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

Similar Questions

• I was referred to this site. Problems with installing Windows on the new drive.

  Greetings!

  I just installed a new hard drive on my Mini 311 1037. I bought the HP recovery discs. The operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium (I guess it was the correct operating system for that computer). The installation seemed fine, but after installing the drivers, I get the message, "Windows Setup could not configure windows to run on a hardware on this computer."  Then after the restart, after the initial windows screen, I get a message that says "Windows cannot complete the installation. To install Windows on this computer, run the Setup again. "I atempted to iireinstall 3 times. All diagnostic tests are good: the hard drive, the memory. I have no idea what to do next. Help, please?

  If you can read the Microsoft Windows 7 of 25-character license key, you can download a Windows 7 ISO file to burn to a DVD or USB flash drive. The version must match that's installed on your PC as shown on the sticker COST Microsoft fixed on the bottom of the laptop. Like Windows Home Premium.

  Links to downloads of Windows 7 ISO files:

  http://www.mydigitallife.info/official-Windows-7-SP1-ISO-from-Digital-River/

  Use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to convert the ISO file you download. Link and instructions below. You need to a DVD + R or DVD - R. Or a flash drive 4 GB to use the USB method.

  http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool#installation

  Use 25 characters on the COA key to activate the installation.

  The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

  Then, go to the page support and driver to install the drivers you need.

• I would like to re - install Windows Vista, but my drive does not all service packs. Download Windows Vista with service pack already on it?

  so, I'm running vista 64 bit basic, I want to do a fresh install,

  but my drive is very early (noservice packs ect) can I download of ms a basic family of complete up-to-date vista 64-bit with sp2 with my cd key? or should I shut up and make from my cd and cope? If I do a reinstall should I reinstall all my programs as well?

  Hello yaleblor,

  You can download the full SP2 for Vista from here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=16468

  Save the file to a CD/DVD or USB key.

  Once you have the service pack downloaded file, you can use your current Vista CD to install a fresh copy of Windows Vista on your C: drive. Once you have installed Vista you can install service pack 2 directly from the CD/DVD or USB you originally stored it on. All you then need to do is to run the Windows updates to update your system completely.

  You can find out how to do a clean install by looking at this link from my Web site: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/install_windows_vista.htm

  After you install Windows Vista, you will need to re - install all your programs, so make sure that you have all the programs by hand before starting to consider reinstalling Windows.

• IM problems with my wireless connection, it says my DNS server does not respond, what is this, can help to somone, thanks

  IM problems with my wireless connection, it says my DNS server does not respond, what is this, can help to somone, thanks

  Hello

   

  Thanks for posting the question in the Microsoft Community!

  You can't use the wireless connection and the message that the DNS server is not responding.

  The problem may occur if the computer is unable to connect to the DNS server.

  To check, I suggest you follow the steps:

  Method 1: Re-register the DNS

   

  a. Click Start. Type cmd in the search box and press ENTER.

  b. at the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:
  ipconfig/flushdns (there is a space between ipconfig and /)

  It will display the message properly emptied the cache of DNS resolution.

  c. at the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:
  ipconfig/registerdns (there is a space between ipconfig and /)

  d. at the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:

  ipconfig/all (there is a space between ipconfig and /)
  The command ipconfig/all command displays for all your network adapters, TCP/IP in Windows settings.

  If your IP address of your Local network connection is 0.0.0.0 or 169.x.x.x (where x is a number any), then your computer does not receive an IP address from router.
  If this is the case, try this:

  i. enough at the command prompt ipconfig and press ENTER

  II. ipconfig / renew in command prompt and press ENTER

  The test again by typing ipconfig/all to see what is the address? (If you are on a router, it should start by or 192.168.0.x or 192.168.1.x 10.x.x.x)

  Method 2:

  a. click Start and then click Control Panel.

  b. go to the networking and sharing Center and then click on change adapter settings.

  c. right-click on connection to the Local network and select Properties.

  d. Select Internet Protocol Version 6, and then click Properties.

  e. choose the DNS server to obtain an address automatically , then press Ok.

  f. Select obtain IP address automatically.

  g. Repeat steps for Internet Protocol version 4 as well.

• Problem with installing windows

  Hello

  I bought my turn dell Jan/13 with original operating system (Windows 8). Last week, I got some problems with his knees. so I decided to re - install the operating system and upgrade to windows 10. I downloaded the 8.1 Windows and installed successfully but the problem is it of not accept my key. What should I download windows 8 and install it again. or is there a way around?

  You need not go to 8.1 Windows if you want to go to Windows 10. use of creating media tool to update your system.

  If you can't get Windows 10 to get 10 app windows or Windows update, you always have the option of ISO to upgrade.

  Download Windows 10 media creation tool

  Simply select this option of PC/improvement.

  After you download the Windows 10 installation files using this tool, you can upgrade your existing 10 Windows operating system, or you can create the bootable USB drive or DVD to install Windows 10 key later. You can also save the installation files to the ISO in offline mode file format, if you wish.

• Problem with the HP Media Center M7670. UK - a - does not start after you install an update to Apple Quicktime

  I just installed the latest update to Apple Quicktime (once an update message appears on the screen). When asked if I wanted to re - start the PC now, I clicked on Yes.

  Now the computer does not start. The power led lights up, then the hard drive light blinks for a while, then nothing happens and the PC begins to beep. The beeps are repeated, with 2 short beeps and one long beep. What do the beeps mean?

  Then a CMOS clear would be the next logical step in troubleshooting.

  Here is a link to your motherboard page.

  Clearing CMOS information at the bottom of the document.

  It is usually the last step before giving up on a motherboard.

  The problem you are experiencing is hardware motherboard related firmware.
