I did a factory reset, now I can't install Windows 7 (I have my OEM installation disc)

My ride was originally under Vista (AKA, the nightmare!)  I did the Vista updates (including 2 service packs) and now when I go to install my original OS drive for Window 7 Home Premium, it says: "this software can run on this hardware.  I've been for 2 years before I messed up there, TOTALLY!

Any help would sure be appreciated: funniest?  He recovered Windows 8 and running 'on the SAME material"what am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance ;)

Could you give your full system specs?

If you have devices non-essential tied to the machine, unplug them.

If you have compatible hardware and your computer still stops responding, disable any unnecessary material. Remove (USB) universal serial bus devices. Remove or disable network cards, sound cards and cards of the series; and then restart the installation.

  • Messed up graphics card, now I can't start windows. .

    Messed up graphics card, now I can't start windows. said the plug to the/windows/system32/system address, or something like that, is missing or corrupted. said to run the installation disk, I don't have it. Needhelp, VERY VERY important files on my drive.

    Installing ubuntu natty to edit files, but I would have my back configuration, all that. anyway to fix it?

    NEVER begin to solve this problem with KB307545, and if you have no disk, you won't get a lot anyway.

    I guarantee engineers from Microsoft technical support that I can recreate this problem to approximately, half break you in 1 minute your XP CD and then you put challenge to fix it without the help of KB307545.  It is unlikely that the manufacturer will send you an XP installation disc.

    Looking at HP/Compaq, Dell and IBM just today, they say generally that they have stopped shipping XP CD in 2005 (6 years ago) and you can't order them on their website or through the support.  But sometimes you can get a part number and buy a CD to install XP from third-party suppliers to find research on the Internet.  Prices range from $49 to $ 200 USD.

    Knowing this, maybe it's time to STOP suggesting how to contact the vendor for installation of XP Media?  It's a good 'out' when you don't know what to do, but this isn't a useful suggestion.

    It could facilitate a resolution of the problem faster with less cycles message if you are trying to tell us you see the exact error message.

    Is this something like this:

    Windows XP could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM

    If you want to use Ubuntu or something similar to copy your important files to a safe place, it is a good idea, but you should always be able to repair your XP system.

    What you need to do is to make a bootable CD of XP (no XP media required) Recovery Console to run chkdsk /r on your system.  Here's how:

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination? (This includes the plug pulling, buttons power and removing the battery).

    These can cause corruption in the file system that must be fixed before you do anything else.

    If none of these events occurred (or even if they have not taken place), you must verify the integrity of your file system before anything else (especially "try" things).

    There is zero logic to begin to try to begin to try to modify or copy files to a hard drive that has a corrupted file system, so this must first be fixed using the XP chkdsk program and run chkdsk on your hard drives may solve your problem completely.

    Use the XP Recovery Console to check the file system on your HARD drive and fix the problems and then try to start your system - this may be all you need to do.  Or, you are welcome to just start trying things that might work.

    Boot into the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD.

    If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget.

    This is not the same as recovery disks that might have come with the acquisition of the system store.

    You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

    The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

    xp_rec_con. ISO

    Download the ISO from here:

    http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

    Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

    http://www.ImgBurn.com/

    When you install ImgBurn, DO NOT install the Ask toolbar.

    Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

    http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

    It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

    You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

    When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

    Press any key to boot from CD...

    Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

    Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

    Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

    You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

    You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

    C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

    The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

    For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

    A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

    In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

    Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

    Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

    CHKDSK C: /r

    Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

    It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

    You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

    Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

    You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.
