Clean install of Windows 7 Raid1 failure

My Dimension E510 has been bought with a 2 discs, XP Media Edition Raid1 configuration.

Wanting to expand the use of this system (with the support of April approaching 2014 deadline), I bought a copy of Windows 7 Professional and two drives 1 TB Western Digital.

1. After you have installed the 2 drives "in white", I booted the system and press Ctrl - I install the Raid1 array.

2. I have inserted my Win7 installation disc, rebooted and begins the installation.  (Installation recognized a "single" disc, which seems reasonable since I had configured the Raid1 array).

3. the installation seems to proceed normally.  Passed through the "adaptation of files...". "etc and restarted.

4, after the reboot, installation continued for some time, in the "end of installation" part  (The progress at the bottom bar was almost the end.)

5. then a message box displayed, saying that "Windows cannot be installed on this hardware configuration.

Is it possible to complete the installation successfully?  The system was working well on Windows XP.  (I had rebuilt one drive down once, but never need to reinstall the operating system).

It is, in fact, not possible to install Win7 with Raid1 on this machine, I'll break the table and finish the installation.

Just thought I could get a little more fast performance with the Raid1 array.

Any help on this would be appreciated!

RAID 1 will not give you better performance... it is intended to protect your data against exactly what you lived with the defective disc only (so he did his job).

The question is not Windows 7 on RAID 1... It is most likely a driver problem:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2466753

You could try to load drivers for Vista x 86 (supported on the E510 - Windows 7 is not officially supported, Dell has no drivers for Windows 7, but we can get one elsewhere if it does not work):

  • A clean install of Windows 8 OEM - Media Download

    Hello world

    I'm a Rockstar of Dell Community and I was a writer of the Dell community wiki. My Windows reinstallation Guide wiki and related Guides can be found here:

    I'm trying to find a download link that allows users to clean install their version OEM of Windows 8.

    There are ways to install Windows 8 with a product key and generic product keys are available, but the installer of Windows 8 seems to accept, then only reject them by saying: unable to connect:

    http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/software-OS/w/microsoft_os/4415.a-clean-install-of-Windows-8-not-working.aspx in addition, this Setup requires a previous working version of Windows and is clearly not suitable for a variety of reasons for any new installation on a blank hard drive (which may be necessary in the event of failure of the hard drive for example).

    It seems to be too difficult for users of Dell in Europe in order to obtain the media:

    http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/software-OS/f/4677/t/19476992.aspx

    We would like a download link and I have mentioned this to all my Dell contacts and posted on IdeaStorm about this:

    I lobbied for this on the end of Dell but have not had much luck until now so I need to push him on the end of Microsoft, but do not have a lot of contacts Microsoft.

    It seems no to little interest to write "A clean install of Windows 8" If no users can get media without having to purchase a new license, I wrote, but it is incomplete without a valid download installation source.

    Can anyone from Microsoft, Microsoft VIPs and community stars look at my wikies and ideas IdeaStorm and offer a viable solution, so I can complete my wiki and users can clean install their operating system without any preinstalled junk or have a way to reinstall their OS, if everything goes wrong.

    A direct link would be preferable because a hard disk can fail and needs replaced. Use of the Upgrade Advisor is acceptable, but such that it download the 32-bit installation on a 32-bit computer files and 64-bit on a 64-bit computer, it's not ideal because users will not have the possibility of that they want to take. by example if computer 1 is 32 and computer science 2 (computer problem) is 64 bit, then they will be run in troubles.

    With the product key in hacking the BIOS shouldn't be a problem if the media is free to download. However if a legitimate source is not available for users to clean install with piracy will increase considerably.

    In addition the inability of users to read the product key can also be a problem for the activation of product in some rare cases. I suggest that Microsoft allow / OEM do print the product key in the BIOS as safety net information:

    Edit warnings on Windows 8.1 adding updated:

    Scenario 1: most of the OEM recovery partitions generally do not work once the partitions systems have been modified in any way or an operating system is reinstalled. The user should rely on the internal recovery partition while they are completely baffled after trying to install Windows 8.1.

    Scenario 2: The user should recovery media before installing Windows 8.1 overview - you know as well as I do that some people will not create the recovery media.

    Scenario 3: Recovery programs do not always work. I saw, overall community Dell, many clients have difficulties, create recovery media. They are in trouble, if something goes wrong.

    Scenario 4: The user thinks that they have created a recovery media, but really what they have created is a corrupted DVD set (i.e. used low-quality DVD or USB). When they are in pain to go and use, they do not work.

    Scenario 5: The user made a recovery media and he lost. They are also in trouble.

    Scenario 6: The user suffers from an out of the box starting problem when the system arrives due to misconfiguration of factory settings, in particular with a cache drive I've seen many users have and could easily fix it on their own, but can't because they have no .iso Windows 8 or 8.1 of Windows.

    Scenario 7: A major problem that corrupts any installation of Windows 8 or virus Windows 8.1 and infects USB recovery when the user tries to start from it. A third-party utility such as DBAN could be used to wipe the system in this case and new facility could be made using a .iso and a USB after.

    Scenario 8: Windows 8.1 is a Service Pack. Service Packs have been known to cause a range of issues especially when third-party software and drivers are installed in front of them. Hint, hint factory settings. Factory settings are preloaded with these problems. Its why my Windows reinstallation Guides always recommend to install Windows, then on the stand-alone Service Packs via updates unless they are included on the installation media. Note, that I recommend that you install the Service Packs before the system drivers. Users do not have these problems if they are properly followed up my guides.

    Several scenarios could be made by mixing these 8 above to the top.

    Edit 2: See the comments made by 2 MVP who responded to this topic which seems to indicate that they want to make things worse by removing the download links of Windows Vista and Windows 7:

    http://spywarehammer.com/simplemachinesforum/index.php/topic, 14452.0.html

    So it's very obvious from the actions of Microsoft that Microsoft aims is not to prevent piracy, but double dependent people when their system fails and requires a re-installation of external media (in which case they upgraded to a SSD, or their recovery partition is wiped out. The percentage of those who just end up buying a retail version of Windows when their disk failed hard is very important, something that adds dramatically to the benefits of Microsoft. These business practices of Microsoft are clearly unjust and illegal and something must investigate and pursue the U.S. Department of Justice.

    This part is quite obvious, given that their prevention of piracy is so poor that their policies can only intended strictly to reap illegal profits to force non-legal tech savvy users to pay twice for windows they already paid when they bought their system. It was not the case, they would freely allow users to download an OEM ISO of Windows 8, so that they can recover if their hard drive fails completely, as OEM ISO is useless for a pirate without a license (usually built-in to the motherboard) key and a pirate will have easy access to a copy of Windows 8 without worrying. Again, the only people hurt by these policies are legal users, not pirates.

    Now that piracy is concerned, I further suspect that given poor piracy prevention mechanisms of Microsoft that allow hackers to distribute auto activated copies of Windows 7, etc. that Microsoft would have rather let poor people use a pirated version of Windows to completely block and force them to use Linux that would increase the base of Linux users. So I surmise that they intentionally allow ways for hackers to hack their Windows software anyway, because the poor free moccasins will not pay for Windows do anything because they have simply not the money, yet nevertheless it is in the interest of Microsoft to prevent them moving to Linux because most of the poor is just young, and will later money for licenses of Microsoft. But here again the only systems in question here are systems more alumni who have XP or Vista, licenses while other systems that people are supposedly piracy have valid Windows 7 and 8 license keys that Microsoft wants a double payment for!

    The Windows 8.1 with update 1 .iso is now downloadable without entering a product key. It is downloadable for the OEM license and I've documented here in an updated guide focusing on licensed OEM with UEFI and SecureBoot:

    http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/download-Microsoft-Windows-and-Office/Download-Microsoft-Windows/download-Windows-8-1-retail-and-OEM-ISO/

    This .iso works with product keys well Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. The main issue is to determine your edition. The edition correct will automatically enter your product key and brings you to the screen of the license agreement. Incorrect editing will ask for a product key. Also, there are two editions of 'free' missing; Windows 8.1 with Bing and Windows unilingual 8.1 with Bing.

    Ironically, Microsoft fixed the deployment of multimedia files of Windows 8 (not at 100% but greatly) and then severely broke the deployment of multimedia files Windows 7 a few months later.

  • Question seeks to clean install 10 Windows on the drive of the merger. El Capitan.

    Problem: try a clean install of Windows 10 via the Boot Camp Assistant on an iMac 27 inches (Late2013) with 10.11.4 installs hours (more than 8 hours) and then failed to install Boot Camp updates. Essentially installation take much long than normal and cannot install updates of the Apple software or create normally start Windows Boot Camp 10.

    Background: After problems of slowing down after upgrading to 10.11.4 (with improved Bootcamp Windows 10) who had previously worked fine for 10 months, to the point of a start of OS X time, I decided to do a clean install of my iMac with Fusion 3 to disk.

    As I was unable to remove the partition from Boot Camp through BCA because of his holding always at the same load, I used Internet recovery and reset the Fusion drive. This then required me to repair the partition of Fusion by car through THE "fix" option which seems to work very well. And reinstalled OS X 10.11.4 which works fine now (delays etc..)

    Try using BCA to create a new partition Boot Camp and a clean Windows 10 install after downloading an image of disk W10 directly from Microsoft (Win10_1511_1_English_x64), BCA by downloading software updates and by selecting the desired partition, it began to restart and initialize the installation. However the whole process has been very slow, each step takes much longer than usual, to progress. Leave for hours rest a blank screen or with a circle of rotation.

    I tried with another stick USB 3 and also a USB 2 stick, but none has made a difference.

    In the last attempt, I left running overnight and after 8-9 hours, he finally reaches the top of desktop Windows 10 and the update of Apple Bootcamp starts to load updates. However, he just hung and even after 2 hours, nothing was. Reboot and try once again has been the same.

    After that I tried to create a Windows Installer via BCA 8.0 however it gives just a TPG error when you try to select the drive (due to el Capitan I guess?)

    After four days of efforts, I'm a loser on how to get the Windows 10 on the Boot Camp partition. I can't even install W8 and upgrade due to the error of TPG.

    Any help or suggestions how to proceed with the diagnostic / resolution of the problem would be appreciated.

    Details:

    System: iMac (27 inch, end of 2013), 3.4 GHz Intel Core i5, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 M 4096 MB, OS X 10.11.4

    • Nothing other than the keyboard and mouse attached via the USB ports, as well as the key USB of BCA. No other attached devices.
    • Reset memory NVRAM, SMC and ran more than once disk utility. No problem not reported.  Ran NVRAM reset before each attempt.
    • At ran EtreCheck report which seemed OK.
    • Verification of diagnosis ran who is childless.

    A detail I noticed after the merger by car there are now two Macintosh HD images when you use boot option. One previously. Are named "Macintosh HD" and "Macintosh HD2". I remember being Yosemite simultaneously in three, but which has been fixed in an update.

    In addition, it seems that no recovery partition. Cmd + R lance Internet recovery.

    Summary:

    Q1: Should it take 4 + hours to install Windows 10 via BCA?

    Q2: Al must ultimately be so slow when initially W10 desktop?

    Q3; What I do once I arrive at the office of W10 but it automatically updates the graphics driver as BC update is simply suspended for centuries and get a working driver to restart at least W10?

    Q4: is there a problem with the disk HARD the Drive of Fusion that is causing all this delay and slow install / boot? ON the clean install OS X 10.11.4 it is back to be fast as usual and all tests show things are OK but W10 goes on the part of the HARD drive. No way to verify this beyond diagnosis or Etrecheck?

    Q5: Y at - it no problem with the GPT / MBR that may be causing the delay etc. ?

    Q6: How can I use my existing WindowsImageBackup backup from the previous W10 with the BCA install usb drive or how to create a USB stick otherwise recovery disk with my other single Mac have W7?

    Q7: How can I install W8 as I once did on Yosemite, via el Capitan without a mistake to TPG on selection of disc?

    Details:

    Day 5. Attempt at 6.

    Partition Boot Camp delete and try again install via BCA. First question, is that when the startup it goes to a blank black screen. For a time nothing left. Reset then using alt to select windows training results in almost instantaneous startup of the BCA message created and the beginning of the installation.

    4 1/2 hours from start of Windows 10 initial signature window.

    Then the second question. One to reach the Boot Camp update Office tries to start and install the drivers. Allows you to "list files...". "stage then sits at the bar about 5% green for 1 to 2 hours and does nothing. All actions in the Office of the W10 takes ages.

    In the meantime, auto update of the W10 appears a message saying that the updated graphics drivers as one of the few messages or actions during this period. Looks like Nvidia install with the entire package of experience (unwanted) etc. and very probably not the correct gpu driver.

    Finally deciding to cancel the installation of BC by killing the Setup.exe process. Then copy Boot camp install files on the desktop. Lasts 30 minutes to copy. Run again and this time, although taking 15-20 minutes to download and install later with the success message.

    Check the graphic driver it shows a yellow exclamation mark, so the following Microsoft instructions I use the uninstall option via the device and then Manager (slowly) come on board to load and download the latest Nvidia driver on their site for the GTX 780 M for 64-bit W10 etc. The same thing that I had used previously. Slow with running the Nvidia Setup program again, but eventually it works only to say that he could not install as unrecognized graphics device...

    He ends up with Microsoft PnP driver so it's at least sufficient start and run it again BC of the figure updates as all other drivers have been installed. To restart, but I get an error of K-Mode that is most likely related to this driver graphic and not possible to start in the new W10 Boot Camp partition after 7 hours.

    I have a picture of W10 backup recovery (WindowsImageBackup) I've had in a few weeks, but it will not install bet for the installed W10. I try with the ACO created the USB windows but can't seem to get a way to get into recovery mode and to get the menu to install it. I don't have a way to create a USB W10 recovery key now because my other Mac has just installed W7.

    Finally I tried to count a reset of the Recovery boot up option but it seems that it will take longer to start.

    I also went to the recovery and selected Boot Mode safe, but it opens on an empty black window and he's here doing nothing.

    Looks like I'll have to restart on via BCA and reinstall and try and solve the problem of graphics in order to install driver updates from BC and restart to W10 and hope that with the drivers, it returns to the operation and the normal starting time. Then update the gpu driver.

    I used and installed Boot Camp several times with over the years including previously an upgrade of W8.1 > W10 I used for over 6 months without problem. I've never known these installation very long or ice once in Windows even for the initial start upward.

    For any help or suggestion would be appreciated, and this seemingly simple process has now expanded to five days.

    I'm ready to do a clean install of Windows 10 but the only thing that worried me are the drivers provided factory installed with my laptop, it was initially delivered with Windows 64 - bit of 8.1. I don't want to lose one that I have no idea how or where I'm going to do if I lose everything. If someone has a way to understand this help is very much appreciated.

    Kind regards.

    Hello Zarakkhan ;

    I read your post on the new install of drivers of Win10 and wanted to help.

    As to the first, the upgrade of active Win10 through something known as right digital, install some sense, when you perform an upgrade on the spot on an existing Win7/8/8.1, upgrade reuses the existing product key for activation.  After you confirm that the machine is turned on, you can THEN do a clean install on the same machine.  IF you do a clean install without activating the first, you will not activate your copy of Win10.

    That said, MS released earlier to a new update to Win10 and (allegedly), you should be able to do a clean install with NEW media made from multimedia authoring tool and have it activate using your product key of Win8.1.  But, I haven't read anyone done this yet, is just a rumor at this point.

    As for save the drivers, there's a product excellent freeware called Driver Backup.  After you download and install it, you can then save out all your current drivers on a USB key.  This will make reinstall them later a simple process. I know it works because I use this product myself.

    Good luck

  • Pavilion 14 G6S71UA #ABA: I'll always be able to use the pre-loaded software HP products if I do a clean install of Windows 10?

    I have a laptop 14 flag that came with Windows 8.1 - 64 Home, and I have upgraded to Windows Home 10-64. The upgrade went very wrong, but I would use Win 10 if possible. Microsoft recommends that I have to do a clean install of Windows 10, which will require you to reinstall all my programs MANY. They cannot tell me, however, if I'll still be able to use some of the applications delivered HP pre-loaded on my machine and that I find very useful - even if I am out of warranty. For example, I use HP Support Assistant updates the driver, and I found that HP DriveGuard works really well!

    I'll always be able to download all of these products and hence? I'll be able to get them on the page of the drivers for my laptop? If I can't, I'll probably have to settle for return to Windows 8.1.

    Thank you.

    Because the rep on the Microsoft forum did not answer my questions, today I called the support of Microsoft Windows 10 phone number. After that the rep is lost another hour of time my (and their) me browsing to enter SafeMode via several methods, everything I told him that I had already tried. the representative suggested that customizations of account that I had applied could be the cause of the distress.

    She also informed me that, for security reasons, Windows 10 no longer allows connectivity Mode Wireless safe; Although, if your PC is physically connected to the modem/router, you should be able to enter in IE (and maybe even in Edge) in Safe Mode.

    So I added a new local administrator account (that said, I log in with a password and not with one account Microsoft.), to be used only for safe mode and left all its parameters to the default values for Microsoft. And it worked! When connected to my router, I could get in Mode safe mode with internet connectivity via IE! Thanks to this rep, I finally have success.

  • HP MIni 210-2145 DX: clean install of Windows 7, now I can't find the wireless drivers that work.

    I have a HP mini 210-2145 DX.  I recently had to do a clean install of Windows Ultimate edition.  Now, I can get a wireless connection because I can't find the right drivers on the HP site.  I tried 12 + drivers that I downloaded.  They all seem to be for 32 bits, and it's 64-bit.

    Can someone please help me find the right wireless drivers to install?  Thank you.

    Try this different file and see if it works automatically and installs the driver.

    File name: sp57965.exe

    There was also support for the hardware ID you have posted.

    I have no problem downloading the file, or by using 7 - zip to extract the exe file downloaded to a folder that you can browse from the network controller to install the drivers.

    Unfortunately, I can't help you with the problem if the new file does not work.

  • HP ENVY x 360 Convertible: unable to do a clean install of Windows 7 on a HP Envy x 360 (win 10 preinstalled)

    Hello

    I recently bought a HP Envy X 360 laptop for work. The laptop comes with Windows preinstalled 10.

    I'm doing a clean install of Windows 7 and during the installation, I get an error message "A required CD/DVD drive driver is missing. If you have a drive floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now.

    Novel if the Windows installation media is in the Cd/DVD drive, you can remove safely for this step"

    I'm doing the installation via a USB key. The laptop has 3 USB ports and I believe these are all 3.0

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Extract the drivers to packages

    create directories

    c:\Drivers

    c:\drivers\glb

    c:\Drivers\x86

    c:\Drivers\x64

    c:\temp\mount

    c:\temp\DVD_Files

    -the first is for the x 86 and x 64 so I put them in a directory c:\drivers\glb

    -l' other contains x 86 vs x 64-put-the separate directories in separate directories.

    c:\Drivers\x86

    c:\Drivers\x64

    (1) copy the ISO files from the DVD to install Windows 7 in a directory - c:\temp\dvd_files

    (2) mount the boot.wim file

    -dism/mount-WIM /wimfile:c:\temp\dvd_files\sources\boot.wim / index: 1 /mountdir:C:\temp\mount

    DISM / image: C:\temp\mount / Add-Driver driver:c:\drivers\glb

    DISM image:C:\temp\mount / Add-Driver driver:c:\drivers\x64 (or x 86 if the picture is for a 32-bit install

    DISM /mountdir:c:\temp\mount unmount unmount

    (3) mount the install.wim file

    -you know what image to update because the install.wim file contains all the images (except Enterprise).  If installing 64-bit Home Premium - that would be index 2

    -dism/mount-WIM /wimfile:c:\temp\dvd_files\sources\install.wim / index: 2 /mountdir:C:\temp\mount

    DISM / image: C:\temp\mount / Add-Driver driver:c:\drivers\glb

    DISM image:C:\temp\mount / Add-Driver driver:c:\drivers\x64 (or x 86 if the picture is for a 32-bit install

    DISM /mountdir:c:\temp\mount unmount unmount

    Copy your files to USB and everything should be good.

    Bryan

    I forgot something.  The boot.wim file has two images.  So after step 2, you must do exactly the same thing again but on index 2 like this:

    mount the boot.wim file

    -dism/mount-WIM /wimfile:c:\temp\dvd_files\sources\boot.wim / index: 2 /mountdir:C:\temp\mount

    DISM / image: C:\temp\mount / Add-Driver driver:c:\drivers\glb

    DISM image:C:\temp\mount / Add-Driver driver:c:\drivers\x64 (or x 86 if the picture is for a 32-bit install

    DISM /mountdir:c:\temp\mount unmount unmount
