After crash HD using Win 7 Upgrade to install clean

I upgraded my computer the SP3 of XP to Windows 7 64 bit with Win7 upgrade. The hard drive crashed and I bought a new hard drive. Win 7 installed fine, but it wont let me turn on. He told me that I can only upgrade. I need to uninstall Win7, reformat the disk, reinstall XP and then install Win 7 to activate and be authentic? Is there another way to solve this problem?

Before you install Windows 7 using the upgrade disc, you must install Windows Vista. Windows 7 does not support the Windows XP upgrade (clean install necessary). Consider buying the full version of Windows 7.

  • I use Win 7 Upgrade Wizard with retail Win 7?

    Hello!

    I have a copy of the tune upgrade that came with the upgrade for my HP Pavilion desktop computer. I'll be updating my HP DV4-1140GO with an upgrade to Windows 7 retail of Ms.

    Is the universal HP Upgrade Wizard, which is can be used with any HP computer (desktop or laptop)?

    It will work with a retail upgrade disk?

    Is this a good idea?

    Thanks for your advice.

    More than likely it will not be. The upgrade wizard is specific for your desk top drivers are concerned. Some software may be accessed and used for your laptop.

    If you want to upgrade to another version of W7, go to the control panel and find Windows Anytime Upgrade. Everything is left in place, and all you have to do is to enter a valid product key for the version you want.

    If you want to get rid of HP bloat-ware, then it is much easier just uninstall everything and then go to the road you expect.

    I can help you with what you need to uninstall to tilt your device off.

    If you go to W7 from Vista, I would like to know if this is what you are thinking, and I can help you with that also. There is a right way and struggling to do.

  • After that chkdsk runs the system repair or install Clean is necessary

    I had this problem a bit lately; This is what happens:

    I do something like listening to music on a Flight Simulator, etc., and the system freezes - are not uncommon, so I leave to see if she'll take back.

    When he is not take it back, I hit the reset button on my PC and this is where the problems occur:

    CHKDSK begins its countdown and when it reaches zero, it passes through, find the system registry to be corrupted and then goes and deletes it.

    From there on, I must go and repair Windows or sometimes even to perform a new installation.

    The HARD drive I use is a sweet Samsung F1 1 TB of HARD drive.

    The question that has also happened at the previous disk, a Samsung F1 750Go, it was damaged but somehow and if the Windows installation disk was not able to recognize all the partitions on the drive, was not able to create one of any size.

    Is there a way I could avoid this? Or y at - it advice to reduce the appearance of this?

    original title: chkdsk ruining Vista

    Here is a procedure I have found to stop the process (but you need to restart it again when finished to enable chkdsk to run when requested manually:http://www.ocmodshop.com/ocmodshop.aspx?a=874.)  Here is another article which basically says the same thing:http://www.internetfixes.com/question_of_the_week/IF01129.htm.

    Here's another procedure, that I found which is a little different but was published by Rick Rogers MVP:

    Something is causing to set the dirty bit. Open an elevated command
    by typing CMD in the start/search box, and then right-click on the entry
    on the start menu and use "run as Administrator". At the prompt, run
    «chkntfs / of.» Then, close the command prompt and restart the system. As this command
    Resets the drive, it should not run autochk at this stage. If so, then
    something you have installed is causing the dirty bit set and you need
    to look at what is running in the background.

    I hope that one of the following procedures works for you.  Rememver, it won't stop that chkdsk to run when you restart.  It does not address the problem of why chkdsk removes the registry when executing (should not make tha unless there is a serious problem with system files or your drive hard at first - and maybe not yet).  Once this problem is solved, open a new thread to solve the other problem, if you want someone to look into it for you.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • ESX3.5 = > 4: Patch to upgrade or install clean

    Hi guys (and girls)

    What are your thoughts on the upgrade process - should I be patching esx 3.5 to 4.0 via the Update Manager or "best practices" dictate that a clean install would be better? I'm leaning towards the latter, as seems to be rather a big update - but, if anyone has tried both scenarios in their lab environment then this entry would be welcome.

    Our standard is "no improvements of major version."  In other words, we will never apply upgrades on top of the previous generation product.

    The prospect of vCenter 4 with "Host Profiles" - launch a clean host on the network and then push all our configuration settings to seems quite ideal.  Even without the profile application, our basic today config is very simple - especially with ESXi... so really add automation does not save a lot of time.  Consistency is would be nice however.

  • Can win 7 OEM (non-registered), I use a license 'UPGRADE' to the registered OEM?

    I got a version of Win7 Home Premium OEM for my brother and I did a clean install on a new HARD drive. It turns out that my brother has already used the license and run on his computer and doesn't have to tell me. So now I have a Win7 Home Premium 64 bit edition OEM version OS on my computer and it will expire in 30 days. If I buy the pack family 3 of 'UPGRADE', can I use this license to the upgrade for my already loaded OEM Win7 not saved on my computer?

    Basically, I want to use the UPGARDE license for my version already loaded Win7 OEM license and work on my new computer, I built. IS this possible?

  • Windows Anytime upgrade to install Win 7 Pro on NB550D

    Is it safe to use Windows anytime upgrade to install Windows 7 Professional on a NB550D?

    I ask because it is available through the start menu, but the representative of Toshiba at Insight UK said it might void the warranty if you did! But then they mantioned Atom processors so I think they are just a little stupid maybe...?

    The reason for the upgrade is that we want netbooks on the field.

    Thank you

    Isn't about 20% cheaper to buy OEM W7 Pro that do an upgrade? May be entering the new product key on the screen at any time to upgrade will automate the upgrade rather than installing USB etc.

  • Qosmio X 875 - ECO mode does not work immediately after Win 8 upgrade

    I used the upgrade Toshiba Upgrade Wizard to Win 8. He succeeded well uninstall the incompatible software before the upgrade and install the new Toshiba and driver versions after the upgrade.

    I activated the ECO mode, and to my surprise, it does not work as before (in Windows 7):

    * Now, it works with the brightness to level 1 *... very dark. Before, ECO mode allowed me to go up to level 4 and was always considered in Eco mode...

    If I increase the brightness, the 'eco mode is disabled' message opens immediately.

    How to contact Toshiba to inform them of this problem and the other problem I found with the new BIOS?

    BTW, I am owner of a Qosmio X 875

    > It changes the brightness of the display of level 4, changes the brightness of the grey screen of level 1 (* 4),.
    _The * 4 means only on models with Windows7 installed _

    I guess that the previous configuration was only Win 7.

    8 win was made for mobile (use of the Tablet), the energy consumption of battery is also very important plant help to win 8. The consumption of the battery must be taken at the lowest level possible.
    So I guess that now help win 8 ECO medium mode and save the power max and long battery life time working at a max level.

  • Using WIN XP SP3 and OE 6 many crashes and freezes

    I use WIN XP SP3 Home edition and OE6.  I have three problems 1.  Very slow operation.  2. frequent crashes when you delete the email.  3. frequent freezes and shuts down completely.

    It makes it almost impossible to get anything done.  It takes most of the morning to read my mail.  Work with IE8 is the same slow, crashes, and freezes.

    You probably corrupted dbx files. Compact all folders first and see which helps. If this isn't the case, create a new identity.

  • Restore Windows 7 academic downloaded the upgrade after crash HD

    I had a HD crash. My 64-bit machine was running Windows 7 Ultimate, bought a school upgrade and downloaded. W7 disappeared after the crash. I had the legacy Vista installation to a different drive, but cannot see how to download the upgrade or recover activation key again. What's worse, I can't reinstall my Office 2010 (which was installed on a disk survivor after upgarding to W7 so no longer works) because the Setup program is unable to remove the existing version of Office 2010. Even the fixme utility cannot find Office 2010.  Any help gratefully received, any necessary information provided with happiness.

    Thank you

    J.

    First of all, you need get the product keys for Windows 7 Ultimate and Office 2010. They must have been sent by email you somewhere (with a bit of luck you have deleted emails).

    Then you should download Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit .iso and the correct version of Office 2010 that should be in my wiki Microsoft Downloads:
    This wiki should have full instructions to create media. My other wiki A Clean install of Windows 7:
    should be used as a base to install it, but some measures should be modified slightly if you use not a Dell computer, which is to get the drivers from the manufacturer's website is opposed to the Dell one and another key opposed to F12 may be used in a non - Dell PC.

    Shortly after, my laptop broke and I got a new laptop through my insurance company which had Win 7 pre installed. I just got a new desktop PC and was wondering if I could use my Win 7 Upgrade disk to do a clean install on my desktop that my old laptop has now been destroyed. ?

    Also good windows media player and real player does not display a video but will play sounds (from the video) after the upgrade.

    Microsoft not interested in the problem and real cannot advise on the issue once the configuration ompatibility option didn't work.

    Ideas on the Windows 8.1 that I was fired by Microsoft to the OEM supplier.
    Everything worked perfectly well in Windows 8.0.

    I am running 64 bit.

    Hello

    I gues due to lack of information it would be difficult to help you.
    You haven't posted anything on your laptop model.
    Also you says nothing about the video files you want to play.

    Did you update all drivers and utilities on your laptop after the 8.1 of Windows upgrade?
    If your laptop is Win 8.1 supported, you must pass the Toshiba drivers and tools as described in the installation instructions (you will find on the website of driver Toshiba)

  • Satellite L840/03R - FN buttons does not work properly after Win 8 upgrade

    I bought a new L840/03R and installed Windows 8 using the Toshiba Upgrade Wizard. There is no error message.

    The function keys do not work with the CTRL and ALT keys So I can't use the shortcuts like ALT-F4 to close windows - which gives "second screen" options. It does this for F4 on its own, or by pressing CTRL, ALT or SHIFT key.

    In addition, F11 activates / deactivates sound we / off rather than go full screen in chrome. F12 allows flying mode instead of "Save as" in word.
    Just downloaded and installed the package of value added.

    Am I missing something really obvious?
