  The only reason I want to do is I did a clean install of windows 7 and the plugin TV Pluzz.fr and the internet do not work on this computer and it seems to be no work around. But I have a PC where WMC works fine and I can replace the entire record of WMC and it should work like the other PC (I think).

• Try to format and do a clean install of Windows Vista on an old my computer HARD drive at home to be placed in a new Tower. The installation does not start.

  Try to format and do a clean install of Vitsa on an old my computer HARD drive at home to be placed in a new Tower. DVD starts up fine and then goes into an endless loop of the repair system that continues to check the c: / drive to find errors. Why is the installation does not start?

  You must set your BIOS to start on the DVD from the beginning to the top.

  You have a good DVD of Vista (OEM/upgrade or full version) and NOT only a recovery disk provided by the manufacturer of the PC (or you burn you).

  For a DVD upgrade, follow the method here and make sure you format your HARD drive thanks to the tools of "advanced install" on the DVD.

  If you have a full version of Vista rather than a version upgrade then just do the first part of the above procedure.

• Clean install of windows 8 pro x 64 on a new ssd upgrade, I have windows xp x 32 on a disk hard available, which I no longer use, can I do this?

  I want to clean install windows 8 pro x 64 on a new ssd upgrade.

  I have windows xp x 32 on an existing hard drive which I no longer use, I can do this, that I can start the upgrade process, and then point the installation on the new SSD?
  I really don't want to install XP on the new SSD and am not bothered about keeping programs or settings

  How to do a clean install:

  Step 1: Use the upgrade wizard to describe the PC and pay the $40 (US)

  Step 2: When the 'Install Windows 8' message appears, select 'Install by creating media' to create a bootable USB key or .iso (a disk image) file.

  Step 3: Wait for the Wizard download Windows 8 Pro installation package and create the bootable media or .iso file. The flash player must be having 3 GB or more of free space available.

  Step 4: Burn the .iso file, if that's the path you have chosen, to a blank DVD.

  Step 5: Use this key USB or DVD to boot the PC.

  Step 6: When you get to the screen in the Setup program that asks, "which type of installation you want?" choose "custom".

  Step 7: Select a drive for the operating system partition in the next screen. At this point, you can create a new partition if there is enough space available or reformat the hard disk.

  Step 8: Proceed with the installation of Windows 8 Pro.

  You should probably do a phone activation after installation is complete.

  1. press the Windows key + X , and then click run, and then type: slui.exe 4

  2. then press the ENTER"" key.

  3. Select your "country" in the list.

  4. choose the option "activate phone".

  5. stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.

  6. explain your problem clearly to the support person.

• Looking for a product key for a clean install of Windows 7 on a material with a digital product key (DPK)?

  My usual corporate scenario when configuring new hardware is to receive the material, and then replace the image of stock with an image customized using MDT. After installation I change the product key in the product key valid for this hardware/operating system and then activate.

  My most recent material (Lenovo Thinkpad of T430 (2342-6FU)) comes pre-installed with Windows 7, but allows the upgrade to Windows 8. In line with new hardware in Windows 8, there is no certificate of authenticity (COA) on the material, or in the documentation. The product key is in the form of a digital product (DPK) in the UEFI WOOD key.

  My question is its form the simplest is, "where can I get access to a product key for Windows 7 given this scenario?" He has been on the COA, now it is not.

  I think that it is a valid usage scenario. I bought the license and install a custom image with the same bits as I have a license. I think I understand that if I install Windows 8, it would be aware of the DPK and active accordingly, but Windows 7, AFAIK, is unaware of the DPK and requires a key of product entry manually in a way any.

  Use a locator product keys to retrieve the product key.

  Here are four utilities, which can display your product keys if they are still there:

  Hello

  Any ideas?

• Satellite A100-225 keeps freezing and crashing with the new HARD drive

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite A100-225 with a 100 GB SATA Hitachi drive I int it that recently started showing bad sectors. Then I bought a Hitachi 320 GB SATA II drive to replace it. I tried the drive and it was recognized right away, so I didn't need to change the SATA speed. I ran the restore a disk installed newest. The problem I have is that the computer keeps freezing and crashing with the new drive. It takes a lot of time to load up when turned on and there is a noticeable to untermittant delay when you drag the cards around solo.

  I tried to run the Hitachi drive test and it comes back fine. I also tried to turn the SATA speed of the drive down from 300 to 150 via the firmware, and although I saw a slight improvement, it is still not right.

  I talked to Hitachi and they say that he could not be 100% compatible, so the problems. Someone at - it else sucessfully set up a replacement for this notebook drive and if so what make and model. Has anyone else had simular problems?

  Thank you

  Years ago, I've updated yet more former Satellite M70 with SATA HDD (270 GB if I m remembering well) and everything was fine.
  In my view upgrade with SATA HDD normal shouldn't be a problem. Do not SATA II because it will not work faster.

  I can't say for sure, but there must be a compatibility problem.

  Let's see if someone else had better luck with the upgrade of the disk on the Satellite A100.

  Have you checked this forum with advanced search option? Maybe you can find some old NET on upgrade the HDD on A100.

• Do a clean install of Windows Vista 32 8.1; advice on the new partition formats.

  Need advice on the size for my new partition (s).

  Currently defined as the partitions:

  Total: free:

  OS (c                          99.7G          11.9G

  Data (D G 111, 14.5 G)

  HP_Recovery (E 12.0 G 1.97 G)

  I am running:

  32 Vista Home Premium, SP1

  Basically I want a suitable partition for the new Windows OS 8.1 (more room for restore points).

  And the rest of the data area, I guess, as if I had originally.

  Does anyone have any other ideas, because I start from scratch.

• Windows 8 clean install from the recovery partition

  Hello, I just purcased a new computer, last week. It contains a copy of the widows 8. I just got a new ssd 240 GB and I want to do a clean install of windows 8 opperating system not a ghost copy. I do not have a windows disk with my computer but I have a recovery partition on my current hard drive. How can I get windows to reinstall on my new ssd with only the recovery partition?

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Hello

  A primary role of a set of recovery disks is to rebuild a machine after the failure of his HARD drive, in Exchange for a bigger HARD drive (capacity)) or Exchange a HDD with a SSD. I do not see why we cannot use the game in this case.

  Kind regards.

• Clean install of Windows 8 and Windows 7

  How do a clean install of windows 8 on a 7 hp windows computer. and how can you do a system recovery

  without having to install all other unwanted. Just the Windows 8 or Windows 7 works.

  It seems like HP won't install us just the OS.

  answer please.

  I'm glad you found it useful.

  Pre-ignition works for Windows 8, but it is slightly different. In Vista and 7, all of the computers Dell with Windows 7 Edition home premium for example turned on and had the same product key. They also come with Windows 7 modes of action that had a unique product key (the key of SLP). I also think that a Dell DVD could not be used on a HP and vice versa. Modes of action were of poor quality and prone to fading. In Windows 8, there is a unique product key into the system BIOS that supports the DVD (or MSDN/Technet .iso) starts from the BIOS. I suppose a Dell DVD could be used on a HP and vice versa, but I don't have a system with Windows 8 to run some tests on.

  P.S. Can you please not directly to the pdf file because I'm updating regularly the complete pdf - it will probably be an old revision when I update in a few days:

• After a clean install of Windows Vista, Intel Wifi card is installed and activated, but does not detect the network.

  Wireless card not working after a clean install of Windows Vista

  I did a clean install of Windows Vista Home Premium on my HP Pavilion of 32 bits. I've completely updated Windows via Service Pack 2. Given that the clean install, my wireless card, Intel (r) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN, was not able to detect all the networks. The Wifi card is listed under NICs as being installed and activated. the hardware on my laptop Wifi switch is set on "on" and the light is blue, indicating that the card is working.

  I can connect to the internet if I connect physically my computer to the modem with an ethernet cable wireless, so the modem isn't the problem. Other computers can connect to the wireless modem, so my Wifi modem functionality is not the problem. The problem with my computer.

  I tried to uninstall the Intel driver and reboot my computer with the generic driver. Install the driver generic, but my wireless card has not always worked. I then ran an update of windows, nothing helps.

  I tried to install the "Intel® PRO /? Wireless and WiFi Link"drivers for Windows Vista (32-bit 13.1.1.1 the latest version and the previous version 12.4.4.5 32-bit) for the Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN directly from the Intel Web site at http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Wireless+Networking&ProductLine=Intel%C2%AE+WiFi+Products&ProductProduct=Intel%C2%AE+Wireless+WiFi+Link+4965AGN. The map didn't always work with a driver.

  In addition to the pilots, I also downloaded a tool of diagnosis of Intel (Intel® PROSet /?) Utility of WiFi wireless connection for Windows Vista 32 -? Bit). Said diagnostic tool the WiFi card is not installed or enabled, however, Device Manager maintains that he is also installed and active.

  Is there a problem that causes Device Manager to say that all is well with the card, but does not map to realize that they diminish the radio signals? Everything's fine, diagnostic, it just does not detect networks around him. Help, please.

  Hello

  The on/off switch actually works?

  Since it is an internal adapter to ensure it is enabled in the settings of configuration/F2 (BIOS/CMOS) often like you
  Start - so look at the screen.

  Have you tried the computer on other WiFi networks? You had a WiFi type problem before the
  Re-install of Vista?

  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Your router could be suspicious here, you have successfully updated its firmware as a possible solution? And I would like to
  Update your WiFi drivers on computers. How you are positioned in the router? Are there
  obstacles in the path?

  Actually try updating your driver and disabling the network logon.

  Control Panel - network - write down of the brand and the model of the Wifi - double click top - tab of the driver - write
  version - click the driver update (cannot do something that MS is far behind the pilots of certification). Then
  Right click on the Wifi device and UNINSTALL - Reboot - it will refresh the driver stack.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager

  You can download several at once however restart after the installation of each of them.

  After watching the system manufacturer, you can check the manufacturer of the device an even newer version. (The
  manufacturer of system become your backup policies).

  Repeat for network (NIC) card and is a good time to get the other updated drivers as Vista like
  updated drivers.

  I would also turn off auto update for the drivers. If the updates Windows suggests a just HIDE as they
  are almost always old, and you can search drivers manually as needed.

• Missing Ethernet, network controllers SM Bus and PCI device after a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit

  Hello friendly folk,

  I got a used HP Pavilion G6 - 1C40CA.

  There was a clean install of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

  After searching around online, got a hint of what to do.

  For Device Manager are missing or not that there is not (small yellow exclamation triangle):

  Ethernet controller (Hardware ID: PCI/VEN_10EC & DEV_8136)

  Network controller (Hareware ID: PCI/VEN_14E4 & DEV_4727)

  PCI device (Hareware ID: PCI/VEN_10EC & DEV_5209)

  SM Bus controller (Hardware ID: PCI/VEN_1022 & DEV_780B)

  As well as to find good downloads, I know not to order that I should be their installation (if there is a specific order at all), and if I have to restart every time that I have install something again.

  If someone could be kind enough to drive me very precisely by the process? Pretty please? ^_^
