Custom installation of Windows 7 Pro takes too long

Well, last night I was installing Windows 10, where first steps easily on the past, as in 30 minutes the computer rebooted and reached the point of preparation, with pimples circling above the line. But in the meantime Windows to boot completely, thinking that it won't be more than a few minutes, leave the laptop on battery, I fell asleep, as I was so tired. I woke up this morning to find the computer turned off. I started it. Dotted circles appeared and after some time the dialog box, to show something like "computer is suddenly off, so that Windows cannot continue the installation.

No problem, I thought, however feel bad.

  • I restarted the facility, the same box appeared.
  • I took the car and formatted the 469 GB primary partition, formatted the partition, MBR, revived the installation, the installation process ran more slowly than ever, everything as it was when I tried to install Windows 7.
  • I took out the disc and deleted all the partitions by using the Partition Wizard, revived the installation, the same. horribly slow. Now more than an hour has passed, and he exceeded not copy files.

I try to keep my wits about me, as I wonder whatever happens, whatever the change, happens to the configuration of the hard disk!

I would really appreciate if someone told me exactly how to prepare a hard drive for the custom, clean installation of Windows?

  • Here, I created a partition MBR before or during installation?
  • If Yes, then what is the size? (I think that 100 MB is standard)
  • If so, then in NTFS or FAT32?

I can't really understand why the installation process changes the way it works.

Is it possible that the information are rewritten on the installation media to cause this?

I'm asking questions, but I am open to any suggestions!

Thank you

You confuse the Master Boot Record (MBR): https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc976786.aspx

with a score, they are not the same.

A new fresh out of the box has no MBR and no partitions. Connect it to your computer as a second drive and you will be prompted to 'Initialize' the reader. Initialization creates the Master Boot Record (but not partitions). When you install Windows partitions (C: Windows and system partitions are created). The system partition is for Windows 7 150 MB (very small partition that contains data for Startup Configuration that needs to load Windows), the Windows C: partition occupies the space remaining on your hard drive. The exceptions are HP, Dell factory installed systems, Etc. which additional scores.

So if you want to start again simply remove all the partitions that Windows created 10, the Master boot Record (MBR) will remain in the tack room.

  • Windows 7 backup takes too long and is too big

    I tried to use backup several times now, but keep frustrated with the time it takes and the size of the backup that results.  It took exactly 13 hours and 3 minutes to save 640 Gig internal drive my laptop on my external drive freshly formatted 1 Terra.  Internal drive has only 274 used Gig, but the backup is 405 Gig; about 150% of the source! Why backup taking so long?  How can the backup be much wider than the original?

    The backup being larger than the source, in my case anyway, the reason is that by default Windows Backup backs up "Files in libraries and folders for all users" and it also makes a full system image - so my user data is backed up twice.

  • New installation on windows 7 pro 64-bit sees not connected wired Officejet 6500 E710a-f

    Hello!

    New installation of Windows 7 Pro 64 bit on a gigahertz 3.40 AMD Phenom II X 4 965 with 8 GB of ram. Printer drivers worked on the same bench while he was running as Windows 7 Pro 32-bit.
    After only install FF, AVG, and Acrobat (almost a clean install), downloaded the software HP Officejet full feature and pilot 2012-10-22, Version: 116,98, 28.8 M - OJ6500_E710n - z_1315.exe and tried to install the Officejet 6500 E710a f.

    The printer has a manually set static IP and can be ping from the host. Clean Windows Firewall is disabled and stopped.

    The web interface using the IP address of the printer comes with all the features works on FF.
    Network status shows connected with IP address, hostname and Mac.

    However, when installing the network audit is no ethernet connection. Even manually enter his public static IP address or hostname does not solve the problem.

    Try the USB, the same question option. I see in Device Manager under other devices HPOfficejet 6500 and 6500 HPOfficejet - Fax with a blue questionmark.
    (In the same "other devices" there are 2 Officejet 6500 with a yellow exclamation point - probably from failed network installation).

    In the printers and devices window, the 6500 is displayed with the correct thumbnail, but with a yellow exclamation point icon. Law and by selecting the convenience store, Windows comes up with the message that no driver is installed and offers a solution.  The correction ends with the error that no drivers not found for the FAX. Re-apply the patch never finds the driver.

    Anyone who has met something similar (and a solution)?

    Thanks for any help!

    Jack

    After trying to do an install clean-install of 100% and once again, the driver software could not find the printer name or IP address.
    Back at each stage, I noticed that I was not using the correct driver! For some reason I D/L the pilot E710n which is for HP Officejet 6500 a Plus e-All-in-One.
    Whatever the difference, when installing the E710n for the model does not detect the printer, or via USB or Ethernet.
    After you download the right driver for the E710a - f HP Officejet 6500 a e-All-in-One Printer (OJ6500_E710a - f_1315.exe) installation perfectly finished in a few minutes and everything goes well...

    You would think, base or USB connectivity network should not be dependent on the specific differences sub-model. I was expecting that a bad driver interrogate the device after finding its IP address and display an error message with useful text.

    @Ganga,

    No worries, I would like you to try a clean boot. This allows the computer to boot without unnecessary programs or offers to start with it.  When you open this document of croll to the section "How to perform a clean boot" once listed there to expand the section for your operating system to get the appropriate instructions.

    Once you have made the appropriate changes, restart the computer at least 3 times and see if you notice a difference not how long it takes to start.
