I installed windows 7 on my computer, it got a ways in the installation but then frozen, I rebooted the computer, but now, the only options it gives me is to restore the computer, or tried to fix the computer, ive tried both, but its hours for some reason any and then says it was unsuccessful and restarts

Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
Click Install now
Accept the license agreement
When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

You will receive the following warning:

The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

(At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

    My MacBook froze during the installation of the update at El Capitan and now I am unable to connect to any except the screen of the guest user. There was a message of panic, and somewhere in there, he said no set of OS. I tried to start without danger, it does not work either.

    Or you can try and see on the repair of the system and then if your disk utility can

    See the Macintosh HD, as a boot volume, you could restart from OS X Recovery to

    the Mac system, to see if this solves the problem. There may be more than one cause.

    You could try and boot into OS X Recovery, utilities out there, and other options are available.

    • OS X: on OS X Recovery - Apple Support

    This example uses a special partition on the hard drive of recovery which is not in the

    same disc that the Mac OS X section; However if your hard drive is missing, these other

    items may also be at risk. You must have and maintain backups of your duplicate content

    on the external storage drives closed; In addition, a Time Machine backup helps to restore.

    Don't know what to say; you could see visiting an Apple store with genius if

    There is an official store. Usually for best time planning you would contact them for an appointment.

    Or if there is no official retail Apple Store with genius, the following suggestion would be to contact

  • Computer froze during the upgrade/installation of windows xp

    I have windows xp home edition on a Dell desktop computer. I had problems with the computer freezing and then lost the connection to the internet 3 days ago. So I decided to reinstall windows xp from cd. However, I have chosen upgrade, rather than new install (because it was the suggested method). Now my computer will not complete the upgrade but is frozen during the installation. It remains to 32 minutes until the end. I can't seem to start, can't control/alt/delete or whatever it is. If I unplug my computer and launch it then again once, it resumes where it left off. How can I break out of this loop and start over with a fresh install? Thank you.

    OK, it would have been better to have all the information on this machine in one place. I guess your question in the other post you made about activation is for the same computer? If this is correct, then the information I gave you in your previous post is not applicable.

    With Dell computers, using Dell reinstallation media, you don't need to enter a product key during installation and the operating system is already activated.

    If you use a different XP installation disc that was not provided by Dell, this is why you are experiencing activation problems. If you do not have a Dell brand installation CD, you will need to use a manufacturer OEM generic system disk and use the product key on the label of CA certificate on your computer. If you use a copy of XP retail, you would use the product key on the CD to copy the retail case. In the case of the generic OEM drive, it must be the same version of XP that came with your computer (Home/Pro/MCE).

    All that being said, your sound of questions as a material. Did you leave all devices attached during the repair facility? If so, this can also cause the problem. Unplug everything except (obviously) your mouse and your keyboard when doing an operating system install. You should ensure that the material is solid before attempting to install again.

    Understand that all your data will be lost. If you save before, try to start with Linux Livecd such as Knoppix and copy the files to an external hard drive. Then download a utility from drive to drive mftr site. or use a third-party (Acronis Disk Director, Knoppix gparted) start Disk Manager to delete partitions on your hard drive and format the drive.

    Now, do a clean install of Windows, preferably using a Dell XP installation CD. Install Dell drivers for all your hardware when you're done, restore data from backups. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • "D" created automatically during the installation of Win 7?

    Hello

    My wife has a Toshiba laptop, bought refurbished, with Win 7 Home Premium installed.

    Windows Explorer shows 2 partitions on the hard drive, "WINDOWS(C:))." "has the OS installed on it and"Data (D :) '. "has the necessary information, when used in conjunction with the recovery CD for system recovery.

    My question is:-the 'D:' partition created automatically when installed Win 7 on a blank disk, formatted, hard or when you perform a "clean" installation to upgrade XP. The high '\HDDRecovery Data (d :))' folder on the partition "Data (D :)". ', (can't get 'D:' through Explorer properties) on the laptop my wife watch as being slightly more than 6.5 GB.

    If this partition is not created automatically that I can programmatically create it before the installation owner, but if I do, what size does?
    If it's better that Win 7 'sees' a single partition, I can easily do that.

    This situation "C:", "D:" suits me very well because I currently just on my XP Pro x 64 system drive. A historic agreement dating from when I used a dual-boot put in place. When I spread the secondary boot option I put in place a small drive "D:" so that my 'work' partition, first on my second hard disk (3) has been kept as "E:", several shortcuts pointing to the location. I didn't want to trawl through the system to change things to E: to something else. Guess I'm just a bit lazy!

    So, in short, "D:", create or not create?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Tony Norton

    D: is normally assigned automatically to your recovery drive or optical drive. The size of the recovery partition is normally determined by the manufacturer of the computer, and it can be based on a number of factors such as the WIM image to reinstall Windows 7 in addition to packaged applications, drivers, and utilities. Sizes may vary from 10 to 20 GB. Some may if distributed on several partitions recovery.

  • Satellite Pro A10 hangs during the installation of Win XP

    Hi guys,.

    just thouth I would ask why my new laptop will not install XP.
    Only, it crashes during installation. No n' achete purchased on this occasion, had no operating system installed.

    I wonder if it's a driver problem, using my xp disc I bought, but like I said that just, it will hang during installation.
    What I need to intergrate drivers somehow?
    I'm guessing that this is the problem?

    If so, how do I?

    see you soon

    I really wonder that your new laptop is probably produced about 5 years ago. ;)

    In any case, to install WXP use WindowsXP SP1 installations CD (factory settings). If you want to discuss a little more please explain to us what exactly is happening.

    Hello

    When I try to install Windows XP, it displays this screen on my laptop:

    http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/5498/img0159ni.th.jpg

    Greetings

    Hello

    I think that the BSOD appears because the Win XP cannot find the HARD drive due to lack of SATA driver.

    There are two solutions;

    (1) you need to add a SATA driver for Win XP (done SATA driver is part of the Intel Storage Manager)

    (2) or you need to set the Compatibility Mode AHCI SATA mode. This allows you to install the Win XP without the SATA drivers.
