• Clean install of Windows 7: where to find the Dell Foundation Services?

  I'm doing a clean reinstall of Windows 7 on my new XPS-8700.  I downloaded the drivers and the software that is listed for my service on the Dell drivers & download site tag.

  But there are a few "Dell" items listed in my Start Menu > programs that I have not found on the Dell website.  I'm not sure of their purpose, my need for them, where to find download or how to reinstall them after my new installation of windows.

• Satellite P305-S8820 - FN key not working after a clean install of Windows 7

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite P305-S8820. I recently did a clean install of Windows 7. I loaded the value Toshiba driver pack and the trackpad driver but still cannot get the trackpad or press FN to work.

  Any ideas?

  Hi taxwiz,.

  I think that the forum already contains hundreds of discussions about this so why you n t use the forum search?

  Anyway, you need the latest version of Toshiba Value added Package and utility Support Flash Cards.
  Try to also restart Toshiba Flash Cards (start > all programs > Toshiba) and repeatedly press the FN keys.

• 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.

• A clean install of Windows 7 x 64 takes forever to search for updates

  Don't know why, but the update takes forever to search on a clean install of windows. I made a lot of clean installations of Windows 7 before, but never had a problem with the receipt of the updates. But this time, it just doesn't go as far in receiving updates.

  I don't have any firewall or antivirus programs installed on this system. Just new installation of windows 7. Tried the pro versions and at the same time with the same result.

  Generally updates for Windows 7 can take more than 24 hours to get the list of those available.

• Clean install of Windows 8 on ENVY 4-1195

  Hello

  I buy a FANCY 4-1195 with Win8 preinstalled on it. I need to clean install Win8 Enterprise on it for power to reach the company network.

  I boot from the CD, goto custom Setup to do a clean install of Windows on the new PC, but when I get to install Windows I get this error message:

  We have found all the disks. For a storage driver, click on load a driver.

  When I click on

  I get the message:

  No signed device not found driver. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers...

  When I try to browser only see us D (DVD) drive and drive X: (Boot) and no C: drive.

  Thanks for your help

  The system uses something of a RAID configuration, because it doesn't have an Intel RST and a Smart Connect pilot.

  The problem is that I don't have access to a copy non - OEM Windows 8 to test the manual installation of the driver Intel RST or Smart Connect method.

  What is a stock Enterprise of Windows 8 version or a custom image for the company?  If it is a stock Enterprise installation, then the Windows Anytime Upgrade would be an option provided the OEM copy is always available and you know what is the product key.

  However, you can try to extract the contents of the package driver to a USB flash drive and try to manually install one of the drivers (RST or Smart Connect) to see if it makes the configuration of disk HARD visible during the installation process.

  Intel driver for fast ignition

  Intel Smart Connect driver technology

  7-zip

  1. install and open 7-zip.

  2 in 7 - zip, access both downloaded drivers linked above in the post.

  3. right click on each one and choose 7-zip > Archive open.

  4. extract the contents of each driver on an external USB drive.

  5. When you arrive at the selection of blank disc screen during installation of Windows 8, select the option to load drivers.

  6. go to the file Intel RST pilot which was extracted, select drivers and appropriate architecture (x 86 for 32-bit, x 64 for 64-bit).

  7. This can be a process of elimination.  Try each driver (in RST and Smart Connect) until you find one that works.

  8. when the appropriate driver has been installed, then the HARD drive should be visible.

  Let me know what happens.

• Recovery Manager HP dv7-1130el after a clean install of windows 7

  I'll do a clean install of windows 7 32 bit from Vista Home premium 32-bit.

  I would like to know if the Recovery Manager will continue to work, or might have a problem.

  I found on the page of the HP software for windows 7 two patches for update Recovery Manager:

  sp45823.exe who makes an upgrade (but not a clean install) and update generic sp44455.exe.

  This second patch help me avoid problems later with Rec.Man when I do the clean install?

  How should I do?

  Could someone tell me a Board.

  Thanks in advance.

  Make your recovery Vista using Recovery Manager disk before installing 7. then it won't matter to have a functional recovery Manager since it is only to reinstall the original OS and programs. It has no function in windows 7 other than to go back to Vista, which can be done with your if necessary recovery discs.

• Can not access the updates after clean install of Windows 7 Pro

  I have formatted my hard drive digital, preformed a clean install of Windows 7 Pro. Everything went well and OS seems to be properly authenticated.

  The question is not able to 'find' updates.  At startup, the message: NEW UPDATES AVAILABLE. When I check the updates, the process runs "forever" and never completes the process. The problem would be to my use of Office 2003? I have installed for messaging and Outlook calendar.  Here's the MGADiag.exe diagnostic tests.

  You can reset the Windows Update components by running the Fixit on this page. But if there is malware present, she will continue to reset the connection to the update servers:

  How to reset the Windows Update components

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/971058

  Suggest you download and save the Fixit. Then configure the system before the clean boot by running:

  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista/Windows 7

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Once the Fixit has been downloaded and the system is started in the pure State, check that the native Windows Firewall is now on if a 3rd party firewall has been used previously. Now run the Fixit and choose the default mode. Restart once it's done and see if the system can be connected to the update servers. If he can't, then rerun the Fixit and choose aggressive mode. Turn it back on when he finished the race and updates.

  I suggest before you stop and install the updates, disconnect from the Internet, first.

  I also recommend that download you and install Service Pack 3 for Office 2003, then look for updates in the Help menu.

• 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:

  http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/software-OS/f/3524/t/19480753.aspx

  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:

  http://www.IdeaStorm.com/idea2ReadIdea?v=1359724583158&ID=087700000008luMAAQ

  http://www.IdeaStorm.com/idea2ReadIdea?v=1359724583158&ID=087700000008YVXAA2

  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:

  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.

• Can I do a clean install of Windows 8 (without the DELL OEM software)?

  Hi people,

  I just bought a DELL Inspiron 17R laptop computer which came with Windows 8. I want to install an aftermarket SSD and do a clean install of Windows 8 on the SSD without all the stuff extra DELL piles on the computer in their factory. However, the laptop does not come with any media of Windows 8. My other options (copy windows divide in the SSD or use Windows backup and restore), both result in installing Windows 8 with a lot of software DELL.

  DELL said that they do not have the installation of Windows 8 media and I need to contact Microsoft to get it. Any ideas on how I can go about this? I'm happy to pay a nominal fee for the discs, but having already an OEM of Windows 8 installation, I want to avoid going to the shops and buy a new license.

  Any ideas are much appreciated.

  Kind regards

  Chris

  Unfortunately, your only option is to create a disk backup and restore using recovery tools provided by Dell and use it to reinstall Windows 8. This is especially true because you run Windows 8, which are not available elsewhere.

  or

  SSD of cloning:

  You can clone the installation for the SSD, provided that the SSD is large enough to accommodate the installation to be cloned.

  See

  http://www.ssdfreaks.com/content/664/how-to-clone-HDD-to-SSD-with-Windows-7s-own-software or (easier) use a copy of the trial of Acronis True Image Home.

  Note that, immediately after cloning, you must stop and unplug the original installation. The disc can be reconnected once the DSS started successfully.

• error message iTunes displays locked drive, itl locked files, or do not have administrative privileges on the PC after a clean install of Windows 10

  Yesterday I did a clean install of Windows 10 on my PC with a backup of the hard disk external. I downloaded iTunes, but get an error message that the drive is locked, the .itl files are locked, or I don't have administrative rights to these files. I deleted and reinstalled the PCI DSS several times correctly in the PCI slot hoping that would be a solution, but to no avail. I am the only user on this computer and do not have administrative rights. Any help you can offer will be appreciated. Thank you
