• Cannot install windows XP it said hard drives are not connected & windows can not find the hard drives

  I got an asus computer notebook windows vista, upgrade from vista to windows 7, now I'm not able to do a clean install of windows xp, when I try to install XP, it says that hard drives are not connected & windows cannot find not the hard drives, so once again installed windows 7, is there a way to overcome this problem Why do I get the message windows xp does not detect hard drives? I even formatted the hard drive & tried to install Xp, but still, I get the same message.

  The answers will be appreciated...

  Thank you

  Because the Windows XP installation CD does not have the necessary disk controller drivers.  You will need a floppy drive to provide the drivers of controller for the installation program, or you will need to burn a CD of Windows XP with the controller drivers slipstreamed into the installation.  A CD of Windows XP with SP2 included may have the necessary drivers.

• Is it possible to install Windows 7 on external HARD disk

  That is the problem.

  A friend with a Toshiba laptop (do not know the model right, but probably with win7 - 6 month old machine) has a problem with the internal hard drive.
  He crashed and his does not work.

  It has the toshiba recovery CD and an external hard drive.
  Is it possible for him to install win 7 on the external hard drive?

  (the easy medium woyld be buying a new in-house but for the next 2 months because of his work that it is impossible).

  Hello

  I don t think that it would be possible to install the Windows 7 external HARD disk.
  You should replace the internal HARD disk and should put the new HARD drive in the laptop.
  Then you should be able to install Windows 7 on the new HARD disc.

  Good luck

  > to restore the image system and external hard drive
  Who told you that you can install the image of the HARD drive recovery?
  In s user guides document is clearly described how recovery your machine and it is written that you must create recovery DVDs.

  Anyway, a long time ago, I saw a thread interesting any similar problem. I n t have the time to search now, but you can use the advanced search option and try to find it. I think it must be somewhere in the forum of recovery category options.

• DVD cannot install on Mac to format hard disk [using a case-sensitive file system]

  This morning I received my DVD with Lightroom 6 Win/Mac. I have inserted in my drive superdrive. But: Installation on my MacBookPro was denied, reason: my hard drive format is supported by the use of small and capital letters - which is the way normal for MacOs and necessary for backup with TimeMachine. What is the use of a Mac-DVD which can not be installed on a Mac? Something must be wrong here. Would be very grateful for help.

  'Standard' OS X file system is not case sensitive. Although you can use upper and lowercase in a filename to the extent where the system is concerned 'Filename' and 'filename' are the same. So if you try to copy files with the same name regardless of the case so the copy will result in a dialog box asking if you want to replace a file of the same name.

  I guess in your case, your disks have been formatted with case-sensitive file system, and you should generally refrain from using a file system case-insensitive with OS X.

• Cannot install Windows 7 Ultimate because the disk is an upgrade can is not a product key

  Original title: I'm in a difficult situation, help!

  First of all, I bought a new computer and tried to set up Windows 7 Ultimate. I have been informed that it is an 'upgrade' and I'm stuck in the set up screen requiring a product key that I tried to use, without success.

  I was wondering if it's because it's just an upgrade and I need Windows 7 Home Premium?
  And when to buy the premium what will become of her already implemented Windows 7 Ultimate?

  Your help would be greatly appreciated.

  Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

  When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

  Click on properties

  Scroll down to the Windows Activation

  Click the link x days before activation.

  Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

  Enter the product key

  Click next

  Select the Activation of the phone

  Click Next when you enter your key page

  Select your country

  Click Next, call the number listed

  Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

  Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

  They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

  Click next to complete the activation.

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

Please remove and unnecessary for PCI cards, cards AGP/PCI-E, external devices and use only the minimum amount of RAM you can. After doing this please try reinstalling the operating system.

  So why windows can't find hard disk and why can't I start windowds visat after installing with the recovery dvd?

  > So why windows can't find hard disk and why can't I start windowds visat after installing with the recovery dvd?
  On this virtual path, it is not easy to say why you can not install recovery image. It would be interesting to know if the same thing will happen when you replace the HARD with the same or identical.
  This title was the original HARD drive?
  If possible, try to get original Microsoft installation disc and check if the HARD drive will be recognized by Vista or Win7 and of course if you will be able to install and boot OS preinstalled.

  Regarding the installation of Windows XP Home edition: it is well known that the WXP installation will start properly due to lack of SATA driver that must be loaded prior to installation of WXP begins.
  Check out this forum and you will find hundreds of threads with detailed explanation why this happen and what can you do about it.

  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
