Cannot get Windows 7 or 10 on NEW Inspiron 3650
New computer, less than 3 weeks old. Reference Dell 3650 Intel i5-6400. I don't know what you need to know? SATA, Bluetooth, wifi, HD 1 TB, Nividia graphics.
They never sent me the system drivers/operation right out the box records when Windows 10 had a few teething problems minor during the first week of use (and me being semi biased against him anyway since I'm generally a Win7 user) I decided to go back to Win 7. I used the Micrsoft tool for USB flash burning and installed Win7 Home Premium. The installation took, but without my factory drivers drive most of my drivers were not installed including my ethernet network card and wifi so I was DOA. Called Dell, they have been great and sent the discs the next day.
I had a few problems with the drivers, they sent me does not install/work and I thought okay although they are 10 for my build windows drivers. I should have stopped, worked on getting good win 7 drivers for my network card got hooked to the net and ran windows update or update my drivers manually from the Web site. I don't have. :( Instead I went to work to put Windows 10 on it and that's where the problems started...
Errors... tons of them...
Disk locked
Missing partition
No bootable device... Changed to a legacy secure boot disabled startup. Not much better and no luck. Ran chkdsk that everything works well, so this seems to be the software problem.
Then, I found that it had deleted my recovery disk that I didn't see what he listed more... The disc only I see is my 1 TB almost hard drive now, is that correct? I let fall to win allows 10 and thought ok try again 7 since it worked once. From what I can tell there is no operating system on this subject either right now. I decided to do a clean install of windows 7 and I formatted my drive C to NTFS. I changed the boot order so it could start on my USB which is where I got the image... and the windows 7 files started to load. Now I get:
CD/DVD device driver when installing win7 error. Nothing I try works. I tried many fixes posted on the net for this mistake, passage to usb 2.0 and others and nothing works. I tried to put my INtel drivers on a flash drive, but it does not recognize. I'm stuck. What should do?
I am novice to intermediate when it comes to all of this. Years, I scoured the forums looking for answers and I've always been able to solve my problems of software, this is the first time I actually posted a question. I don't know where to go from here. If only I could get an OS on it I feel like I could get this computer up and running, download the drivers installed etc... Is it possible to install drivers without operating system? Is there a work-around that works for me for this constant cd/dvd driver error during the installation of windows 7?
Help... Laughing out loud... Had 3 days ago. The computer works fine apart from that, and I didn't have to ship in return. I have at this point, he can't return to the store by their return policy, but it is under warranty from Dell. It's my fault for trying to go down and update without driver disks. What should do?
You need to F6 and Secure boot OFF, ON Legacy CSM drivers.
And you can not delete a Windows 10 partition with windows disk 7.

BOUGHT AND INSTALLED windows 8 NEW ACER a few weeks ago and now have decided to return the ACER. What should I do to get windows 8 transferred to a new pc? can I "return" windows 8?
thxs for any help
You must first remove Windows 8 on the computer by restoring it to its factory State. This will allow you to transfer the license to another computer and reactivate over the telephone:
New computers that come pre-installed with Windows often have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.
This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...
For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo
------------------
Continue to install 8 Windows on the new computer and reactivate by phone if necessary:
1. press the Windows key + X , and then click run, and then type: slui.exe 4
2. then press the ENTER"" key.
3. Select your "country" in the list.
4. choose the option "activate phone".
5. stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.
6. explain your problem clearly to the support person.

Saturday, I had a new inspiron 3650. I ran through the stuff to start and then I have it turned off and tried to install a new video card. The video card requires more energy than the 3650 has so I tried to replace the power supply. The new power supply was inconsistent with the 3650 so I put back the power SUPPLY original and the GPU. Now when I try to run just the power light blinks yellow. Fans start, but there is no input or output. That is, the monitor has no signal and the keyboard and mouse do not work. I have no idea of what is happening and any help would be appreciated.

Click son on some site that I can download a Trojan horse. Disabled Malwarebytes and AVG update did not find. Saved that I need and now want to erase the hd and reinstall. Cannot get computer to read what whatsoever. I myself once in safe mode, but now it tells me that it cannot find a hard disk. I can refer to boot from the CD drive, but it gives me a blue screen error "cannot find a hard disk. Any help?
Your computer most likely has SATA drive and the Windows XP installation disc does not include the SATA controller drivers so Setup can not 'see' the hard drive. You have several options:
1. to detect the drive, you must use the F6 method to provide the drivers of controller for the installation program, note that when you use the F6 method, the pilots MUST be provided on a diskette, the installation program will not accept the drivers from other media sources.
Adding third-party or updated during the installation of Windows driver
Mass storage drivers and the Setup process2. you can integrate the drivers into your installation CD:
3. you can go into the BIOS and change the SATA controller in IDE mode and the Windows Installer will be able to detect the drive. Most of the BIOS have this option is available, if you don't you will need to use option 1 or 2 above.

try reinstalling - cannot get Windows XP drivers working but material out Linux LiveCD work
After having picked up some malware on microtour DX7300 of my wife, I decided to reformat the disk and reinstall. For years and do not have a copy of the diskette of HP recovery that was created when we arrived first of all the computer.
I have a copy of Windows XP Pro, installed in such a way that very well. Device Manager is reported the driver problems with a large part of the devices as ethernet controller, audio, video etc. I guess I can install most of the people afterwards, except the network/ethernet because I need, obviously, to connect to the internet. Would have hoped that these devices are plug n play, but apparently not.
I used a Ubuntu LiveCD to connect to internet. So I know the network interface hardware works, and even audio and video resolution were out of the LiveCD.
Found the drivers on this site:
Those downloaded across the network. In reading the DX7300, it is clear to me if the network card is the Broadcomm one or Intel. Rebooted WinXP, I tried installing the Intel driver, got an error message no Intel device not found. So I guess that's the Broadcomm one. This driver, installation actually installed. However, even after a reboot the network device does not work and presents itself as an error in the Device Manager.
Thought I'd try to manually install the drivers by pointing "drivers" unpacked in the directory of installation above. Windows indicated that the correct drivers were not found there.
I'm at one end. The material seems to work under linux, but cannot get the win to install the drivers. Advice or help appreciated.
Hello:
This is exactly what I need.
First install the Chipset driver and reboot:
Then, install the graphics driver;
Then, install the MS UAA HD Audio Bus driver:
Then, install the HECI driver:
Now for your pesky NIC... It's a NIC from Intel.
Let's try this 'one size fits all' network driver Intel: you want the first listed download (XP 32 bit).

Cannot get Windows Update to download updates continuous Error 0x80072EFD

Microsoft Fix - it that starts automatically when you will allow you to join the article don't fix things not be and it gives me the same error code 0x80072EFD as the update of Windows. I can install updates from the Windows Update Catalog, but I can't just Windows Update to work. During execution of the controls in the article when I typed in Sfc.exe a Black Madonna window appears and disappears. There is Norton on that computer that causing Internet Explorer do not allow access to the internet and the Norton Removal Tool has been used to remove it. Immediately I could access the internet but when even could not get Windows Update to download updates. I tried to disable the Windows Firewall and still no help. I installed AVG and it finds several viruses on the computer, they were removed and still nothing with Windows Update. I even tried turning off AVG and nothing helped. Help! Frustrated.
Ok...
And how did you determine that the computer is no longer infected (i.e., by whatever it is)?
What is now the computer state to Windows Update?
