• (Inspiron 7720) Cannot be started on the installation of Windows 8 media in UEFI

  Hello

  I just got a Dell's Inspiron 7720 (computers laptops 17 ") running on Windows 8. As usual, I want to reinstall Windows 8 myself to ensure that I have a clean install (and to be sure, I'll be able to do if I change my HARD drive). I want to do in UEFI mode and not in Legacy mode.

  • I tried to boot on Dell Windows 8 DVD (requested by phone, IE 8 64-bit Windows) by pressing F12 at startup: the only options are "Windows Boot Manager" and "Network Boot. No way to boot to DVD, Windows starts automatically.

  I went in the "Bios" by pressing F2 at startup (Startup tab):

  • I tried to disable "Secure Boot": no result, kept this option disabled.
  • I activated the Option Rom legacy: a new menu "Legacy Boot: ' allows me to start on the drive of DVD, but housing starts of start-up Mode Legacy, which is not allow me to install Windows 8: the installer says my partition table is GPT, so I can't select any partition on my discs to install the OS.
  • I tried to add a boot option with the name of the Boot Option as ' CD/DVD/CD-RW Drive': is in the list of system files "PciRoot (0x0) / Pci (0x1F, 0 x 2) /Sata (0x3, 0x0, 0x0) /CD" or 2 entries like "PciRoot (0x0) / Pci (0x1F, 0 x 2) /Sata (0x3, 0x0, 0x0) /HD'." ""» I tried all. I left the "File name" line empty. No results: the CD begins to spin at the start and then the operating system starts 2 seconds later. I tried repeatedly pressing "Enter" immediately after the choice of my new boot entry in F12 menu, same results.
  • I tried everything above with the operating system on a USB stick (formatted to Fat32 using this http://www.servethehome.com/uefi-bootable-usb-drive-windows-8-windows-server-2012/), no result. The light on the USB is indicating activity for 2 seconds, then turns off when Windows starts.
  • I tried to start my DVD and my USB on a new Inspiron 660 (office): a line is automatically added in the F12 boot menu and I can start on the DVD or USB in UEFI mode (and I can reinstall Windows), so my devices seem not to be the problem.
  I spent two hours on the phone with a Dell technician, and he was not able to solve my problem.
  It seems to me that Dell has not even attempted to check whether their own DVD of Installation OS works on their computer
  I think I need to write something in the "File name" box when you add a new Boot Option. But why? I forgot something?
  Thank you in advance for the time you spent reading this.

  OK I solved the problem. It's very simple, but obviously the bios needs an update: the one-time boot menu (the one launched by pressing F12 at startup) does not work in the UEFI.

  So, how to start on the DVD in UEFI mode:

  • Insert the DVD into the drive
  • Start your computer by pressing F2 to enter the Bios
  • Go to the Startup tab
  • Add a boot option with the name of the Boot Option as ' CD/DVD/CD-RW Drive' and check that the 'CD' in the end enabled, as "PciRoot (0x0) / Pci (0x1F, 0 x 2) /Sata (0x3, 0x0, 0x0) /CD'." Let the empty file name entry.
  • Put the new entry before 'Starting Windows Management' in the UEFI Boot section.
  • Save and restart.
  • When asked, press a key to boot from the DVD. DO NOT USE one-time F12 BOOT MENU: by SELECTING ' CD/DVD/CD-RW Drive' will NOT WORK.
  When Windows is reinstalled correctly, just change the new boot order or delete the boot entry you created before. Never use the single start menu unless you want to start in Legacy mode (it works).
  I can't believe I lost so much time on this... I hope this will help.

• Qosmio G20 102: problem RAID the installation of windows xp media center

  First of all I did not the raid driver for my qosmio. I tried the RAID of Qosmio G20, another pilot but when it reached the stage when I ask windows to format the C driver it shows me an error. It is said that there is an error in the KR10N file and it stops there.
  Please help me and thank you.

  Hello

  It seems that the Qosmio G20 102 belongs to the series of PQG20E.
  Research on the European driver Toshiba page I found the RAID for Windows XP MCE driver v1.03.0008 (can also be used with XP Pro).

  You will need an external USB FDD to include this driver in the operating system.
  But note; After installing the RAID driver you shouldn't t format the HARD disk or create a new partition, because that will remove the RAID driver from the HARD disk and installing the OS fails!

  I hope I could help you would also appreciate a feedback ;)
  Best regards

• How to stop the installer of windows at startup to the top

  Hi, when I start my computer with the windows vista Setup program automatically starts and tries to start the blackberry desktop software, which was on this model but I got rid of him. It's annoying that it stops at the comp to load the rest of the startup programs. Anyone know what I can do to get rid of this nuisance?

  Very appreciated

  QF

  Do not know if this the the right answer for you.
  The next method is to set Windows Installer to MANUAL application Services program so that it does not start automatically when you turn on the computer.

  Windows Installer is supposed to be set to manual.

  Start button > in the search box, type services > press the Enter key > uac prompt > scroll to find Windows Installer > click...
  status section, there should be nothing (empty)
  Unser Startup Type, it is and must be manual
  
  

  
  If this isn't what you see, right click on Windows Installer > properties > change it. See screenshot.

  

  For the benefits of others looking for answers, please mark as answer suggestion if it solves your problem.

• The installer of Windows Multipoint

  Hello, my name is Lewis and I have some questions about windows Multipoint. I help with a service that is intended for children with autism and we begin with a small group to leave the children to meet new people and play games together for example Minecraft. I'll try to find a cheap solution we currently have 4 computers (one for each child) but where the thought it would be less expensive to use multi point since we just get a single computer.

  We have a budget of £1000, we also hope to expand beyond 4 children at a time thereafter.

  1. how much is windows Multipoint?

  2. If possible can someone link me to a pre-constructed computer, we could buy it to support a number of people

  3. the key is that I need to figure out how to get the installation of windows multipoint, I know a simple guide on how to put in place for a number of people and enlargement before buying equipment. I'm sure there are many more experienced people out there I have to do this so hoping that this post is customary, please respond with as much detail as possible because I've never done anything like this before

  Here is my understanding on what we buy so far:

  1 computer,

  4 monitors,

  4 keyboards,

  4 mouse,

  and multipoint. It has everything I need to add indicate it

  I posted this in the windows section because I can not find a category for multipoint windows, I don't know if it's even still supported so your help is much appreciated

• Problems with the installation of Windows 2012

  Hello

  I suck with creating a virtual machine as a server windows 2012.

  on the creation of the vm I then run the installation since the data store disc. When I selected the language and then clicked on install I always get a screen around "media not found driver...". ».

  I can't get around that, any ideas on how to fix?

  Hi again jmwebster,

  We had a number of previous reports of the non-Microsoft browsers forum repeatedly truncating the download of the installation of Windows 8 media.  If you still don't have success with your most recent upload and you are not already using Internet Explorer, it may be worth your while to use IE for this download Windows Server 2012.  I have not passed through the procedure myself, but apparently if you use IE you should be given the possibility to use a download manager to manage the download and verify its integrity and passing by that the procedure seems to have led to more positive responses from users of the forum who have problems before and had tried to download several times.

  Good luck with it!

• Why when I run the installer for Windows 8 consumer preview on my computer of Windows XP Home Edition he says: "this platform is not supported"?

  Setup of Windows 8 consumer priview

  Why when I run the installer for Windows 8 consumer preview on my computer of Windows XP Home Edition he says: "this platform is not supported"?

  You can see this message if you downloaded Windows 8 64-bit and XP 32-bit. To start the installation of Windows 8, you will need to restart and boot from the installation of Windows 8 media.

  If you want to keep your current installation of Windows, you can install it on a separate partition and dual boot with the Windows 8 Preview of consumer. To install on a separate partition and dual boot, you must create and boot from the installation media.

  (1) first you will need a free partition on hard drive - if you do not you can shrink a partition and create a new one to install Windows 8 Preview of consumer on.
  To reduce a partition and add a new one that you can use EASEUS Partition Master (free):
  http://www.partition-tool.com/personal.htm
   
   
  (2) to install on a separate disk, you can perform an installation DVD or USB key, then boot from it so you can choose the other partition. To download the ISO file and install media:
  Download Windows 8 consumer Preview ISO:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/ISO
  After you download the ISO file - use the Windows USB/DVD Download tool to install media:
  http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool
   
   
  (3) installation on a separate partition for dual boot:
  1 make a DVD or USB installation drive - to see the two options above.
  2. start from the DVD or USB install drive and click on install when prompted.
  3. during the installation process, when asked - choose a custom installation.
  4. Select a free partition on the hard disk to install Windows 8 Preview of consumer - this will install Windows 8 on a separate instead of your current Windows partition partition.
  5 continue with the installation.
     
   
   
  First of all please note:
  1 consumer preview Windows 8 is a pre-release and will only work for a limited time - when it expires, you need to remove it.
  2. the overview of consumption is stable and has been tested, but it s not the finished product. Your PC may crash and you may lose important files. You should backup your data and you shouldn't test Windows 8 Preview of consumers on your primary home or business PC.
  3. If you install the preview of consumption on the Windows partition is currently installed, you cannot uninstall the preview of consumption. To return to your previous version of Windows, you will need to reinstall from the recovery or installation media supplied with your PC.
  4. in addition to dual boot, here are a few methods to install Windows 8 Preview of consumers without affecting your current installation of Windows:
  (A) remove your current hard drive and install the Preview of consumers on a spare drive.
  (B) install it on a spare computer.
  (C) install the Preview of consumer in a virtual machine.

  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).

  How do I start the installation of windows 7 started without back up
  as I reinstall my windows 7, that the installation process has been abandoned that I forgot to plug in the charger and it now displays "windows installation was not completed. to install windows on this computer, restart the installation "How can I restart the installation..." i havnt made any recovery

  Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

  Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

  You will receive the following warning:
