• Problem with installing Windows on a hard drive, HARD drive does not get detected after installation

  Original title: help with hard drive of the computer.

  Flow of the problem:

  My aunt tried to install windows 7 on the previous copy of windows 8. Needless to say that it doesn't work and it has messed up the hard drive. So, I bought a vacuum. I formatted the hard drive using my other windows computer to have 2 partitions: a boot partition and system partition, and then used the program WinToUSB to install windows on the hard disk. The reason I did it is, because no matter how many times I changed the BIOS in my laptop of aunts, it wouldn't boot from the DVD player to load the windows software. After a few hours, I found WinToUSB. Once windows has been installed, I plugged it into the laptop. For a few hours, I didn't know what to do, because the computer does not recognize the hard drive (he said: "Not detected"). I decided to start from legacy, and then the screen deals

  «intell...» »

  and a bunch of dates, etc all the stuff on the screen to load legacy if you know what I mean.

  He said "not plugged in the media. Check the power cord.

  Then quickly changed screen before I can read almost anything and it goes to the normal windows screen black (with 4 colors). I said to myself, how can he be loading if the hard drive is not detected... Once it is loaded, he brought me to the blue screen (blue screen of death, if you want) I turned the computer on again, always noticing the hard drive was not detected. I ran all the recovery/repair options I could and turned off the laptop. I came back a few hours ago and I loaded the computer again and went into the BIOS.  He said that the hard drive has been detected and said the news about this, as usual. However, at the start of the legacy of windows loading screen, it said still not detected.  I then started to windows to see since it is now detected if that fixes the blue screen. Yet, there is no. I tried to go to the normal windows and screen remains blue. any ideas?

  Hello Chris,

  Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.

  According to the description, it seems that Windows was not properly installed on the hard drive. I'm not sure how to work the software from third-party manufacturers WinToUSB and reliable installation process is. Microsoft does not recommend using any third party tool to install Windows on your computer, the use of these third-party tools can cause serious damage to your computer.

  I would say to format the hard drive once more and try to install Windows through normal Windows installation process.

  Refer to the section "using the installation option custom if no operating system is installed" in the thread below.

  Installing and reinstalling Windows

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/installing-reinstalling-Windows#1TC=Windows-7

  If you are not able to install Windows on the hard drive at all, I suggest you to contact the hard drive manufacturer to obtain a diagnosis of material performed on the hard drive.

  Do not hesitate to write back for any further assistance with Windows, we will be happy to help you.

• Can't see BIOS UEFI more Windows 8 after formatting hard drive

  After formatting my hard drive, I don't see the opportunity to get into the BIOS/UEFI firmware anymore. It has disappeared from the troubleshooting Windows 8.1. It happened because I had to reinstall Windows because I wanted to put Windows on the SSD drive, that I adapted. Firstly tried to transfer files to Windows from the HARD drive that went successfully but my problem was trying to get the HP BIOS so he can start, he had no option as I saw in the other BIOS, select the name of the SSD drive and turn it on just for 1 St boot, (the SSD has been installed properly so she did state in the BIOS on other things and in the windows to) the only thing that he had in this BIOS is a command to start menu I dragged the SSD to the first boot. Windows restarted and it wouldn't boot from SSD yet, so I put it in legacy mode that came to the top with my SSD info to start first, but when I saved these settings and rebooted Windows it says has no disc or can't find windows. So that's how I got where I am now and had to reinstall Windows to get it working again. Can't find away to get the BIOS/UEFI on windows 8 Troubleshooting menu option more?

  Hello

  The way most simple and easiest way to solve your dilemma to use the HP recovery media to build on the SSD system use the same SATA port that is used by the original Windows 8 boot drive. I know that this procedure works, at least on the PC that I used.

  I'm not a fan of 'cloning' of hard disks to boot HP UEFI active.  There are simply too many problems. Using the HP with a SSD recovery holder sized to accept all the original HP recovery system. This includes not user data. Then use your original hard drive as a device of emergency start and space remaining for the storage of data.

• Install Windows from secondary hard drive

  I have a sony vaio vgn-ar825e I am trying to install windows 7 on. Because it's a double hard drive, I put a second hard drive in it with windows 7 already installed on it. Is it possible to install windows from disk hard secondary to primary works hard drive?

  AFAIK, you can boot from a second internal drive, but your BIOS must be able to select the second drive, and I'm not sure that the average laptop BIOS has the ability.

  You better boot and install from a flash drive. In addition, it is a good idea to remove or unplug the secondary internal drives during the installation of an operating system...

• Second activation of Windows 7 after formatting hard drive

  I recently installed Windows 7 on my desktop PC and activated.  However, due to display problems (which is happened because of Lightning), the technician computer that provided the proposed Windows 7 reformat the hard drive and I agreed.  After formatting, Windows 7 has been installed from the original disk even.  I am not able to activate now even after providing the correct product id.  The message says that I have to buy a new license!

  Another curious aspect: I tried a day before activation, which asked me to download a software (from Microsoft of course).  I followed the instructions, and after a lot of screens, I thought I found 'successful activation.  However, booting my PC this morning, I find that I have 0 days for activation and that he chose the option "Activate now" with the same result (after providing the correct product id).

  Add to my great surprise, after restarting the PC, he said now "27 days to activate. Activate Windows now.

  Could someone please guide me how to actually activate my Windows 7 now?  (Either by the way, I had also installed MS Office 2007 before reformatting and activated.  After reformatting, Office was installed from the same disc again and I had no problems activating the office...)

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.
