I was referred to this site. Problems with installing Windows on the new drive.

Greetings!

I just installed a new hard drive on my Mini 311 1037. I bought the HP recovery discs. The operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium (I guess it was the correct operating system for that computer). The installation seemed fine, but after installing the drivers, I get the message, "Windows Setup could not configure windows to run on a hardware on this computer."  Then after the restart, after the initial windows screen, I get a message that says "Windows cannot complete the installation. To install Windows on this computer, run the Setup again. "I atempted to iireinstall 3 times. All diagnostic tests are good: the hard drive, the memory. I have no idea what to do next. Help, please?

If you can read the Microsoft Windows 7 of 25-character license key, you can download a Windows 7 ISO file to burn to a DVD or USB flash drive. The version must match that's installed on your PC as shown on the sticker COST Microsoft fixed on the bottom of the laptop. Like Windows Home Premium.

Links to downloads of Windows 7 ISO files:

http://www.mydigitallife.info/official-Windows-7-SP1-ISO-from-Digital-River/

Use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to convert the ISO file you download. Link and instructions below. You need to a DVD + R or DVD - R. Or a flash drive 4 GB to use the USB method.

http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool#installation

Use 25 characters on the COA key to activate the installation.

The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

Then, go to the page support and driver to install the drivers you need.

  • Problem with installing Windows on a hard drive, HARD drive does not get detected after installation

    Original title: help with hard drive of the computer.

    Flow of the problem:

    My aunt tried to install windows 7 on the previous copy of windows 8. Needless to say that it doesn't work and it has messed up the hard drive. So, I bought a vacuum. I formatted the hard drive using my other windows computer to have 2 partitions: a boot partition and system partition, and then used the program WinToUSB to install windows on the hard disk. The reason I did it is, because no matter how many times I changed the BIOS in my laptop of aunts, it wouldn't boot from the DVD player to load the windows software. After a few hours, I found WinToUSB. Once windows has been installed, I plugged it into the laptop. For a few hours, I didn't know what to do, because the computer does not recognize the hard drive (he said: "Not detected"). I decided to start from legacy, and then the screen deals

    «intell...» »

    and a bunch of dates, etc all the stuff on the screen to load legacy if you know what I mean.

    He said "not plugged in the media. Check the power cord.

    Then quickly changed screen before I can read almost anything and it goes to the normal windows screen black (with 4 colors). I said to myself, how can he be loading if the hard drive is not detected... Once it is loaded, he brought me to the blue screen (blue screen of death, if you want) I turned the computer on again, always noticing the hard drive was not detected. I ran all the recovery/repair options I could and turned off the laptop. I came back a few hours ago and I loaded the computer again and went into the BIOS.  He said that the hard drive has been detected and said the news about this, as usual. However, at the start of the legacy of windows loading screen, it said still not detected.  I then started to windows to see since it is now detected if that fixes the blue screen. Yet, there is no. I tried to go to the normal windows and screen remains blue. any ideas?

    Hello Chris,

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.

    According to the description, it seems that Windows was not properly installed on the hard drive. I'm not sure how to work the software from third-party manufacturers WinToUSB and reliable installation process is. Microsoft does not recommend using any third party tool to install Windows on your computer, the use of these third-party tools can cause serious damage to your computer.

    I would say to format the hard drive once more and try to install Windows through normal Windows installation process.

    Refer to the section "using the installation option custom if no operating system is installed" in the thread below.

    Installing and reinstalling Windows

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/installing-reinstalling-Windows#1TC=Windows-7

    If you are not able to install Windows on the hard drive at all, I suggest you to contact the hard drive manufacturer to obtain a diagnosis of material performed on the hard drive.

    Do not hesitate to write back for any further assistance with Windows, we will be happy to help you.

  • Problem with installing windows xp the drive mounted iso in windows 7

    Hello everyone, I am currently using Windows 7 and I would like to install Windows xp. However, I do not have a CD player, so I just have to install the .iso files. When I mounted the image Poweriso .iso file and run the installer there, he opened a window with a few options to choose. And I was surprised to see that the option "Install Windows XP" is grayed out, which means that it is not available. Can someone help me to activate Setup option to install the OS?

    You can see the screenshot here: http://www.mediafire.com/?h6v5l3qnx6mfvt8

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Best regards

    Hello

    You cannot boot from the iso mounted, you must have iso burned to the disc.

  • Re: Problems with Win7 boot on the new Satellite L670-17 x

    Hi guys,.

    Three days ago I got my new Toshiba Satellite L670-17 x. Installing Win7 was not a problem, but now (after the start of the third or fourth) I suddenly a big trouble with the operating system.

    When I turn on my laptop, it loads up until I can see the Windows loading screen. Then - both - the laptop stop working... I can only see the loading screen, but nothing happens. Turns off the light litte to the frontsite (which shows that the specifications of load/work). No error message.

    I want to avoid using the Toshiba HARD drive recovery, because I saved (important) documents on the desktop (I know... not very smart). I ask you to help me with my problem.

    (By the way: I already tried Windows repair system, System Restore memory diagnostic tool and start Windows Mode without failure).

    Thank you very much for your answers!

    If you cannot boot OS in safe mode, that, in my opinion, you have a big problem. I'm afraid only installation of HARD drive recovery will help you in this m.
    The question is what to do with this data.

    Perhaps you should remove the HARD drive and connect it to another computer to have full access to all of these external data. Copy them, replace the HARD drive in your Satellite and install the OS by using HARD drive recovery option.

  • Problem with PSE - 2 and the new 1.5 TB drive

    Hi all. First of all, I use my PSE - 2 recorded for several years without problem. AMD Athlon 7750 2.7 Ghz, 2.0 G memory bicoeur. WD 1 .5TB primary and WD 500 GB secondary drive. Win XP SP3. I recently had a disk fails and installed a new freshly formatted WD 1.5 TB as my boot drive. New installation of Windows XP and updates. When I install the elements, it now seems to install fine. The problem comes when I try to run the first time that I get "could not initialize Photoshop Elements because scratch disks are full '. Then elements shut, not allowing no not me nothing to do with configuring internal program. I tried unistalling and installing on the 500 GB drive, but still not the same error. I increased my page file memory does anyone know of a problem with the installation of the elements on a large drive or can anyone offer a possible solution to what I see? Thanks in advance for suggestions...


    JohnR.

    I think Barbara meant photoshop 7, which was a little before pse2.

    If you hold them Alt + right Ctrl keys after starting pse2, a dialog box

    should appear allowing you to choose the drive working (keep holding

    keys until the dialog box is displayed)

    If you have a recovery partition on your hard drive, try this to choose

    the drive working, then exit pse2. Then restart pse2 and

    Preferences > Plug-ins and Scratch Disks choose your hard drive regularly to the scratch disk.

    Newer versions of the EPS, the newer less than 3 or 4 don't seem to have this problem.

  • Satellite P300D - problem with reboot after update the HARD drive

    Hello

    I have laptop Satellite P300D - 12 c and recently, I put a new hard drive, the Seagate momentus 7200 RPM 2.5 "500 GB. It works well, but I have a strange problem; normally when I reboot the laptop when it will close something sounds, in the figurative sense I could say "something moves" for a bit in the DVD - ROM drive and shuts down and then restarts.

    Now, when the reboot happens to the part of the dvd - rom drive, I described above it stucks there... "something is happening" on the dvd - rom drive as trying to permanently access a dvd or something and he does the same thing until I force it to shut down by pressing the appropriate button. It happens once in two attempts to restart.

    Does anyone have a solution or a tip or something? If you do not understand something to tell me,

    Thank you very much

    Hello!

    I agree with Akuma. Maybe the drive is loose and so you should try re-allocation of places there.
    Maybe it works

    And updated the BIOS, you can find the Toshiba site:

  • Problem with installing windows

    Hello

    I bought my turn dell Jan/13 with original operating system (Windows 8). Last week, I got some problems with his knees. so I decided to re - install the operating system and upgrade to windows 10. I downloaded the 8.1 Windows and installed successfully but the problem is it of not accept my key. What should I download windows 8 and install it again. or is there a way around?

    You need not go to 8.1 Windows if you want to go to Windows 10. use of creating media tool to update your system.

    If you can't get Windows 10 to get 10 app windows or Windows update, you always have the option of ISO to upgrade.

    Download Windows 10 media creation tool

    Simply select this option of PC/improvement.

    After you download the Windows 10 installation files using this tool, you can upgrade your existing 10 Windows operating system, or you can create the bootable USB drive or DVD to install Windows 10 key later. You can also save the installation files to the ISO in offline mode file format, if you wish.

    My drive hard netbook was crushed just out of warranty and I na not create a recovery disk.  For the new hard drive that I have to buy a new windows XP complete, or I can download a file init or something to run from my portable CD player or flash drive and just use my product code XP for installation?

    Help!

    If you can find someone with the exact same OEM disc for their netbook, you can make a copy on a USB stick and install it. But you'll need your product key. If you can't find the exact OEM copy, you will need to purchase a commercial XP version, IF you can find one.
