pass 32-bit of windows xp to windows 7 64 bit does ' t work!

I have windows xp home OEM with service pack 2 version 2002 provided with my computer. I had two hard drives, so I installed xp on a hard drive and win 7 update on the other.  My tough has failed then reinstalled windows xp and now I want to reinstall my windows 7 64 bit upgrade. Once installing everthing looks like its going to be well until internet exployer lights up after a few moments just my system. My system starts and stops that's all what he'll do! So, I put an exployer downloaded from the internet 8 on a cd and downloaded to get the system working as it starts.  So now, I should have a working internet exployer right? The system works, but I can not get the updates. I get an error message whenever I'm trying to get updates. Why is my 7 does not not to start with. I bought both a disk upgrade is windows 7 32 bit, the other 64-bit. I have not tried the 32 bit to see if it would work since I want the 64-bit version installed as if I had before. Will I need to put a second hardrive in and install like I did before having two operating systems is working on two different hardrives. I thought I could just install win 7 on xp. but it works not as shown above! If Iam back to just win xp on a disk.
 

I suggest you do a reinstall:

Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
Click Install now
Accept the license agreement
When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

You will receive the following warning:

The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

(At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

  • Acer Windows 7 upgrade kit does NOT work!

    Hi I have an Acer Aspire 5538 (4 GB of RAM and 220 GB of memory) I'm trying to upgrade to Windows (vista and both are family premium). I read elsewhere on the site that someone had the same problem as me and earasing everything on computer seemed to have worked according to your suggestions (so I did and put everything on my USB).

  • Is there a 32 bits 4 lightroom to download for 64-bit does not work on my pc

    Is there a 32 bits 4 lightroom to download for 64-bit does not work on my pc. 64-bit pshop CS6 won't work either, but 32 bit only!

    I can't speak for the version of Windows. It comes in a zip file, and when it is decompressed it creates an Adobe file. Inside of this file is the installer and another folder. If you open the second folder, you can see the installation of 32-bit and 64-bit programs. This is the 32-bit appropriate in your case, and you should be good to go.

    What should I do?  IE 64 bit does not work w/flash 10.0 or 10.1

    I (we) have the same problem. We do not wish to use the 32-bit browser. It's time to finally get to the next step and use all 64-bit applications.

    I cannot help thinking that Adobe delays this compatibility on purpose for some reason any. This is absurd.

    It will cost them market share in the affirmative. It's frustrating we're talking everywhere on the Internet.

    Adobe, you feel that you have reputation. Whether you like it or not, windows 7 64 bit is hot right now and is widely sold in every store in the small and large computer.

    You repeat for 3 years that you "will have a 64-bit version in the next release. Is not what some might call a lie? Of course I do. It is causing you to lose credibility because you're not be truthful.

  • Windows Server Update service does not work after the installation of KB2720211

    I have a Server 2008 SP1 32-bit Standard, which had the role of Server Update for the Windows software installed connected to a WSUS upstream server and everything worked, with 17 clients connected to him and get everything their approved patches.  It was a new server starting with WSUS added at this time 1 months ago.  He had to be upgraded to SP2 S2008 which I did and WSUS have continued to function.  After being on SP2, there was another 152 patches to be applied and after that WSUS does not work anymore.  It appears 1 patch that has been applied has been KB2720211 that seems to cause problems for a number of people.

    The problem is that the update service does not start.  An error message comes back that the service has not responded in a timely fashion and I can't find the log files anywhere on what it is.  Here is what has been done so far all that in the same issue:

    1 deleted WSUS and restarted and installed it again.

    2 Remove WSUS and Windows Internal Database, restarted and installed it again (using the download of KB972466).

    2.1 install SQL Management Studio and logged to an internal database SUSDB and checked it is not set to single user (I believe it is set for multiuser name but I'm going from memory)

    3. install the KB2720211.

    4. installation KB2734608

    5 remove WSUS and Windows Internal Database, restarted and installed it again (using the download of KB972466).

    I am looking for any information on how to solve what is the question, because there is nothing in the log files I can find and no event in the windows event viewer.  I am ready to start with the server however if there is something I can look at to possibly solve the problem, please let me know.
