Installation of CS4 64 bit on Windows 7 to a custom drive letter

Hi all

Currently a user of CS3 on XP SP3 but who want to retire from my old computer and build a new machine of i7 running under Windows 7 64-bit and will upgrade to CS4 in order to run in 64-bit mode and take advantage of the features of GPU so more than 4gigs of memory!

Downloaded the demo for CS4 to take a glance at the program and more precisely the modalities installation instructions and was shocked to read that CS4 64-bit cannot be installed on the default drive (C:\)?  Is this really so?

I had planned to use one of the new superfast Solid State drives of 80 GB capacity all about to run Windows 7 only, no program on C:\ just Win 7.  I currently use this method in my XP machine with a C:\ drive for the o/s and a P:\ disk for programs and, of course, a dedicated scratch disk.

Why is - CS4 64 bit the only program I can see (from my list of things I'm going to need) to insist to be installed with the o/s?  Is there a way around this? I need to get this sort in my own mind before ordering the HDDS to do the new machine that I might have to go back to a 500 GB C:\ drive if that is the case.

Thanks for any help you can give this 64 bit Virgin lol

CS4 64 bit can be installed on the default drive (C:\)?  Is this really so?

Yes. It was not different from older CS products (at least the same behavior CS2 and CS3). The point here is that you can install the main program on another drive by choosing a custom Setup, but as Zeno, the shared components listed will always be in specific directories on the system drive by default where Scout apps are installed which can also be used.

  • After using a third party partition manager program left to extend my Windows 8 partition, the system of Windows 8 start to a black screen and Windows 8 partition of the drive letter has changed

    Original title: problems of Windows 8

    I have Windows 7 (32 bit) and Windows 8 (64-bit) is installed in a dual boot. I tried to extend the partition of Windows 8 with a third party partition manager. Subsequently, I restarted after having learned so much.

    Later, the first thing I saw was that the locked screen image is replaced by a blue color. Photos of the user are also missing. Once connected, it took a long time for windows everything ready, and I'm stuck in a black screen with the mouse pointer.

    I entered in Safe Mode and found that the drive for Windows 8 letter has been changed (C: = Windows 7;) D: = recovery partition; E: = Windows 8, new drive letter; F: = Windows 8, old drive letter), I tried to change the drive letter, but it does not work.

    Partition of Windows 7 works well (it is what I currently use to put this problem), and I can access the data in the partition of Windows 8. I tried the methods of different repair without result (such as chkdsk and sfc/scannow).

    Can someone help me with this please? Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello

    I understand that you have a problem of black screen with Windows 8 and the drive letter for the partition of Windows 8 is also changed. This problem is due to the use of the third party partition manager program because it affects the registry files and causes the instability of the system.

    Try to run auto repair from the Windows recovery environment and check if that helps.

    Method 1: start the recovery environment with installation of Windows 8 media.

    It is another way to boot the PC and launch recovery tools when something goes wrong with the operating system.

    Please follow the steps below. Insert the DVD to install Windows 8 on DVD-ROM and restart your computer.

    (a) once you start your computer by using the Windows DVD or the system repair disc, a black screen is displayed with the gray text "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD". Press a button on any.

    (b) select the good time and the type of keyboard .

    (c) click on repair your computer in the lower left corner.

    (d) select Troubleshooting to Choose an option screen.

    (e) click on advanced options in Troubleshooting screen.

    (f) click Auto repair of Advanced Options screen.

    (g) following, choose the operating system by clicking on its button.

    (h) Windows 8 will be looking for problems on the hard drives and verify that all required files are intact.


    Method 2: Run the restoration of the system of the Advanced Options screen.

    System Restore to restore your computer to a previous state, quickly and easily without losing any of your files and personal settings. Sometimes when you install programs or drivers, they can affect some system settings and prevent other programs to function properly. You can use system restore to restore these settings to their previous state

    Follow these steps:

    (a) once you start your computer by using the Windows DVD or the system repair disc, a black screen is displayed with the gray text "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD". Press a button on any.

    (b) select the good time and the type of keyboard .

    (c) click on repair your computer in the lower left corner.

    (d) select Troubleshooting from the Choose an option screen.

    (e) click on advanced options in Troubleshooting screen.

    (f) select System restore.

    After the system restore your documents and files will always remain to their previous state.

    If you do not install Windows 8 media, I suggest you connect to any other computer and create a floppy disk to install Windows 8. Using this disk, you can run the troubleshooting provided methods.

    How to create the installation media for a PC refresh or reset:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media

    You can also try the same steps using the bootable USB key. You must select USB as the first boot to the BIOS device.

    Note: Microsoft don't recommend any third-party partition manager program because it corrupts the registry files and cause the instability of the system.

  • Windows 7 will not assign drive letter to e-SATA drive

    I have a Seagate 1.5 TB SATA disk mounted in a Thermaltake case which has an e-SATA connection. The drive has been formatted NTFS on a Windows 2000 computer and a backup on this computer has been correctly written to disk. When I connect this drive to my 64-bit Windows 7 computer (Gigabyte GA-P55M-UD2 m/b using an e-SATA port connected to the Gigabyte SATA2 chip) Windows recognize the drive where the disc is displayed in 'Remove hardware safely', but Windows 7 does not allocate a drive letter.

    The disk appears in disk management (currently Disc 3) without a drive letter. When I right click on the blue band to the right of the box Disc 3, Windows cross-hatches the white rectangular box below the blue band. When I click on 'change drive letter and paths' I get the following message «the operation failed because the view is not updated...» "None of the proposed remedies work.

    The results are the same regardless of whether I start the computer with the drive connected and running or hot plug disk.

    My e-SATA 1 TB Fantom drive works fine on this computer.

    I would appreciate any suggestion you may have.

    Hello

    Look in Device Manager if there is an item under "storage volumes", called "unknown device". If there, uninstall the driver to do this and as soon as I reconnect the windows disc and see if it assigns a drive letter. If it isn't

    Try this;

    Go to Device Manager

    (1), look for an entry that says "Unknown disc" or something similar. This entry may not be marked with the error icon.

    (2) after you locate the entry, right click and select "Uninstall".

    (3) after you have uninstalled, press F5 or select "Search the hardware changes" in the action menu.

    (4) the pilot is then reinstalled correctly.

    P.S - I found these answers in other forums showing the same error message. Try them and let me know if it was just a waste of time.  :-)

  • Installation of CS4 Student Edition on new CPU with no optical drive

    Hello!

    So I recently got a new computer that has no optical drive, and my CS4 is on install disks. I tried to download the regular CS4 design standard, but the serial code does not, which I assume is because I have the student edition.

    I don't know what to do. Any help would be appreciated!

    -Lauren

    Nothing to do with the student edition.

    The CS4 Installer accepts all the serial numbers (unauthorized volume).

    Make sure you use the correct serial number. Should be 24 digits.

  • Put the OS 64-bit of Windows 8 on a HP Pavilion a1700n

    I was curious to know if an HP Pavilion a1700n computer, model # RK572AA-ABA, could handle installation of OS 64-bit of Windows 8?  I thought I would ask the community to HP if someone knew if this type of computer would be able to manage the 64-bit Windows 8 operating system.  It uses the Windows 8 32-bit very well (this computer had Vista on it when I got it, and I've upgraded to Windows 7 and bought 8 when firstly, it came out and was still not expensive).

    You are the very welcome.

  • Why drive letter external for the reasigns Windows Vista and how to stop it from happening

    I have Windows Vista Home Premium with the latest service packs and updates installed on my machine.
    From time to time, when I connect the external USB HDD, previously assigned letter of Exchange to another.
    After that the media library files and setup do not work properly. I have to manually assign.

    Why this is happening and more important How to stop from happening at all in the first place?

    Thanks in advance

    Windows assigns the next available drive letter when you connect an external drive. During his previous letter assigned is no longer available it will be assigned the next drive letter. I have an external hard drive with three partitions, I assigned the letters X, Y and Z, whenever I connect the drive on my laptop, it will display the letters that are always available.

  • Windows 7 x 64 upgrd dv6500z disconnected network drives allow usb drive mapping to the same drive letter

    Hello

    I'm having a problem with the readers of network disconnected allowing for new drive usb to their drive letter mappings. I have my laptop dv6500z home with windows 7 Home premium connected to my router wirelessly with a couple of shares of x 64. Now I turned off, trip and start. All right, the drive letters show as disconnected as they should. Now I plug in a USB key and it corresponds to the drive letter of one of the disconnected actions and not a new, unassigned drive letter. In Explorer, there will still be disconnected action description. Click on it and it accesses all my files on the USB key. In admin tools/disk management, the correct label for the USB key is displayed.

    So is it a problem of HP or just a problem of Microsoft with Windows 7?

    Woody, I was able to replicate that XP is not a bug but a feature. On my laptop, it originally had vista on the c drive and a recovery on the d drive partion. There are about 1 1/2 years I have upgraded Vista to XP. Then recently updated to Windows 7. kept the 3 OS's so I got triple starting capability. Then at home, I added 3 network shares, while I was using a lot of drive letters. When actions are undone, Windows maps a USB key which has not been connected before system one of the disconnected but readers still show in Explorer, the name of the drive on the part of disconnected. However, if the USB is connected to the system before, Windows appears to map a drive letter that he remembered from before.

    In my case, Windows 7 has been installed recently, so there is no remebered for my USB drive letter. I was away from home, so I had a lot of disconnected shares. In addition, now that I got a 3rd OS added to the system, I used a lot of letters from the GET go by car. It's much more likely that I would meet this feature after installing Windows 7.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones card MIcro SD is not recognized by my Vista X 64 or Windows XP-based computers (i.e. no drive letter)

    I have a Blackberry "BOLD" with a 1 GB MicroSD card that worked perfectly with my old Curve 8310.  I would like to plug the BB with a USB cable and voila, a drive letter would leap upward and I could easily move files.

    With this "BOLD" and using the same (or any other) SD card, nothing happens.  Although the Desktop Manager software and Device Manager recognizes the BB and everything works fine, the SD card does not appear in the Manager of Windows disk, or as a drive letter in my computer display, or in any software.  No computer does recognize it.  I have to conclude that something is wrong with my "BOLD" refurbished, but I hope someone has a suggestion.

    I tried to change the drive of other readers letters to make room for it, and I tried to update the drivers and reinstall the software and I tried all the different settings in memory on the BB.

    My BB recognize the SD card and I can use the SD card, but no computer will recognize when he's connected with via the USB port.

    My problem was actually quite widespread.  A LOT of people who buy refurbished BB bolding has had this problem.  AT & T needs to tackle this pronto!
