Impossible to reinstall Windows 7 starter edition get error - lack of operating system

I have a netbook from asus friends and the hard drive crashed so I put a new in it. But when I try to install the operating system from the recovery disk it always returns an error message that says: "press and key to boot from cd to dvd... lack of operating system. Can someone help?

I solved the problem by running killdisk and wiping the hard drive completely clean. Then I could reformat the hard disk.

  • Update Windows 7 starter edition to the 32-bit operating system to 64-bit?

    Hello people of the Internet,.

    I got a netbook for two years now and it came with Windows 7 starter.
    I like making videos in my spare time and require better editing in Windows Movie Maker software. However, obviously my operating system cannot manage a software proffesional like Premiere Pro or FinalCut etc so I tried to get a 64-bit operating system.
    Is this possible? I checked on my performance and Information Tools, and it said that my netbook is capable of a 64-bit operating system. Someone did he do and recommend? Or is it not plausible at all?
    All tips are welcome, I would rather you smart people tell me that it is rather than risk and regret. Thank you for your time.

    To be honest, I wouldn't consider running under Windows 7 64-bit on a system originally shipped with Windows 7 Starter. A Netbook is just for the weak to run Adobe Premier. (By the way, Final Cut Pro doesn't work on Intel based Macintosh under OS X, it is not compatible with Windows).

    You need a powerful computer or laptop desktop replacement.

    Personally, I use Adobe Creative Suite 6 on HP's EliteBook with Ivy Bridge generation processor 3, NVidia Quadro 2 GB of vRAM, 8 GB of DDR3 RAM, USB 3.0 Super Speed and sometimes he struggles.

    Now, imagine a Netbook designed for light web browsing, word processing and e-mail?

    You will need to do a clean install, there is no place on the way to upgrade Windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit.

    Using the disk of 64-bit Windows 7, install Windows 7 Windows Easy Transfer Utility from the DVD (to find it, simply navigate to x:\support\migwiz, "x:" is the name of your hard drive. (In this case, you will see a collection of files, the important"that you must search for and double-click is 'migsetup'.) run it and create a DAMP (Windows Easy Transfer file), if you have an external hard drive, you can access it later when you perform a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit disk so you can stored there.

    Once you have done this, just do a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit disc. In Windows 7 64 bit disk, start Windows Easy Transfer, follow the wizard screen, tap on which is stored the WET file (external hard drive) and it will restore your personal files and settings. Reinstall the applications needed.

    Hi BruceWalz,

    ·        What is the brand and model of the machine?

    ·        What is the full error message that you receive?

    a. you can disable the eSATA from the BIOS (Basic Input Output System) drive and then try to start the installation of Windows XP from the Windows XP disc.

    Note: Changing the BIOS / chipset can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/chipset can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    b. After you downloaded and installed the SATA drivers from the manufacturer's website, reactivate the eSATA drive.

    Hope the helps of information. Please post back and we do know.

  • My HP mini crashed today, I need to reinstall Windows 7 starter I have the product key

    My HP mini is a black screen and I do a new reinstall top can get instructions step on a clean install to start windows 7. I have my product key and and the external dvd drive to boot windows with. Is anyway that I can get help with this without charge for customer support.

    New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

    For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    If the recovery partition does not work, see the following resources:

    I upgraded my card mother cpu ram and hard drive. I reinstalled windows xp home edition has got all of the updates. After 9 latest updates download and installtion was going well until I rebooted the computer and go to page window showing all the icons that I get a blue screen and the computer restarts its self and does not stop. 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
    Amal-Microsoft Support.

  • kb2416471 install fails with 80070BC9 on Windows 7 Starter Edition.

    Hello.

    I have serious problems with the installation of .NET Framework 3.5.1 security update on my Asus Eee PC 901 running Windows 7 Starter edition.

    Whenever I try to install it, I get error 80070BC9. I tried to repair Windows Update, but it does not help.

    In some forums on the Internet, it is suggested to turn off .NET Framework 3.5.1 in Windows 7, but it is not possible to do this on Windows 7 Starter, given that this option is available in the Windows features.

    It's even more annoying because Windows will continue to try to install this update several times, every time I start the computer.

    Visit the Microsoft Solution Center and antivirus security for resources and tools to keep your PC safe and healthy. If you have problems with the installation of the update itself, visit the Microsoft Update Support for resources and tools to keep your PC updated with the latest updates.

  • HP Mini 110 windows 7 starter edition will not be upgraded to windows anytime

    Help! Can't get my HP Mini110 of windows 7 starter edition Home Premium. Got the key, but it is said that this key is not compatible with current windows and cannot be downloaded. What does that mean? How can I download and install this upgrade? I paid for it.

    Probably means that you have a copy of Windows 7 32 bit installed on your computer and you are trying to download and install a 64 bit version of Windows 7.

    You can't do an anytime upgrade from 32-bit to 64-bit. New ball game. Requires installation not an anytime upgrade.

  • Windows 7 Starter Edition does not recognize a hard drive WD

    Windows 7 Starter Edition does not recognize a hard drive WD, I used until last month. Device Manager sees it, he sees the USB controller (it lists as a mass storage device), but I can't access the information on the hard disk, or make use of the last backup. I tried to uninstall USB drives - it is not the thing. It gets listed under disk drives.

    Thanks for the reply.

    There was no error message: the device has been recognized (listed) by the USB controller and the Device Manager, but not by the management of the disks - so I couldn't access.

    I managed to fix the problem after:

    -J' scanned the computer (DELL Inspiron) with the Safety Scanner
    -J' completely uninstalled all the software associated with an external hard drive
    -J' uninstalled the USB controllers
    -reboot the system
    -reconnected the external HD
    -After gaining access to the drive, I installed the dedicated software

  • I have an Acer computer I want to do a total restore. It came with windows 7 starter edition, and then I bought Microsoft word for it. If Microsoft word will lose if I do the restoration?

    I have an Acer computer I want to do a total restore. It came with windows 7 starter edition, and then I bought Microsoft word for it. If Microsoft word will lose if I do the restoration?

    If you purchased Word on CD, it's no big deal; just reinstall it after the factory restore. If it was bought online, copy the file downloaded to a CD and then reinstall it later.

    Is there a particular reason, why you want to do a restore complete? Have you problems? If so, you can try asking here on how to fix them and do not have to do a restore, reinstall all your programs and all of the updates and service pack 1.

    on windows 7 starter edition how can I open an admin account, I have a standart account and I couldn't open any software on computer please help me.even change user account cannot be opened.

    Hi kuentin,.

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

    (1) - what do you mean you have only 1 user account?

    When you set up Windows, you will need to create a user account. This account is an administrator account to allow you to set up your computer and install any programs that you want to use. And that's why the user account you are using is the administrator account.

    There is no way that you can create an administrator account, or by using a Standard account.

    (2) are you having issues during installation of the software or opening it?

    (3) what exactly happens when you try to open the software application?

    (4) should be codes error or error messages, if any?

    (5) what software are you trying to install or open?

    I suggest you go to the link below and read for more information on user accounts.
