You will be happy to know that even in 2012 this issue is still present. Shift F10 seems to work. Thanks to the original person who suggested using Shift F10.

Spent days trying to get a broken W7 box to work,
The product can’t identify itself on an existing set of drives…. How bad is that!

so I gave in and started a reinstall

On an empty disk the damn stuff still can’t install itself cleanly – more time goes by as I have to research pages like this which state that it wants an empty disk to partition.

Such basic checking not in the product. And NO meaningful feedback to the user of whats going on, whats causing problems, or anything.

My Macs just turn on and work. Microsoft really hold back the entire industry..

for all of you who after the shift+f10 trick got the “classic windows” view and the password error message, if by any chance when you selected your partition it said that it was going to fail soon.. well, it did. just had my HDD replaced by the manufacturer’s warranty.

BTW forgot to mention, for me it was happening in SP1.

MS look like incompetent buffoons. Its Sept 2011 and this is still a problem in SP1.
