error when installing vista on a formatted hard drive

I try to install Vista Home premium on a formatted hard drive. After booting from the installation DVD, I get the following message.

Windows could not start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To solve the problem:
1. Insert your Windows installation disc and restart your computer.
2. choose your language settings, and then click "next".
3. click on "Repair your computer."
If you do not have the disk, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.

Use utility diagnostics by the hard drive manufacturer (usually available from the web page of the manufacturer of the hard drive) to perform a complete diagnosis and zeros (low-level format) on disk.

  • Get an IRQL error when reinstalling Vista on a formatted HARD drive.

    My (HP a1700n) office has been very slow, perhaps a virus. I ran Norton NIS and also had Norton disk utilities cleaner. Before that the Office stopped completely, I was able to shoot the important things (pictures, videos, etc) nothing else I could lose and wasted. I decided to start over and reinstall the Vista operating system, since I don't have the disk. Has gone so far as to choose the partition and after that he began to «analyze...» "it froze and gave me some kind of error that the partition not could not be found or something like that, well I deleted the partition with the recovery partition since I created a disc a new partition using all the available space, but now I get the not_les_than_ error message. I only go as far as to choose the partion and starts to analyze then the BSOD appears. I did not add anything other than a 1 GB of ram and I removed it, so now the computer only has the 1 GB it is came with, everything else is what came with when I bought it 2 years ago. I don't know if it's hardware related or I'm doing something wrong.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Eric

    If you get BSOD when installing, try the Vista repair Forum for advice and give them all the details of BSOD error.

  • Iso file of windows xp can directly be installed USB on a formatted hard drive?

    Iso file of windows xp can directly be installed USB on a formatted hard drive?

    Not directly.

    There is a SMALL chance that if your hardware supports it (unfortunately never say you anything on your PC or BIOS), you can boot from a USB stick or an optical drive and install Windows XP like this.
    But it is unlikely.
    In addition, tell us what you mean by 'windows xp iso file. This is very vague, and we do not know what you are talking about.
    Finally, if you want to ask questions here, really read the answers and recognize them in some way. Here is a link to your other thread:

  • Satellite L40: Can I use Toshiba DVD to install Vista on a new HARD drive

    Hi people,

    I'm new to this forum... I don't know that there, can someone advise me.
    I replace my Satellite L40 HDD with a bigger drive, the current is only 80Gig.

    And my question is, can I use my Toshiba recovery Disc to reinstall Vista on the new HARD drive, or is it a hidden partition on the original HARD drive?
    If someone has done this, would appreciate an idiots guide to doing the same thing.

    Cheerzzzzzzzzzzz...

    Dave

    Of course you can do it.
    The DVD of Vista recovery Toshiba help you install Vista, all the drivers Toshiba and tools, and it automatically creates all the partitions.

    So what you have to do is to boot from the recovery DVD and follow the instructions on-screen ;)

    Hello

    1. What is the brand and model of the external drive?

    2. do you update SP3 installed on the XP machine?

    3. have you made changes on the computer recently?

    Method 1.

    Step 1.

    Plug the USB device into another computer and check if the device works on this computer.

    Step 2.

    Plug another USB device and check if this device works on this computer.

    Step 3.

    You can connect the HDD on another USB port and check.

    Method 2.

    I suggest you follow the steps in this article.

  • Cannot install Vista on the new hard drive

    original title: Please help!

    I have a dell laptop inspiron 1720, not the newest I know but it surfs the web. At least it used to. I had some sort of virus or something and my hard drive kept bluescreening on me. I said, well I want to do this thing faster and have more space anyway. Out a ram 1 g got 4g, out went the 120gig and got a 250. Went to reinstall dell support stuff and it went well. Then had my vista disk and started to install. Expanded files ok and everything. You all the way to the install tab end and nothing happens? Don't know what else to do? Any help would be great.

    Turns out I'm only semi retarded. My friend told me since I have a new hard drive, I would probably need to first load the driver for it. Then I got to the part when you choose a car and chose to load drivers. Of course I had to change discs in the middle of install and load a driver for the new hard drive and everything went smoothly after that.

  • Installation of Vista after re-formatted hard drive.

    I bought an upgrade to Vista some time back, but recently had to reformat my hard drive. I reinstalled Vista but when I try to record using the product key code it says that my code is upgraded only and not for new installations. Is there anything I can do to keep Vista without having to buy it again?

    You can not legally do a clean install with an upgrade disc.

    You need to reinstall the original operating system 1 > and then perform the upgrade to Vista

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of the original/s operating system recovery disc, if you don't have them.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  • Install Vista on a new HARD drive help

    A few days ago my hard drive died. No idea why, but it has just stopped working. I went out and bought a new hard drive at best buy and went home to install Windows Vista Home Premium. Everything works fine until it gets to "Expand the files" around 26%. Once it gets there it just goes to the 'Blue screen of death '. I use a serious Vista x 86 iso to install it (it was my old OS so I just used the serial code I had). I tried to install it 3 times now and no luck.

    Now when I turn on my computer it will say "press any key to start from the CD or DVD and BOOTMGR is missing. Press Ctrl + Alt + Del to restart"I did another disk and it burned at a lower speed and still happens. Anyone know what is happening?

    Specifications of the computer.
    Processor: AMD Phenom 9750 Quad-Core, 2.40GHz
    Installed memory - 8192 MB/PC2-6400(2048/DDR2 SDRAMx4)

  • Install Vista from an external hard drive

    My girlfriend has a laptop Dell Inspiron with Vista Home Premium on it. She has the Dell installation disk, but its optical drive does not work. My laptop HP with an optical drive that works and I used to copy the installation on an external hard drive Seagate disc.

    I want to do a clean install of Vista on Dell sound. Can I just start directly from the folder on the external drive? How can I go about it?

    If your external drive is connected via usb the computer cannot start.  The computer does not scan for a bootable hard drive usb bus.  In addition, if you just copy the disk the file is not bootable.  She needs fix his optical drive if it is faulty.  If it works, you affect the optical drive as the device higher in the boot order in the BIOS Setup.  If you do not have the experience to do this take the computer in a store.

  • Install Vista on a new hard drive without a Setup disk

    I have a compaq cq71. The HARD drive is faulty (as told by checking the hard drive) and must be replaced. I'm going to buy a new HARD drive but don't know how I can install Vista on it. I have no Vista disk, only the recovery on the old damaged hard disk partition. Can I access the recovery partition is if possible I can create a floppy disk to install from here? Alternatively, if I could borrow a disk from someone else? I still have the product key of Vista on the bottom of my machine.

    Any help much appreciated.

  • Install Vista on the replacement hard drive?

    The hard drive in the venerable (but reliable) G60 my wife gave up.  After five or six years, we are unable to find its recovery disks.  The Microsoft Certificate of authenticity is also unreadable.

    My wife bought a spare by a local retailer.  How can I download a copy of Vista to burn it to a CD (or get media) and can HP be able to support the number of the original certificate if I give them the serial number?  Who do I start?

    Thanks in advance.

    In fact, we found its recovery disks (surprisingly), is not a problem.  I'm going to close this message.
