Kingston DT5000 keeps booting as RAW in Windows 7 Ultimate

if you are in win 7, go to control panel and look for user accounts. If you logged in as an administrator, you should be able to change the password there, if you know the origanal pw. If you are talking about the boot up password, that has to be cleared by changing the pin block on the mother board it self, but by doing so, it will reset the boot menu back to default.

Most of those Windows to USB applications are for creating an Windows USB installation, not actually installing an operational OS on the USB. Does that make sense?

You would have to run the setup and choose the drive to where to install the OS. This would mean you would have to do it from a CD/DVD disc or have two USB drives, but this may cause a conflict.

see if there is a factory restore option for this computer, normally that would be tapping the f11 key during the boot process, most dells come with a boot partition now tha will recover the laptop to factory state

click start control panel administrative tools computer management disk management right click on your drive select properties click tools you should see click check now click start two boxes

automatically fix files and scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors place then a tick in both boxes then select check now start

you might tick one box then return after its finished the first repair then return and tick the second box you should not do anything while the chkdsk utility is in progress any input may damage this drive

I found that you get best results by ticking one box then returning after it has finished then tick the other box

then you restore it to its default status

Right click on usb drive select properties you will have an array of options

Select the hardware option then select your drive properties policies

restore defaults

In XP

Right click on your drive select properties then on customize restore Default in W 7


If you need more help with this post a reply

You may want to download memtest86+ and burn it to a CD, boot from that CD and it will tell you if the memory stick is bad.

It does sound like bad memory though

Please take a close look at the disk you are using to install "Windows 7 Ultimate". It is definitely a "Recovery Disk" for Windows 7 Ultimate. You cannot install Windows 7 with a recovery disk. Recovery disk always is used to repair corrupt or damaged files of Windows OS and requires that the Operating System is already installed. You need a "Windows 7 Ultimate" Installation disk to install Windows not a recovery disk for Windows.

Press F8 many times. You start the tapping of F8 even before the computer starts. The boot menu will come. Its a little tricky. Keep trying. :)
