Installation of Windows 7 64 bit on Envy M6-1205dx - I'm screwed for now...

I just want to M6-1205dx... First thing I did was bust on my CD of Windows 7 64-bit... I enabled legacy mode so that it can boot from CD... I deleted all but the recovery partition (thinking it would allow me to go to Windows 8 I if desired)... I install W7, and then he got all the way to the end of the installation and gave error "" windows cannot configure at installed on this hardware "and won't be finished...»

Then, I discovered that it is not a recovery (must have need of one of the other partitions I deleted) and given that manufacturers no longer include media (all the cents.35 it cost them) I'm totally screwed...

I really wish I had loaded W7, but if that's impossible, I would put 8 on!

Any ideas?

Thank you

Today, I had a Client who wanted to Downgrade to Windows 7 Windows 8 on a laptop HP Envy M6.  After that reading many articles about everyones unsuccessful attempts to install Windows 7 on this laptop, I had to respond.

4. press the "ESC" button when she said HP or when it says press ESC for Boot Options

5. Select "F9" for "Boot Device Options '.

NOTE: DO NOT SELECT THE ' INTERNAL CD/DVD ROM DRIVE (UEFI) - even knowing that you have your Windows 7 DVD in the drive


6 SELECT ' INTERNAL CD/DVD-ROM DRIVE (this is the Option to boot Legacy & is the difference between failure and success.

7. install Windows 7 normally

PLEASE NOTE: DELETE ALL PARTITIONS ON THE DRIVE C, INCLUDING THE RECOVERY.  IF YOU DO DELETE A RECOVERY, THIS PROCESS WILL NOT WORK.

8. upon completion of the installation of Windows 7.  Open the Device Manager.  You will notice that there are several devices that the drivers are not installed.  PCI device / Sm Bus controller / network card / adapter Ethernet / USB controller / USB Controller.

9 go to the following Web page of HP and install Audio / LAN / WIFI / CARD READER / GRAPHICS for Windows 7 64 bit, providing that you have installed a 64-bit Windows Version.

    I would like to install Windows 7 (x 64) on the partition where Windows 8. I would do this while keeping my recovery and other partitions intact, just as it has been partitioned at the factory. In other words, I want to keep the GPT partition table, it came with.

    I want to be sure about the BIOS settings, that I needed to change to it. My view is: 1) disable Secure Boot in the BIOS (the UEFI firmware) under Secure Boot Configuration, 2) Enable Legacy Support

    Then I'll be able to start the installation of Windows 7 (64 bit) of the DVD, and will my GPT recognized and uncompromising of the installation?

    I know running Windows 7 does not have any support from HP. That's why I need to keep the GPT and all partitions intact original.

    For what it's worth, I would also suggest HP seriously consider adding Windows 7 to their list of operating systems supported on other computers 'Windows 8 '.  W7 is a proven operating system.

    @DidokB,

    Thanks for posting back.  The other drives must have some sort of issue if they all failed to install.  If you have to install on the last of them, then is not the operating system recovery or the laptop.

    With some drives, there could be questions that are not connected to bad sectors.  It may be something with reading / writing system.

    Thanks again for the post and have a great day.

  • Multiprocessor Configuration does not support the installation of Windows 7 64-bit.

    I'm going as a joint discussion on the multiprocessor Configuration not supported during the installation of Windows 7 64-bit. I have a HP with a motherboard HP xw6200 workstation. The Machine has dual Zeon 3.20 Ghz. the procesors are identical. There bus 800 MHZ front. It has 6 gigs of 400 MHZ DDR2 Ram. I've updated to the latest version of the bios a few months ago. It has worked very well in dual boot with the last pack of 64-bit XP and Vista 64-bit SP1 for a long time. I tried to upgrade using a clean 64-bit Windows 7 installation when I got the error Stop Multiprocessor_Configuration_Not_Supported: 0X0000003E. I tried to upgrade to Vista and XP with the same error message. I also installed a new unformatted disk and tried to install the operating system again through the CD and got the same error.

    Hi ITCoreTeam,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers community.

    Test the material under test once, by contacting the manufacturer. The problem is caused due to hardware.
    Cause: This situation can occur if the incorrect processor packages are used or if the BIOS incorrectly allows a processor erratum.

    Download the update available in the link below and install it. It may solve your problem.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/973879/

    I suggest you have a look at the similar problem and the troubleshooting steps by visiting the link below.

    I suggest you to contact the manufacturer of the computer to update the chipset drivers as you have updated the BIOS of your computer.

    Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. 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.

  • Doesn't have installation on Windows 7 64 bit

    Hi all

    I am trying to install itunes on a new install of Windows 7 64 bit and receive the error message could not start Apple Mobile Device Support. If I don't know the message all the components are installed except AppleApplicationSupport64. When I try to install it, I get the error application transforms.

    I tried already to:

    -Uninstall all components according to the order indicated in the instructions from Apple.

    -Disable all antivirus partners (Avast Internet Security, Windows Defender was already disabled).

    -Install the iTunes as administrator

    -Also checked the windows update didn't work well and that all updates have been installed.

    Also tried to install the 32-bit one, but the installer refused to install it on a 64-bit.

    I've already lost over 8 hours with that and frustrate completely with what should be a simple and straightforward task.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated,

    André digitals

    For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

    The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.

    Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.

    More information area has direct links with the current and recent buildings if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit-for old video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with QuickTime software or a third party.

    Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.

  • Satellite L500-128 - new installation of Windows 7 64 bit

    Hello guys. I want to do a few questions

    I have windows vista in my laptop and I want to do a clean install with windows 7 64 bit. I noticed the drivers are ok in the site. So here's my questions

    (a) do I have to remove the hidden restore partition or not? (configuration eisa if I remember correct)

    (b) I got 4 dvds with the toshiba recovery disk creator. If I erase each partition in the laptop how to restore my DVD? With a program in Windows or just setting the bios to boot from DVD, then the procedure is automatic? What's the first bootable dvd?

    Thanks in advance and sorry for my English

    Hello

    one) of course, you can remove this hidden WinRE partition. If you have installed a new/other OS, this partition is useless.

    (b) you on the right. To restore the Toshiba Recovery disk factory settings you must boot from the disks. The first disc is bootable and you can boot from the installation. This happens automatically, only a few clicks are needed to confirm the installation and to create user accounts, etc.. Pretty easy and all the drivers and tools are installed too! :)

    Supposedly the boot EFI and WinInstall partition should do the same thing. Manually, select one or the other.

  • need Ethernet controller device driver after installation of windows 7 (32-bit) on an a1640n

    I did a new install of Windows 7 (32 bit) on my desktop HP Pavilion Media Center a1640n and need to find the device driver for the ethernet controller.  Device Manager, it is generically known as "ethernet controller" - there is no precision manufacturer so I can't go to the site to find.  Device Manager, it seems that the network connection works correctly (Intel 82562v 10/100).  I guess that's probably an Intel processor, but which?  Any instructions or advice find download ethernet controller device driver would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hello:

    It's a card ethernet (antique) to heritage for which there is no W7 drivers.

    My advice would be to remove it and install a compatible ethernet card from windows 7 in its place.

    Allows you to update and get a 10/100/1000 NIC

    Sn54ls164j AN983 10/100 PCI card is not better than the integrated Intel NETWORK interface in your PC.

    Or use the Intel ethernet port if it works.
