• Problem with installing Windows on a hard drive, HARD drive does not get detected after installation

  Original title: help with hard drive of the computer.

  Flow of the problem:

  My aunt tried to install windows 7 on the previous copy of windows 8. Needless to say that it doesn't work and it has messed up the hard drive. So, I bought a vacuum. I formatted the hard drive using my other windows computer to have 2 partitions: a boot partition and system partition, and then used the program WinToUSB to install windows on the hard disk. The reason I did it is, because no matter how many times I changed the BIOS in my laptop of aunts, it wouldn't boot from the DVD player to load the windows software. After a few hours, I found WinToUSB. Once windows has been installed, I plugged it into the laptop. For a few hours, I didn't know what to do, because the computer does not recognize the hard drive (he said: "Not detected"). I decided to start from legacy, and then the screen deals

  «intell...» »

  and a bunch of dates, etc all the stuff on the screen to load legacy if you know what I mean.

  He said "not plugged in the media. Check the power cord.

  Then quickly changed screen before I can read almost anything and it goes to the normal windows screen black (with 4 colors). I said to myself, how can he be loading if the hard drive is not detected... Once it is loaded, he brought me to the blue screen (blue screen of death, if you want) I turned the computer on again, always noticing the hard drive was not detected. I ran all the recovery/repair options I could and turned off the laptop. I came back a few hours ago and I loaded the computer again and went into the BIOS.  He said that the hard drive has been detected and said the news about this, as usual. However, at the start of the legacy of windows loading screen, it said still not detected.  I then started to windows to see since it is now detected if that fixes the blue screen. Yet, there is no. I tried to go to the normal windows and screen remains blue. any ideas?

  Hello Chris,

  Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.

  According to the description, it seems that Windows was not properly installed on the hard drive. I'm not sure how to work the software from third-party manufacturers WinToUSB and reliable installation process is. Microsoft does not recommend using any third party tool to install Windows on your computer, the use of these third-party tools can cause serious damage to your computer.

  I would say to format the hard drive once more and try to install Windows through normal Windows installation process.

  Refer to the section "using the installation option custom if no operating system is installed" in the thread below.

  Installing and reinstalling Windows

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/installing-reinstalling-Windows#1TC=Windows-7

  If you are not able to install Windows on the hard drive at all, I suggest you to contact the hard drive manufacturer to obtain a diagnosis of material performed on the hard drive.

  Do not hesitate to write back for any further assistance with Windows, we will be happy to help you.

• When you try to re - install Windows XP, it does not detect the hard drive.

  Hi all. I tired to do a reinstall of Windows XP today. It seems to take a lot of time, and then I did a very stupid thing. I turned off the laptop that I had to go. Now when I try to start the laptop on the cd, I get as far the screen where I have to press on enter to install Windows XP pro on the system or press R to repair. The problem is that there is now no facilities to choose from in the box below and the system is not recognizing the hard drive. I can't even as much as the screen to format the drive. When I press ENTER to install windows xp, then I get a blue screen telling me that the system shuts down to protect my pc. Is anyone able to tell me what to do to solve this problem please. Thank you very much in advance for your help. Noel

  original title: I did a stupid thing... Windows XP Pro

  Sounds like a hard drive problem then. Your drive is maybe defective. First of all, you can use the partition of diagnostic Dell (F12) for its determination.

  In case there is a SATA problem, press F2 to enter the BIOS and change the setting of hard disk SATA to legacy. (Might as well try this first.)

• Wipe the HD, do clean install Windows 7 - cannot detect HD during installation

  Hello

  So basically I have Toshiba Satellite L305-s5908 and I wiped the full HD (use to have Vista on the laptop), and yes I copied everything on a HD external backup.  My problem is when I'm clean installation of Windows 7, it gets to a point where it asks 'where to install Windows 7', and it does not show my HD.  Now I'm stuck.    What to do?  Here's what I tired...

  -J' looked for a driver for the HD, but Toshiba has not (at least I can't find it).  Other sites claim to have a 'pilot', but I'm afraid to download spyware or malicious software.

  -what I have to reformat my HD wiped & then install Windows 7?  If so, what are the steps?

  Any help to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

  Hi all

  I got my problem solved.

  With the help of another COMPUTER forum, I got my HD work and installation of Windows 7 made.  Long story short, I wiped my own HD (had Vista).  After the failure of it own, I discovered the 'C' was thought (via the command Diskpart) someone suggested I download and burn to a CD, a program called "GParted" (search with Bing).

  GParted is a free partition editor to graphically manage your disk partitions.

  With GParted you can resize, copy, and move partitions without data loss, so you can:

  • Grow or shrink your C: drive
  • Creating space for new operating systems
  • Attempt to rescue data from lost partitions

  After starting with GParted, he went to work. As my HD was clean it took 5 to 8 minutes to complete.  Once GParted has been done, I inserted the Windows 7 installation CD.  Finally when he got to the screen "where do you want to install Windows?" my HD showed.  Finally!   What a relief!   After an hour, my old laptop was completely installed Windows 7.   I'm so happy that this has been resolved.

• no pilot of the aircraft were found when trying to install windows 7 on a new construction

  It is a new construction: card mother Asus M4A87TD/USB3, Phenom X 4 965 processor he's, with 1 64 GB Soild State drive which is where Windows 7 Pro must be installed, Raid 2 500 GB SATA hard drives that I use, total 8 GB memory Dual Channel DDR-1600 and an ATI Radeon HD5830 1024 GDDR5 video card.

  I am now trying to install windows and I get an error message saying that no device drivers found when you try to install windows 7 pro, so I tried to put in the disc that came with the motherboard because that's what I found during my research on this subject and it won't read the disc. I also learned that I should use a USB however, I don't have a large enough to copy documents from the disk device drivers.

  Any input would be appreciated because I was a machine now for a week only to find what I wanted and then in construction and now this problem - please help

  Suggest you only begin by installing a configuration non-RAID first. Also since this is a new construction, you need to do some test equipment to verify that you don't have a hardware problem. Connect a SATA drive to a standard SATA connector rather than the RAID connector.

  Set of utilities to test for computer HARDWARE manufacturers:

  Note: If you are OverClocking or use any automatic overclocking BIOS features, Intel EIST or Turbo Mode (turn off).
  then back at the speed of stock as a starting point.

  Disconnect the other internal hard drives and external USB devices.

  First try running Memtest86 +:  It runs from a floppy disk or CD, you must remove or
  confirm whether your one or more of your sticks of memory are bad or the values of the SPD in the BIOS are correct.
  Let it run for as long as you can: 2,4,6,8 or several hours (at least 3 full passes), if no errors at that time then your ram is OK.

  With this many cross-browser issues, can you confirm that your system clock date, time, and time zone are all correct? SSL validity checks are time sensitive.

  If you see a globe, I think that you are unable to use an HTTPS address. Usually Firefox displays a padlock or a "!" icon in the shape of triangle on a HTTPS address depending on whether the certificate withdraws or has a problem.

  Is there a code in parentheses, separated by underscores in the error page? If so, could you copy and paste this code.

• HP Stream 13: How could I install Windows 10 on HP Stream 13 (32 GB SSD)

  I wanted to install windows on my Stream 13 (only 32 GB SSD) 10. With the recovery partition and windows plus 8.1 all updates, I was left with not enough space to install Windows 10.  After a few failures, I could do this job and this is how.

  My solution to the problem. This does not mean that an easier can turn up, but it's the only thing that worked for me.

  * Compleate a soft recovery to create under the proper name of a facility as posible

  * Install all updates

  * use the media creation tool to create a USB key for installation.

  https://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/Windows10

  * On another USB port, I created a copy of the system recovery (because my goal was to remove the recovery partition after installing windows 10 and save some much needed space)

  * Click on the installation program on the USB port of the media creation tool (won't start him this time and run a complete installation or windows will not recognize your key to 8.1). Follow the instructions for updating your pc.

  *Somewhere here they told me that I didn't have enough space on my computer but gave a possibility to select an additional disk or USB to compleate the upgrade. I used my microSD but had the ability to use a USB key as well.  Just plug one with enough space, refresh and select the one you want.

  * Once done I was running an enhanced version of windows 10. and everything was fine.

  Now, at this point my hardware was recognized for Windows 10 and I can reinstall everything that I want.

  * Personally at this point I didn't paertition of 8 recovery of windows 7 GB just sitting there.

  * I now ran the key USB made by the authoring tool of media to run a full clean install Windows 10. During this process, I was able to format the C: drive and but also the partition recovery (but not remove it yet) there are a lot of youtube videos on how to run this clean install with step by step help.

  * Once windows 10 was upward, I used DISKPART to delete the recovery partition and then went back in to disk management to extend the primary partition to fill the empty space on the SSD.  There are still a lot of great videos and messages on how to run disk management and DISKPART. Sounds rough but was very simple and very fast.

  * Finally ran all updates and followed a little HP guide on how to make sure you have all the correct drivers GP and go on a Clean install. near the bottom, you will see measures to be taken after the upgrade to windows 10

  * Now, DON'T WASTE this recovery USB you tool fact because that can always get back you to the factory settings.

  http://h20565.www2.HP.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?sp4ts.Oid=5071171 & docid = emr_na-c04734799 & docLocale...

  Sorry if this is not clear, but when I tried to make it work, I could nto find anything with the measures to be taken and I ended up having to use USB recovery system I did over and over again to start over.

  EDIT: I'm HP 13 Stream that came with 8.1 have things hard drive is not large enough to compleate the upgrade to windows 10. So I preformed a clean install to a USB port.  Now, I have 10 and it is not enabled.

  NOW, I've read that you MUSST preform the upgrade first, so that windows detects your hardware and list it as valis for windows free 10.   BUT given that the upgrade was not posible I have a key windows 8.1 which is useless since there is no service to change the key of a key of windows 10...   This is crazy. These laptops are in advertisd with the free upgrade to windows 10 but fail to be upgraded.  Don't know what to do now.

  I'm running a new touchscreen HP 13 stream with windows 8.1

  I want to upgrade to windows 10 before I got home (before that I have to install all kinds of software and files) Obciously the flow isn't enough SSD remains to perform the upgrade.  I created a new USB thumb drive installation but worry about its use.

  What I read the recovery partition which is not suppressible contains files that accesses the system. When I do a clean install, wipe the C drive (but not the partition) everything works? I will never lose the use of this space in the partition?

  and finally, I used a program access to my windows key since it is located in the bios, not on a label, but I would like to know if someone else did and it does automatically detect? or they have run any potential problems.  Sorry if this is posted elsewhere, but I don't find any information at all.

  EDIT!   I have a USB recovery that I can use if I have to for windows 8.1 I installed 10 from a USB Pendrive and it is another well workign now is say my KEY is invalid for this clean install. How to convert my 8.1 key a key that works for 10? I can't buy a new key from microsoft when the laptop was sold with an ad saying free updated for 10.   It is not posible to do an upgrade due to the space required for the upgrade to do its job. It is a real pain.

  Well, looks as if I found a solution to the problem. Posted all the above in an editing tool. Hope this helps someone

• How to install Windows 98 on of A60?

  I bought two A60 and want to have Windows XP and 98se on it. I formatted the hard drive (Fat32) and tried to install Windows 98se on it. Near the end of the installation, I get a blue screen with this fatal error: 0d: E000:000022 D 7. I tried a lot of things, but it won't work. What can I do to fix this?

  I need Windows 98se on laptops because I have the program Central phone software. No other software is available.

  Hello

  As far as I know that you have a problem if you try to install the OS old newest device. At the end of the installation process runs the detection equipment or process of recognition of hardware and motherboard, graphics card or sound card can cause problems and the blue screen.

  Alternatively, you can try to install your WIN98 application and use the Compatibility Wizard of the programs on your Windows XP Home edition. Please start Help and Support Center in your Windows XP Home edition. Search for term of compatibility mode and you will find an explanation how to test your program in different modes.

  You can also find it under hcp://system/compatctr/compatmode.htm.
