Install Win 7 in Raid

• Z220 CMT: firmware Win 8 factory 7 and install new boot disks (RAID 1)

  My Z220 came with the copy of Win 7 Pro/64-bit factory-loaded, lowered to win 8. The supplied HD is just a Seagate 500 MB to 6 MB/s SATA drive.

  I want to change my boot disks for a pair of WD series RE 1 TB disks in a RAID1 configuration.

  The 220 came with a series of restore disks: disks of recovery system 1,2 and 3 for Win 7 and a DVD of recovery Driver for WIn7 and WIn8, as long as the DVD of the operating system - Windows 8 Pro.

  So, if I install the pair of RAID array using the Intel RAID software, can I then use CD Win7 game to restore the Win7 system to the new RAID array? Is there a potential problem of activation here?

  My other idea was to use Clonezilla to clone the current Win7 system on the RAID array, but I don't know if it will work, as the discs in question are not the same...

  If you look at your partitions on the disk HP of the computer/manage/storage/disk management you should see a hidden partition which you can draw the active OS itself and also to make an installation USB or CD/DVD set.  But you already have those in hand, I believe.

  The restore thing can be confusing.  What I would do, is get a stunt or set of disks drive and start experimenting.  One of the disks is an "Activator" disc which you start with, and it gives you instructions as you go along with a clean installation, including installation RAID or simple installation on hard/SSD options.  Just keep your 500 GB out of the workstation and work with the readers of stunt.  For those, I liked the 80 GB WD Velociraptors... two correspondent off eBay are cheap, and they are quick to reformat/load/erase.  It will start to make sense fairly quickly.  For RAID works, you can experiment on 2 160 GB drives, but a full install of W7 with Office 2007 is less than 45 GB.  You just start from this first optical disc and start digging.

  The thing about the COA... When you perform a clean discs HP restore, as if your HP hard drive has failed, the process puts on a HP OEM COA serial number that is different from what is on your COA sticker.  For example, you can clone a facility and it will work on an another Z220 CMT without activation.  It checks only the BIOS of the workstation to make sure that it is a legal installation.  If you try the same thing with a W7Pro64 OEM System Builder build the clone will work but will recognize that this isn't the same job that it has been installed on original and you give a few days to feed another series of COA number.

  A clone must come from the installation of restore HP OEM with the internal controls of HP and OEM HP serial number to make it work on another box without activation problems.  Stick to right side of things and you'll be fine.

• Clean install Win XP

  Location:
  I have a Sony VGC - 830G provided with Windows XP3 OEM preinstalled. (IOW about 6 years).

• Boot camp install Win 7 on iMac 27 "(ultimo 2009)"

  Hello

  I am experiencing a problem installing Win 7 on my iMac 27 "(ultimo 2009)." I got this version installed two years without a problem, but now it concerns me.

  When you create the partition, bootcamp and starting from the Win 7 DVD I am able to install it without problem. When the PC reboots after you download windows support on my USB, install windows and is about to start Windows for the first time, it freezes and the screen is all black.

  I read on the support site you need to create and image of the Win 7 dvd which should be used in conjunction with boot camp, but I can't choose this option (it simply is not here) "disk image", when using boot camp.

  So what to do?

• Cannot install Win 8 - Satellite Pro C660 does not detect HARD drive

  Hello

  My HARD drive died, so I decided to upgrade my Satellite Pro C660 - 1 9 to an SSD.
  I made a USB bootable with Win8 and starts very well.

  The problem is that it does not detect my SSD, so I can proceed with the installation.
  SSD appears in BIOS but not in Windows Installer.
  He said that there is a missing driver.

  I downloaded the AHCI drivers (XP, only ones available) and even in this case, after you have selected the only rider that appears, it says no new device found.

  I tried to change the SATA from AHCI mode to compatibility mode and it's the same thing...

  What can I do?

  Thanks for the help.
  Best regards
  Bruno Moreira

  More old Windows XP need a driver AHCI Intel's but I think this isn't a problem with SATA driver missing because as far as I know Windows 8 as well as Win 8.1 already contains the drivers to recognize the SSD or HARD disk drive.
  In addition, the installation of the OS should be possible even if the driver would be added for this procedure, you must use the "compatibility" mode
  As you say, the compatibility mode is not working too, so I think there is another problem.

  However, page driver Toshiba also provides a driver Intel RST (Intel Rapid Storage Technology) (Windows 8 - updated) you can try to add during the installation of the OS.

  But I m wondering if you would be able to install this Win 8 on common SATA HDD.
  Have you tried to format the SSD using a different computer, then install Win 8?
  Give it a try.

• Impossible to install Win 7 on Satellite C50-A-1JT

  Hello

  You just buy new C50-A-1JT which came with an installation of Linux Mint, I won't, because it's for my mother in law who barely knows windows, and even less to ask him to learn to use Linux.

  I tried to make a bootable USB key with win 7 installation (that I would do on a normal pc).
  The windows installer seems to load fine, but when I press Windows Installer, I get "a required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing. If you have a driver disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now. »

  The problem is that my laptop did not contain driver disks, so I wonder what I can do to install Win 7 on it.

  Thank you
  Mark

  About this error message, see Microsoft Knowledge base article:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2755139/

  This problem occurs for the following reasons:
  The installation DVD is removed during the installation process.
  A bad quality DVD has been used to create the installation DVD.
  The speed at which the installation DVD is burnt was too fast.
  The DVD drive cannot read media.
  The ISO file is corrupted.

  Given that you don t use the installation disc but a USB flash memory stick, I suppose that the image on the USB flash memory stick file is corrupt or there is a problem with the support of USB flash memory

  ONLY THING I CAN THINK OF IS HARD DRIV IS GOOSED, BUT I DON'T WANT TO REPLACE SO EASILY CORRECTED.

  Hi mate

  I know that you would not be able to install Win XP without previous installation of the SATA driver.
  Another option might be changing the SATA mode in the BIOS
  Go to BIOS and change SATA AHCI compatible mode mode.
  Save the changes, and then try again to install Win XP.

  PS: it s recommended using a Win XP with at least SP2 or SP3 disk
