• Error: "Windows cannot be installed to this disk.

  I do a custom installation of Windows 7 64-bit and am boot from upgrade retail DVD. Motherboard is an Intel D975XBX . I have the latest version of the BIOS from Intel. I do not use the integrated RAID SATA Silicon Image controller and hear my SATA to emulate IDE mode in the BIOS. During the startup of Windows 7 DVD, it always tells me that he needs additional drivers, so I point to the latest drivers from Silicon Image Vista 64-bit Intel, and he proceeds to the next screen.

  Then I get the screen that shows me the list of my disks and partitions that asks where I want to install Windows. On every single disc I click on, at the bottom of the dialog box, I see a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark and the message "what Windows can not be installed on the disk ...". "When I click on the"View details"link next to it, I see a dialog box that says:"Windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Make sure that the drive controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu. "

  I have four SATA drives, three that I use for several years with Windows XP. The fourth disc is a brand new Western Digital 750 GB that I bought just for Windows 7, so that I can dualboot. I can boot fine in XP, I see all four drives very well and I used the XP Disk Manager to format the new 750 GB drive.

  To repeat: I get the "Windows cannot be installed to this disk" on all readers listed: a vacuum brand new, one that starts well in XP and the other two that I use to store data for the instance of my XP.

  I searched on Microsoft Answers, as well as through the internet for a tip on how to solve this and found nothing.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you
  Bill

  The only possible answer for you is to find Windows 7 compatible drivers for the Sata controller or get a new controller.

• My xp upgrade window window error 7 "Windows cannot be installed to this disk pahrd space.

  Original title: update my Windows xp to Windows 7.

  Edit: Switched from Windows XP to Windows 7.

  Hi, I'm installing ion window 7 my laptop which is a window XP, when I install on a partition, it says: Windows cannot be installed to this disk pahrd space. Windows must be installed on a partition formatted in NTFS. What does that mean?

  Hi Steven,

  Thanks for the details.

  The error message indicates that you need convert a Partition to the NTFS file system. Because Windows XP supports two disk file systems: the table of allocation of file (FAT) file system and the file system NTFS and Windows 7 supports NTFS only if you need to convert the partition to NTFS first to start the installation.

  You can take the help of the article next to use Convert.exe to convert a Partition to the NTFS file system, and then try to upgrade or install Windows 7.

  so, I format the OS partition but it always seems the same problem. ? What should I do, I can't delete or format the data partition because it just my backup data.

  It is a problem with the way that you start from Installation

  Reboot and press F12
  You should see 2 similar startup options on the installation disc you started with
  Try both of them, one of them will work
  This fixed it for me when I faced this problem
  If this does not work for you, check the BIOS settings

  Hi Nnrmalata,

  1. you are trying to install 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7?

  2. What is the brand and model of your computer?

  Boot from GPT is only supported for 64-bit of Windows 7 on UEFI-based systems.

  For more details, refer to this link:

  http://msdn.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/hardware/gg463525.aspx

  If your computer does not support UEFI, back up your important data to an external drive and delete all partitions on hard drives and create a new partition.

  (a) start from the Windows 7 DVD

  (b) click on install now

  (c) in the configuration screen, click Custom (Advanced)

  (d) click on drive Options

  (e) select the partitions to format

  (f) click on Format - this will erase EVERYTHING on this partition

  (g) create a new partition, and then select a partition to install Windows on.

  (h) follow the on-screen instructions and install Windows.

  Note: Converting a hard disk partition or volume from NTFS to FAT32 requires that you reformat the partition, which deletes all the data on this subject. Be sure to back up data that you want to keep before you begin.

  You can check the link for reference:

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd799232 (WS.10) .aspx

  Note: BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  If above did not help, please refer to the steps in this link.

  Most laptops have two power circuits separated when on AC, one to charge the battery and the other to run on the system board. It seems rather that the second circuit has failed, if the laptop power PIN is multi pole so it could be the power supply but it is rare.

  Check the label of the PSU manufacturers, if he makes mention of both voltages or two nominal currents, it is perhaps interesting to try a different PSU.
