  • Cannot install Windows 8 with the new drive, because the key will not

    I just rebuilt a 64-bit pc. I had windows 7 on it and decided to do a clean install of windows 8. Bought a version OEM from Amazon yesterday. Arrived today and the disc was in double sealed package of Microsoft Corporation.  The package comes with the key in very small print on the back that I had to read with a magnifying glass. This key is not accepted during the installation of the software. I checked that it was OK and I tried several times but the key has not been accepted. What should I do now?

    Hello

    I assume you are using the disk that came with the OEM key to install your system? If you are then the only people who can help you is the team of Microsoft License, you can contact them here:

  • Do I need a disc to install Windows XP with sp2 or 3 to reinstall windows on my 240 GB hard drive?

    When I try to reinstall Windows XP from a CD of SP1a installation based on a 240 GB HDD I get errors of editing. I tried both the standard IBM image software supplied with the PC and Windows XP Home Edition with SP1a installation CD. I checked the hard drive and it is fine. Because of the size of the hard drive?

    Installation crashes still in the phase where the machine ends with the CD and try to reboot from the hard drive. It gets to the windows image and freezes or dumps saying files are missing. How can I get my installation works.

    Hello

    Yes, you need a Windows Xp installation disc to reinstall Windows Xp, check this link to more information:

  • 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.

    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.

    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.

    OS: Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 164-bit

    Product ID: {removed privacy}

    Description of the problem: same problem on the computer desktop and laptop at the same time began: cannot install Windows updates (has no status)

    No hardware changes or software recently made to the system: I followed the usual procedure to install Windows updates.

    Method of connection: wireless

    Technical expertise: intermediate level

    Performed troubleshooting: because the error # 80071 A 90 type indicated by the system, I followed the instructions of Windows Help and Support, for example to run Microsoft Fix it which did not work; a more advanced method has also been used, who recommended to start Windows Update in Mode safe, then open Windows Update and install the updates and then restart normally. At this point, the problem was that any stage of Windows Update was available.

    Hello amib004,

    As much as I know, only Windows Update cannot be run in safe mode. That being said, I saw where install several updates may conflict with each other. Try to disable all updates installation and install the updates failed one at a time.

  • Cannot install Windows XP on Equium A200

    Hello

    I uninstalled vista on my laptop Equium A200. My idea was (a popular) to uninstall vista and XP, get rid of the unstable operating system (sorry, personal opinion)

    Of course the XP installation noted that I have no disks on my pc. I got the SATA drivers, purchased an external floppy and F6'ed my path to the windows install. I needed to manually edit files on my floppy drive, so that the installation of the OS would find the drivers as well. I got through the complete installation, when she saves the settings in the very fine tip, it restarts automatically (I don't remember if XP was supposed to do by default, anyway) when the system starts up once again, it appears the blue screen of death of about 0.5 seconds and restarts.

    Now, I also had a disk with nlite, so drivers were there so I tried this and everything was the same (I don't need my way through installation F6) and the last blue screen of death pointed out that there is once again a problem with my HARD drive and I have to check for viruses.

    I am of ideas at the moment. I don't want to take it back to the shop cause, that they will probably charge me for it and still put vista.

    any ideas?

    Thanks in advance

    The XP installation should be possible. Don t see serious reasons why the XP shouldn't t run on your A200 Equium.

    As you know the driver SATA (Intel Matrix Storage Manager) must be included during execution of the XP installation

    It is very important that you install a XP with SP2!
    Win XP without the XP2 may makes problems

    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.

    (My Automatic Updates usually work, but this time not to go.) Updates are obtained through IE8 browser, but I prefer FireFox for daily use.)

    Thank you! Success!

    I used method 2, because I had already tried method 1 earlier, but the "fix it" went wrong. After reading the information from method 2, I opted to use my FireFox instead of IE8 browser, because I suspected that the process Internet Explorer that are included with the update was a large part of the cause of my problem. Among the options, I used Microsoft Download center to locate the update I needed and then through its validation and finally made the download and reboot. Voila!

    Can you please explain why the process more automated via IE did not work for me? Why I resorted to the labour process more that I used? Can I expect this of all the other "critical" updates that I get on my machine Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005? Maybe your answers would also be interesting to others.
