How I managed has installed Windows 7 on my pavilion g6-2346nr provided with Windows 8?

I disabled the secure boot and activated the legacy os support. When running the installer I get this error: missing cd/dvd device driver.  I know that the cd / dvd readers have not specific drivers. which chipset driver I have to load? I tried to download a few different Intel 7 series chipset drivers but when I try to get the installer to install it fails. Any suggestions please? I really hate Windows 8.

I found this on google and it solved my problem. It's something that I never would have guessed.

I guess that each of you is using USB key to install.

When Windows request driver, click Cancel. You will be taken back to the Welcome screen. At the Welcome screen, remove your USB key, insert back to the DIFFERENT USB PORT. Click Install now again. The installation process will be as usual.

This problem happened to the newest version of the Windows 7 Installer updated. In my opinion, it's because of the failure of Windows install to stay its detection on the USB drive. He has lost the connection and became confused, don't know where to find the USB key that he used to read before.

When we re - insert the USB, Windows install detects the rear USB and continue as usual.

    Given that the maximum amount of memory, that you can install on your laptop is only 2 GB, I'd go with W7 32 bit, as a 64 bit OS requires more memory and disk space to run a 32 bit OS only.

  • How to manage upgrades to Windows 7 with Windows 10 installed?

    So I have a fairly sophisticated question. My family computer is running Windows 7 Home Premium. I built my own PC game last Christmas and I installed the same version of Windows using the same product key. Since the free update of Windows 10 lance tomorrow, I have advanced and reserved my copy. Now, here's my problem: the version of Windows that I currently go to Windows 10 Home. Let's say I want to upgrade to Windows Pro 10. Currently, I'm lost on how should I do for this. I could go ahead and buy my own copy of Windows 7 Professional and install it and then upgrade to Windows Pro 10 or I could go ahead and install Windows 10 Home. But then after I have 10 Windows Home, how I would acquire Pro?

    After 10 of Windows is installed, you can purchase an upgrade to Windows Pro 10.

    The real problem is that you used the same product key Windows 7 Home on two computers. The rule is: a key = a single computer. You must either uninstall Windows 7 from one of the two computers (sooner or later, one of the two will move non-genuine)

    If you want to keep it 7 on the family computer then the best thing to do is to buy Windows 7 Pro and install it on your PC gaming and then upgrade to Windows 10. Note that the only other versions of Windows 7 are OEM / System Builder versions that require a clean installation of Windows you will need to re - install your games and other applications.

    Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/microsoft-windows-7-8-software/b?ie=UTF8&node=1286119011

    Another option would be to go directly to Windows 10 Pro by buying:

    The version of a $200 more expensive th has advantage of being a 'Retail' version which means can be move to a new game system. OEM versions are related to the 1st motherboard they are installed on the.

  • How can I re - install Windows on my DM1Z?

    Hello

    I recently bought a DM1Z with AMD E350. I like the laptop, but it came pre-loaded with a ton of software that I do not use and, frankly, don't like.

    Microsoft Office 2010 starter, Norton and about a dozen HP tools.

    I long for the day when the PC manufacturer will be available PCs totally clean, or with a simple installation of Windows, if they really and THEN give users a list of tools that can be installed.

    Anyway, how can I reinstall the OS, so that I can skip all (or almost) the extras?

    Apart from the fact that the DM1Z doesn't have a CD/DVD player, I didn't have any software in the box.

    Here I have a collection folder in the D: drive, but I can't access the contents via windows Explorer.

    Thank you

    It is possible that your system HP Recovery Manager has the possibility of the recovery of the reduced image. Reduced image recovery installs the operating system and required HP software but does not install any software trial version.

    Which can be verified in turn the computer laptop and typing on the F11 key to call the HP Recovery Manager.

    Read this web document on options for HP Recovery manager. for more information on the minimum image recovery.

  • How to remove pre-installed Windows XP and install my own OS on Satellite A100?

    It s all in the question.
    I bought my laptop in the Germany and also bought an English version of XP because the German is not my favorite and I'd like to customize my system - partitions etc. -.

    How can I do? I have a 100 GB hard drive and a partition only. Already 11 GB are used by German xp so it's a waste of space.
    I burned a cd of drivers with the Toshiba tools Wizard.

    Do I have to format my whole hard drive and if so, how should I proceed?

    How can I reinstall my Windows English after that?
    If I then run the issues with drivers, how to? Should I just insert my cd of drivers up during all up?
    Or is there a certain order in which I should reinstall the drivers?
    Im a little scared that the graphics card may not be recognized by the system I will not reinstall xp from the ghost of manufacturers image, and then the screen could be all blue or black?

    Thank you

    Hi Julien

    I assume that you have an original CD of Microsoft Windows and not a Toshiba restore CD.
    Well, if you want to use two Windows OS (German & English) then you must create a second partition and install second OS Win English on this partition.

    But if you want to have only the operating system English, so you can install the original windows on your HARD drive with a partition.
    To install the OS, just boot from the CD. The installation procedure will ask you if you want to format the HARD drive, etc.

    After installation, you can download and install the drivers of Toshiba of Toshiba driver page, because you need an English driver:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU

    And Yes, you must install the drivers of Tosh in the right order.
    Driver Chipset 1.)
    2.) common modules (if exists)
    Graphic driver 3).
    4.) etc.

    But on the recommended driver page, you will find the installation instructions. Check it out.

  • How can I re install windows 7 Home premium

    I downloaded widows 8 two weeks ago and, even if I like it, I found that it is not compatible with my Sony VAIO 3 year one-piece desktop computer because it windows * does not download some drivers like the built-in webcam and microphone.

    I need to re install Windows 7 Home Premium for which I bought through for download on the Microsoft Store in the United Kingdom. I have a product key and the purchase of reception ect. How I can do what I've searched and searched and cannot find any where on the internet that shows me how to do this. I would appreciate your advice and help, and more important again some instructions.

    When double boot with older versions of Windows, you must install the older version of Windows first (in this case Windows 7) on the boot drive. Create a partition, and then install Windows 8.

    Another thing, you would need a full version of Windows 8, Windows Pro 8 is an upgrade and you used to update the license of Windows 7 Home Premium eligible you want because you would be in non-compliance.

    Buy a full version of Windows 8

    If you want to build your own PC and install Windows 8, Windows 8 Pro or an additional operating system running in a virtual machine or a separate partition (including a Mac), you can buy Windows 8 or Windows 8 Pro System Builder (OEM versions). If available in your country or region, Windows 8 and Windows 8 Pro System Builder products can be purchased at participating stores, you will need to ask a the sales representative for more information. This version does not support the customer.

  • No option has worked at the start of vista & no CD provided with the computer!

    I tried all the options (boot recovery, System Restore, memory something or other, etc) and nothing won't boot up to vista. It puts me in a vicious cycle of hit ctrl alt + delete to restart again and again. I have tried absolutely every single option. I can get the bios of course but that's all. I don't see anything else. I have no Vista CD because I bought the computer from comp usa so I can't even try to start with a CD. I want to do a clean install, but I guess that's not possible with no CD :-(  I just need to crash the computer in the trash?  I am disabled so I have no money for a new CD of windows, they are simply too expensive.

    Thank you

    Vista Media recovery obtaining and/or using the Vista recovery on your computer Partition to factory settings .

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

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

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu
