Install Windows 8 - cannot find my SSD disk hard - HP envy 4 ultrabook - 1046TX

I downloaded the upgrade of windows 8 for $14.99 and have managed to create a boot usb device. I was able to run the installer until the stage where windows has found hard drives. I have an SSD and windows is unable to find it during the installation. Can someone help me? I have a HP ENVY 4 ultrabook...

Same problem here. I think it is a driver problem. HP people are those who should solve. It seems that other people have the same problem (http://windows8forums.com/windows-8-installation-upgrade/11607-cant-install-win-8-hp-envy-4-1046tx.html). And someone has solved through HP!

  • Installing Windows said "we have found no disk drives. How can I get a storage driver?

    My hard drives of computers were completely destroyed by overhead sprinklers during a fire. Installing Windows said "we have found no disk drives. How can I get a storage driver? I can't go online until I have install windows. Thank you

    Hello

    So it does not start from the disc, but when you get to the part where it asks me to choose a disk to install Windows, you do not see something here, is that correct? Go to the menu of the Bios (tap button "F2" at startup to access the Bios), then Advanced and check what you show for the SATA/operating Mode option.

    Hello Keith,

    Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

    Thank you for details on the issue.

    This problem can occur if the storage controller and chipset drivers are not updated or due to incorrect BIOS settings.

Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

In addition, such a question may be related to UAC, I recommend you turn off UAC in Windows Vista, if you have installed security software, try uninstalling the security application as well.

  • HP Touchsmart 15R017dx: install windows 8.1 on new SSD from the recovery disk

    Hello

    I recently bought a 275 GB SDD to replace a Go 520 crushed SATA HDD. Because I don't have a recovery disk created, I ordered the HP Win 8.1 recovery disks. I followed the instructions and the Disk 1 formatting process completed successfully and I was prompted to insert disk 2. At this stage the process crashes after the dvd player starts rotating. Nothing I o will cause the process to continue.  The problem is the size of different readers?

    Thanks for any help.

    Hello:

    See if, by your own plain W8.1 installation media, you can reinstall Windows 8.1.

    https://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/Windows8

    The only downside is the OEM product key in the BIOS.

    However, there are workarounds like the one shown below to find out how to get the product key in the BIOS to work on your new installation...

  • Windows 7 cannot find the HP network printer to install.

    Original title: windows network printer problem 7 and HP

    It is rare that there is no option to specify an address

    Now that you know the address of printers, you can successfully ping it?

  • Clean install of windows 8 pro x 64 on a new ssd upgrade, I have windows xp x 32 on a disk hard available, which I no longer use, can I do this?

    I want to clean install windows 8 pro x 64 on a new ssd upgrade.

    I have windows xp x 32 on an existing hard drive which I no longer use, I can do this, that I can start the upgrade process, and then point the installation on the new SSD?
    I really don't want to install XP on the new SSD and am not bothered about keeping programs or settings

    How to do a clean install:

    Step 1: Use the upgrade wizard to describe the PC and pay the $40 (US)

    Step 2: When the 'Install Windows 8' message appears, select 'Install by creating media' to create a bootable USB key or .iso (a disk image) file.

    Step 3: Wait for the Wizard download Windows 8 Pro installation package and create the bootable media or .iso file. The flash player must be having 3 GB or more of free space available.

    Step 4: Burn the .iso file, if that's the path you have chosen, to a blank DVD.

    Step 5: Use this key USB or DVD to boot the PC.

    Step 6: When you get to the screen in the Setup program that asks, "which type of installation you want?" choose "custom".

    Step 7: Select a drive for the operating system partition in the next screen. At this point, you can create a new partition if there is enough space available or reformat the hard disk.

    Step 8: Proceed with the installation of Windows 8 Pro.

    You should probably do a phone activation after installation is complete.

    1. press the Windows key + X , and then click run, and then type: slui.exe 4

    2. then press the ENTER"" key.

    3. Select your "country" in the list.

    4. choose the option "activate phone".

    5. stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.

    6. explain your problem clearly to the support person.

  • Can I install Windows 10 on external USB SSD?

    Is it possible to install Windows (10) on a 3.0 SSD external? Bootcamp will allow me to select an external USB disk for installation of windows? I can't check myself right now because im currently waiting on a new SSD in the mail. It is possible, if difficult how is it?

    Thank you all

    Manager licensing Windows supports external drives under Windows Enterprise using Windows-to-Go. You can use a third-party software like Winclone or CampTune Clonezilla to move an image.

    Depending on the connection to the external drive, it may or may not work.

  • How to properly install Windows 8 on a hdd/ssd hybrid.

    I recently bought a hp pavilion ultrabook 14-b112eo (hybrid ssd/hdd), preinstalled with Windows8. I installed Ubuntu, by formatting first ssd and hard drive in gpatred (live-cd) and then installation. As there are a few problems driver on Ubuntu, I decided to reinstall Windows 8. I installed Windows on the ssd of 32 GB and then I used the hard drive in the home folder. The thing is that Windows 8 is pretty massive and I'm afraid that the storage space on my ssd won't be enough (after updates etc.), currently I have 10 GB of free.

    I read that you can RAID to two hard disks to BIOS, and then reinstall Windows. This will decrease the performance of my ssd or is there some properties of my computer that will be the largest part of the operating system during playback of the ssd?

    Furthermore, I can't disable legacy support from the BIOS more. If I do this, Windows will not start.

    If the system recovery was another partition on my hard drive I I deleted when I formatted my hard disks in Gparted? Who is quite likely to be the case. Check the hard drive to see if a recovery partition is stil present. If this is the case, you might be in luck.

  • How to install Windows 7 on a new SSD, Dell Windows 7 DVD

    I have a new SSD for my workstation Precision 7510.  I need to install windows 7 on it from the DVD provided by Dell.  The DVD has no drivers and so when I try and install, I get a message about "the installation media does contain not all drivers" and the installation will not allow me to continue.  Keep in mind that my new SSD has no partition recovery or in fact any partition.  I have a drivers Cab file and I also have this unpacked on a USB key, but it does not appear as a disk when I "Browse".  Neither the new SSD - t - there no partitions...

    Do I need to format the SSD drive first?

    Could someone tell me where I can get the drivers and all that forms, they must be in?  In other words, I need to burn it to a DVD, and what would the structure of directory?  Do I have to download all the drivers separately - there are a number of EXEs on the support site, or can I use the Dell Enterprise site CAB file?

    I tried various things now since a few days and I'm losing my grip on reality :)

    Thanks in advance.
