Help: Windows 7 64-Bit Not Booting

[wiggy1]

I installed Windows 7 64-bit on my Motion LE1700 in January and have had great success with it. Yesterday it flaked out on me and won't boot any longer. It POSTS just fine and gets to the Windows Boot Logo, but hangs. I tried booting in safe mode and it hangs on classpnp.sys without going any farther. I tried using the system recovery from the Hard Drive and also by using the Windows 7 DVD. However, neither boots into the Windoes recovery console. It just hangs. I pulled the hard drive and then the Windows 7 was able to boot from the DVD and present the windows install screen. However, when I put the hard drive back in the drive bay, connected, it still just hangs when trying to boot from the DVD. I can't even get a command prompt. I used a windows 98 boot disk to run check disk and memory extended diagnostic and did not find any errors, so I am concluding just this particular file is corrupted and stopping the boot process meaning it is not a hardware issue. I did also turn off all WLAN, bluetooth, LAN, TPM, etc. in the BIOS and still have the error.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix? I am waiting for an IDE usb enclosure to come in so I can connect the drive as a USB device to another computer to try and replace the corrupted startup driver. However, it will take a few days to arrive so I am looking for options in the mean time.

Thanks,

Well, I found out why the Windows 7 wasn't booting. The OS ws fine, I just used up my HD. Apparently I didn't have settings in my OS and some of my pograms properly configured for using an SSD and ended up using up all the write cycles on my SSD. The SSD was great and I could still read from the HD by taking it out of my tablet and putting it into a USB enclosure. So I didn't loose any data, I just lost the ability to write to the disk. This is why I couldn't boot from it.

Well, with that, I got the disk replaced by Kingspec with a brand new 64 GB SSD, but I want to upgrade to a larger disk. So if anyone is interested in getting an SSD for their machine, PM me. The one I am offering is brand new, in the package. I think the Kingspec disk is great and really fast over the stock LE1700 disk. It will work in both the LE1700 and LE1600.

I'm surprised you managed to use up all the write cycles, I know it's supposed to happen eventually with all SSDs because of the way it works, however all the claims I've read stated that SSds should last for at least 15 years before the write cycles get exhausted and data cannot be written any more. Out of curiosity which SSD were you using?

I was using a KingSpec SSD. The symptoms were that I could read from the drive, but i could not write to it. I tried all the tools I could to test for a write lock, and I could not detect one. So either the write cycles re used up or the write controller failed though the read controller twill worked. I had the me thing happen twice on two different KingSpec disks Of the same design.
