    Hello world

    I know, there are several other threads on this topic, but I couldn't find a working solution. I currently have no OS on my DELL XPS 17 L702X.

    I've tried wiping HARD drive and reformat with GParted. I don't really know what I could do.

    I would be very grateful if you could help me

    Hello

    I suggest that you contact the manufacturer of the computer to change the BIOS settings and check if it is has updated the BIOS.

    Important: 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.

    Let us know the results. We will be happy to help you further.

  • Boot Camp Windows Installation 10 - "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. It's the GPT partition style.

    Hello

    I tried to dual boot Windows 10 alongside OS X El Capitan on my iMac 21.5 inch i5 end 2013. I have followed all the instructions in the Boot Camp assistant, restart, choose the yellow 'Windows' drive to boot from, but when I get to the Windows installation, enter the product key and language, and then select the partition (0-4, the partition Disk Partition) it tells me that "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is the GPT partition style. »

    So I found this answer: How do I install Windows 8.1 on Haswell MBP

    But then I received the same error.

    Tried this: http://macriot.com/mcrt/?p=2362

    But fdisk TPG allow me to change anything, as the SIP is enabled.

    Tried to disable SIP via a command line in a terminal in recovery mode, but got an error-bash: command not found csrutil.

    So now I'm stuck on all fronts. Any ideas?

    Thank you

    RedPanda

    1. your iMac end 2013 supports the facilities of BIOS/MBR and GPT/EFI.

    2. the legacy BIOS/MBR method requires a hybrid MBR.

    3 EFI/GPT is recommended for your specific model.

    4. you can use the GPT Fdisk steps in your link to make your drive a GPT disk only. It is not enough.

    5. you will need to convert the FAT32 partition space using the following OS X Terminal

    diskutil eraseVolume free disk0s4 FREE

    This will return an error, because free space is not associated with disk slices.

    6. at this point, use the USB installer created by the wizard of BC, boot from it and hold down the Alt/Option key and select Boot EFI (not Windows). Point to the portion of the free space that you see after the + 620 MB Recovery HD. It will separate into a small (128 MB) MSR and the rest as MSD (NTFS).

    7. do not install W7 in Boot EFI, because it has some difficulties.

    8. when Windows is installed, and BC drivers are not installed, run setup.exe from the Bootcamp folder.

    9. If csrutil is not found, you are in the recovery of the Internet, because your local Recovery HD is corrupted. The rescue of the failure of the local recovery is restoration of Internet. Your must be on El Capitan. There is no csrutil (or SIP) before El Capitan.

  • 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

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

  • Stop windows update to install Nvidia driver version 52.16

    Hello

    Recently, I upgraded the PC of my father to WinXP SP3. It is an old DELL Dimension of 11 years. After installation there is a nagging question that won't stop.

    Windows Update keeps trying to install the following:

    MICROSOFT VIDEO NVIDIA GEFORCE 4 MX 420

    NVIDIA driver version 52.16

    This update is not necessary for the monitor to run.

    So far, my difficulty was to start in safe mode and back the driver.

    Windows Update repeatedly installed this driver. I have

    detailed instructions on how to block this specific update to settle here.

    Thank you

    Dwayne Boyd

    To hide an update in Windows XP, just go to the Windows Update site and uncheck the update and click on the + sign next to it. At the bottom of the explanation expanded the update the checkbox to hide this update become active and can be selected, thus masking the update.

    Then, you need to remove the update from the temporary folder:

    Stop the automatic updates service

    Click Start, choose run.
    In the run box, type services.msc.
    Click OK.
    Right-click the automatic updates service.
    Click on stop.
    Stopping the service will take a moment.

    Delete the content of the download folder
    Click Start. Choose run.
    In the run box, type %windir%\SoftwareDistribution
    Click OK.
    Open the download folder.
    Delete all the contents of the download folder.
    Close the window.

    Start the automatic updates service
    Click Start. Choose run.
    In the run box, type services.msc.
    Click OK.
    Right-click the automatic updates service.
    Click Start.
    Starting the service will take a moment.

    By removing the contents of the download folder - you have removed all downloaded
    updates.

    Now, the next step would be to configure Windows Update in order to warn only rather than automatically download and install updates. In this way, you stay in control.

    Help, please! Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware (HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GH40F SCSI CdRom Device) because the driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)

    Hello

    Code 39 means that the driver is corrupted or missing.

    Please make all below even if you have done some before as it is often the set of operations which solves
    the question.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
    Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
    This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
    slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Compatibility report

    "windows cannot be installed on a computer using battery power. If the battery is discharged during the installation, you can lose data. to continue the installation plug into the computer power adapter.

    any help would be appreciated

    Dean

    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.

    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.
