• SSD upgrade failed - not found boot drive

  I need your help guys... I've been everywhere on the net, try different methods to clone my Windows 7 for SSD and failed repeatedly.

  Here is my setup, I have a HP Envy 14 with a 500 GB HARD drive. I bought an SSD to speed things up.  I have 2 OS (dual boot),

  Win7 and win 8, on which Win8 is the default operating system (according to the news of easyBCD).   I just want to clone the Win7 OS part.

  (Win7 - C drive), (Win8 - F drive) and recovery on the D drive.

  I tried these t hings upafter the defragmentation and backup)

  1. While on Win7, I created a copy of the image, but strangely, thought, once the process is complete the copy of the image is Win8

  I've used EaseUs to do backup and clone Drive C

  Swapped with the SSD HARD drive and got a message could not find a boot disk

  2. because I failed on the first try, I formatted the SSD and opt instead for a new installation.

  -J' I downloaded the ISO of Win7, swapped the (empty) SSD newly formatted

  -Started on the Win7 Installer, and have the operating system installed on the SSD.

  -J' thought that I was until I noticed assigned HP keys do not work, the USB drivers do not work, I could not turn on/off wifi. The reason may be the missing drivers (bloatware since the HP recovery disk - given that I didn't copy that one)

  3. after the attempts, I formatted the SSD drive. I read somewhere to use the HP recovery instead.

  -J' cloned the disc to my HDD to the SSD HP recovery

  -Swapped with the SSD HARD drive

  -Started my laptop and not found boot drive... (even after pressing F11)

  can you tell me a better way to do it?   Or if someone could point out what I did wrong, or perhaps missed?  Really appreaciate... This was bugs me for the last days...

• I used Bootcamp to install Windows 10 and now it asks me for a boot drive?

  I used Bootcamp to install Windows 10, then it turned off and when he started upward, he asks for a boot drive?  I'm going back and this computer is not even a day old?

  Welcome to Apple Support communities

  Try holding the ALT key during start up your Mac to the top. This will make all bootable discs appear on the screen, so tell me what options you see here. Maybe the Windows installation is damaged or you have removed OS X by mistake.

  Media player from Windows

  Why windows media player is not reading my DVD, and how do I install the windows media player decoder using my disk of windows XP Professional

  FWIW... Win XP cannot natively recognize Commercial

  If you could play before commercial video DVD...
  do a system restore to a time before this started

• Problem using Bootcamp to install Windows 8.1 MacBook Pro

  Hello

  I have a MacBook Pro (retina, mid-2012) running OS X El Capitan v10.11.1. About two years ago, I installed Windows 8.1 using boot camp with no problems. Since then, I upgraded HDD from the laptop of the original 500 GB SSD to a Transcend JetDrive 725 960 GB SATA III. Note, this is the only upgrade material I have made to the computer. Following this hardware upgrade that I decided to only restore my Macintosh HD, or unfortunately I will not restore the Bootcamp partition.

  I am now trying to install Windows 8.1 using training camp again, but unfortunately a few problems that prevent quick installation, I've experienced in the past. I have read this problem a lot but have not found a solution that works for me. Here are the steps that I've repeated several times:

  -Download an ISO of 64 bit Windows 8.1 since: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows8ISO.

  -Connect Force SanDisk Cruzer 8 GB USB 2.0 support

  -run Assistant Boot Camp

  -check all the tasks and continue

  -create a 60 GB partition

  -computer restarts automatically, and a windows setup screen

  -Enter the serial number of the product

  -Select installation upgrade, see here: http://s20.postimg.org/t7wy0siod/Photo_07_12_2015_12_16_23.jpg

  -PROBLEM: I am told that the installation cannot complete, see here: http://s20.postimg.org/day642qa5/Photo_07_12_2015_12_16_31.jpg

  I repeated this a few times with several USB 2.0 flash drives, but with the same results. I also tried selecting ' Custom: install Windows only (Advanced) ", but the next screen does not allow installation on the bootcamp partition, see here: http://s20.postimg.org/3mkq0xvgt/Photo_07_12_2015_12_15_09.jpgand here: http://s20.postimg.org/5pv58lv9p/Photo_07_12_2015_12_15_00.jpg "

  I would be grateful if someone could please help with this problem.

  It is the expected behavior. OS X does not have a license for the creation of NTFS. It creates a FAT partition. After the error, select the Format for only the partition named Bootcamp (do not use another partition) and let the installer to format it to NTFS and continue the installation.

  Upgrade will not work, because there is no previous installation of Windows to upgrade. You see the error message is correct.

• Reformat Windows 7 hard drive for the next clean install Windows ISO 10

  This is in anticipation of the next clean install of Windows 10 ISO.

  It is understood that I need to move from Win 7 to win 10 first, before clean install. (Select MS verify the legitimacy)

  It is understood that I need to reformat the hard drive before a clean install.

  It is also understood that the "recovery disk" can reformat the hard disk.

  ===================================================

  One of my computers in Win 7 I would successfully created the "recovery discs. (Wonderful)

  --------------------

  Problem:  My other Windows 7 (Vista upgrade) will not let me create the "recovery discs.

  When you do: start / run / recovery

  It allow me to create "backup and restore disks. (This is not the recovery disks that I need).

  ===========================

  Question: How do I reformat my another computer on Windows 7 (Vista upgrade)?

  Note: Two computers are different: the first is a HP, the other is a gateway.

  ("Partitions" of hard drives may be different.)

  I don't know: if I can use the recovery made the first computer disc to reformat my second hard drive?  If this isn't the case, I'll be in trouble, because I don't know how to reformat my second computer.

  You need to use the means to reinstall that you can upgrade Windows Vista Setup to format the drive.

  The other system recovery media is likely to not work, but you can always try, but have appropriate reinstall media just in case.

  For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

  It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

  Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

  1. check with ASUStek support, their drivers and documentation online and ask in their forums
  on known problems.

  iastor.sys = Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver - see ASUStek and chipset manufacturer. This driver
  may was pushed to the fault by other programs such as Symantec/Norton.

  This driver is extremely difficult to install if you need help of ASUStek, but you could also ask

  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check

• Satellite 4100xcdt does not recognize HARD drive after update BIOS version 8.20

  My laptop is a satellite 4100XCDT with windows xp and I want to install linux.
  Have the cd bootable linux (tested on other computers) but laptop doesn't not boot cd shape so I updated the bios with version 8.20 from the toshiba support site.
  Tried the disks formatted 1.44 and 7.20 such as recommended in the manual of the 4xxx series. BIOS has been updated successfully

  Result: after pressing the switch of the usual screen Toshiba appears, after the disc hard led flashes for a few seconds then windows except modus menu appears. After I made my choice (all tried) a few seconds later (and hard drive led light) flashes a blue screen (not enough long to read the message) and the computer is restarted. When starting from a back bootable floppy, I can't reach the (cd rom) drives (hdd) C and D
  But in my opinion that Windows Save menu modus is called from the hard drive (so I think that the hard drive still works)

  Hello

  Well, in my opinion a part on the HARD drive or bootable partition might be corrupted.
  You are right, if the windows save mode appears therefore HARD drive has been recognized by the BIOS and the HARD drive is bootable.

  I think there must be something wrong with the data on the HARD drive.
  Something similar happened on my laptop several weeks ago. After you use the chkdsk/r, I was able to run the operating system again. But then I installed everything again.

  On the Toshiba page I found the companion disc.
  The accompanying disk is capable of detecting your CD-ROM drive on the
  Toshiba during the boot process. If you need access to your CD-ROM
  Hunt, then delete "rem" Word the following lines in the Autoexec. BAT
  and CONFIG. SYS on the accompanying disk.

  REM if exist toscd001 a:\mscdex D:TOSCD001 /M:10 (AUTOEXEC. BAT)

  REM device = a:\toscdrom.sys (CONFIG. (SYS)
