• Help! During the new installation of windows 8 from windows 7, received the error message "could not find readers.

  First post: I have a hp Envy 4-1030us ultrabook comes with windows 7.  from 3 months (after about 1 year of use), he started having the BSOD (blue screen of death) to STOP the messages of error 0x0000007e constantly interrupting sessions.  factory reset which has worked for 2 months but started to do it again.  tried the factory reset again, but now he makes mistakes BSOD after 2-10 minutes of use.  I was so fed up that I had a new OEM DVD of windows 8 and try to start it from the external DVD player connected via USB (laptop doesn't have a DVD player in itself).  When I get to the custom installation, without partitions or drives are listed and the error message 'we could not find all the readers'.  Since it is an ultrabook there is a 32 GB SSD and a 500 GB HARD drive.  in windows 7, these discs are seen without problem.  What I am doing wrong?  Why install it windows 8 can't see the internal drives?  Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

  You understand that you will not be able to upgrade Windows XP to Windows 7?  He will have to do a clean install.

  The Council supports Windows 7, you can get the drivers here (the chipset drivers should be the first drivers you install after installing the operating system.)

• Logical disk partition not recognized in the New Installation of Windows

  Hello.  I would appreciate someone to give me any advice.  I don't know if the problem I encounter is an oversight on my part, but it was not something that I anticipated.

  To give a bit of background, until last week, I was running a Windows 7 system on my computer which included three hard drives (4 TB, 2 TB, and a smaller disk).  The 4 TB drive included my boot drive with Windows on a partition of 2 TB and then the unallocated space has been transformed into a new partition in disk management, received the drive letter G and was used for long term backup of data.

  Since then, I built a new computer and installed a new version of Windows 7 on a small SSD.  During this process, I have not all disks connected to the machine (except the DVD player) so that there is no possibility of installation of Windows, do something for these readers I didn't (I got burned by this time long ago when you reinstall Windows 95, which makes me just feel old).  After the whole installation process was performed and the new version of Windows has been working well, I opened the machine and plugged the drive 4 TB and 2 TB, assuming that Windows did not recognize them when I started.

  When I started in Windows, Windows does indeed recognize the two drives and assign drive letters.  But in the case of the car of 4 TB, he acknowledges that the partition containing my old boot drive.  No drive letter is assigned to the secondary partition.  When I go to disk management, it shows all of the remaining spaces as unallocated space, but seems not yet quite recognize space completely in the way he would if I'd created directly.  For example, if I right click in that box, I don't get the normal options to create a new Simple Volume.  Everything on this menu is grayed out except properties and help.

  So I guess I have two questions.  (Leaving aside the possibility of a hardware problem), was I wrong to assume that a hard drive divided into two partitions could be transferred from a Windows machine to another?  I honestly thought that no matter where no matter what Windows 7 machine would recognize the two drives, but maybe I'm missing something fundamental.

  Two and more important still, there advice for access to the data on this drive?

  Hello

  A problem that could happen is that the disk partition has security setting so that the profile of the user that created it would be able to access it, and seeing that you are trying to access from a new profile may not not allow you to access

  To access these files, you can try to boot from the old hard drive manually to change the setting of the partition or simply manually move the files and delete the partition.

  To start from the old disk hard restart have the hard drive is plugged in, restart the computer and while it is booting F12 key to select the boot device, after that, select the old hard disk and access them normally.

  hope this has helped.

• After the new installation of windows installation

  Hello

  My computer has receantly had virus problems and I want to do a new installation of windows.  After I do this can I reinstall my copy of creative suite and use the code provided to or he'll tell me its already in use since technically, I did use it once already?  If Yes is it possible around it?  I really don't want to drop $800 again just to reload windows on my computer.

  Thanks for any help!

  Disable your existing installation of Creative Suite for free activation.

  Open any application e.g. Photoshop then help > Deactivate. That will disable the entire suite.

  Reinstall Windows.

  Reinstall the Creative Suite and it reactivates during installation.

• During the new installation of xp pro, the program never asked for the product key or what type of network installation.

  As the third so clean installation I did, do you think the pc is to remember my preferences?

  Thanks for any help.

  I think that when you install XP and turn on the first time, Microsoft collects information from your system during this process to develop a signature of material that goes with your license and store it away.  Of course, they do not collect any personal information :)

  They do it so that if someone takes your XP installation license and tries to apply it to another computer (it is piracy) that the installation would not activate as your activation must match your hardware.

  If someone tried to install and activate your license on another machine with a different set of hardware, MS would say, wait a minute - this license has already been activated on another machine, and he could complain.  Then someone has some ' splaing to do.

  I suspect that in your facilities in 2nd and 3rd, MS takes a look at things and said... this material signature and the license already go hand in hand, that nothing has changed here, so it is not necessary to activate again, all right.

  This is why, if one day you need to replace your motherboard and reinstall XP, even if you have everything and it's all legitimate, you will probably have to reactivate again since the signing of material would be completely different for this license that MS remembers the first activation.  A few small hardware changes, that you can get away with, but if the number of points collected to compensate for the signing during the initial activation is too different, you will need help activating.

  In this case, if things are legitimate, you can call MS activation team, and if you can convince them that there is no hacking involved and you just have to change your motherboard, they work with you to get your reactive stuff.

  Since you are looking at AUMHA, they have a writing little upward about it here, but there are official documents of Microsoft you can read also ('points' and how they work):

• new hard drive - what is the difference in performance between the new installation of Windows 7 or a clone of old hard drive?

  I get a new hard Hard Drive (SSD).  The new disc is the same size as my existing SATA drive.  I can do either a new

  the installation of Windows 7 or a clone old hard drive?  I would prefer to clone the old hard drive and keep all my settings, etc.   It's empirical data on the performance difference between a new installation of Windows 7 or to continue with the Windows 7 which was 3 or 4 years ago.

  I know the conventional wisdom is that the new installation is faster, but, no matter who actually tested and compared the differences?  I know I'll get better performance of the SSD the SATA drive, but I don't know if it's worth the hassle to do a fresh install and redo all my programs and settings.

  Others that the performance of the SSD you should not see any differences.  If you do, you can always do a clean installation later.

• 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!

• Minor problem with the New Installation of Windows 7 on my Inspiron E1705/9400 - two entries for "Base system device" under "Other devices" with yellow exclamation point

  Hello

  First of all, let me tell you about my system.   It is of a laptop Inspiron E1705/9400 with the Core 2 Duo T7400 processor clocked at 2.16 GHZ.   It has 2 GB of RAM and a hard drive on the Hitachi Travelstar nine 500 GB (7200 RPM).   It also has the GeForce Go 7900 GS video card.    Previously, it had Windows XP Professional (32 bit) and worked well.   But, I have three computers in my home and Home Office and would they work better together on my wired home network, so I'm upgrading all three to Windows 7.   My two desktops (a Dimension XPS 420 and the other Dimension XPS 430) seem like they will be no problem to upgrade to Windows 7.   But, this laptop was not on the list of Dell Windows 7 compatibility.   However, the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor that I have downloaded and run seemed to say that it was OK to do a clean install of Windows 7 32-bit and he had only a few minor issues, where it says search the drivers updated from the manufacturer.   Initially, the laptop came with a 100 GB hard drive.   For my use, which becomes very small, so I decided to get the exact same 7200 RPM drive 500 GB size.   This will allow me to do a clean install of the 32 bit Windows 7 OS on the new hard drive and not have to wipe the old disk to do so.   I can just keep the old HD and paste it back whenever I need to get something out of it.

  So, here's my minor problem.   After the transfer of some elements off the coast of the old hard drive, I installed the new 500 GB drive and installed a cleaning of the 32-bit version of Windows 7.    I'm happy to announce that I have not had virtually no problems with installation and everything seems to work fine.   He seems a little more zippy than before and I have not met so far that doesn't seem to work.   I went through most of features and almost everything is superb.   But there is a minor problem, showing in Device Manager.   At least, I think it's a minor problem, but maybe someone can give me feedback to know if she is or not.

  In the Device Manager list, there is a category called "other devices" now and the icon shows a little white circle with an exclamation mark.    When you expand this category, you see two identical entries that say "Base system device" and the icon has a yellow circle with an exclamation mark inside.     I know from experience that it is not a good thing to see items in the device manager that have a yellow circle with an exclamation point.   I clicked on both of them and neither one really tells you what the device is, or who did what is site you would go to a driver.    On the general tab, it has the following information:

  -Device type Other devices

  Reference of the manufacturer- Unknown

                       Location     -         Bus PCI 3, device 1, function 3

  
  

  Under device status, it says the following:

                         The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)

  There is no driver selected for the item or a set of device information

  To find a driver for this device, click Update driver.

  Each of the entries seem to be almost the same thing... but not exactly.   The other has the location

  list PCI Bus 3, device 1, function 2... instead of function 1.   This seems to be the only difference.

  I tried the button to update the driver, but that doesn't seem to work.   No matter if you say it looks like your

  computer or to look for a new driver from the internet, it does not find anything.     As I said at the beginning,

  the system seems to work very well... but, given that I don't know what this device is or does, I might be missing something.

  He drives me crazy just have these yellow circles with exclamation point hanging out in my device manager.

  I could really use some help here.    Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  BTW, I just downloaded and installed the driver pack from this ftp location and it worked, even for Windows 8.1 - 64 bit.

  Thanks Steve!

  everyone you have other ideas on why I can't use more than 3 GB even with matched RAM pairs?

  I came across one (for me surprising) solution: I tried to install the operating system on a different hard drive.  I removed the 1.5 TB drive (which had surpassed the Seagate hard drive diagnostics) and put in a borrowed 120 GB HDD.  Now with 4 GB of RAM, I don't me screen "Windows did not start properly.

  I don't understand why the 1.5 TB drive gave me this problem.  I tried to install the OS as all one partition and 240 GB of it (with the rest, that is not partitioned, or a separate partition).  Do you have my mobo have problems speaking as well such a great system unit and a fourth GB of RAM or is something wrong with this 1.5 to Seagate (which is not, BTW, have the f/w other a 1.5 TB Seagates question).

  Anyway, tomorrow I'll try install on a 300 GB hard drive, which I hope will find a House like this PC system drive.

• Problem with Windows Update after the new installation of Windows 7 Pro the Lenovo ThinkPad X 200

  I'm trying to do a fresh install of Windows 7 Pro on a Lenovo ThinkPad X 200. The product key is easy to find on the sticker of the ThinkPad. However, the version of Windows is hidden (for example, I can't check that my ThinkPad had originally installed Windows 7 Pro). I was able to install by using a Pro Win 7 SP1 CD ROM I bought for another installation. I used the ThinkPad I was trying to make the new facility on the product key. I was able to activate the Windows 7 Pro using the phone call and my cell phone. I checked the activation! However, I have problems with Windows update. The product key may be a different version of Windows 7. If so, why did it install and activate OK? Y at - it a fix for this problem or I have to buy a new version of Windows 7 Pro? Please note that I have not yet installed all drivers Lenovo ThinkPad as I can't seem to install correctly. Thank you!

  Since the issue is updated to Windows, it is not a product number key.

  You can reset the Windows Update components by running the Fixit on this page. But if there is malware present, she will continue to reset the connection to the update servers:

  Once the Fixit has been downloaded and the system is started in the pure State, check that the native Windows Firewall is now on if a 3rd party firewall has been used previously. Now run the Fixit and choose the default mode. Restart once it's done and see if the system can be connected to the update servers. If he can't, then rerun the Fixit and choose aggressive mode. Turn it back on when he finished the race and updates.

• IPS5.1 (1 d) is required during the new installation of IPS5.1 (1)?

  Hello

  I have a module of IDSM2 I reimagee with WS-SVC-IDSM2-K9-sys-1.1-a-5.1-1.bin.gz

  To achieve the level of signature last on ORC (S224 today), I have to install IPS 5.1 (1 d) or IPS 5.1 (1p1) first?

  By my knowledge, I don't require minor updates because it is a new installation of IPS 5.1 (1).

  Pls confirm. Thank you.

  You don't need to install 5.1 (1 d) on top of the freshly updated sensor 5.1 (1); If you have tried, he would miss anyway.

  You must install the patch of p1, then the update of the GIS S224. So, looks like it's exactly what you plan to do, so it's just confirmation.
