Clean install Win XP

Location:
I have a Sony VGC - 830G provided with Windows XP3 OEM preinstalled. (IOW about 6 years). I have 2 hard drives (150 GB each) set up in RAID 0 with four other partition D (media), E (images created by Paragon), F (games), G (various programs). There is a hidden partition somewhere containing system restore stuff. I have the cd of Win XP with integrated SP3 I want to clean install instead of use the restore cd that I created when I bought the pc.

Issues related to the:
1. If I clean install Win XP, this will affect only the drive when I installed it in C?
2. I still can access other partitions if I reinstall partition magic and paragon drive backup programs?
3 will be I could reuse the restore cd original return to the bloated OEM system that came with the pc?

Sincerely, I appreciate all the comments and help that you could provide.

1 Yes

2 NO.

3. Yes

  • Satellite L300 - clean install Win 7 SP1 64 bit

    I just did a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit, replacing the normal 32-bit Vista that comes with the laptop.

    The facility has been good, but I have a few questions about the following:

    I adjusted the automatic run settings to ask every time for all selections. The problem is that when the game DVD in WMP or VLC disk reads but is noisy. It is very good for the s CD without excessive noise. The acoustic silencer on the download site is for 32-bit, but can be used in this laptop. In the original Vista there is no noise at all, so I wonder if there is other parameters that can sort this point, otherwise I'll have to keep changing things manually with the acoustic silencer.

    I noticed a very low noise coming from laptop (like a lighter version of a business when you're boarding Jet it). I ran a video memory Stress Test CE and he showed a few errors. If I reduce the brightness of the screen there is less noise so I wonder if it's something to do with the Panel of inverter of screen I'm sure that's not the HARD drive or the cooling fan, but it could be something on the motherboard.

    On the backup plan Acronis will slow down my system or are Win 7 OK backup options?

    Thanks a lot for all the possible solutions to these problems.

    A long time ago I've installed Win7 32 bit on friends Satellite L300. It worked perfectly. Much better than original Vista.
    > I still don't know what is the best test for the screen.
    I put t understand what kind of test do you mean. I hope that you have installed the right display driver and LCD works perfectly with a native resolution.

    Win7 recovery with Acronis image creation is, generally, the right decision. With this disc, you can install Win7 again and again very rapidly and you should not install every single driver separately.

    If you want to keep this laptop any longer I think it is worth to buy it. One last thing: you will buy it once and you can use it in the future too if you decide to buy the new laptop or PC.

  • How can I clean install Win 7 Pro on a series of 330 intel SSD using a Sony Vaio laptop as the source. I have the original disc and the authorization only

    My Office HARD drive had a fatal accident and poster now under vacuum. It was a disk of 1 TB with Win 7 Pro upgrade to Win 8 Pro.I have records of origin 32 and 64 bit OS and wish to install the OS on a SSD using the optical drive on my Sony Vaio, which will become then the boot drive in my office.

    [Moved from comments]

    You must do the installation on the desktop. You can not install windows on the disk into a computer and then move the disk to another computer and do work. When installation is complete, it reads information from the BIOS of the computer, on which it is installed and when you put the disc in another computer that Windows does not find the information used during the installation.

    You will need to put the new drive in the desktop, install Windows 7 on it, then upgrade to Windows 7 to Windows 8 again.

  • HP ENVY 6-1030ec: Win7 clean instalation

    Hello.

    I have HP ENVY 6-1030ec with a 500GB HDD and SSD standard as an additional cache 32 GB. I wanted to clean install Win 7 on it, but was unable to do so.

    First of all, I couldn't readers to the place where I have to choose on what Windows installation disc. I then completely formatted the disk HARD 500 GB, and stupidly enough even the recovery partitions. It did not help.

    I did some google search and found http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-System-and-Recovery/Clean-install-Win-7-hybrid-hdd/t.... I downloaded the drivers, but it didn't work. First of all, it depends in what USB slot is my bootable USB key. A location, I don't see another USB with the drivers on this subject. If I pass the USBs and start installing, it ignores the part where I can choose the drive to install Win 7 in and goes straight to the part where I should load the drivers. In this case, I am able to see the other USB key, find some drivers on it, but having tried to install those, he's said something on this subject there are no new features.

    Then I tried to install Win 7 on the hard disk on another computer. It worked fine and I used Sysprep - EHC and hope that this will solve the problem. I did and it has not solved the problem. After a few questions, I am in the State Win 7 install, reboots and before the part where I chose the username, etc. I get the error "installing Windows could not configure Windows on hardware on this computer." I googled a https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2466753 solution, but it did not work. First, I tried the drivers (again), and then I turned off RAID. Now, when installing Win 7, I see not only on the HARD drive, but also on the SSD. However, I still get the same error.

    I googled some more and found http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/61328-63-widows-setup-configure-windows-computer-hardware. I tried the msoobe part a, but when I run it, it says the program is not compatible with the current version of Windows and that I should check for x 64 or x 86 system.

    I also tried to install Win on another HARD drive. This time I still, even had to choose the user name in Windows, set time zone, put in the product key, but then I get the error "failed to initialize the connection process. Interactive Logon Process initialization has failed. Please see the the event log for more details". I tried Googling, but is a few tips for when this occurs after Windows worked normally.

    I did Setup Win 7 as many times, but it never occurred to me. I'm really confused right now and you'd be grateful for any help.

    Hello.

    I tried the tests at some point earlier, all passed without problem. The other link you suggest the links just to this question.

    Anyway, I solved it by installing Windows 10 directly.

  • Pure install Win Vista x 86 HP KB2079403, KB2479943, KB2536275 (fail 0x800B0100) and KB2536275 (not 0x8007065E)

    Clean instal Win Vista x 86 HP on new SSD now in SP2. The material is a Medion Q6600 on mother MSI7366 and NVidia GeForce 9300GS map.

    Will not install KB2079403, KB2479943, KB2536275 (fail 0x800B0100) or KB2536275 (not 0x8007065E).  Suggestions how to proceed?

    I tried each individually - how know one gives what error.

    Run Update Readiness Tool and it says everything is OK. You run MS Baseline Security analyze and downloaded packages individual but can not understand the correct syntax to invoke manually by hand using pkgmgr. I'm stuck with a new installation of Vista precarious missing 4 critical fixes :(

    I could go back and start from scratch, but I think I'll finish exactly in the same place again. Have also tried AV scans of bootable CD made on another system of trust and found no evidence of malicious software with three different products.

    Is it possible to get the best diagnosis of update of windows beyond "failed with unknown cryptic error."

    Any ideas what these patches have in common, which causes them to fail on my kit?

    Thank you

    Martin Brown

    Thank you very much! These well made the case.

    I had not had as much as to put on an AV so that it was not to blame. I have no idea why Windows Update had taken against these specific fixes - they work OK on the hard drive.

    They all performed successfully, according to the newspaper.  But I came to be stuck with a 'respect' in the automatic mode of updates for the last KB2536275 tag applied. He thinks that the patch should always be applied (and running it still does not work).

    Correction - it takes the system a heck of a lot of time to notice that the patch is applied and removed from the list (at least 2 reboots and the time it took me to write this letter) to do. Now, everything is good on the SSD and a nice green checkmark shows that there are no outstanding update!

    Thanks again it was exactly what I need.

    BTW How did you find these .msu files? When I went before all I could find were cryptic and opaque. CAB files with names absolutely inpenetrable, my question at the beginning was to know how to apply them as pkgmgr syntax is not really obvious from the help page.

    They are much more user friendly they are autonomous and run after the download.

  • Installation clean P580 Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit - cannot install driver Intel WiFi correctly

    Driver installation went well after a clean install. I was not aware of any special settings or any need to install some drivers in the order. So maybe I did not just something.

    I noticed that there was no WiFi service. I have downloaded and run the file 0zwl03ww.exe, which is listed as driver WiFi Intel for Win 7 32/64. I got a message saying that something could have trouble with the installation. So I chose rerun. Asked me if I wanted to replace an existing file. I said "Yes to all". The result was a message saying "access denied." Later, there was still no WiFi and no WiFi service pilot shown in Device Manager.

    I restarted the PC, hoping it would help. Still no WiFi and no shown in Device Manager.

    I looked at the folder C:\Drivers containing the driver files and subdirectories. I removed those and tried to delete the folder. I didn't have the right to do. I checked the security settings on the folder and showed a red X with a message saying that the security settings are not available.

    When I try to reinstall the driver, I get the same results reported (files to be replaced), but no files are displayed in Windows Explorer in this folder.

    I tried to restore the original file to the Recycle Bin. Restoration happened, but now the files are gone.

    There is another pilot provided for Liteon & CyberTan; This doesn't seem to be the right driver.

    If the PC is running, LAN, internet cable OK - but I'm stuck with no WiFi. Can anyone help? Thank you!

    I found and ran a setup.exe for Win7 inside the extracted folder. I went through the typical installation of choice routine and told me "The Intel ProSet Wireless WLAN software Setup Wizard ended prematurely" with no further explanation given.

    I try to put my fully functional level but slow Acer 5515 to use for video capture (use of astronomy)

    I bought a WD 320 GB Black HD that has been initialized, partitioned, formatted, & using the MBR & NTFS option.

    When you attempt to load Win XP laptop an error indicating that, if a new disc or disk drivers have been installed to remove and search for errors or viruses. The player is reported by tools like healthy WD drive and go the SMART controls on my desktop system. The drive is reported when the BIOS loading but does not seem to work after that. Is this a common problem? are there tricks to get the loaded operating system?

    I tried to load win Vista and only got a little further until the system locked up during the completion of the installation, this has happened 3 times.

    The solution to my problem was a hammer book ten...

    Seriously if I had to put the SATA IDE mode, native AHCI vice (tip published in one of the many how to load XP threads) place after everything went well.

    I have now a CLEAN install on a HARD drive bigger, more fast and none of the indigestion of plant to slow down the system.

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

    So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

    Shortly after, my laptop broke and I got a new laptop through my insurance company which had Win 7 pre installed. I just got a new desktop PC and was wondering if I could use my Win 7 Upgrade disk to do a clean install on my desktop that my old laptop has now been destroyed. ?
