  Since you have a Dell and a recovery CD and not a recovery Partition, check how many partitions you need by using disk management:

  In case you have a partition with the operating system and a partition of the utility partition, I would only recommend formatting the partition from the OS. The Partition utility can be very useful.

• Reformat Windows 7 hard drive for the next clean install Windows ISO 10

  This is in anticipation of the next clean install of Windows 10 ISO.

  It is understood that I need to reformat the hard drive before a clean install.

  Question: How do I reformat my another computer on Windows 7 (Vista upgrade)?

  Note: Two computers are different: the first is a HP, the other is a gateway.

  ("Partitions" of hard drives may be different.)

  I don't know: if I can use the recovery made the first computer disc to reformat my second hard drive?  If this isn't the case, I'll be in trouble, because I don't know how to reformat my second computer.

  You need to use the means to reinstall that you can upgrade Windows Vista Setup to format the drive.

  The other system recovery media is likely to not work, but you can always try, but have appropriate reinstall media just in case.

  For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

  It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

  Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

• I backed up all the data on external hard drive and did a clean install of xp pro. I can't find a lot of folders, files or programs.

  I'm looking for advice search to find photos, documents and MS Office applications, most seem to be missing. I had a large photo collection and cannot find a few hundred off more 4 000.

  How can I do to get the MS DOS programs? I have more drives. Is it possible to download the programs I had? MS will be able to see that the key is stored somewhere in my computer or external hard drive?

  A backup does not recover programs, only data.
  If you did a clean install of the program keys that are lost, so you have to install the origonal with all key media programs

• Formatting the HARD drive before doing a clean install.

  I will do a clean install with my windows Visa but first told me to format my hard drive. Is that when you go to computer management > disk management, but then I have no idea what to do? It says Disk 0, and then Compaq and recovery. Laughing out loud.

  I do not know you said that, but it is wrong or you
  misunderstood him. When you perform a new installation, you start from the
  Windows DVD, then follow the prompts. It starts by formatting the drive
  for you, then there is no need to do first.

  and since my system did not come with the CD of Vista from the window I have to do by the Compaq recovery Partition.

  And if you do that, it also begins by formatting the drive for
  you.

  And by the way, your system is almost certainly with instructions on
  How to burn this on a DVD recovery partition and you should
  certainly doing this before you start. You don't want to wipe that
  partition without burning to a DVD first.

  I don't know exactly what I should do when it said to format my hard drive. It won't replace anything, which means getting rid of the previous things?

  Yes, it deletes everything on the disc. So make sure that, before
  from, save you on external support all important files for you.

  Because I don't want to do a clean install, then update all and then see my computer is still messed up.

  That's highly unlikely. But (and this is a big but) If you had "dirtied".

  the main reasons according to formatting and reinstalling Windows is
  usually a bad approach to solving a problem; It is best to find
  This is what the problem is, and what it, so that you don't make the
  same thing in the future.

  One last point: after the new installation, you will need to
  Restore the backup that you made your files and reinstall all your

• XPS 420 - HARD drive failed, performing a clean install of Vista on the new HARD drive.

  Hey everybody,

  My on my XPS 420 HARD drive failed and I'm trying to reinstall Vista using the disc that came with my machine back when I bought it.

  I bought a new WD10EZEXAZ (1 TB Serial ATA HDD), he rose in the same dwelling as my old HDD (ST3750630AS * Barracuda 7200.11*). I start the PC and goto Setup, it recognizes the HARD drive in the blue menu.

  Then I boot with the CD of Vista that came with my system. I proceed as indicated through the following url:

  Clean install of Vista

  After its copied files, expanded the files, installed features, updates installed... it goes to "Complete Installation" and throws an error message: "Windows Setup could not configure Windows to run on a hardware on this computer."

  I tried a few things I've seen posted on the internet, including trying to run msoobe.exe via command line. When I did, it allows me to Setup user... but finally I get sent to this message of error or another telling me I have to reinstall Windows.

  I read else where some hard disks may not compatible with the Dell disk provides with my OEM machine. If this is the case, can someone advise? I really didn't want to spend $100 one another on a Windows 7 disc, but I feel like this may be my only option... but even in this case, I'm not so sure this will work or the other.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated,

  Tony

  UPDATE *.
  Did some more research, I discovered my new drive HARD is an advanced HDD format... not sure if it has nothing to do with my problems (by www.wdc.com/advformat Vista should not need to perform the work before the OS being installed), but thought I would mention it.

  Thanks again for any help.

  ****************

  Seems that I found the solution to my problem.

  Problem has been fixed by going into the BIOS and change the Mode of Port SATA to IDE/native/AHCI native. After that, the installation worked without any problems. Seems that Windows Setup did not like the port mode is set to RAID.

  Just thought I would post back everybody incase has had the same problem.

• After the clean install of windows 7, it gives an error saying that there is a problem in the hard drive.

  * Original title: hard drive

  I have a lenovo laptop, processor Intel i3, 500 GB hard drive. After the clean install of windows 7, it gives an error saying that there is a problem in the hard drive. I ran chkdsk looking for bad sector and its display 6000 KB in bad sectors. After completing the audit when it began to restart its stuck when the windows logo appears. What should I do? Reinstall the windows help?

  Run the hard drive HD diagnosis extended CD scan manufacturer to know with certainty the State of the reader.  If your brand has no bootable diagnostics in the link, use Seagate Seatools burned onto CD or SeaTools for a USB key .  Follow this with a full check disk command from the installation media kicked prompt know with absolute certainty the State of the reader.  If he repeated the errors after you run the two tests twice, I replace it or at least keep everything backed up in real time.

  If by chance the drive past diagnosis then compares the steps you've done with the best possible Clean install Windows 10 in the link, you can do more if it varied too - especially if the partitions were not deleted during install.  If you do then I additonally run own Diskpart command command line of the punt media accessible to the first screen after startup by pressing SHIFT + F10 keys, or through the repair your computer on the second screen.

• HP ENVY x 360 Convertible: unable to do a clean install of Windows 7 on a HP Envy x 360 (win 10 preinstalled)

  Hello

  I recently bought a HP Envy X 360 laptop for work. The laptop comes with Windows preinstalled 10.

  I'm doing a clean install of Windows 7 and during the installation, I get an error message "A required CD/DVD drive driver is missing. If you have a drive floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now.

  Novel if the Windows installation media is in the Cd/DVD drive, you can remove safely for this step"

  I'm doing the installation via a USB key. The laptop has 3 USB ports and I believe these are all 3.0

  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  Extract the drivers to packages

  create directories

  c:\Drivers

  c:\drivers\glb

  c:\Drivers\x86

  c:\Drivers\x64

  c:\temp\mount

  c:\temp\DVD_Files

  -the first is for the x 86 and x 64 so I put them in a directory c:\drivers\glb

  -l' other contains x 86 vs x 64-put-the separate directories in separate directories.

  c:\Drivers\x86

  c:\Drivers\x64

  (1) copy the ISO files from the DVD to install Windows 7 in a directory - c:\temp\dvd_files

  (2) mount the boot.wim file

  -dism/mount-WIM /wimfile:c:\temp\dvd_files\sources\boot.wim / index: 1 /mountdir:C:\temp\mount

  DISM / image: C:\temp\mount / Add-Driver driver:c:\drivers\glb

  DISM image:C:\temp\mount / Add-Driver driver:c:\drivers\x64 (or x 86 if the picture is for a 32-bit install

  DISM /mountdir:c:\temp\mount unmount unmount

  (3) mount the install.wim file

  -you know what image to update because the install.wim file contains all the images (except Enterprise).  If installing 64-bit Home Premium - that would be index 2

  -dism/mount-WIM /wimfile:c:\temp\dvd_files\sources\install.wim / index: 2 /mountdir:C:\temp\mount

  DISM / image: C:\temp\mount / Add-Driver driver:c:\drivers\glb

  DISM image:C:\temp\mount / Add-Driver driver:c:\drivers\x64 (or x 86 if the picture is for a 32-bit install

  DISM /mountdir:c:\temp\mount unmount unmount

  Copy your files to USB and everything should be good.

  Bryan

  I forgot something.  The boot.wim file has two images.  So after step 2, you must do exactly the same thing again but on index 2 like this:

  mount the boot.wim file

  -dism/mount-WIM /wimfile:c:\temp\dvd_files\sources\boot.wim / index: 2 /mountdir:C:\temp\mount

  DISM / image: C:\temp\mount / Add-Driver driver:c:\drivers\glb

  DISM image:C:\temp\mount / Add-Driver driver:c:\drivers\x64 (or x 86 if the picture is for a 32-bit install

  DISM /mountdir:c:\temp\mount unmount unmount

• Clean install of Windows 8 on ENVY 4-1195

  Hello

  I buy a FANCY 4-1195 with Win8 preinstalled on it. I need to clean install Win8 Enterprise on it for power to reach the company network.

  I boot from the CD, goto custom Setup to do a clean install of Windows on the new PC, but when I get to install Windows I get this error message:

  We have found all the disks. For a storage driver, click on load a driver.

  When I click on

  I get the message:

  No signed device not found driver. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers...

  When I try to browser only see us D (DVD) drive and drive X: (Boot) and no C: drive.

  Thanks for your help

  The system uses something of a RAID configuration, because it doesn't have an Intel RST and a Smart Connect pilot.

  The problem is that I don't have access to a copy non - OEM Windows 8 to test the manual installation of the driver Intel RST or Smart Connect method.

  What is a stock Enterprise of Windows 8 version or a custom image for the company?  If it is a stock Enterprise installation, then the Windows Anytime Upgrade would be an option provided the OEM copy is always available and you know what is the product key.

  However, you can try to extract the contents of the package driver to a USB flash drive and try to manually install one of the drivers (RST or Smart Connect) to see if it makes the configuration of disk HARD visible during the installation process.

  Intel driver for fast ignition

  Intel Smart Connect driver technology

  7-zip

  1. install and open 7-zip.

  2 in 7 - zip, access both downloaded drivers linked above in the post.

  3. right click on each one and choose 7-zip > Archive open.

  4. extract the contents of each driver on an external USB drive.

  5. When you arrive at the selection of blank disc screen during installation of Windows 8, select the option to load drivers.

  6. go to the file Intel RST pilot which was extracted, select drivers and appropriate architecture (x 86 for 32-bit, x 64 for 64-bit).

  7. This can be a process of elimination.  Try each driver (in RST and Smart Connect) until you find one that works.

  8. when the appropriate driver has been installed, then the HARD drive should be visible.

  Let me know what happens.
