• HP Mini 210: Clean install W7 Starter on Mini 210 - Microsoft says that manufacturer is Blocking install Key

  I recently did a new install of W7 Starter on my HP Mini 210-2145DX. I used a Belarc key finder to retrieve the key of the operating system before the clean install with a drive of W7 I own. But the W7 Starter will not check with Microsoft and gives an error code. I called Microsoft and read the error code and the key of W7. The woman asked me to find the certificate of authenticity that is connected to the computer. I told her that it was not. The manufacturer was blocking my W7 key, she said. It will not help me any further.

  Does anyone know a way around this?

  Thank you

  Mike

  Solution!

  I found the Microsoft Key and certificate of authenticity of green under the bottom of the plastic case. This case has been deleted by pressing the orange button plastic under the battery.

• clean install

  Hello

  I installed my Imac new with a new installation of El Capiten.

  What I did after he is not so clever I think.

  I imported with migration of all information, documents, programs, email and settings from my old system of Mavericks.

  The user I created is so similar to that of front on the Mavericks.

  Don't I have to spoil the clean install or is it still to be considered as clean.

  In the case where I did something wrong which is the usual way.

  Thank you

  Richard

  There are probably many different opinions of "clean install".

  Here's mine: a clean install is wipe the drive I want to install things on. Then I install the OS I want on that and create my user accounts and update the operating system and its applications integrated into the current. Then I install my apps from scratch and enter the product code and copy my data from a back up of my user accounts. Then configure my user accounts for how I want to that they are looking for apps and appearance.

  What you have done, in my opinion, is to install the operating system and migrated all your stuff. For some that might be a "clean install". Nothing wrong with what you were doing as long as things work the way you want.

• HP MIni 210-2145 DX: clean install of Windows 7, now I can't find the wireless drivers that work.

  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.

• Clean install SSD - OWC?

  I'm a late 2012 Mac mini server that I use as a desktop computer. Last week, I replaced one of the disks 1 to with an OWC Mercury EXTREME Pro 6 G 120 GB. OWC seems to be well-regarded and that was their player compatible with my most popular mini, I swapped the 1 TB for the SSD without problem.

  I had previously done a clean install on the disk of 1 TB of my mini and I am familiar with the creation of a Setup disk, I tried to do a clean install again on the SSD that failed (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7592029).

  Finally, I had a recovery Partition installed which took my slow rural connection of many hours, and let me go back to Mavericks, then I was an upgrade of the El Capitan 10.11.5.

  Is that the reason for the new thread, I am uncomfortable that I cannot do a clean install with this SSD and trying to determine if this is the exact model, brand or a problem with SSD in general is the problem (I even tried a second disc of this model). I even though it is possible that the 10.11.5 install was the question, but I tried installing to an SD card in my mini, which went without a hitch and I could start it.

  So, for those who have done a 'clean install' on a 3rd party SSD, they added to their machine:

  Were you able to complete the installation without error?

  Do you have what version of Mac OS X installed?

  What brand and model of the Player did you use?

  What Mac model you have?

  I am trying to root out, why it does not work and if it's just the brand / model of the disk or something more, any other idea you can offer would be helpful. I want a drive that I can do a clean install, 10.11.5 at least for the moment and I hope to new OS X that are coming (I know that no one can guarantee that).

  -Thank you

  Who say replace with the SSD? The bottom (nearest the black cover on the bottom) or the top? Some users have reported problems with an SSD in the upper Bay.

• New SSD - clean install USB 10.11.5 fails

  I have a mini Mac 2012 delay servier I use as a desktop computer. He had more storage that I needed if I swapped the boot with an OWC Mercury Extreme Pro 6 G SSD drive in the lower Bay, I left a second 1 TB drive 'data' in the upper Bay. The exchange took place without a hitch. I have rebuilt then key USB 3.0 I used initially do a clean install on the previous drive, with the latest version of El Capitan, I followed the instructions in this link: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201372

  I unplugged everything except power, network, monitor mini displayport and USB drive built above. I then start the USB key, select disk utility and erase the disc SSD - Mac OS extended (journaled) and name it MacIntosh HD. Then I continue with the installation by choosing MacIntosh HD as the startup disk.

  All apparently okay for about 5 minutes and then stops at "about a second remaining", he is sitting here for about 5 minutes and then goes to "0 seconds remaining", he is sitting here for a few minutes and then it reports "an error occurred during the preparation of the installation. Try to rerun this application".

  I experienced this about half a dozen times, after a few times, I've downloaded again the file install El Capitan and recreated the USB installation drive. I let it run all night and the result is the same, there is always activity in the newspaper, but same result. I also ran on the SSD health check after that deletion and he gets a healthy ratio.

  Before the error of the last entry in the log is "error writing to Volumes/MacIntosh HD/OS X Install Data / minstallconfig.xml".

  If I come back in disk utility after the MacIntosh HD volume error is more rose. I read that if OS X sees an SSD and a Standard disc, it can try to create a hybrid car, but you can skip this process and have just a SSD drive. I also see an entry in the log that the second disc "failed, volume-tick" because "this disk is used for Time Machine backups". (I have a backup disk of another computer).

  Anyway, looking for help. I'll copy the log for the next post, I can also call Macsales support but wanted to start here. Thank you...

  Edit: Sorry about the police, copied from Notes

  The paper is long enough, decided to wait to see if someone actually wanted to see.

  

• Clean install El Capitan

  Mac Min (end 2012) with OS 10.11.4

  After almost 4 years of loyal service, my Mac Mini has crashed. I have restored from Time Machine (Time Capsule). It took 3 days! It does not restore Mail and delete my account administrator a second restoration took 2 and a half days. Had a lot of problems after a lot of troubleshooting so I started the thread. I reinstalled El Capitan (not a clean install) of Apple and restored from Time Machine. It seemed to work after some difficulties of retrieving mail. I discovered that my account has been "standard". Not an administrator account. That's when I discovered that users & groups so that security preferences would not have been responsible and preferably errors windows generated. I reinstalled El Capitan again and the preferences panes issues are now fixed. It seems now that my basic problem is that I don't have an administrator account. As advised on the User Forums, I started using Cmd + S in Single User mode terminal where I should be able to create an administrator account. However, the terminal dΘmarrage aprΦs, I am unable to enter required text strings? I seem to be at an impasse.

  I seem to have discovered that my problem might be that my administrator account has no password (I wanted a quick no start-up of the action).

  I resolved to the fact that I may have to do a clean install. My question is if if I wipe the drive and re-install El Capitan, create an administrator account, and then retrieve the Time Machine backup and wait for all my applications (Parallels, 10 Windows, MS Office) get resettled.

  Any advice?

  Ron

  Yes, you can do it. Use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac - Apple Support

  I would rather a clone, but you already have corruption. Do not forget to save a TM time frame is before you had corruption.

• Possible hard drive after clean install failure

  Appreciate it really all thoughts on this issue, because it drives me crazy and apparently get worse...

  I added 8 GB of RAM and an SSD Samsung 840 PRO in a Mac mini in 2011 about three years ago. At the time, the Fusion drive has just been introduced, and I found the online instructions to configure the combo HD SSD/existing as a Fusion player. After ironing out a few bugs, it worked perfectly (at least from the point of view of the user) for nearly three years. Significant speed increase, could handle more intensive applications of multiple users, etc.

  Three weeks ago, I decided to do a clean install. I wanted to get rid of all accumulated waste, as well as some of the Notification Center widgets don't work properly. Immediately I noticed the startup time is longer, but once connected, all seemed well. Just moved old files to the new system from a Time Machine backup, and everything worked well. In disk utility, it looked as if the OS has created two discs as a Fusion player, so I left as what.

  A week ago, I started notice stuttering in the downloaded movies in iTunes, which never happened before. Around the same time I started having the spinning beachball while running almost nothing: Safari with less than 10 tabs open (no video game), iTunes (inactive), Mail, etc... Impose anything. I performed first aid in disk utility and found no problem. I kept the activity monitor for the last 24 hours with nothing significant, other apps does not not showing the spinning ball.

  I saw someone else evoke here EtreCheck, so I did that and got two red warnings:

  I guess at this point that OS X put in place the incorrect Fusion drive, causing conflicts... But I don't know what to do about this. I have several backups, so this isn't a problem.

  This community is a great resource, thank you to everyone who adds. As I said, I'd like to advice for this...

  I think it is obvious that you have a disk failure. Could be the SSD, HD, or both.

• HP Mini 311-1037NR: Windows 7 ISO?

  Okay so here's the scoop. A time, that I decided to take one of my old phones and dual-boot Ubuntu on it. While his part Ubuntu worked after installation, the part Windows kept crashing. I tried to recover, but it fails every time. Frustrated, I decided to forget it and just wipe everything and reinstall Ubuntu. After doing this and messing around with other Linux distributions, I want to return that has my computer to its former and reinstall Windows 7 on it. How could do to get a version of a Windows 7 ISO OEM. I tried to install an ISO from Microsoft directly, but they said that the product key entered was for OEM and so I needed to contact you guys.

• Clean install Windows 7 with UEFI in dv6-7215nr

  Hi, I would like to do a clean install of my HP dv6-7215nr Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 x 64 envy laptop.

  To this end, I have 3 questions to solve some installation issues.

  1. What are the steps to clean install Windows 7 SP1 Enterprise intact in UEFI mode?

  I tried to install Win 7 after the pre-requisites following:

  (a) not partitioned 200 GB free space on the disk (only 1 physical disk)

  (b) already installed Windows 8 files with UEFI

  (c) UEFI enabled

  (d) heritage disabled startup

  (e) secure boot disabled

  When I Boot in UEFI of CD/DVD, I can't switch to the Windows startup screen, it just hangs. What I am doing wrong? Is there any other prerequisites that I don't know?

  I tried to install UEFI with Legacy enabled Boot, and I installed win7 but I can't disable Legacy new Boot because Win7 boot and I want only the UEFI Boot and need for inheritance disabled.

  2. where can I download drivers for Windows 7 for my laptop?

  I found this topic:

  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-operating-systems-and-software/HP-envy-DV6-7210ei-downgrade-fr...

  They point to these drivers

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us & dlc = in & lc = in & product = 5273735 & task = &

  I think I could use these drivers, but I need just in case where. I guess they should work as the product names are roughly similar (with mine).

  3. is it possible to Secure Boot with Windows 7 SP1?

  I have no research on this so far.

  Thanks for the help that someone in the community can give to me, it is not important all the problems that I have set in I can still do research on questions 2 and 3 and help others with my research if I can do it before a response. Any info you can give me will be too great.

  Carlos

  (1) ' secure Boot' must be DISABLED and 'Legacy Support' must be ENABLED to install Windows 7 and many other older operating systems. The bootable media must support UEFI boot to install on a GPT-partitioned drive.

  You let people with DISABILITIES 'Secure Boot' (and 'Legacy Support' ENABLED) once you have installed Windows 7. Changing these options causes Windows 7 to start is no longer.

  (2) the Windows 7 drivers on the CTO Entertainment Notebook PC drivers HP Pavilion dv7t-7000 page you referenced, will work on your computer.

  (3) it is not possible to install or use Windows 7 with "Secure Boot" ACTIVE.

  WARNING *.

  HP does not recommend installing Windows 7 on a consumer computer comes with Windows 8, and it will support the installation of Windows 7. HP cannot provide the drivers for Windows 7 and the appropriate drivers are not available for the hardware in the computer. In addition, Windows 7 can not take in charge some of the hardware or software designed for the computer.

  Make sure you create your media recovery HP or USB Flash Recovery discs before you edit or change anything.

  You will need to DISABLE 'Secure Boot' and ENABLE 'Legacy Support' in the 'Configuration of the BIOS start-up secured' on the page parameters below, until you try to install Windows 7.

  

  In addition, as the hard drive is probably partitioned as TPG, you must start the computer by using the "UEFI - CD/DVD drive" or "UEFI - USB Flash drive" options in the boot menu "F9". If "UEFI - CD/DVD drive", "UEFI - USB Flash drive" or something to that effect does not exist in the start menu, please post a screenshot and/or make startup listed options.

  I suggest using Windows 7 SP1 for the best installation experience. If you need Windows SP1, see 'How to install Windows 7 without the disc' to download and create your own disc of Windows 7 SP1. If the DVD does not start as UEFI, you may need to use a USB Flash drive (can ask "Quick start" DISABLING in BIOS) as the installation media. Please download the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool to create a Windows 7 SP1 USB Flash drive. Please note that some computers may not recognize a valid active UEFI USB Flash drive if it is formatted in NTFS and may require only a FAT32 formatted USB Flash drive. You should be able to make a FAT32 formatted Windows 7 installation USB Flash drive using Rufus, UNetbootin, Universal USB Installeror WiNToBootic. I like Rufus, because it contains options for 'Plan of GPT partition for UEFI computer' and 'FAT32'.

  If you have missing or unknown devices after installing the drivers, please post to the "Hardware ID" Device Manager (just the text string will do) to these devices as shown in the example below.

  

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

• Free Windows 7 Upgrade Clean install questions

  Hi, I have recently buy a Mini 5101 it comes with XP Pro and Vista Business... I currently have Vista Business installed on it. I wonder about the process of upgrading to windows 7. On the free upgrade Web site it is said that the operating system can be upgraded to windows 7, according to the weather, I have vista (upgrade straigh) or xp (must be a stable cleaning). Now, my question is can I perform a clean installation with this upgrade? I know that normally you can perform a clean install via the insertion of the disc of the previous operating system media during installation, but as the Min 5101 is a netbook (no cd drive) I will probably install it via a USB key. It is very important for me to have a clean install.

  On the upgrade Web site, it says that if you are using XP pro, you must perform a clean installation. It would be better for me to install XP now order the update, and then install Vista so that I can get the version that will allow me to perform a clean installation - or I'd get the same disc anyway?

  I know the installation disc doesn't have not yet been outside and not so should know the process entirely. Kind of hope that someone will have knowledge on this subject.

  The installation media will allow you to perform a clean installation 'upgrade' using product key of the current operating system during installation. This allows him to check that you are upgrading from a previous version of Windows.

• Not able to install the HP software after a clean install of win7, hpbi and harddisk.dll error

  Hello

  I bought a tm2 with win7 home x 64, my IT guy at the office have installed win7 ultimate x 64 and of course all the HP software was missing when I returned. Fortunately, they recorded the old files and I was able to locate the SwSetup folder and managed to install essential drivers.

  However, I miss all the HP software, which means that I can no longer find it not in the SwSetup folder or it will not be installed. I found the HP Touch Smart 'something' Center (folderHPTSLC) but I get the error "hp\bin\hpbi" and I found the Recovery Manager win7 HP homepage, but I get the error "hardDisk.dll.

  I am really a bit upset that I have to spend so much time to solve a simple problem, I have an intact recovery partition, a partition HP tools intact as well as all the files in the SwSetup folder, how can it be difficult?

  I want the software I paid and so far, I spent several hours looking for a solution to a seemingly simple problem (just provide the software on your hp, or at least one that reinstalls the Sw from the hard drive to the HP computer if you fear that your software may be used on other HP computers...).

  Can someone please provide me with is the solution to the problems mentioned above, a link to the HP Touch Center application work (although I have the files, he just moved there) or tell me how I can restart the installation of the HP software and driver that happens just after you have configured your win7?

  Thank you

  I agree, our IT screwed up guy, they didn't even know the upgrade thing... :-/

  In any case, I found a way to install the software I was looking for, just unzip to a folder and run the .msi file in the src folder.

  Even if not all the applications had such a record, most of 'em had.

  After playing with the sw a bit, I realized that I didn't like it anyway, boy I'm glad, I wasn't going to come home!

  and btw, we bought a HP Mini and it was a nice little software, called AppInstl in his swsetup, actually just the sw file I was looking for. Of course the same thing happened with the Mini ('clean' installation), but with this app, that I managed to re - install all the sw I wanted without any problem, except QuickWeb, of course, but that seems to be a general problem.

  Seems to me that HP has also seen the need for a "easy install your software after clean install" app.  :-)

  Thanks for all your comments, my problem was solved!

  Rgds,
