  • I deleted the partition system, pure can not install Win 7 Pro because of the error message

    So, I tried to install Windows 10 on a friends old PC (acer aspire 5920g). I bought a new SSD and traded with the HARD disk, performed a clean install of win 10 and realized that I should return to Win 7 after that too many things were not working well. So, I formatted the disk (230 GB) and system reserved partition. (I took the SSD and put it in an external enclosure that I have connected to my PC to 10 Win.)
    I didn't know much about this system reserved partition but read that it didn't really need when you want to perform a clean installation of another OS. After the partition reserved for formatting system, he said 500 GB of unallocated space. I didn't quite understand that the reader is a 240 GB Sandisk SSD. I put the other (230GB) partition to active and primary with the management tool disc to win 10.
    I put in the Win 7 DVD and change the setting of this kind it would be DVD first the bios startup. However, the Win 7 installation dialog does not appear at all. Instead BACK gives me this message: 'an operating system not found. Try disconnecting all drives that do not contain an operating system. Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to restart. »

    I tried different startup commands but did not get any result. What should I do next? How can I make a simple clean install of Windows 7 Pro (on the new SSD)?

    All the other things you did remove the HDD to format in another PC were unnecessary because that's all that is needed.  If other installation problems arise when it's properly you must follow these additional steps to fix failed Installation Windows 7 , that cover all possible problems.

  • Can not install Win 7 on a new HD

    My HD died today.  It is on Win XP and Win 7.

    I installed a new HD and tried to install windows using my Win 7 Upgrade disc.

    I get the following error message

    Setup could not create a new partition system or locate an existing partition of the syetem.  See logs of installation for more information.

    Have no idea on how to see the information of the newspaper because I'm under Win install.

    I realize that I use a CD to upgrade to actually do a fresh install, but could that be the reason of the weird error message.

    If anyone can give me a pointer on what to do then it would be GREATLY appreciated.

    If you need drivers, they can be delivered on any media: floppy disk, USB key, CD/DVD, or else your BIOS can read.

    Needed XP disk, later versions of Windows can accept any support.

  • Satellite A30 - after the BIOS update I can not install any OS

    Hey everybody

    I have a problem with my laptop Toshiba Satellite A30 PSA33E. I update my old BIOS and 1.7 and now I have a problem: I can not install any OS on my PC because it stops whenever I try to install. After 50 tests, I installed a Windows SP2, but my PC turns off always.

    My CPU is at 100% after I launch mozilla so I guess my problem is the BIOS. I try to install v1.8 BIOS and is not working and I get an error (not compatible with the installed BIOS)

    Where can I find the 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 ROM BIOS? Can someone help me please?
    THX

    The latest version of the BIOS should not cause this kind of thing. Have reset you the BIOS to its default settings?

    Have you checked the CPU radiator for an accumulation of dust? A can of compressed Air can help remove dust through the vents.

    What was the reason that you updated the BIOS, in the first place? Had previous problems with the system?

    Hello

    Satellite P300D-20U belongs to the PSPDCE series and I think that it was equipped with the chip graphics ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 (M82XT).

    Did you choose this series in the form of European driver of Toshiba?

    I see the Display Driver for Win XP v 8.477.

    If you can not install using the setup.exe, then you should try to install this driver in Device Manager.
    Mark (possibly marked with yellow exclamation) graphics card then choose put up-to-date driver, use the Advanced installation procedure, point to the driver files downloaded from the Toshiba page and apply.
