. We formatted back all our operating system to Windows XP as we did not have that much of a problem with XP, except for one computer. Two days ago, this computer started having boot failures until it would no longer boot.
We have tried reformatting it back with the Windows 7 CD installer but never succeeded. It had so many excuses. The remedies online were also tried but none of them worked. We have a SATA HDD on the CPU and also with another computer that had XP as operating system.
For fear that the 500 Gig SATA might have gone defective, I installed it on the CPU that has a 250 Gig SATA with Win XP OS. When I started the one with XP, it went to CheckDisk mode on the 500 Gig SATA. It corrected all the disk errors.
When I installed back the 500 Gig SATA to its original computer it booted normally with Windows 7. It first showed "Launch Repair" with "Open Windows normally" and I opted for the latter. Yes, it booted normally with Windows 7 with no problem at all. This simply shows that Windows XP is far superior to Windows 7 as it was able to fix what the Windows 7 installer CD could not.
I hope that Microsoft will continue supporting Windows XP as it shows to be a support for succeeding Windows OS that could not fix their own problems.
