• What drivers to download for a clean install of Windows 7?

  I'm working on a clean install of Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 on my HP Pavilion computer of bureau a6600f (originally there was Vista, now he has Windows 7 Ultimate). The machine is stable but really slow.

  If I want to download the drivers and others, which is here. But I don't really know what are those who... just do each of them?

  and then after installing Windows 7, I have just install these one by one?

  Here are the specifications of your desktop HP Pavilion a6600f. Based on the specifications, this model uses a nVidia Chipset nVidia Graphics, nVidia Network and Realtek HD Audio. If you have already done, I would update the BIOS first. I skip the installation of the HP drivers and go directly to the sites of the manufacturer for the latest drivers chipset.

  nForce Driver v15.56 for Windows 7 64-bit (Ethernet, SATA/IDE, SMBUS, pilot EMS and Away Mode driver)

  V307.83 GeForce Driver for Windows 7 64 bit (Graph)

  Realtek HD Audio Driver for Windows (Tick 'Accept', click 'Next', years download location for 3rd item to the bottom of the list)

  I think that your 'slowness' is due to the entry level Pentium E2200 CPU and only 3 GB of RAM. Consider one of the better microprocessors on the list and the upgrade to 4 GB RAM HP.

  If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

• A clean install of Windows 7 x 64 takes forever to search for updates

  Don't know why, but the update takes forever to search on a clean install of windows. I made a lot of clean installations of Windows 7 before, but never had a problem with the receipt of the updates. But this time, it just doesn't go as far in receiving updates.

  I don't have any firewall or antivirus programs installed on this system. Just new installation of windows 7. Tried the pro versions and at the same time with the same result.

  Here's onedrive link for the log file

  Please run the Windows Update Troubleshooter:
  http://go.Microsoft.com/?linkid=9830262

  Please provide details of any problem it reports as not fixed.

  Generally updates for Windows 7 can take more than 24 hours to get the list of those available.

• Question seeks to clean install 10 Windows on the drive of the merger. El Capitan.

  Problem: try a clean install of Windows 10 via the Boot Camp Assistant on an iMac 27 inches (Late2013) with 10.11.4 installs hours (more than 8 hours) and then failed to install Boot Camp updates. Essentially installation take much long than normal and cannot install updates of the Apple software or create normally start Windows Boot Camp 10.

  Background: After problems of slowing down after upgrading to 10.11.4 (with improved Bootcamp Windows 10) who had previously worked fine for 10 months, to the point of a start of OS X time, I decided to do a clean install of my iMac with Fusion 3 to disk.

  As I was unable to remove the partition from Boot Camp through BCA because of his holding always at the same load, I used Internet recovery and reset the Fusion drive. This then required me to repair the partition of Fusion by car through THE "fix" option which seems to work very well. And reinstalled OS X 10.11.4 which works fine now (delays etc..)

  Try using BCA to create a new partition Boot Camp and a clean Windows 10 install after downloading an image of disk W10 directly from Microsoft (Win10_1511_1_English_x64), BCA by downloading software updates and by selecting the desired partition, it began to restart and initialize the installation. However the whole process has been very slow, each step takes much longer than usual, to progress. Leave for hours rest a blank screen or with a circle of rotation.

  I tried with another stick USB 3 and also a USB 2 stick, but none has made a difference.

  In the last attempt, I left running overnight and after 8-9 hours, he finally reaches the top of desktop Windows 10 and the update of Apple Bootcamp starts to load updates. However, he just hung and even after 2 hours, nothing was. Reboot and try once again has been the same.

  After that I tried to create a Windows Installer via BCA 8.0 however it gives just a TPG error when you try to select the drive (due to el Capitan I guess?)

  After four days of efforts, I'm a loser on how to get the Windows 10 on the Boot Camp partition. I can't even install W8 and upgrade due to the error of TPG.

  Any help or suggestions how to proceed with the diagnostic / resolution of the problem would be appreciated.

  Details:

  System: iMac (27 inch, end of 2013), 3.4 GHz Intel Core i5, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 M 4096 MB, OS X 10.11.4

  • Nothing other than the keyboard and mouse attached via the USB ports, as well as the key USB of BCA. No other attached devices.
  • Reset memory NVRAM, SMC and ran more than once disk utility. No problem not reported.  Ran NVRAM reset before each attempt.
  • At ran EtreCheck report which seemed OK.
  • Verification of diagnosis ran who is childless.

  A detail I noticed after the merger by car there are now two Macintosh HD images when you use boot option. One previously. Are named "Macintosh HD" and "Macintosh HD2". I remember being Yosemite simultaneously in three, but which has been fixed in an update.

  In addition, it seems that no recovery partition. Cmd + R lance Internet recovery.

  Summary:

  Q1: Should it take 4 + hours to install Windows 10 via BCA?

  Q2: Al must ultimately be so slow when initially W10 desktop?

  Q3; What I do once I arrive at the office of W10 but it automatically updates the graphics driver as BC update is simply suspended for centuries and get a working driver to restart at least W10?

  Q4: is there a problem with the disk HARD the Drive of Fusion that is causing all this delay and slow install / boot? ON the clean install OS X 10.11.4 it is back to be fast as usual and all tests show things are OK but W10 goes on the part of the HARD drive. No way to verify this beyond diagnosis or Etrecheck?

  Q5: Y at - it no problem with the GPT / MBR that may be causing the delay etc. ?

  Q6: How can I use my existing WindowsImageBackup backup from the previous W10 with the BCA install usb drive or how to create a USB stick otherwise recovery disk with my other single Mac have W7?

  Q7: How can I install W8 as I once did on Yosemite, via el Capitan without a mistake to TPG on selection of disc?

  Details:

  Day 5. Attempt at 6.

  Partition Boot Camp delete and try again install via BCA. First question, is that when the startup it goes to a blank black screen. For a time nothing left. Reset then using alt to select windows training results in almost instantaneous startup of the BCA message created and the beginning of the installation.

  4 1/2 hours from start of Windows 10 initial signature window.

  Then the second question. One to reach the Boot Camp update Office tries to start and install the drivers. Allows you to "list files...". "stage then sits at the bar about 5% green for 1 to 2 hours and does nothing. All actions in the Office of the W10 takes ages.

  In the meantime, auto update of the W10 appears a message saying that the updated graphics drivers as one of the few messages or actions during this period. Looks like Nvidia install with the entire package of experience (unwanted) etc. and very probably not the correct gpu driver.

  Finally deciding to cancel the installation of BC by killing the Setup.exe process. Then copy Boot camp install files on the desktop. Lasts 30 minutes to copy. Run again and this time, although taking 15-20 minutes to download and install later with the success message.

  Check the graphic driver it shows a yellow exclamation mark, so the following Microsoft instructions I use the uninstall option via the device and then Manager (slowly) come on board to load and download the latest Nvidia driver on their site for the GTX 780 M for 64-bit W10 etc. The same thing that I had used previously. Slow with running the Nvidia Setup program again, but eventually it works only to say that he could not install as unrecognized graphics device...

  He ends up with Microsoft PnP driver so it's at least sufficient start and run it again BC of the figure updates as all other drivers have been installed. To restart, but I get an error of K-Mode that is most likely related to this driver graphic and not possible to start in the new W10 Boot Camp partition after 7 hours.

  I have a picture of W10 backup recovery (WindowsImageBackup) I've had in a few weeks, but it will not install bet for the installed W10. I try with the ACO created the USB windows but can't seem to get a way to get into recovery mode and to get the menu to install it. I don't have a way to create a USB W10 recovery key now because my other Mac has just installed W7.

  Finally I tried to count a reset of the Recovery boot up option but it seems that it will take longer to start.

  I also went to the recovery and selected Boot Mode safe, but it opens on an empty black window and he's here doing nothing.

  Looks like I'll have to restart on via BCA and reinstall and try and solve the problem of graphics in order to install driver updates from BC and restart to W10 and hope that with the drivers, it returns to the operation and the normal starting time. Then update the gpu driver.

  I used and installed Boot Camp several times with over the years including previously an upgrade of W8.1 > W10 I used for over 6 months without problem. I've never known these installation very long or ice once in Windows even for the initial start upward.

  For any help or suggestion would be appreciated, and this seemingly simple process has now expanded to five days.

  Hello Zarakkhan ;
  
  I read your post on the new install of drivers of Win10 and wanted to help.

  As to the first, the upgrade of active Win10 through something known as right digital, install some sense, when you perform an upgrade on the spot on an existing Win7/8/8.1, upgrade reuses the existing product key for activation.  After you confirm that the machine is turned on, you can THEN do a clean install on the same machine.  IF you do a clean install without activating the first, you will not activate your copy of Win10.

  That said, MS released earlier to a new update to Win10 and (allegedly), you should be able to do a clean install with NEW media made from multimedia authoring tool and have it activate using your product key of Win8.1.  But, I haven't read anyone done this yet, is just a rumor at this point.

  As for save the drivers, there's a product excellent freeware called Driver Backup.  After you download and install it, you can then save out all your current drivers on a USB key.  This will make reinstall them later a simple process. I know it works because I use this product myself.

  Good luck

  I have a HP mini 210-2145 DX.  I recently had to do a clean install of Windows Ultimate edition.  Now, I can get a wireless connection because I can't find the right drivers on the HP site.  I tried 12 + drivers that I downloaded.  They all seem to be for 32 bits, and it's 64-bit.

  Can someone please help me find the right wireless drivers to install?  Thank you.

  Try this different file and see if it works automatically and installs the driver.

  File name: sp57965.exe

  There was also support for the hardware ID you have posted.

  I have no problem downloading the file, or by using 7 - zip to extract the exe file downloaded to a folder that you can browse from the network controller to install the drivers.

  Unfortunately, I can't help you with the problem if the new file does not work.

  I'm doing a clean install of Windows 7 and during the installation, I get an error message "A required CD/DVD drive driver is missing. If you have a drive floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now.

  Extract the drivers to packages

  create directories

  c:\Drivers

  c:\drivers\glb

  c:\Drivers\x86

  c:\Drivers\x64

  c:\temp\mount

  c:\temp\DVD_Files

  -the first is for the x 86 and x 64 so I put them in a directory c:\drivers\glb

  -l' other contains x 86 vs x 64-put-the separate directories in separate directories.

  c:\Drivers\x86

  c:\Drivers\x64

  (1) copy the ISO files from the DVD to install Windows 7 in a directory - c:\temp\dvd_files

  (2) mount the boot.wim file

  -dism/mount-WIM /wimfile:c:\temp\dvd_files\sources\boot.wim / index: 1 /mountdir:C:\temp\mount

  DISM / image: C:\temp\mount / Add-Driver driver:c:\drivers\glb

  DISM image:C:\temp\mount / Add-Driver driver:c:\drivers\x64 (or x 86 if the picture is for a 32-bit install

  DISM /mountdir:c:\temp\mount unmount unmount

  (3) mount the install.wim file

  -you know what image to update because the install.wim file contains all the images (except Enterprise).  If installing 64-bit Home Premium - that would be index 2

  -dism/mount-WIM /wimfile:c:\temp\dvd_files\sources\install.wim / index: 2 /mountdir:C:\temp\mount

  DISM / image: C:\temp\mount / Add-Driver driver:c:\drivers\glb

  DISM image:C:\temp\mount / Add-Driver driver:c:\drivers\x64 (or x 86 if the picture is for a 32-bit install

  DISM /mountdir:c:\temp\mount unmount unmount

  Copy your files to USB and everything should be good.

  I forgot something.  The boot.wim file has two images.  So after step 2, you must do exactly the same thing again but on index 2 like this:

  mount the boot.wim file

  -dism/mount-WIM /wimfile:c:\temp\dvd_files\sources\boot.wim / index: 2 /mountdir:C:\temp\mount

  DISM / image: C:\temp\mount / Add-Driver driver:c:\drivers\glb

  The system uses something of a RAID configuration, because it doesn't have an Intel RST and a Smart Connect pilot.

  The problem is that I don't have access to a copy non - OEM Windows 8 to test the manual installation of the driver Intel RST or Smart Connect method.

  What is a stock Enterprise of Windows 8 version or a custom image for the company?  If it is a stock Enterprise installation, then the Windows Anytime Upgrade would be an option provided the OEM copy is always available and you know what is the product key.

  However, you can try to extract the contents of the package driver to a USB flash drive and try to manually install one of the drivers (RST or Smart Connect) to see if it makes the configuration of disk HARD visible during the installation process.

  Intel driver for fast ignition

  Intel Smart Connect driver technology

  7-zip

  1. install and open 7-zip.

  2 in 7 - zip, access both downloaded drivers linked above in the post.

  3. right click on each one and choose 7-zip > Archive open.

  4. extract the contents of each driver on an external USB drive.

  5. When you arrive at the selection of blank disc screen during installation of Windows 8, select the option to load drivers.

  6. go to the file Intel RST pilot which was extracted, select drivers and appropriate architecture (x 86 for 32-bit, x 64 for 64-bit).

  7. This can be a process of elimination.  Try each driver (in RST and Smart Connect) until you find one that works.

  8. when the appropriate driver has been installed, then the HARD drive should be visible.

  Let me know what happens.

• clean install of windows XP to input signal out of range

  Hi I recently took my old pc xp out of the dusty closet.
  I discovered that the operating system has been corrupted then decided to do a clean install of windows xp.
  However after that it says press any key to boot from the disk and I press a button, then it went to a screen blank and says on the monitor says "Input Signal out of range at 1280 x 1024 60hrz. change."
  I also did a reset factory monitor and hooked up the old pc to the tv.
  So I would like to know how to solve the problem, any help would be much appreciated.

  Hello

  First you using a discrete graphics card or graphics are integrated with the motherboard? Change BIOS battery (or whatever it is in the BIOS change to any method) will not change anything to do with a graphics card discrete and not likley to do much for either integrated graphics card.

  What it sounds like to me, is that the key to the race to start from the CD is not recognized and that Windows is actually booting from the hard drive with a resolution taken not supported by your monitor. But, being not there, I can't be sure of this so here are some ideas of diagnostic.

  Start the PC without the CD inserted, do you have the same problem?

  The keyboard is correctly connected?

  If a PS/2 keyboard is it plugged into the outlet of PS/2 mouse by mistake (keyboard taken are normally purple, green mouse normally Sockets)?

  Is the keyboard PS/2 or USB? You can try another keyboard ideally with the other type of interface?

  You can get in the setup of the BIOS by the appropriate key combination (usually F2 or DEL but I saw others also, look for the message at startup upwards)? If you can not it would indicate a keyboard problem.

  If you can remove the keyboard as a problem, I would return to my original question on a discrete graphics card. If there is a discreet graphics card, the motherboard is also a graphic? If this is the case, remove the discrete card and try windows set up again. Or even try installing windows with a spare graphics card if you can get your hands on one. Turn off the computer and unplug it from the socket before to remove/replace all internal components.

  Finally, what of the installation CD? Is this the one supplied with the PC? It is the recovery of the real manufacturer CD or CD from Microsoft genuine?

  Tricky

  Relax and breathe.

  FIRST: Uninstall IE8 and IE7 if they are installed.  Back to all the way back to IE6.  You want other patches before you get those.  Reboot after doing this.

  Get SP2 (manually) and save it to your desktop. (There's a link here.) [You are a COMPUTER professional for now.]

  Install it.

  Then restart at least a couple of times for a few minutes between each restart.

  Get SP3 (manually) and save it to your desktop. (There's a link here.) [You are a COMPUTER professional for now.]

  Install it.

  Then restart at least a couple of times for a few minutes between each restart.

  Download at least Internet Explorer 7 (if it is not Internet Explorer 8).

  Install it.

  Reset.

  Now, try to get the updates through the normal web page (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/) and see how much more you can get (100 +) and keep checking until you no longer have.

  Back - let everyone know if it worked for you.
