Cannot install windows7/format c drive

Hi all

I had ubuntu installed on my hp mini 1000 and you want to install windows 7, since after a few updates on ubuntu running it I screwed up and it is stuck on the loading screen.

the problem is when you try to boot from usb and install windows 7, that the system tells me that the c drive is not formatted properly and I need to reformat.

Well, when I try to do it tells me that the disk is write protected and it wouldn't let me format. now, I'm stuck and really don't know how to go about formatting the drive.

really do not want to buy a new SSD if it is not messed up. would really appreciate your help.

You must delete all partitions on the ssd drive, then try to install W7.

  • Satellite P105 - cannot install the nVidia display driver

    I tried to complete the download several times for the nVidia Display Driver 9.7.5.4.

    First where installation is not complete citing «that this computer doesn't have the correct material...» ', then the Windows message came and said that "If this configuration is not completely successful click blabla" and I did.
    Now when I run the installation it always stops in the same place. But now it is said that * "Setup cannot be performed because this driver only works on Windows Vista, and is not Windows Vista. But the thing is I have Windows Vista! *

    Current display driver: Mobile Intel (r) Express ChipSet Family 945GM

    Laptop model: Satellite P105-S6177

    Hello

    > Current display driver: Mobile Intel (r) Express ChipSet Family 945GM
    And then you want to install a nVidia display driver?
    LOL :D

    I think that you can not install a nVidia display driver because your laptop is equipped with an Intel chipset and graphics card.
    You will never be able to install nVidia display driver and thus make the message that you do not have the correct material.

    Intel and nVidia graphics cards graphics cards are different things, so don't mix do not!
    Some P105 was equipped with nVidia cards and others with Intel card and it seems that you have an Intel card.

  • Cannot install Windows7

    My PC has a virus if wrong, I decided to buy a new hard drive. I disconnected the old one and installed a new.  Turn on the power. Everything seems normal. I inserted the same disc OEM Windows 7 I used originally when I built this computer. I get a black screen with the exception of a single line that says... "" something, something, boot from the cd/dvd: _ "." I click on "enter"... and nothing! It took me a while to come to the conclusion that perhaps my OEM copy was a schedule a. From what I hear OEM motherboards to join. The only thing I changed was the hard drive, not the mobo.  The instructions its so easy. "Turn on / installation disk / click on enter / select the language, and the world is beautiful." Not on my side! Suggestions anyone?

    Coppies of Windows OEM are related to the motherboard, that they are activated on, not the hard drive.  You must have a problem with the disc you.  Purchase of a new copy of Windows 7 OEM will not work because you must use the OEM preinstallation kit and then sell the computer according to the terms of the license.

  • Cannot install for photosmart d110 driver because not digitally signed

    D110 Photosmart all-in-one.  Cannot install driver after running recovory disc.

    Windows 7 64 bit Dell Inspiron 580.

    I had to run the recovery disk after receiving the virus/malware.  It seems that all the other printer drivers are on my computer.  I downloaded the driver from HP.com several times and it cannot be found by my computer.  Manually, I tried to load it from the disc supplied with the printer and got the following error message: "cannot install driver because it is not digitally signed or not signed in the appropriate way.»

    We could continue, while reinstalling Windows would finally settle the matter. If you believe that the issue is related to the virus, you can run a scan for viruses on your computer using any anti-virus software you have. After that, reinstalling Windows could be the next step.

    Alternatively, you can try to install the printer in Mode safe, if you have not already.

    If you could mark a message with the accepted Solution if I helped you, would be great!

    Please let me know what happens. Thank you!

  • Satellite A300-RJ1 - cannot install the new graphics driver from Intel page

    Hello.

    Another problem.
    When I use the "integrated" Vista, I can not install the new graphics driver (intel inside).
    Whenever the error message: the driver is not validated by your system, please contact your producer.

    So if I install a clean windows, so I can install the new graphics driver: S and I want to install because it is much more recently than the preinstalled :(

    Hi mate

    You can install this driver, but you need to use different installation procedure.
    You must install it in the Device Manager.

    Here, you can choose Advanced Setup, then choose don't search. I will choose the driver, then point to the driver files that you have stored on the HARD disk and complete the installation.

    But note; I read here that the use of non-Toshiba drivers is always at your own risk

  • Cannot install Windows 7 HARD drive problems

    Hi all!

    I have lenovo ThinkPad T540p. Intel Core I7, 8 GB RAM and 500 GB HARD drive. I think my HARD drive is Toshiba. It had Windows 7 on it, but it starts no more on this subject. When I start Windows is it shows 5 seconds black screen, and then it displays the Boot Menu. Well, I tried to reinstall Windows, but when I have to choose on which disk to install Windows, I get an error: "no hard drive found." And the list with readers is empty, so I can't reinstall Windows. I've updated the BIOS, but it did not help. Finally, I formatted my HARD drive and created two partitions on it. It worked, but not for long. I installed Windows 7. Everything was going well until I restarted my computer. And then I got the same problem: 'Cannot start from the HARD disk' and displays the Start Menu. Then I booted Windows installation and I got the same error: "no hard drive found."

    I don't understand what is happening with my HARD drive and that is to destroy his scores.

    And I don't think that my HARD drive is broken.

    I don't really know what to do!
    Please, help me!

    Thanks a lot!

    Here is the solution:

    My HARD drive was broken. I bought a new MX100 of Crucial SSd and everything is fine.

  • Portege Z830: Cannot install Win7, complains about driver CD/DVD

    Hello!

    I have a brand new Portege Z830 and as usual wanted to start by installing a new installation of Windows 7 x 64 (that I don't want the software provided and cannot be trusted, that it is safe in any case). I have saved all of the disk, prepared a flashdisk USB bootable with Windows Setup and it. The flashdisk OK boots, Windows wonder about my language and keyboard, and then shows a screen where I can choose between installation, repair and something else (the Recovery Console, I think).

    I click on install, Windows starts the installation program aand once a first dialog box appears, it displays an error message that basically says (this is a translation of the message from my localized Windows): "a required CD/DVD drive driver is missing. If you use a driver from the floppy disk, CD, DVD, or the flashdisk, insert now. "And I can't get over this error message. The strange thing is, there is no reason for that Windows requires no additional driver, because he can read the installation flashdisk (apparently) and he can see the ultrabook SSD, too (can be verified as well in the recovery console and clicking the browse of this dialog box). So far I have tried:

    (1) four different Windows 7 images (two of them to MSDN AA, two physical, that have been used successfully to install the OS before).

    (2) switch SATA mode to AHCI Compatible.

    (3) two different flashdisks.

    (4) any combination of the boot order.

    Nothing has worked. I even tried e-mailing of Toshiba, but all messages to return with 'user unknown' (understandable, I had to guess addresses since Toshiba doesn't seem to provide some official way to communicate with them - or is hiding if well I have found it). Does anyone have an idea what I can try next? I rather like the Z830 and I'd love to use it, but the ability to install my own installation of the operating system is essential for me.

    Thanks, Pepak

    > I tried e-mailing of Toshiba...
    Maybe stupid question now, but have you tried to contact Microsoft too? If the BIOS is OK, and if all the USB ports work correctly, I don t think it is Toshiba related issue. Toshiba offers notebook with the original recovery image (WIN7 64-BIT HOME PREMIUM) and ability to create bootable USB stick with the recovery image that can be used when you want.

    What you do now is your own installation of the OS. Toshiba has to do is to offer to all the important factors, download tools and utilities on the drivers page.

    What else could you try? Try to get external USB ODD and trying to install WIN7 using Microsoft installation disc. I'm sure it will work.

  • Satellite A660-07U - cannot install the new display driver

    When I got to my laptop, it wouldn't even start the box! So I googled how to get operational and it wouldn't install Windows 7 32 bit, so I installed Windows 7 64 bit and that worked.

    I am one of the users who is also having their laptop freeze on them at all times. I did the update to the Bios and it always does. So I decided to try to update the graphics drivers with new ones on this site, but it seems that they won't install. I got 64-bit drivers for Windows 7 first, I have Windows 7 64 bit installed in my laptop. But it cannot find the necessary material, I thought, he says its because my laptop is not a 3D version, should even elsewhere?

    So then I tried the 32 bit drivers and it says im using the wrong system operating system for these drivers.

    How about if some drivers I can use?

    Hello

    A moment I really t understand: why you have your own version of Windows 7?
    Usually by Satellite A660 is always equipped with operating system (Windows 7) and it s already preinstalled. This means that you can start your computer laptop out of the box and Windows 7 will begin. Therefore, you don't need an additional installation.
    And let me guess: you don t have created a right Toshiba Recovery disk?

    In any case, before update you the display driver you must remove the older version first. Then, restart your computer and install the latest version.

  • Equium M50 164: cannot install the Ethernet controller driver

    My laptop was recently formatted and everything is back to normal except the DSL; Device Manager displays a yellow exclamation mark on Ethernet controller.

    I tried to find a suitable and closest driver, I had was Equium M series PSM59 (5.621.628.2004). I have downloaded and run the installation, but the yellow exclamation point is always there - even if I uninstall the driver and restart the installation. I get the message "new hardware found" and the installation wizard appears. But when I try to refer to the specific location for the driver, it says driver not found.

    What is the correct driver for the machine? If not, what is it and what is the address of the site? And I do it the right way?

    Thank you

    Fauzan

    Hello!

    Satellite A50-164 belongs to the series of PSM57E, not the PSM59 series that you have posted.

    In order to check the Toshiba website for drivers and the controller again missing Ethernet could be the card LAN or WLAN card.
    Make sure you have both installed.
