Install Windows 7 on a mod of Pavilion. a1620y CTO

I would like to know if Windows 7 will be installed on my computer HP Pavilion CTO a1620y. Currently, it has XP Pro.  It seems that the system would work, but I would like to be certain if possabil.

Here is a link to all the PC a1620 I could find.

http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/pfinder?cc=us&DLC=en&LC=en&tool=&query=A1620

Looking at the material in these models, they could run windows 7.

Run this utility:

If it says your PC has the same Intel 945 chipset as the other models, so it should be able to run W7 very well.

There is no virtualization technology (VT), but you probably don't need it anyway.

Here is some info on VT:

    Hi, Henrik:

    Specifications of your PC seem to meet all of the hardware requirements to be able to fully run W7.

    P D 915 processor is capable of 64-bit.

    ( (4M-Cache-2_80-GHz-800-MHz-FSB http://ark.intel.com/products/27515/Intel-Pentium-D-Processor-915-)

    I recommend you max on your memory to 4 GB as a 64-bit operating system requires more memory to run a 32 bit OS.

    A 32 bit OS will perform better on a PC that is running less than 4 GB of memory, unless you need a 64-bit system to run 64-bit programs.

    I would also start the W7 Upgrade Advisor to confirm what I posted.

    Currently, it is pre-installed with Windows 8.1with Bing 32bits.

    Come on HP, I need your advice please.

    Hello:

    There is a very good reason that XP does not install.

    Intel did not provide any sata ahci drivers for the chipset that has your laptop.

    That's why you got the BSOD.  XP cannot find the hard drive.

    The latest processors from Intel-based notebook chipsets which had support for XP have laptops with the 7 Series chipsets.

    Not to mention the fact that you wouldn't find any graphic or wireless drivers for XP even if you can get it (that you can't) install.

  • After installing windows XP Pro my computer does not start correctly

    After you have installed Windows XP Pro on my HP Pavilion (updated to XP home), my computer will not end the restart process.  I have repeatedly in a loop once the blue screen with the HP logo.  When this has happened before after installing a pack of updates for XP Home, we just started in safe mode and then had it will restart at an earlier time, thus eliminating the updates.  However, now when I try to start in safe mode, I get an error message that says: "Windows Setup cannot start in safe mode" and I leave safe mode.  We hoped that by installing Windows XP Pro, this problem should go away.  Can anyone help?  I have read several other entries in the forum for similar problems, but they all have to do with updates.  This is the first time I was not able to use safe mode, so now I'm stuck.  I hope that I can avoid having to perform a full system recovery, since it is a long involved process and having once before, I always felt the same restart problems after installing updates.

    PA bear,

    Thank you for help... After reading several posts in the forum, one of them reminded people to check with the manufacturer of the computer so that possible solutions... and this is the solution here, I wish I thought of him earlier... I did a system recovery to remove the Windows HP Pro and return to the original version of the default value.  Then I went to the HP site and downloaded the patch according to their directions.  Problems fixed! :-)

    Any PERSON HAVING HARD REBOOT YOUR HP PAVILION (with an AMD processor) after you install Windows XP service pack 2 or 3 updates:

    HP has a patch that solved all my problems.  Clearly, service packs contain information for Intel processors that is in conflict with AMD processors in many HP Pavilion desktop computers.  You can go to their customer service solutions website and download the patch.  Since I did it, I had no other problems. I wish just that I had discovered the solution until I had to do a full system recovery.

    If your computer hangs on reboot 'loop', see if this info. HP will help you:

    The computer restarts after a Stop error message display 0x0000007E (after update with Service Pack 3 for Windows XP)

    If you have had problems with XP updates, including service pack 2 or 3, try this page:

  • Portege M400 - cannot install Windows XP on the new HARD drive

    Hello here is my problem,

    I bought an older Portegre M400 E, without a HARD drive. So I buy a new Samsung 400 GB. I looked in the Bios (ACPI BIOS Version 3.40) and it is ok. He shows me the HARD drive with built in Assign LD - 0 status ONLINE, 400 GB size so it seems to be nice. Changed the matrix Raid, described in the manual, in condition to create 1Raid-0
    So, I want to boot from the Windows XP CD, not recovering my own.

    Windows open to the top and after a short period, the installation ends with the message that it is not any HARD drive. This I try sometimes :-( Hope someone can help me.
    Do not forget that I didn't have any HARD disk with the dates of the laptop.

    Thank you Carsten
    (Sorry my English is not so good Im from the Germany)

    Wilkommen!

    > Changed the matrix Raid, described in the manual, in condition to create 1Raid-0

    I don't know much about your model, but I think that something wrong with the raid in the Bios settings. What other options are available in the Bios for the State of the hard drive? I found the RAID driver on the Toshiba driver page. It is possible, that you can integrate in with a program called nlite Windows installation disc or install Windows as in compatibility mode, and install the Raid driver. then

    Hello

    Contacting ATI (AMD) would not help because you need a stamp certified HP to be able to run on your computer. My suggestion: check out the complete model (G6 is not a model) of your machine and go to the (x) HP to check. Many drivers have been downloaded in support of the sites for these days.

  • ACHI need driver to install windows XP on 8560p

    Hello

    Can someone please me with the right drivers to install windows XP in AHCI Mode?

    I've been busy for 2 days to try al the drivers that I can find, but none of them worked. They always end up in a blue screen.

    HP Elitebook 8560p

    Productnr: LG732ET #ABH

    According to cpu - z, the chipset is Intel's QM67.

    Thanks in advance

    Hello:

    The book tells you to install the Intel(r) ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller.

    Normally, the best thing to do before installing XP, is for looking at your AHCI controller in Windows 7 to see what name it is. Then you can easily get the good ACHI driver for it.

    So, if you still have your OS installed W7, or can pick it up and do the above, you can download the latest intel ACHI driver and choose the one you need.

    Download the latest drivers from Intel's CCIS on the site below:

    http://Downloadcenter.Intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?AGR=Y&DwnldID=19599&ProdId=3172&lang=eng&OSVersion=Windows%20XP * & DownloadType = drivers

    Another method of installing XP, would be to go into the BIOS of your laptop and, normally, in the device settings menu, change your SATA Native Mode or in disabled SATA or IDE emulation Mode. I can't find any info on the menus of setting BIOS 8560 except some information very general.

    Then you should be able to load XP and install the SATA ACHI drivers afterwards.

    You can read how to install later by reading this guide. Use the Intel download above, however.

  • HP Pavilion DV6 3122TX recovery deleted partition, need to install windows

    Hello
     
    I have a Pavilion DV6 3122TX laptop. System would block extensively when I ever access any file, was not a virus or whatever it is, I discovered it was the HD due to the error at startup screen "error of hard disk, hard drive 1 (3F1)", I ran all the auto controls and diagnostics but nothing improved. So I formatted the disc completely deleted all partitions even recoveries and other (my bad).

    My recovery disc can not be read by the laptop DVDRom Red flashes for a few seconds and then nothing happens, "said no system disk. Replace the disk and then pres any key blah blah blah... "The drive is fine I checked. I changed the boot options to boot from a CD/DVD internal.

    I need as soon as possible a working windows as a temporary solution. I can't install Windows 7, it seems because of some lock (turns on it was unable to detect the HARD drive). Windows XP cannot see the player because of the requirement of AHCI driver (cannot switch back to IDE) due to the lock of the BIOS. Then I tried the method of slipstream AHCI driver, now, here's my problem I just can't find the AHCI drivers for my laptop since I can not connect to Win to check with CPUz. Can someone direct me to text-mode drivers for this laptop at the wake in winxp x 86 using NliteOS. I'll take the laptop to be fixed at a service center next month, but now I need a solution. Even if you can fix my recovery solution, it would be great.

    I can access the hard disk using Linux. So the HARD drive is ok, please do not refer me to change the HARD drive that is not an option right now. (HARD drive was the problem)

    Sorry for this long post
    Thanks in advance...

    Hello

    Hard drive error, hard drive 1 (3F1) is the disk failure hard try loading in the Bios pass Diagnostics, perform the test, if it fails, you will need to replace the drive. In case your hard drive is not detected in the Bios, you must reinstall the part of the rear panel.

  • Recently installed Windows 7 on Pavilion dv6748us - internal microphone does not work

    I searched on the web, without success, to find how to solve this problem.

    I recently installed Windows 7, 32 bit, on laptop HP Pavilion dv6748us to my wife. Now its internal microphone does not work.

    Have got some advice "roadside" use a Windows Vista driver; Have no idea what is the driver or how to get it.

    Have found information about uninstalling driver realtek audio and reinstall an earlier version; Have no idea about it no more.

    Would appreciate an answer with a positive result.

    Thanks for any help.

    Hello:

    Looking at your system information, you may have one of two possible audio cards:

    Conexant HD audio or the RealTek HD Audio

    The fact that you could not install the RealTek HD audio driver tells me that you don't have a sound card RealTek. Check your device manager and look at your sound card and check what sound card you have.

    Here are the Vista 32 bit driver for the Conexant sound card:

    Here are the Vista 32 bit driver for the Realtek sound card:

    If you have the Realtek audio card, I would download and install the driver of more recent, HD directly from RealTek site:

    Accept the agreement, download and install one on the list. Maybe it has been updated to solve the problem you are experiencing.
