• Cannot install windows 7, error: Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is the GPT partition style.

  Partion of style, I was using before windows 8 but then format
  My hard drive please guide me on how to archive this because only through
  I'm really frastrated

  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.

  Note: Backup your important data to an external drive

  Change a Table of Partition GUID drive on a main boot drive

• Cannot install Windows 7 on Envy 14-1211nr of HP recovery disc sent twice

  Cannot install Windows 7 on Envy 14-1211nr of HP recovery disc sent twice

  The Recovery Manager starts well. He correctly completed the following steps:
  1 format HDD

  2. copy the files from the CD to the drive. It copies all the 3 CD.

  Then he ask the driver (the 4th CD) CD. Once I have this CD, then after awhile I get messge below:

  Contact HP support

  In most cases, recover the hard disk will solve your problems.

  If your problem persists, you may have to contact HP support. Find details of support HO in the documentation of your PC.

  After that I see above meaage the only button I can click is "Finish". Once I click on finish, then in a minute, I get a message that "recovery completed successfully.

  The laptop restarts and displays the message on the screen "Bootmger" not found

  I called HP support and asked to run the hard drive and memory test and he succeeded.

  I can install windows on another CD I have with.

  But I can't install WIndows using the recovery CD, I received from HP. It's the 2nd CD series that I received these don't work or the other.

  I have two identical laptops. Tried installing on both and having the same problem on both.

  Can you please help with this.
  HP sends fake CDs?

  Hello

  Here is another solution, you can try to see if you can get Windows 7 to install correctly.

  Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

  An example of a COA label can be seen here.

  You can create an installation disk yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( this must be the version exact same origin supplied with your laptop ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is here.  These Images are clean and a well respected source, however there are only limited versions available.

  Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

  Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

  Go into the BIOS (F1 at startup), set the "compatible" SATA mode (NO AHCI), then press F10 to save and exit, and you should be all set.

• Get the error code 641, cannot install Windows updates.

  Reluctant to do a reinstall of windows.  I had the same problem, find the same useless information on a cure.  I did a reinstall of windows (Vista) and partially by installing the updates of windows I ran into the same problem again, the windows installer does not.  Even from scratch will get not anywhere, leaving you at least your system as it stands leaves can be used instead of a partially updated with no program system.

  I wonder if Apple has this kind of problem?

  Can someone help me?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Did you install the SATA drivers first?
  You need this driver to recognize the HARD drive!

  You must download the Intel Matrix Storage Manager. You should find it on the page of the Toshiba driver or the Intel Web site.

  You must perform the installation of an external USB FDD drive using the F6 key during the installation of Win XP.

  Hello

  I see that you have a problem in the installation of new Windows USB port. It seems that your HDD was not detected, right? It's because your laptop uses a SATA HDD.

  what you need to do are:

  1. download the driver AHCI SATA website of intel. (just google it)

  2. copy the files (size 700 KB for 6 files) into the new USB

  3. reboot and install your laptop with win 7 (dvd/usb)

  4. by the time win 7 installation reached the drive to install (none detected), click load drivers.

  5. now load your other USB SATA drivers.

  6. then will show all disks in your system.

  7. continue with the installation process.

  hope this helps.
