Option Clean-Install for Windows 7

I think that's what it's called. You know, the one where he deletes everything? Yes, that one.

That's what I did for my HP Pavilion dv6t laptop when I've upgraded Windows Vista to Windows 7. I think that this messed up some of my installed software and drivers.

I first noticed small issues (like when I raise or lower the volume, the animation does not come on the screen). Then I realized that my computer is not read or burn CDs, and the webcam is still not working properly when recording.

I tried the HP site and its driver updates and they did not seem to do anything for me. None of them seems to be specific to the problems I have in any case.

Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you

I didn't say anything on bass and treble, about the animation volume screen that normally is supposed to happen.

In addition, my burner is now "not found".

And Yes, I bought my laptop directly from HP and they sent me the upgrade.

Also, I took a few screenshots that I've been through the process of troubleshooting HP. I'll put the links below.

In my device manager, these drivers seem to have problems. The small point of triangle / exclamation yellow attention comes up next to them, with the following error as written notice.

EDIT: I solved the problem by using this Web site:

http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/cd_dvd_drive_problems/en-us

Only, this fixed the problem of CD/DVD-ROM. I can now read and burn CDs. However, other issues have not been set, but I find them to be much less important.

  • What drivers to download for a clean install of Windows 7?

    I'm working on a clean install of Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 on my HP Pavilion computer of bureau a6600f (originally there was Vista, now he has Windows 7 Ultimate). The machine is stable but really slow.

    If I want to download the drivers and others, which is here. But I don't really know what are those who... just do each of them?

    and then after installing Windows 7, I have just install these one by one?

    Here are the specifications of your desktop HP Pavilion a6600f. Based on the specifications, this model uses a nVidia Chipset nVidia Graphics, nVidia Network and Realtek HD Audio. If you have already done, I would update the BIOS first. I skip the installation of the HP drivers and go directly to the sites of the manufacturer for the latest drivers chipset.

    nForce Driver v15.56 for Windows 7 64-bit (Ethernet, SATA/IDE, SMBUS, pilot EMS and Away Mode driver)

    V307.83 GeForce Driver for Windows 7 64 bit (Graph)

    Realtek HD Audio Driver for Windows (Tick 'Accept', click 'Next', years download location for 3rd item to the bottom of the list)

    I think that your 'slowness' is due to the entry level Pentium E2200 CPU and only 3 GB of RAM. Consider one of the better microprocessors on the list and the upgrade to 4 GB RAM HP.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

  • A clean install of Windows 7 x 64 takes forever to search for updates

    Don't know why, but the update takes forever to search on a clean install of windows. I made a lot of clean installations of Windows 7 before, but never had a problem with the receipt of the updates. But this time, it just doesn't go as far in receiving updates.

    I don't have any firewall or antivirus programs installed on this system. Just new installation of windows 7. Tried the pro versions and at the same time with the same result.

  • Question seeks to clean install 10 Windows on the drive of the merger. El Capitan.

    Problem: try a clean install of Windows 10 via the Boot Camp Assistant on an iMac 27 inches (Late2013) with 10.11.4 installs hours (more than 8 hours) and then failed to install Boot Camp updates. Essentially installation take much long than normal and cannot install updates of the Apple software or create normally start Windows Boot Camp 10.

    Background: After problems of slowing down after upgrading to 10.11.4 (with improved Bootcamp Windows 10) who had previously worked fine for 10 months, to the point of a start of OS X time, I decided to do a clean install of my iMac with Fusion 3 to disk.

    As I was unable to remove the partition from Boot Camp through BCA because of his holding always at the same load, I used Internet recovery and reset the Fusion drive. This then required me to repair the partition of Fusion by car through THE "fix" option which seems to work very well. And reinstalled OS X 10.11.4 which works fine now (delays etc..)

    Try using BCA to create a new partition Boot Camp and a clean Windows 10 install after downloading an image of disk W10 directly from Microsoft (Win10_1511_1_English_x64), BCA by downloading software updates and by selecting the desired partition, it began to restart and initialize the installation. However the whole process has been very slow, each step takes much longer than usual, to progress. Leave for hours rest a blank screen or with a circle of rotation.

    I tried with another stick USB 3 and also a USB 2 stick, but none has made a difference.

    In the last attempt, I left running overnight and after 8-9 hours, he finally reaches the top of desktop Windows 10 and the update of Apple Bootcamp starts to load updates. However, he just hung and even after 2 hours, nothing was. Reboot and try once again has been the same.

    After that I tried to create a Windows Installer via BCA 8.0 however it gives just a TPG error when you try to select the drive (due to el Capitan I guess?)

    After four days of efforts, I'm a loser on how to get the Windows 10 on the Boot Camp partition. I can't even install W8 and upgrade due to the error of TPG.

    Any help or suggestions how to proceed with the diagnostic / resolution of the problem would be appreciated.

    Details:

    System: iMac (27 inch, end of 2013), 3.4 GHz Intel Core i5, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 M 4096 MB, OS X 10.11.4

    • Nothing other than the keyboard and mouse attached via the USB ports, as well as the key USB of BCA. No other attached devices.
    • Reset memory NVRAM, SMC and ran more than once disk utility. No problem not reported.  Ran NVRAM reset before each attempt.
    • At ran EtreCheck report which seemed OK.
    • Verification of diagnosis ran who is childless.

    A detail I noticed after the merger by car there are now two Macintosh HD images when you use boot option. One previously. Are named "Macintosh HD" and "Macintosh HD2". I remember being Yosemite simultaneously in three, but which has been fixed in an update.

    In addition, it seems that no recovery partition. Cmd + R lance Internet recovery.

    Summary:

    Q1: Should it take 4 + hours to install Windows 10 via BCA?

    Q2: Al must ultimately be so slow when initially W10 desktop?

    Q3; What I do once I arrive at the office of W10 but it automatically updates the graphics driver as BC update is simply suspended for centuries and get a working driver to restart at least W10?

    Q4: is there a problem with the disk HARD the Drive of Fusion that is causing all this delay and slow install / boot? ON the clean install OS X 10.11.4 it is back to be fast as usual and all tests show things are OK but W10 goes on the part of the HARD drive. No way to verify this beyond diagnosis or Etrecheck?

    Q5: Y at - it no problem with the GPT / MBR that may be causing the delay etc. ?

    Q6: How can I use my existing WindowsImageBackup backup from the previous W10 with the BCA install usb drive or how to create a USB stick otherwise recovery disk with my other single Mac have W7?

    Q7: How can I install W8 as I once did on Yosemite, via el Capitan without a mistake to TPG on selection of disc?

    Details:

    Day 5. Attempt at 6.

    Partition Boot Camp delete and try again install via BCA. First question, is that when the startup it goes to a blank black screen. For a time nothing left. Reset then using alt to select windows training results in almost instantaneous startup of the BCA message created and the beginning of the installation.

    4 1/2 hours from start of Windows 10 initial signature window.

    Then the second question. One to reach the Boot Camp update Office tries to start and install the drivers. Allows you to "list files...". "stage then sits at the bar about 5% green for 1 to 2 hours and does nothing. All actions in the Office of the W10 takes ages.

    In the meantime, auto update of the W10 appears a message saying that the updated graphics drivers as one of the few messages or actions during this period. Looks like Nvidia install with the entire package of experience (unwanted) etc. and very probably not the correct gpu driver.

    Finally deciding to cancel the installation of BC by killing the Setup.exe process. Then copy Boot camp install files on the desktop. Lasts 30 minutes to copy. Run again and this time, although taking 15-20 minutes to download and install later with the success message.

    Check the graphic driver it shows a yellow exclamation mark, so the following Microsoft instructions I use the uninstall option via the device and then Manager (slowly) come on board to load and download the latest Nvidia driver on their site for the GTX 780 M for 64-bit W10 etc. The same thing that I had used previously. Slow with running the Nvidia Setup program again, but eventually it works only to say that he could not install as unrecognized graphics device...

    He ends up with Microsoft PnP driver so it's at least sufficient start and run it again BC of the figure updates as all other drivers have been installed. To restart, but I get an error of K-Mode that is most likely related to this driver graphic and not possible to start in the new W10 Boot Camp partition after 7 hours.

    I have a picture of W10 backup recovery (WindowsImageBackup) I've had in a few weeks, but it will not install bet for the installed W10. I try with the ACO created the USB windows but can't seem to get a way to get into recovery mode and to get the menu to install it. I don't have a way to create a USB W10 recovery key now because my other Mac has just installed W7.

    Finally I tried to count a reset of the Recovery boot up option but it seems that it will take longer to start.

    I also went to the recovery and selected Boot Mode safe, but it opens on an empty black window and he's here doing nothing.

    Looks like I'll have to restart on via BCA and reinstall and try and solve the problem of graphics in order to install driver updates from BC and restart to W10 and hope that with the drivers, it returns to the operation and the normal starting time. Then update the gpu driver.

    I used and installed Boot Camp several times with over the years including previously an upgrade of W8.1 > W10 I used for over 6 months without problem. I've never known these installation very long or ice once in Windows even for the initial start upward.

    For any help or suggestion would be appreciated, and this seemingly simple process has now expanded to five days.

  • 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.

  • I loaded the preview of Windows 8 developer, how can I do a clean install of Windows 7?

    I was stupid and has not implemented a partition on my HARD drive.  I have to do a clean install of Windows 7, which is not too painful because my computer is new.  But I can't seem to start from the disc.  I changed the order in my BIOS but windows 8 charge even without even giving me a startup disk option.

    Hello JordanLeavitt

    Do not try to boot from the Windows 7 support. Instead of starting the Windows Developer Preview and then put in the disc of Windows 7. Run the Windows 7 Setup program and follow the installation process of Windows. I would like to know if it works for you. Thank you.

    EDIT: You end up with a Window.old folder on your C: drive. It's the Windows Developer Preview. You can delete this folder.

  • How to do a clean install of Windows 7 Professional of a DVD on the ProBook s 4530?

    So I have Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit installed on my laptop and I want to get rid of it completely and to do a clean install of Windows 7 Professional 64 bit from a DVD.
    I don't want to use windows anytime upgrade somehow! Because I have a few serious bugs with my current installation and a clean install, I can be sure to get rid of them

    I'd appreciate if someone could tell me how exactly to do this and if all my data will be deleted. If so, will it download all drivers HP and the software again by myself? :/

    roby1324 wrote:

    Bugs are not serious but they affect several programs and it is impossible to use my laptop, I was doing.
    And no, I have no recovery option, I don't have any dvd with my laptop, or something like that and personally I didn't do all the backups. Which was a mistake that I won't repeat.
    In addition, because of my college, I get a free copy of win 7 professional so why not use it?
    I have already burned on a DVD, now I just need to detail how a facility own n_n
    So after I installed win 7 Professional I just copy and replace Driverstore and C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRVSTORE instead of download the drivers?
    BTW, I'll accept your next answer as the snap

    You will use the copied Driverstore and C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRVSTORE for is the source of the drivers when you then. Do not replace the folder in the new installation of Windows with the folder that you copied from the initial installation of Windows. It would not be a good idea.

    Once you have done the copy of the file and have it practice you can simply put the installation DVD into the DVD drive and boot from it. There will be a point where asks you if you want to save your previous installation. Say no to it.

    At this stage you can always do a defined recovery disk. I recommend that you do this. This is the copy of the operating system and drivers you purcased your PC with. If you do not want is not a problem like UO can always buy it at HP over the next years.

  • Do I have to do a clean install of Windows 7 upgrade disc?

    Hello

    I use a retail version upgrade of Windows 7 Professional 64 bit on a desktop PC, I've implemented myself 4 years ago.  I have upgraded to Windows XP then.

    I think I would buy a new card mother and CPU in another year and I hope that my current installation of Windows 7 on my hard drive (fairly recent) current will be able to start with the new MB and CPU - and just to require new drivers for chipset.  However, I know that this will not work and I might have to reformat the drive and do a clean install of Windows 7.  I'll be able to do it from my Windows 7 upgrade installation disc?

    Unfortunately, I got rid of my old XP drive because I'm moving soon and I threw it without thinking.  Do I need to reinstall Windows 7?  I still have my old XP serial number and product key, and of course, my Windows 7 product key and serial number.  Also, I have an old system repair disc and could make another if this will help.  Thanks for your advice.

  • After a clean install of Windows 8, I can't get three monitors to work

    I did a clean install of Windows 8 pro.  I have a Dell T1500 with over-pants V4800 graphics.  This machine previously had Windows 7 installed and works with the ATI driver.  With Windows 7, the three monitors worked without problem.  Now, with Windows 8 installed I can't get two monitors to work.  I use the more updated driver for Windows 8 for the map on the website of AMD.  The third monitor can be seen on the page of the screen resolution, but I cannot "extend desktop...". "the third arch.  When I try to do so it gives me a message saying

    "The display settings could not be saved.  Please try another combination of display settings. »

    All three monitors are the same, Dell P2210.  I tried different resolutions. I tried the driver I was using on Windows 7, I uninstalled the driver and adapter repeatedly.  I installed all the drivers from AMD with the extras (hydravision, etc.).  I used just the default Windows drivers. I have change the placement of the monitors on the video card, but few matter where I plug them in, only two works.  All monitors are operational.  I even tried different monitors.  All this with no result.  I tried to use the Catalyst Control Center.  He sees the third monitor but just shows it as being disabled with no way to enable that I see from in the Catalyst Control Center.

    It is the last obstacle for me to fully use this machine to Windows 8.  I'm puzzled.  I have read many other forums.  I've heard of this problem with Windows 7 as well so I don't know that it's specific to 8 but could very well be.  Yet once I had Windows 7 with three monitors with the same card.  Contribution to this issue would be greatly appreciated.

    I had this problem on a Lenovo three installation of the monitor using the integrated display laptop, a monitor outside the mini HDMI and a third follow out of the HDMI Port among Replicator.

    In the end, it's a simple solution.  When you go to display settings, all three monitors not reimbursed up to 1920 x 1080 and configuration could never be saved - however the 3rd monitor only supported by 1680 x 1050, which is the resolution (recommended).  After changing the 3rd monitor for the resolution recommended, I was able to save the configuration to display > screen without problem resolution.

    I don't know why the resolution not supported has been set default to-after selecting the right pair, there is now no option to go to the highest resolution not supported on this screen.

  • Can I do a clean install of Windows 8 (without the DELL OEM software)?

    Hi people,

    I just bought a DELL Inspiron 17R laptop computer which came with Windows 8. I want to install an aftermarket SSD and do a clean install of Windows 8 on the SSD without all the stuff extra DELL piles on the computer in their factory. However, the laptop does not come with any media of Windows 8. My other options (copy windows divide in the SSD or use Windows backup and restore), both result in installing Windows 8 with a lot of software DELL.

    DELL said that they do not have the installation of Windows 8 media and I need to contact Microsoft to get it. Any ideas on how I can go about this? I'm happy to pay a nominal fee for the discs, but having already an OEM of Windows 8 installation, I want to avoid going to the shops and buy a new license.

    Any ideas are much appreciated.

    Kind regards

    Chris

    Unfortunately, your only option is to create a disk backup and restore using recovery tools provided by Dell and use it to reinstall Windows 8. This is especially true because you run Windows 8, which are not available elsewhere.

    or

    SSD of cloning:

    You can clone the installation for the SSD, provided that the SSD is large enough to accommodate the installation to be cloned.

    See

    http://www.ssdfreaks.com/content/664/how-to-clone-HDD-to-SSD-with-Windows-7s-own-software or (easier) use a copy of the trial of Acronis True Image Home.

    Note that, immediately after cloning, you must stop and unplug the original installation. The disc can be reconnected once the DSS started successfully.
