Cannot install Windows 7 Professional. Problems with partitions.

I have a problem installing WIN 7 Pro, I think that I managed to install a re - install Win 7 ultimate disc that came with my DELL laptop. As the disc, I guess that for a single use, something happened to prevent its use. Unfortunately I cannot start my new Zoostorm ACPI x 64-based PC successfully because windows will in the repair attempt, but can not correct now.
When I load the new Windows 7 pro, I get that, where you want to install windows, where
Disk 0 Partition 1, total size: 100MB. Free space: 78MB; Type: SC (reserved). When click on format gives the warning: the partition might contain recovery, system files or software files important computer manufacturer you. If you format this partition, all data will be lost.
The detail shows: Windows cannot be installed to this hard disk space. Windows must be installed on a partition formatted in NTFS.  Windows cannot be installed to this hard disk space. The partition is a partition of EFI (ESP) system.
Disk 0 Partition 2; total size: 128 MB; Free space: 128 MB; Type: SC (reserved). The warning on this is: Windows cannot be installed to this hard disk space. The partition is a partition MSR (Microsoft Reserved).
Disk 0 Partition 3; total size: 698,4 MB; Free space: 670MB; Type: primary. The warning on this is: the partition might contain recovery, system files or software files important computer manufacturer you. If you format this partition, all data will be lost.

On the three I haveoptions: Refresh; Delete; Format or load drivers.

I think I can segment the readers already, so don't want to do it again.
I can't start windows successfully, cannot use the update option.
If you have any ideas on this one I would be most grateful. Best regards Steve

Yes, you must delete all partitions, this will ensure that you will be able to start a clean slate with Windows 7 Professional.

    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.

    BIOS A07

    I thought it was a bug in the BIOS so I went to download the latest version of BIOS and to my surprise, it was the version A06. Does this mean A07 was buggy and Dell returned to A06?

    I also found this page http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=266327 that says N7110 BIOS A05 and A06 have lots of bugs ACPI but N5110 has not. This is perhaps related to my problem?

    Thanks in advance

    If a version of BIOS for a bug is detected, Dell normally does not 'pull'... that they usually emit an A08 to fix.

    Your blue screen is related to your storage driver.  XP cannot access SATA drives, you will need to load the driver for the SATA controller:
    http://Downloadcenter.Intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?AGR=Y&DwnldID=19607&ProdId=3321&lang=eng&OSVersion=Windows%20XP%2064-bit%20Edition * & DownloadType = drivers

    XP cannot get these drivers by diskette at the F6 prompt during the installation of Windows, so, unless you have a USB floppy drive and floppy, you will need to use nLiteOS.com to integrate the driver of your installation media.  This will create a new CD to install XP.

    Keep in mind that not all modern hardware is compatible with XP - XP is not a modern OS and you may have trouble getting all your devices to work properly under XP (64-bit, no less, who was quite unstable itself compared to 32-bit).

  • Cannot install windows after reset of the partition

    I've literally been sitting to my macbook for the last 10 hours trying to get my bootcamp at work, however after tons of things difficult and research I found online I'm always at a loss. Initially, I had installed windows 7 a few weeks ago for the second time (after that yosemite deleted my previous one during the upgrade) and everything was fine. Then, I took the decision to uninstall my windows because I really wanted to expand the size of my partition, then backed up all my files and used bootcamp to delete windows and re partitioning my hard drive to a single volume. However after this, and then following the same exact steps as before (running bootcamp and sharing in a larger space) once the restarts my laptop that it comes up with the message "No boot device - insert boot disk and press any key" instead start windows automatically load (as it did before). I've repeated several times in the hope that it would work once however I can't help but feel that there is a problem with my hard drive and when I try to check my hard drive (not the 'Macintosh HD' a top one) sometimes - (I say sometimes because it does not say this error when you try to check) said this :

    Audit score card for "APPLE HDD HTS547 * A9E384 Media.

    Checking prerequisites

    Checking the list of partition

    Problems were found with the partition plan that may prevent startup

    and yet when I performed the same task again 2 minutes later he says:

    The volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK.

    File system check exit code is 0.

    I'm really not good when it comes to such things, so this information can be totally irrelevant, sorry! I had originally check my volumes a recovery when yosemite initially deleted to repartition my hard drive and reinstall windows. I really don't know what to do, any help would be appreciated. I have no knowledge in this subject what so ever but I feel that my hard drive is damaged somewhere (even if yosemite still works perfectly and all my files appear to be intact) or for some reason my boot loaders do not work...

    I can provide more information if necessary, but quite frankly, I have no idea what I'm doing.

    Thank you for taking the time to read this if you have!

    1. do you use a USB key to install Windows?

    2 can you post the output of the following OSX Terminal commands?

    diskutil list

    Cs diskutil list

    sudo TPG - vv - r see the/dev/disk0

    sudo fdisk/dev/disk0

    The "sudo" commands will prompt to enter your password, and there do not appear to come back. You can also see caution against improper use 'sudo' and the potential loss of data due to an "abuse" of the order.

  • [Workstation 12] Cannot install Windows 10 Professional x 64 (RESOLVED)

    I think it would be a pretty normal scenario but I can't finish one out of the box of Windows 10 Professional x 64 installation.

    1. I mount my ISO and read the notification "Could not detect which operating system is in this image to disk." and click Next.
    2. I chose Windows 10 x 64 that the version since it is what it is, and then choose the location.
    3. I choose the type of BIOS firmware as EFI would not work.
    4. I choose 1 processor with 2 hearts.
    5. I chose 8192 MB RAM.
    6. I chose NAT for networking.
    7. I chose LSI Logic SAS because it's my only choice, the two other State not supported.
    8. I chose (recommended) SCSI
      1. I also tried IDE
      2. I also tried SATA

    Installation of Windows 10 starts and basically, it runs until it asks for a driver, probably because he feels like he can't install on a disk. I mounted the ISO VMware tools to see if he had any useful drivers, but it did not.

    I then installed again and point 8, I chose SATA and it did not have a difference however run diskpart shows that a drive is available! I've added another car also, an IDE, the same hard drive, now I see two drives but I can not install either!

    What everyone by installing Windows 10? I expect, it is a breeze as all the other BONES, and considering how many people are commenting on VMware with Windows 10, I can't wait for each VMware Workstation user jumped through hoops to make it work... it's frustrating!

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Your image ISO of Windows 10 is almost certainly corrupt.  Check the size of the file and the MD5 or SHA1 checksums against those who are posted to the Microsoft Download page and maybe download a new copy.

    12 workstation will not report "not able to detect which operating system is in this disk image" for a picture of Windows 10 ISO complete and valid.

    See you soon,.

    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

  • What are the size of partition recommended for installing Windows 7 Professional 64-bit?

    What are the size of partition recommended for installing Windows 7 Professional 64-bit? I have a 2 TB internal hard drive and want to install Windows and Norton Internet Security on the drive C, drive D and drive E data programs.

    Thanks for a response.

    Brenda

    Original title: size partition Windows 7 Professional 64 bit

    For technical purposes, I recommend you only keep utilities all programs that you install on the startup disk. This is recommended if you plan to upgrade to future releases of Windows such as Windows 8 because you will experience problems with the installation program.

    I recommend however, you can keep accumulated data such as Documents, Photos, music, videos on a separate partition to ensure custody.

    The recommended size for the boot drive around things like Windows, future growth for applications and the Windows updates and program updates will be considered.

    So I recommend not more than 200 GB, for a lot of space, I would shoot up to 300 if you want to keep things like System Restore Points.
