To access the System Recovery Environment in Windows 7, simply boot your PC, just before the system loads the Windows operating system; hit the [F8] Function 8 key on your keyboard which will launch the Advanced Boot Options Menu. There you will see a new option 'Repair Your Computer', select this option and hit 'Enter' on your keyboard.

Interesting.  Someone at another site posted with the same problem when helping a friend fix their Windows XP machine. 

I suggest starting with checking that there are no CDs or DVDs in the drives or removable drives (backups) plugged in to the USB ports.  If that is not the problem, see if this KB article helps: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315261/

    Thanks for the pointer...I had a USB memory stick attached to my Win 7 laptop at bootup and once I

    removed it and rebooted, problem solved.

    Hi,

    You probably have the USB set before the hard drive in the BIOS boot order. No real reason

    to change it if you know that it set that way.

    I had an issue with Windows 7 not booting once I removed an old hard drive that had Windows XP on it.  I had thought this would go seamlessly but apparently my 'System' volume was set to the old drive.

    Getting rid of this issue was a pain to say the least.

    The windows 7 disk was the first attempt to remove the NTLDR error, even tho it doesnt make sense as that is only need for XP.

    Anyways, choosing "STartup repair" and similar from the Windows 7 disk did not fix the problem even though it found items to repair each time.

    I ended up fixing the issue after doing two things:

    -Disabling the 'Quick Boot' option in the BIOS

    -Eventually selecting the system restore option

    I find it goofy that this worked, especially since the restore would still be using the old HD in my mind.  However, maybe the non-quick boot allowed the system to do a deeper check and not fail instantly on the NTLDR error?

    Could be... in either case, this fixed the issues.
