• Re install Windows 7 on Ubuntu 13

  Dear all,

  I have a Pavilion laptop, G6, which was loaded with Windows 7. I recently tried to have Ubuntu 13 alongside my windows. I'm unable to start Windows 7, but Ubuntu works very well. The process of starting Windows can not find the DRIVE.

  I tried recovery and complete facilities of Windows, however, the process stops at the stage of Pharmasset player for Windows as the installer is unable to find the HARD disk drive. Now, I decided to have only Windows 7 and I want to know the steps involved in the HARD drive to NTFS format and assign the letter reader etc..

  Your help is very appreciated.

  Thank you

  Use the built in recovery partition to restore the windows, if the partition has been made inaccessible as a result of the installation of Ubuntu then see step below to create your own installation DVD. Note that the method of the "recovery Partition" includes drivers of devices needed for your PC to function properly, however, if you use the installation DVD, you'll need to download device drivers and install them manually.

• Is it possible to install Windows 7 and Ubuntu on the same partition?

  I'm a grad student and for my studies I need to ubuntu and Windows the long withit. Unfortunately in my laptop that only one partition is free. I would like to install Ubuntu inside Windows. Is this possible?

  No, this isn't a plausible scenario, the two operating systems use different file systems, Windows 7 uses NTFS and Ubuntu uses ext4.  Even if they use a common file system, it would still not be recommended.  If you have enough free space on the disk, you can shrink the partition, and then create a new partition on free space for Ubuntu, note that it still may be a bit difficult to implement correctly, you must have a knowledge base of the operation between the MBR and the boot so that it works correctly on the same hard disk.

  Have you considered installing Ubuntu in a virtual environment in Windows 7?  I think that this may be a better option.  Personally, the engine virtual without going I prefer VirtualBox , but some prefer VMware Player , which is also very popular.

  The upgrade to Windows XP?

  Please read these instructions carefully and completely before you begin installing Windows 7: there are important steps that you must follow to upgrade your PC from Windows XP to Windows 7 in order to preserve your files and settings.

  Before you begin, you'll need to backup all your data to an external storage device, and you will need all the installation discs for the programs that you want to keep. Please make sure that you have an external hard drive (see details below).

   

  More detailed instructions are available at windows.microsoft.com/upgrade-windows-xp. Here are the basic steps.

  1. start Windows Upgrade Advisor (windows.microsoft.com/upgradeadvisor) to see if there are known issues that may affect the installation and the question of whether you should install the version of 32 or 64 bit Windows 7.

  2 back up your files and settings on an external hard drive using Windows Easy Transfer (windows.microsoft.com/windows-easy-transfer). If you do not have an external hard drive, you will not be able to use Windows Easy Transfer. Alternatively, you can copy the files you want to keep on a USB stick, CD or DVD.

  3. you will need to manually reinstall your programs, such as Microsoft Office, after I installed Windows 7. Gather the installation for your programs and all partner/license product key discs. You may be able to download programs from the Internet. For example, Windows Live Messenger can be installed from the download.live.com/messenger.

  4. Insert the Windows 7 DVD in your PC. When asked "which type of installation you want. Click on "Custom (advanced)."

• Satellite u300 (PSU30E) - how to install Windows XP?

  My Vista broke down so I removed and installed ubuntu, which works very well. However, I would like to install a windows on this as well. Because I lost my disk of vista I tried with XP. It worked fine with virtualbox virtualization but when I tried to install it properly it worked as it is enjoyable. I got an error message during the installation process «Setup has not found any hard drive» I tried "slipstreaming" a storage on the installation as disk driver advised on this article:

  http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows/resolving-Setup-did-not-find-any-hard-disk-drives-during-Windows-XP-installation/

  But laptop refuses to install from the newly formed disc and if I was still facing the same problem. Another option that is described in the article was to disable the native control of SATA BIOS. However, my laptop only has trusted Core BIOS Phoenix that do not allow to make these changes, and if I read between the lines of this topic:

  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=175764

  .. There is no way to access this kind of parameters with my current BIOS. So my question is then. Is it really impossible to install windows XP on this computer without floppy drive where you could put a SATA driver or is it possible to work around this problem? Vista is such a disappointment to me that I might have to consider buying windows 7 if it does not seem likely that XP starts to work, and in this case, I am afraid that the power of this machine is not sufficient for this operating system.

  All good advice about what to do?

  Hi Kylanmies,

  The magic word is Intel Storage Manager. This package contains the SATA drivers you need, and you are able to install Windows XP.

• Can I install windows 7 on the superdive replacement hard drive

  Hello people,

  Recently I replaced the drive of my macbook pro 13 inch mid-2012 with an adapter (caddy tray) to put in a second hard drive (500 GB todhiba).

  Now I am trying to install windows 7 with bootcamp (on an os x 10.9.5, bootcamp 5.1.2), but when I boot from the usb device, when windows ask me which drive I want to install it, it says: windows cannot be installed to this disk, drive must be formatted ntfs + your computer hardware seem unable to run windows 7 check your system components and try again.

  I've tried several things: the direct USB win7 reformat, delete the partition, create partition... still no luck.

  Of in osx: reformat the disk with unallocated space (MBR) and try again to install direct USB... had the same error messages.

  I even tried to install Ubuntu gnome rather with a live usb works but all I get when holding the option button while booting is my Macintosh HD, the drive appears.

  Can someone give me about workaround or even show me the way? I am out of ideas now.

  Thank you very much

  Simon.

• G3 book Z 17: Z book G3 default to install linux (Fedora or Ubuntu)

  I got a new Z book G3 which came with pre-installed Windows 10. It has two discs. The first

  a rotation 1 TB drive and the other is a 256 GB SSD. Nothing is on the SSD.

  I want to create a dual-boot machine with Fedora Core 24 as the other OS.

  I resized the Windows partition using disk management, and which seems to have been successful, because I can still start Windows 10.

  I tried to install 22 CF and various versions of CF 24, as well as Ubuntu 16.04 without success. I use CF iso DVD in a DVD USB drive as the installation media.

  The installation of live meda CF disk will well up to a point. The last line printed on the screen of the installer is always:

  [OK] Has started the user for UID 1000 Manager

  Then it hangs forever.

  There are hundreds of lines before this line, but I can't understand how to capture them. The lines just above the failure are:

  [OK] Created user slice slice of liveuser

  From the user for UID 1000 Manager

  [OK] Started user liveuser Session 1

  I've got Secure Boot disabled and Legacy Boot enabled in BIOS.

  I also tried the installation option low-resolution graphic "Troubleshooting" of the iso FC DVDs. even result.

  I checked that the integrity of the iso installation using SHA256SUM.

  I had similar problems (not identical) with Ubuntu.

  Can someone has suggestions for how I install linux on this book Z?

  Chad

  I now 16.04 Ubuntu and CentOS 7 installed next to Windows 10.

  For other linux users who want to install write on computers HP Z book G3, here's a recap of what I've done for activating facilities:

  1. Ubuntu LTS 16.04. Installed using iso DVD via DVD USB drive. To install, enter the BIOS (hit escape repeatedly just after switching on). Choose settings BIOS or similar, set install from file, then find the correct file for the USB key.

  Ubuntu installation screen is normal and informs you how to access the Setup command line. Do it and add "nomodeset" to the command line, near "ro" and "calm". Proceed with the installation. Once installed, you need to change the set grub to include 'nomodeset' as a standard kernel option. Edit /etc/grub.d/10_linux and add "nomodeset" just before "ro". There is probably a better way.

  2 centOS-7. I ended up creating a USB bootable using dd and a downloaded iso file. See

  https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey. During installation, you must enter the BIOS as in (1) above. Once you start from the file, you will be presented with a mutilated wishes installation screen. You can always change the Setup command line by using 'e '. Add "nomodeset" as before, then press F10. Everything should be normal after that, you will see the graphical installation of CentOS screens. Unlike Ubuntu, once you have installed CentOS, you don't need to edit the grub implemented. I have no idea why. (I'm in over my head here).

  3. fedora Core 24. Without success to report, but now that I have Ubuntu and CentOS, alongside W10, I have need to pursue this further at the moment. I suspect the steps in (2) above, or the like, will work. You will need to "fly blind" when editing of the Setup command line and can be change grub after installation.
