  • no pilot of the aircraft were found when trying to install windows 7 on a new construction

    It is a new construction: card mother Asus M4A87TD/USB3, Phenom X 4 965 processor he's, with 1 64 GB Soild State drive which is where Windows 7 Pro must be installed, Raid 2 500 GB SATA hard drives that I use, total 8 GB memory Dual Channel DDR-1600 and an ATI Radeon HD5830 1024 GDDR5 video card.

    I am now trying to install windows and I get an error message saying that no device drivers found when you try to install windows 7 pro, so I tried to put in the disc that came with the motherboard because that's what I found during my research on this subject and it won't read the disc. I also learned that I should use a USB however, I don't have a large enough to copy documents from the disk device drivers.

    Any input would be appreciated because I was a machine now for a week only to find what I wanted and then in construction and now this problem - please help

    Suggest you only begin by installing a configuration non-RAID first. Also since this is a new construction, you need to do some test equipment to verify that you don't have a hardware problem. Connect a SATA drive to a standard SATA connector rather than the RAID connector.

    Note: If you are OverClocking or use any automatic overclocking BIOS features, Intel EIST or Turbo Mode (turn off).
    then back at the speed of stock as a starting point.

    Disconnect the other internal hard drives and external USB devices.

    First try running Memtest86 +:  It runs from a floppy disk or CD, you must remove or
    confirm whether your one or more of your sticks of memory are bad or the values of the SPD in the BIOS are correct.
    Let it run for as long as you can: 2,4,6,8 or several hours (at least 3 full passes), if no errors at that time then your ram is OK.

  • ESXi 3.5 and when trying to install windows server 2008

    I installed ESXi 3.5 on my server and successfully created a first virtual computer on which I am trying to install Windows server 2008 standard. I use VMware Infrastructure Client 2.5 from a Vista machine to access my virtual machine console.

    Installation of Windows server is an ISO file located in the root directory of the ESX Server data store. Everything went well with the installation until one last server restart showed a screen stating "the password must be changed before logging on the first time' by clicking on 'OK' present a login for 'Administrator' screen, asking me to enter a password for the 'new' and 'Confirm password '.

    Any attempt to enter a new password results (up to 14 characters, mixture letter & number) in a message "unable to update the password, the value provided for the new password does not meet the requirements of length, complexity or the history of the area.

    As far as I know, I'm not usig a specific domain, have never been able to access Windows server 2008 to create an admin account. I don't know how to solve this problem. I am new to VMWare and Windows server 2008.

    Any suggestion to move forward and allow me to have access to the server via the console?

    Thanks in advance for your help, Claude

    This isn't really a problem with VMware, but more of a problem of Windows 2008 password complexity requirements.

    The account that she is not asking that you must change the password is the local administrator account.

    And you have tried in upper case, lower case, numbers and special characters?  Something like Win2008!@#$ maybe?

    Hello

    You can erase your entire hard drive with command prompt from booting from the Windows installation disc and run the utility "diskpart", clear full hard drive, make new partitions and install the operating system.

    (a) start the computer from the Windows installation disc.

    (b) click on 'Next' at the first prompt.

    (c) click on "Repair your computer."

    (d) click "next".

    (e) click on "Command prompt."

    (f) type "diskpart" without the quotes, and then press "Enter".

    (g) list disk 'type' without the quotes, and then press "enter".

    (h) type "select disk 0" without the quotes and replacing '0' by the actual number of the car you want to erase.

    (i) type "clean" without the quotes, and press "Enter." The drive is now completely erased.

    (j) restart the computer.

    (k) through the installation of Windows 7 with regular steps.

    I hope this helps.
