• HP 15 - r014TX: GFT Drive Partition problem when installing Windows 7 on my HP 15 - r014TX

  Hello
  I have a new HP laptop that had windows OS 8.1. OS has been corrupted and now when I try to install Windows 7 on the same I get this error: "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is the GPT partition style. »
  So, I saw a few videos of the solution on youtube and found that I need to convert MBR mode and for that I need to clean the drive and re partition which will result in the loss of data. As I don't have a BONE in my laptop that I can't even get back to the top of my data.
  Some can give me alternatives by which I can back up my data or install windows without losing my data.
  I tried the option "Repair Windows" so while installing windows7, but even that does not work as the OS recovery file is missing.
  Any help would be much appreciated.

  Hello

  Just to make sure, when starting in legacy mode, you'll normally see two optical drive options:

  CDROM

  and

  CDROM (uefi)

  You see two options, and if so, you select the CDROM (uefi)?

  Otherwise, an option would be to remove the drive HARD, place it in an external enclosure - is an example of the link below - connect to another PC and see if you can access your files.

  External 2.5 HARD drive caddy ".

• CD/dvd driver not found when installing Windows 7 on Asus f501A

  I am trying to install windows 7 on this laptop. Windows 8 are installed, but the drivers for the hardware that I need to use are not supported. I connect to cd/dvd-rom to boot from usb. I can install windows now the next screen ask a driver for the cd/dvd driver.

  I suggest, if you want to run Windows 7 on your system, you must do it through a virtual machine:

  You can use alternatives such as Oracle VirtualBox or VMWare Player.

  https://www.VirtualBox.org/wiki/downloads

  VMware Player;

  http://downloads.VMware.com/d/details/player_401/dGpkYnRwd3didGRwQA==

  or

  You will first need to go to the website of manufacturers for your model computer and first find out if there are native drivers in Windows 7. A large number of computers that are preloaded with Windows 8 have no native driver support for Windows 7 by the manufacturer. If there is no native driver, you will need to consider returning the machine and buying a machine preloaded with Windows 8 Pro with downgrade rights to Windows 7 Professional. Or look through the catalogue of manufacturers for systems already preloaded with Windows 7, usually the business sector will have these options.

• No hard drive not found when installing Windows 7

  I have a HP Envy 4 - Ultrabook 1046tx and the operating system Windows 64-bit 8.1. While downgrading to Windows 7 64 bit I was unable to find the hard drives. In the installation screen it showed me "no hard drive found. Click on load a driver to provide a driver for installing mass storage.'.»

  I downloaded all the versions (from most recent to oldest) technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology drivers and I tried install one by one but they do not work and the hard drives are still not visible. But if I use a Windows 8 install disc and install the driver drives are visible.

  I need my computer to display the default hard drives without the need for a SATA driver. How do I do that? My Intel chipset manufacturer and model is Ivy Bridge HM77.

  
  Can someone help me solve the problem please?
  
  Thanks in advance!

  I tried a lot of things these steps. But this has not worked for me. Might work for others. I'm sticking with Windows 8.1 for awhile and I will continue to find other ways. If I find the solution will immediately post the solution in this thread. Thanks to Paul_Tikkanen for helping me!

• What are the size of partition recommended for installing Windows 7 Professional 64-bit?

  What are the size of partition recommended for installing Windows 7 Professional 64-bit? I have a 2 TB internal hard drive and want to install Windows and Norton Internet Security on the drive C, drive D and drive E data programs.

  Thanks for a response.

  Brenda

  Original title: size partition Windows 7 Professional 64 bit

  For technical purposes, I recommend you only keep utilities all programs that you install on the startup disk. This is recommended if you plan to upgrade to future releases of Windows such as Windows 8 because you will experience problems with the installation program.

  I recommend however, you can keep accumulated data such as Documents, Photos, music, videos on a separate partition to ensure custody.

  The recommended size for the boot drive around things like Windows, future growth for applications and the Windows updates and program updates will be considered.

  So I recommend not more than 200 GB, for a lot of space, I would shoot up to 300 if you want to keep things like System Restore Points.

• Error: "could not create a new partition or locate a" when installing Windows via Boot Camp 10

  This error occurs on my 2012 15-inch MacBook Pro. I have 2 hard drives. One dedicated to OSX and one for Windows. This is my first install bootcamp. I let bootcamp create partitions, but to the partition/disk screen hard to choose, I get a message saying: "we could not create a new partition or locate a.. The partition has been formatted to NTFS. I tried later in this guide community post here: error: "we could not create a new partition or locate and existing" install Windows via Bootcamp 8.1, but no luck. I even tried to delete the partitions and create a partition empty for windows so it can create and format on its own and start using EFI. At this point, windows begins to install it and restart, but it fails during the part material recording and restarts. Then when it starts again I get a message that the installation has failed.

  Here's some output terminal which can help you to (I) hope.

• Partitioning of the problems when installing Windows 7

  I have a HP Compaq CQ58 supplied with Windows 8. I switched to Ubuntu and I'm doing a clean install of Windows 7. Installation came at a prompt asking "Where do you want to install Windows?" and I have three partitions:

  Disk 0 Partition 1 - 94.0 MB system
  Disk 0 Partition 2-296, 4 GB primary
  Disk 0 Partition 3-1, 6 GB primary

  When you select one of them, I get "Windows cannot be installed to Partiion Dis 0 x." On the 1 (System) partition, the details are:

  Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is the GPT partition style.

  Windows cannot be installed to this hard disk space. The partition is a partition of EFI (ESP) system.

  On Partition 2 (primary), the details just say:

  Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is the GPT partition style.

  And on the Partition (primary) 3, tell the details:

  Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is the GPT partition style.

  Windows cannot be installed to this hard disk space. Windows must be installed on a partition formatted in NTFS.

  Windows cannot be installed to this hard disk space. The partition is of an unknown type.

  Well, I had nothing in particular requiring a backup (it is a computer of leisure, all of our important data are on other devices), then I hit the "Format" button on all three in turn try to get the installation to run on one of them. If any OS at this point is completely erased. I need to know, now, what to do. I'm not comfortable with my computer knowledge to go and delete partitions without professional opinion. I'm not used to have more than one partition and wouldn't mind consolidating unless HP has good reasons to keep them separate.

  Hello

  There is no reason to keep these partitions and you can remove them using the disk management on the following installation disc.

  Left click a partition for highlight.

  Click the blue link "drive Options (Advanced).

  Select the option 'delete '.

  Repeat this step for each partition listed.

  Once completed, you should see only 1 entry showing that "the unallocated space on disk 0.

  Click on the button 'Next' operation of installation of Windows 7.

  Be aware that Windows 7 will also create a "System" of about 100 MB hidden partition that contains the files and start the recovery environment.

• resize boot camp partition, formatted and installed windows 7 - now cannot open in vmware fusion

  Here are the steps that I took...

  1 has started with the copy of Windows XP in the boot camp partition. "This is accessible from VMWare Fusion."

  2 resized (from 6 GB to 18 GB) and formatted the boot camp partition.

  3 successfully installed Windows 7 directly in the resized partition boot camp (not through VMWare Fusion).

  4. starts in OSX (latest version), open VMWare Fusion and attempted to access the partition to boot camp/vm. Received an error message charging me to disassemble and reassemble the physical disk changes. However, since I did it, he cannot find a bootable disc, therfore making it the useless bootcamp VM.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Paul

  Note: These steps assume that you have a default Apple installation of Windows and a VMware Fusion Boot Camp Virtual Machine default partition and if you changed the Boot Camp partition the Virtual Machine to add additional hard disks to be virtual or RAW disk then do not use these instructions unless you backup the Boot Camp partition the Virtual Machine package first.

  1. If the merger is open, close it.

  2. in a Terminal (/ Applications/Utilities/Terminal) copy and paste command, as the following and then press Enter and it will remove the Boot Camp Virtual Machine meta-data partition. Note: This does not affect the Boot Camp partition to install Windows. Also make sure that you copy the entire command below "rm" line at the beginning of the ' (quote) after the p in the Camp. "

  RM - dfr "/Users/$ the specified item was not found./Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines / Boot Camp."

  3. start Fusion (/ Applications/VMware Fusion) and select the Boot Camp partition on the library of the Virtual Machine window, and then click the run button.

  Notes: Then, an authentication dialog box appears. "VMware Fusion requires that you type your password." Enter your name and password, and then click OK. (It is necessary to remove the Boot Camp for the merge partition to access it directly).

  Then, we should see a Boot Camp partition message stating "VMware Fusion prepares your Boot Camp partition to run as a virtual machine. This may take a few minutes. This occurs once. »

• The time machine shaped my result of ssd unable to check my key when installing windows?

  Brief summary:

  My machine: Macbook pro mid 2012
  What I have: Samsung Evo SSD, optical Bay caddy, 8.1 windows bootable dvd with serial
  I wanted to do: install windows in my second internal SSD (optical Bay)
  What went wrong: Enter key I get: "we could not verify the product key. Please check your installation media. »

  I suspect that the problem is: I have formatted by mistake the SSD mac front.

  Question: Has been put in shape my SSD the cause of the problem? and if yes how can I do to reset?

  Detailed long version

  I have a macbook mid 2012 retina not pro that I wanted to have the option to be able to boot from a windows and a mac. As a result, I bought a samsung EVO solid state drive for this purpose. I decided to try the drive and put it in instead of the optical drive caddy the day I got it. I was invited with the message that the mac was unable to acknowledge it and follow a few steps online to format. I would find it later when we look at a forum that I should have left the unformatted SSD. However, I tried to install windows on the EVO by placing the optical drive in the computer, put the EVO in the main Bay. I put the windows cd in and followed the installation. Everything was good until I had to put in the windows key. I put in and received the message "we could not verify the product key. Please check your installation media. "I double checked to see if it was right by voluntarily entering a wrong key he gave me a message that the key was invalid. Snooping around, I tried to reset the drive by using the offer of advanced tools and I was told that windows did not have access to the partition or something of the sort.

  A format the drive of the source of the error and if so is it possible to return to the factory settings?

  All the advice/help is greatly appreciated! Thank you very much!

  The formatting SSD is not related to the issue with the product key. Windows Setup reformats the SSD in the main Bay NTFS still. If the SSD is less than 2 TB, you can format the MBR with attempts as well as FAT32 format.

  Your model is compatible with the installation from DVD and USB, both. You can also download the ISO of Microsoft W8.1 to the https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows8ISO to ensure that your DVD is not a several bits (32-bit and 64-bit DVD).
