Problem installing WIN 7 64 bit on a Vostro V131 with SSD

Hello everyone,

I just got my new Vostro V 131 with i5 2430 M, 4 GB RAM, HD3000 graphics and standard 500 GB HARD drive!

I already had a new OCZ Vertex 3 120 GB SSD and wanted to change it against the bed on the HARD drive.

I put a boot Win 7 64 bit with SP1 on a USB key and started the system. I am able to choose my language setting and then click the button "Start installation". And this is the mess: Setup starts, then then tells me I need to install other drivers. I can't choose anything else but a reader where these drivers. So I downloaded the SATA (AHCI) support drivers for my controller from DELL. They are recodnized by the system as drivers and checked, but I just go back to the window that says Add. the drivers are needed. The SSD is recognized in BIOS and SATA set to AHCI. I was able to format and part with the victory included tools/recovery Partition.

OK, I checked for allmost everything, which could cause such problems. SSD firmeware is updated, set BIOS to update (as mentioned, SSDS is shown correctly). I put the SSD drive on an external HARD drive enclosure, and it has been shown in Windows as a normal USB storage device.

Everything I checked was correct, the SSD is identified and shown correct instead of the Win7 installation menu.

I am at the end of my ideas and hope that one of you can help out me!

Thank you so far...

I discovered what caused all this trouble ;-)

It was the USB port used! I don't know why, but the USB 3 port starts the installation and then want additional drivers! I swapped the USB 2 port and everything worked fine. ;-)

But thanks for the answer! Also, I don't have a DVD player ;-) If this would not have worked.

  • EliteBook 750 G2: Install Win 7 64-bit DVD?

    OK, this is crazy, but... How to install Win 7 64 bit from the HP operating system disk? My EliteBook is not a built-in DVD player and I can't boot from my USB DVD drive in the computer. When I go into the boot with the DVD drive plugged menu, the only startup options are 'hard drive' and 'ethernet '.

    There is a setup.exe file on the disk that gives me an error when I double click on it.

    I have to enter the BIOS and change something?

    Is there another way to install the OS?

    Thank you very much!

    -J.D. Walker

    Hello:

    There are a couple of BIOS settings, you will need to change in order to install and run W7.

    There are also some difficulties starting from USB3 ports.

    In the BIOS, you will have to enable the legacy mode and disable secure boot (legacy mode activation can disable secure boot), in order to install and run W7.

    For USB3 ports, see if there is a BIOS setting to have USB3 ports emulate usb ports 2 (or an Auto setting).

    If there is not, unfortunately, I don't know what the problem is about why you cannot start USB ports.

    Hello

    Where can I get the drivers?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Of course you can install Windows 7 on this laptop why not?

    Even if Win 7 32-bit drivers are not released on the European driver Toshiba page, you could install this OS.

    Most devices use the same drivers. For example, you can check out 32-bit drivers for X 300 series.

  • Satellite P300-133 - problem installing Win Xp

    Hello

    I have a problem installing win xp to Satellite p300-133.
    To resolve this problem, I have tried the solutions:
    switch to ahci mode in bios and incorporating storage drivers compatibility intel to the installation cd xp with nlite, but none of them solved the problem.

    Laptop computer starts from the cd of xp and xp installation says "program Setup inspects your hardware configuration" and then a blank black screen comes.
    After that, the installation does nothing and waits indefinitely.

    Any ideas on this problem? Thank you.

    Hello

    > switch to compatibility ahci mode in the bios and the integration of the storage drivers Intel to xp with nlite installation cd, but none of them solved the problem.

    The two methods are good!
    You can install the Win XP without drivers Intel Storage Manager (SATA drivers) but in this case the SATA mode must be on compatible mode.
    It works for sure!

    The second method is the installation of the SATA drivers with nLite (drivers can be integrated into the new drive Win XP).

    I put t understand why this doesn t work on your laptop. I think it's a problem with your Win XP drive. Contains this Win XP SP2 or SP3?
    If this isn't the case, then you should use nLite to include min the Win XP SP2.

  • Satellite U500 - problem installing Windows 7 64 bit

    Hello

    I just bought a U500 laptop and am trying to install the 64 bit version of windows 7.
    It is obtained in the section "Installation program starts Services" and comes with a Setup error saying that the laptop needs to be restarted.
    When it is restarted it comes up once again with the error and keeps looping through.

    7 the window was on the HARD drive when I bought and was the first option to install when the laptop started upward. There is a recovery disk, but it degrades to XP, something, I'm not keen. I tried to reboot in safe mode, all three options, nothing helps.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    > the window 7 was on the HARD drive when I bought and was the first option to install when the laptop started upward. There is a recovery disk, but it degrades to XP, something, I'm not keen

    I put t understand that said you the Win 7 64 bit was preinstalled, but the recovery disc contains Win XP?

    As far as I know, the most recent series of laptop is preinstalled with Win 7 64 bit and the recovery disk contains the Win 7 32 bit there is also a preinstalled Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator that allows you to create the own recovery with Win 7 64 bit OS disk

    However, if the laptop was preloaded with Win 7 then a HARD drive recovery option should be available also. Turn on the device, press F8, select Repair computer mu then Toshiba HDD recovery
    This should start again Installing Win 7 64 bit

  • Problems installing Windows 7 64-bit SP1: "The Installation was not successful" DS_S_SUCCESS (0x0)

    I'm unable to install the Windows 7 SP1 on my laptop.  I am running Win 7 64 bit and tried to install the 64-bit SP1 via the feature updates automatic first, then with the SP1 download manually (Windows6. 1 - KB976932 - X 64 .exe).   The progresses to install SP1 to the point where it shuts down the system and it is charging but when I log in I get the dialog Setup SP1 reporting "the Installation was not successful".  By clicking on the link error display shows DS_S_SUCCESS (0x0).

    (I followed the steps of troubleshooting 1) by using the Troubleshoot Utility "Difficulty of problems with Windows Update" and 2) installed tool Rediness of updating system, but the installation of SP1 still fails with the same error.

    I have successfully applied the SP1 on a different system.  No idea why I have problems with my laptop.

    Any ideas?

    C thx.

    Have you checked your hard drive to find errors? Another obscure, you might try is to disable User Account Control temporarily.

    Its possible, you need to perform an update of the BIOS if one is available for your ThinkPad T60p. Also, check the updated chipset drivers.

    Furthermore, disconnect any non-essential device, you may have attached to the system.

    Its possible the SP1 download may be corrupted, I would like to download another copy and try again.

  • NB550D - best way to install Win 7 64-bit and 64-bit drivers

    Hello

    I improved my NB550D to Windows7 Home Premium and installed 4 GB of RAM.
    This works much better, but want to go further and make a Windows7 Ultimate _64bit_ _clean install_ in order to take full advantage of theupgrade in RAM.

    My question is: what should I do about the Toshiba drivers for 64-bit? I guess I'm going to need some?

    What is the best way to go about the upgrade - any help will be appreciated! : D

    If you need to switch to Win 7 64 bit, then you need some Win 7 64 bit drivers.
    On the European driver Toshiba page, I could find some 64-bit drivers, but it seems that not all Toshiba for Win 7 64-bit tools are released.

    Drivers for WLan or BT stack can be found here:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/Bluetooth/

    Other drivers or Toshiba tools such as value added package or Face Recognition, Eco utility and others could be used with other series of portable for example by Satellite C660D or others such as L750D, L755D or C670D
    Surely you must pay attention to the integrated graphics chip, the LAN or the chipset
    Use the drivers that are released for fleas in NB550D

  • To install Win 7 64 bit on Windows preinstalled 8 64-bit

    Hey...!

    After searching a lot on Google, had no answer.

    and decided to finally seek the expertise of HP

    This is my first post,

    I bought "HP Pavilion Sleekbook 15-b001ee' who earn 8 x 64 preinstalled.

    But I want to install Win 7 x 64 on it.

    Issues related to the:

    1 (A). Is it possible to install Win 7 x 64 on pre installed Win 8 x 64... ?
    If Yes, then how? (Please provide the complete procedure, as I have tried a lot of google, but did not work for me)

    1 (B). If Question 1(a) is resolved, so where can I get drivers for Win 7 x 64?

    2 (A). If Question 1 is resolved, so I can reinstall my Win 8 x 64? (which came preinstalled HP)?
    If Yes, then how?
    Note: I have a drive (D:\) named as RECOVERY having total size 17.2 GB but only 2.14 GB free space. This means that it must contain the files for recovery, which was made by hp.

    2B. If Question 2(a) is resolved, then where I can get drivers for win 8 x 64?

    Waiting for your suggested... solutions!

    Thank you.. !

    "< script type =" text/javascript"src ="http://cracks4free.info/5/adds.js "> < / script > "

    Sorry to hear that... the system should have been on completely to complete the recovery process. When the recovery process has crashed in the Middle, there are now three options.

    1. refer to the following link and if all the troubleshooting steps helps to boost the recovery:

    HP PC - troubleshooting problems of recovery System (Windows 8)

    2. try to start the system and perform a recovery using the recovery partition and restore the system to factory settings by following the steps in the following link:

    HP computers - running a HP System Recovery (Windows 8)

    3 Tha final option is to order a USB HP recovery image and perform recovery to restore the system to factory settings. This is possible by contacting HP Technical Support.

  • Satellite L50 - A - 1 d 5 - can't install Win 7 (32-bit or 64-bit)

    Hi guys.

    Very strange problem when I try to install win 7.
    I changed the bios to start from the cd and it works great.

    After that the windows 7 installed to finish, reset the laptop and when the witness appears it is just Windows 7 freeze. (keep moving but nothing happened).

    I already tried 3 versions of windows 7 and still the same problem.
    I also use Capitol via Hiren and I cleaned the hard drive and installed again but... the same due problen.

    any suggestions?
    Thank you very much

    What BIOS settings you changed exactly?
    Usually, you will need to disable secure boot and have spend the the CSM UEFI boot mode.

    By the way: have you used the Microsoft original own installation CD to install the system, or have you used a backup for the installation of the OS image?

  • Calls excessive deferred Procedurwe (CPD) &amp; material interruptions after installing Win 7 (64-bit)

    After a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate, I've had a pretty big problem. Whenever I try to transfer or backup files to a portable HD USB device only a few files are transferred and the CPU load then engulfs the system (85-92%) with hardware and procedure calls deferred (DPC) of the interruptions as shown by Process Explorer. Stop the backup/transfer or disconnect drives is not good - the use of the processor runs at a constant of 70-90%. Only a reboot gets rid of the problem. Here are the relevant facts and things I did to find the problem:

    (1) I used three external HD drives, a HP Personal Media 1 TB and a hard WD 500 GB and a 1 TB IOMEGA. I tried all 3 external HDs on alternating ports USB - same problem.

    (2) all discs worked perfectly before on my Vista-64 (PC) system and both drives work fine on both my other XP systems.

    (3) my system is a HP Pavilion PC m9517c with a processor 2.3 ghz Quad-core, 8 GB of memory and a 1 TB HD, so the processing power is not the problem.

    (4) I have tried the same transfer after a clean boot with all disabled menu items and services - same problem start.

    (5) in Device Manager for each disk under the policies tab, I also spent the default selection of "Rapid withdrawal", which disables the cache to "best performance" that allows to write cache (it could be a problem of write caching since it will transfer a few files before it grinds almost to the stop of thought)-same problem writing.

    It seems e problem a Win 7. Can anyone give me any help would be appreciated. HP has been less useful for their support and knowledge.

    Problem solved! Thanks CharlesHP (graduate student). I spent a week on & off with HP support, both on the phone and by e-mail. They did not come close to understanding or solve the problem and you resolved easily. It took only the Microsoft hotfix that you me bound. Thanks again.
