• New hard drive try to install Windows vista but it keep suspended after 60% and collapsed them

  New hard drive try to install Windows vista, but it keep suspended after 60% collapsed I tried a few time every time I had to wait for 5 hours, but the same thing happen again and again can help you pleaaaaaaaaaaaaase

  Monastir,

  What happens when it stops it is have a Sata driver. It is on the drivers cd you received with your computer. You can also start the computer and press F2 to enter the bios. From there down to Configuration system - SATA Operation and change this to ATA. It is located to AHCI. Save the changes and restart the installation. Once you have loaded Windows and drivers installed, you will need to go back to AHCI.

How can this be corrected?

  Hi KevinRy,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

  Unplug all external devices.

  Try to start in safe mode. If you can start in safe mode, and then do a system restore to restore the computer to an earlier point in time.

  Change the recovery settings to disable automatic reboot, if you are able to boot up to the desktop computer:

  1.	Right-click my computerand then click Properties.
  2.	Click the Advanced tab.
  3.	Under Startup and recovery, click settings to open the Startup and recovery dialog box.
  4.	Clear the automatically restart check box, and then click OK many times necessary.
  5.	Restart your computer so that the settings take effect.

  Now, when you are going to close and a fatal error occurs, you will see at least and it won't cause an automatic restart.

  Please reply back with the error message you get because it helps us to resolve the error.

  Kind regards

• Desktop a6530f Pavilion, new hard drive and upgrade to Windows 7

  I have a desktop Pavilion a6530f with Vista.  My hard drive has been the production of errors, so I bought a new hard drive.  The original hard drive works pretty well as I should be able to create a recovery with a usb flash drive media.  I want to install the new hard drive (Seagate 1 TB SATA 3), and then install Windows 7 upgrade on the new drive.  Will be the ASUS M2N68 - LA / Narra3-GLBE motherboard supports SATA 3 (SATA 2 pilot courses)?  If Yes, where can I get the drivers?  Is there a Web page on the HP site for upgrade to Windows 7 on a new hard drive?  Or I just follow the guests after boot of the Windows 7 upgrade disc and enter the code of Vista product from the label on the side of the PC?

  Here are the specifications of your desktop HP Pavilion a6530f. Based on the specifications, this model shipped from the factory with Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 64-bit installed. This model supports the use of disks SATA 3, however transfer speeds will be limited to the rates for the motherboard SATA 2. No special drivers are required. Seagate 1 TB SATA 3 drive should work fine on this computer, but you may have problems using your HP recovery discs if the new drive is a Format "Advance" AF drive.

  It is unlikely that you will be able to create a recovery media on a USB FlashDrive with this computer. In my view, that this model only supports the creation of recovery DVDs.

  You have a choice of a couple of paths when it comes to the installation of Windows on your computer with a new hard drive installed.

  (1) use your HP Vista recovery disks to install Vista... This may or may not work depending on the new hard drive installed. Then, upgrade to Windows 7 using the upgrade disc and the Windows 7 product key printed on the certificate of authenticity provided with the Windows 7 upgrade disk. (Note: the key of Vista with Windows 7 will not work)

  (2) If you don't mind losing the "value-added" software HP originally installed on the computer, you can install Windows 7 without using Vista installed first. Install Windows 7 using the upgrade disc and the Windows 7 product key printed on the certificate of authenticity provided with the Windows 7 upgrade disk. (Do not enter the key during the installation of the window) (Note: the key of Vista with Windows 7 will not work)

  In both cases just follow the prompts as needed. I suggest to use Windows 7 SP1, because it seems to be more compatible with the new material, including readers of the AF.

  Please see HP - upgrade to Windows 7 customer care using basic upgrade or install Windows 7. Please see HP Forum - how to install Windows 7 without the disc for useful information and download for Windows 7.

• Installed new hard drive on laptop with Windows 7 can install Windows XP on external hard drive and plug it into USB?

  Original title: Win7 Pro + HD Ext different OS
  I just installed a new hard drive in my laptop with Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.
  Would it not be possible to install WIn XP or Win 98 + older software (Win 98 or XP) on an external hard drive, then plug it into USB, laptop, in order to run old programs of 16-32 bit?

  It would be best to run Windows 98 or XP in a Virtual Machine, if you need to run older programs.

  You can use a free software such as Oracle VirtualBox or VMware Player:

• If I bought a new internal hard drive, can I transfer windows hard drive fom that came from the computer to the new, or do I have to buy another software package full of windows?

  What should I do to get windows vista on the new hard drive on the old, because I would like to upgrade to windows 7 since vista when I transferred transversely to the new.

  Your license of Vista will be OK to reinstall it on a hard drive replacement on the same computer.

  Hard disk manufacturers provide normally cloning software to do what you want to do.

  Look at your new Hard Drive manufacturer's Web site.

  Or there are 3rd Party software (cost the same money if): http://www.acronis.com.au/homecomputing/products/trueimage/

• new hard drive, how to reinstall OS x

  I have a new hard drive after a crash of the former. How can I install OSX top?

  You should be able to boot the Mac using recovery Internet if you updated the firmware to enable.

  OS X: on OS X Recovery - Apple Support

  If you don't have to update the Firmware to allow it to use the Internet in recovery, you need to use the installation provided with the Mac DVD.

  Either way, you start the Mac.

  Open disk utility and format the drive under OS X Extended journaled.

  Then, quit disk utility and reinstall OS X.

  Who will install the operating system on the Mac (likely Lion).

  You can then improve it to El Capitan.

  If you have a Time Machine backup, you can restore it in recovery from the Internet instead of reinstalling the operating system.

• New hard drive, need to install Windows.How to do?

  I installed a new hard drive in my Toshiba laptop. I've had Windows 8 before and would like it installed again, but don't know how? Buy a disc?

  You can download the files to install Microsoft here, but that will not include the special Toshiba drivers and software.  Without the special software of Toshiba, will not work a lot of things on your computer, such as your video driver and keyboard/trackpad.   You may be able to download the Toshiba drivers later on the Toshiba site.

  It would be better to just get the official installation disc Toshiba Windows 8, Toshiba can send you if you call them.

• New HARD drive - how to install Windows?

  Hey guys,.

  I have a problem with my Dell Dimension 9150. A friend of mine gave me as a gift, because I built his new computer. We put his HARD drive in his new computer.

  The problem is: there is no CD of his computer.

  I have the original Windows XP and Windows MCE and CD licenses. The Dimension has a MCE key so I would like to install MCE.

  After installing a new HARD drive, I tried to install Windows. BIOS shows me the HARD drive. When I start the installation of Windows and choose "Windows Installer", I get to the screen where I can choose, what partition I would use. But installing Windows shows me no HARD drive!

  Don't know if I need SATA drivers? If I should need it, where can I find them? And how to get them in the Windows installation? I know that I can load pressing F6, but I don't have a floppy device.

  Would be great, if someone could help me.

• HP Pavilion dv6 new HARD drive

  Hi guys... the hard drive of my HP Pavilion dv6 was broken and its not detectable more... my question is... can I replace the hard drive of my HP Dv6 with any brand? I still have my recovery upwards... Please answer asap thnx

  Hello

  Your not limited to any manufacturer of player, so you are free to choose the HARD drive you want.  The only point to keep in mind is to buy a replacement of equal capacity drive (or slightly larger) to the original - installing a lower capacity drive may cause problems when using recovery discs to reinstall the operating system.

  Kind regards

• Pavilion g: new hard drive

  Hello. I ', m get the imminent hard drive failure message and have run smart diagnostics that breaks down the hard drive. I tried the HP recovery discs and you have saved the data. I intend to put a new drive hard in, using the recovery disks and restore the data. The failed hard disk is 750 GB WD BPVT - 60 HXZ T1, rotational speed 5400 7500. I intend to replace with a WD 7500 BPVX, spindle speed 5 400 750 GB. What this will be compatible or should I look for exactly the same number of product?

  Thak you.

  Thank you. I'll close the debate and start another query about the RAM.
