Difficult to re - install Windows on my Acer computer.

original title: installation PROBLEM

I have a laptop Acer Aspire 5044 WLMI.  I had to replace (no backup of the OS) HARD drive.  I replaced it with a 120 GB HDD WD Caviar blue. I don't have a boot Acer drive, there was no disc with the laptop when I bought it. I tried to install XP and it goes through an initial process of loading the drivers (I think).  The screen then goes to a black screen that says "STARTING WINDOWS", but there is no visible activity and it remains like that until I turn it off.  I let it sit for 8 hours once.  Acer no longer provides a recovery disc for this laptop.  I think it is perhaps a matter of hardware/software owner who cannot be resolved by Acer, but I thought I would ask this group in any case.  Someone at - it ideas?

Hi DJRM

 

How you proceeded to the installation of Windows XP on the computer (with CD or any other way)?

It is seems that the CD that you use to install some files missing or is damaged due to which installation is not complete.

I hope this helps.

    I didn't mean that you cannot run Windows 7. I have run on systems with 512 MB of ram. It will work, but will slip. It will be the same for Vista. I recommend that stick you with Xp until you are able to upgrade your ram.

    Windows XP instead of Vista.

    I would like to install Windows XP on my computer and get rid of the Vista operating system.  Can I do this?  I only have 512 MB of Ram and 32-bit processor.

    Hello

    There are a few things that you would have to do to install XP instead of Vista:

    1. contact the manufacturer of your computer and see if the XP drivers are available for your computer model to make sure that XP has worked properly in this regard.

    2. If the XP Drivers are available, buy a XP disk operating system / license. Try local computer repair shops because Microsoft sells more than XP and online sale buy you pirated copies can cause. Be very careful.

    3 XP runs with 512 MB of RAM, although a little slow by today's standards.

    4. do a clean install of XP. Make sure that all your data is backed up as the hard will be cleaned of everything during the Installation of XP.

  • I could install windows 8 on my computer hp Dv6-6070ee laptop

    I could install windows 8 on my computer hp Dv6-6070ee laptop

    Windows 8 is compatible for all the things in my computer hp Dv6-6070ee laptop

    Hello

    Thanks for posting again.

    I will now give you instructions how you can test whether Windows 8 will work for you.

    Before we begin, I want to say again that

    • Material to your computer allows you to install and run Windows 8.
    • However, I could not find drivers for your machine to Windows 8 and your model was not officially tested with Win 8HP.
    • Personally, I do not guarantee 100% compatibility with absolutely everything and everything works perfectly.
    • So it is for you to test it or not.
    • The procedure takes time.

    Before you begin:

    1. You must create a recovery HP (disks or USB) media - this can be used in case you want to recover your computer to factory default - instructions can be found here
    2. Very important - using Windows 7 built-in options and go to control panel-> system and security control, click on save to your computer. It opens his backup center and restoration. You will need a disk (CD/DVD) and do a Windows recovery disk. It can be used in the case where you have to reimage the machine and return to Windows 7. Instructions here.
    3. Yet once in the backup and Restore Center-> create a system image - this will make a copy of all your hard drive right now. This will help you restore in Windows 7 and the State of the machine (if Windows 8 does not work for you). Instructions on this subject can be found here. I recommend that you create this image on an external hard drive.
    4. Back up your most important files by using the Windows backup utilitity - instructions can be found here. Place them on an external hard drive.

    Once you are ready with the above steps, and if they have successfully completed, you are fully backed up and you can continue with the experience/test.

    Download the Advisor of Windows 8 upgrade from here and run it.

    It will scan your computer and if it is compatible and what needs to be changed before you move to Windows 8.

    Follow his instructions to fix what may need to be corrected. This could take some time.

    At this point, don't buy Windows 8.

    Check these instructions from HP on the upgrade to Windows 8 - Note that not all written inside is related to your case, but you can read to get an idea. Read the paths of upgrade of Windows 8 here.

    After that depending on your edition of Windows 7 current and according to your preferences, you must do a clean install of Windows 8 or to do an upgrade.

    You can download the free 90-day Windows 8 Enterprise Edition on Microsoft TechNet evalutional version - link.

    You will need to register using the Microsoft account - it will provide you with a license key and a downloadable ISO image of Windows 8 Enterprise. On your own drive you should burn this ISO (double-click it) to make the installation of Windows 8 disc.

    When the installation disc is ready, use to make clean install Windows 8 or update install. Look at all the instuctions I provided. After installation of Windows 8 upgrade, or own, you should try to run Windows Update to ensure that it is up-to-date. If a specific driver is required, you can try to install the Windows 7 version - download it from here. You can restore your personal files from Windows 7 upwards you created earlier.

    Experiment. If this works fine, you can later restore to Windows 7 image, then buy a proper version of Windows 8 and perform the upgrade on the spot or other clean install.

    If this does not work and you decide to go back to Windows 7, boot from the Windows system recovery disk (created before - look above at step 2) and use the option of image recovery system to reimage the machine and return to the State of Windows 7.

    Instructions on this subject can be found here and here

    Good luck and happy testing!

  • Cannot install Windows 7 on the computer

    Hi my name is Mauricio Osorio, recently, I tried to install Windows 7 on my computer, but it does not work, then I tried to re - install my Windows 8.1 license, but my computer has two drives, all first it's a ssd (Solid disc) and the other is sata, the most common of the disc type. My problem is: I don't know how to use this because it is so small (25 GB) ssd drive, but it is really fast, I tried to install Windows on it, but is so small and it does not work. What should I do?

    If as you indicate the SSD is small it almost certainly was not used as a disk operating system, but as a buffer high speed for the main SATA drive.

    The factory restore should recover the disks in the correct way before you tried to install Windows 7, you have created the.

    If you want to set this function yourself then how exactly depends on the chipset. With the driver Intel Smart Response Technology, you will need to install Windows on the SATA drive then in the driver control panel define the SSD as its buffer.

    Your computer may have a recovery partition which is accessible when you first start the computer (usually by typing the key F9 several times will begin the recovery process).

    This will reinstall Windows back to the point when you received everything first, therfore backup important data files (Documents, photos, music, etc.) on external before starting. Be prepaired to reinstall all the software can also be purchased and installed (rounding up of multimedia installation and product key codes).

    I had to install Windows 7 on my computer so I lost all my programs.  Adobe ExportPDF was one of them.  Should I buy a second time to put it back on the computer?

    ExportPDF is not "a program"; This is a subscription service that is used on Acrobat Reader.

    Download & install Acrobat Reader DC (older versions no longer work), and then sign in with your Adobe ID and ExportPDF will be once more at your disposal.

  • Install Windows 7 on acer aspire E1 - 571G

    Okay so I saw this posted a few times, but is performed a few months ago.

    My problem: bought a new laptop, the material of the love, hate the abomination called 'Windows 8 '.

    My first solution: install from an old boot win7 disk I found lying around my apartment. (can not complain too much about win7).

    NEW problem at hand:

    After you delete the partition of win8 (beginning to think that I would not do), boot from win7 installation disc, all dandy until we reach page "Where do you want to install Windows?" & it gives me an error:

    "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is the GPT partition style. »

    After a little research, I found that this has something to do with legacy mode bios (I changed it in a successful effort to turn off the secure boot), so I go into the bios & change for UEFI, try again: now install win7 is suspended from the page "starting Windows." Please, anyone with some advice.

    1. disable "Secure boot".

    2 - change UEFI to Legacy

    3 format the installation in NTFS partition

    4. install WIndows 7
