  • The time machine shaped my result of ssd unable to check my key when installing windows?

    Brief summary:

    My machine: Macbook pro mid 2012
    What I have: Samsung Evo SSD, optical Bay caddy, 8.1 windows bootable dvd with serial
    I wanted to do: install windows in my second internal SSD (optical Bay)
    What went wrong: Enter key I get: "we could not verify the product key. Please check your installation media. »

    I suspect that the problem is: I have formatted by mistake the SSD mac front.

    Question: Has been put in shape my SSD the cause of the problem? and if yes how can I do to reset?

    Detailed long version

    I have a macbook mid 2012 retina not pro that I wanted to have the option to be able to boot from a windows and a mac. As a result, I bought a samsung EVO solid state drive for this purpose. I decided to try the drive and put it in instead of the optical drive caddy the day I got it. I was invited with the message that the mac was unable to acknowledge it and follow a few steps online to format. I would find it later when we look at a forum that I should have left the unformatted SSD. However, I tried to install windows on the EVO by placing the optical drive in the computer, put the EVO in the main Bay. I put the windows cd in and followed the installation. Everything was good until I had to put in the windows key. I put in and received the message "we could not verify the product key. Please check your installation media. "I double checked to see if it was right by voluntarily entering a wrong key he gave me a message that the key was invalid. Snooping around, I tried to reset the drive by using the offer of advanced tools and I was told that windows did not have access to the partition or something of the sort.

    A format the drive of the source of the error and if so is it possible to return to the factory settings?

    All the advice/help is greatly appreciated! Thank you very much!

    The formatting SSD is not related to the issue with the product key. Windows Setup reformats the SSD in the main Bay NTFS still. If the SSD is less than 2 TB, you can format the MBR with attempts as well as FAT32 format.

    Your model is compatible with the installation from DVD and USB, both. You can also download the ISO of Microsoft W8.1 to the https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows8ISO to ensure that your DVD is not a several bits (32-bit and 64-bit DVD).

  • Error: "could not create a new partition or locate a" when installing Windows via Boot Camp 10

    This error occurs on my 2012 15-inch MacBook Pro. I have 2 hard drives. One dedicated to OSX and one for Windows. This is my first install bootcamp. I let bootcamp create partitions, but to the partition/disk screen hard to choose, I get a message saying: "we could not create a new partition or locate a.. The partition has been formatted to NTFS.

  • HP 15 - r014TX: GFT Drive Partition problem when installing Windows 7 on my HP 15 - r014TX

    Hello
    I have a new HP laptop that had windows OS 8.1. OS has been corrupted and now when I try to install Windows 7 on the same I get this error: "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is the GPT partition style. »
    So, I saw a few videos of the solution on youtube and found that I need to convert MBR mode and for that I need to clean the drive and re partition which will result in the loss of data. As I don't have a BONE in my laptop that I can't even get back to the top of my data.
    Some can give me alternatives by which I can back up my data or install windows without losing my data.
    I tried the option "Repair Windows" so while installing windows7, but even that does not work as the OS recovery file is missing.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Hello

    Just to make sure, when starting in legacy mode, you'll normally see two optical drive options:

    CDROM

    and

    CDROM (uefi)

    You see two options, and if so, you select the CDROM (uefi)?

    Otherwise, an option would be to remove the drive HARD, place it in an external enclosure - is an example of the link below - connect to another PC and see if you can access your files.

  • Qosmio G30-176: BSOD when installing Windows Vista Edition full

    I have my wisdom(??!!) I bought a Toshiba Qosmio g30-176 with preinstalled Windows XP MCE 2005. The plan was to install Windows Vista Ultimate on drive D: (do the dual machine boot XP & Vista). I've updated the BIOS today on the Toshiba site and I ran Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor.

    I started the upgrade of Vista (custom) and installed the Toshiba RAID drive C: Qosmio (driver C:\toolscd\raid) driver. Installation starts copying the files from the Vista installation disc. This completes OK.

    The upgrade then continues to "unpack"(?) ". files - part way through this restarting of the o/s.
    To restart the Qosmio stop with the blue screen of death and the "SESSION3_INITIALIZATION_FAILED" message "STOP: 0x0000006f (0xC000009D, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000).

  • Partitioning of the problems when installing Windows 7

    I have a HP Compaq CQ58 supplied with Windows 8. I switched to Ubuntu and I'm doing a clean install of Windows 7. Installation came at a prompt asking "Where do you want to install Windows?" and I have three partitions:

    Disk 0 Partition 1 - 94.0 MB system
    Disk 0 Partition 2-296, 4 GB primary
    Disk 0 Partition 3-1, 6 GB primary

    When you select one of them, I get "Windows cannot be installed to Partiion Dis 0 x." On the 1 (System) partition, the details are:

    Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is the GPT partition style.

    Windows cannot be installed to this hard disk space. The partition is a partition of EFI (ESP) system.

    On Partition 2 (primary), the details just say:

    Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is the GPT partition style.

    And on the Partition (primary) 3, tell the details:

    Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is the GPT partition style.

    Windows cannot be installed to this hard disk space. Windows must be installed on a partition formatted in NTFS.

    Windows cannot be installed to this hard disk space. The partition is of an unknown type.

    Well, I had nothing in particular requiring a backup (it is a computer of leisure, all of our important data are on other devices), then I hit the "Format" button on all three in turn try to get the installation to run on one of them. If any OS at this point is completely erased. I need to know, now, what to do. I'm not comfortable with my computer knowledge to go and delete partitions without professional opinion. I'm not used to have more than one partition and wouldn't mind consolidating unless HP has good reasons to keep them separate.

    Hello

    There is no reason to keep these partitions and you can remove them using the disk management on the following installation disc.

    Left click a partition for highlight.

    Click the blue link "drive Options (Advanced).

    Select the option 'delete '.

    Repeat this step for each partition listed.

    Once completed, you should see only 1 entry showing that "the unallocated space on disk 0.

    Click on the button 'Next' operation of installation of Windows 7.

    Be aware that Windows 7 will also create a "System" of about 100 MB hidden partition that contains the files and start the recovery environment.

  • Dell Inspiron M5030 black screen when installing Windows 8.1 on 'Get Ready devices.

    Dell Inspiron M5030

    I had Windows 7 installed and works perfectly, but I wanted to install Windows 8.1, I tried a new install first (also tried to upgrade to windows 7). Everything installs fine but when it restarts for the first time the windows logo appears and 'Getting devices % ready' then the screen goes black.

    Ive tried:
    -For let sits for awhile to see if it comes back, and I get nothing after hours
    -J' plugged a monitor without response (also tried to close the cover put to sleep and go to bed)
    -J' quit and tried to start in Safe Mode, but it says that Windows cannot boot mode safe because windows setup has not finished

    I can start on my windows repair and go to the recovery prompt but don't know what to do. It looks like a video driver issue, the laptop has an AMD Radeon HD 4200. If thers any why to install the driver before implementation ready devices? Help, please!

    I had the same problem and did this and it worked without problems... The idea is to integrate the drivers updated in the ISO/DVD. The drivers supplied with the W8.1 DVD do not work as well as I was getting the BSOD with the installation.

    1. download Winreducer and install all the 3rd party software that it requires.  Look in the howto.pdf

    2. download the latest AMD Catalyst drivers from AMD website (not beta).  Drivers Windows 8, I think that the list.

    3. extract the files to temp dir.

    4 copy files and drivers since the temp (packages\drivers\display\w86a_inf) directory and the sub (B149756) to the dir dir drivers winreducer (work\integrate\drivers\x64).  In the x 64 dir, you should have cats, msi, INF and the b149756 files.

    5. run winreducer.  Make sure you have practice an iso to DVD Windows 8.1.

    6. Once you mount your iso, you will spend for options and features screen.  You can see the presets, appearance, features... on top.   Let alone all the options EXCEPT the location of the drivers under System.  Change this to x\WORK\INTEGRATE\DRIVERS\x64.  Don't forget to change the x to your location.

    7. click on finish.  Save as an iso. Apply.  It will save the iso changed in the winreducer folder.

    8 burn and install.

    9. After you are done installing, install the driver package that you downloaded in step 2 by running setup.exe in the main dir.

    10 thank me LOL

    It worked for me on an Inspiron M5030.  I hope that my answer is detailed enough.

    The product key is located on the COA sticker attached to the bottom of your laptop or in the battery compartment. In rare cases it can be found also in the memory compartment. For systems of the Tower, look at the top or the side of the system unit. It looks like the following:

    Windows Movie maker 2.6, is NOT a "new and improved" program

    On the contrary, the 2.6 version is just a "watered-down" version It is used for some Vista computers that are unable to support its native version of 6.0 integrated which, in my opinion, is the best version of Windows Movie Maker.

    2.6 is compatible with Windows 7, but why waste your time when Win 7 can have Windows Live Movie Maker that is intended for Windows 7?

    I think that there is something wrong with the SATA drivers. My Satellite L300 works with XP without problems or BSOD when installing.

    The SATA drivers are in this package, and the Intel Storage Manager you can download on the Toshiba site.
    You can create your own installation with nLite (http://www.nliteos.com/) disc.
    If I have integrated the SATA drivers, you do not have to press F6. The HARD drive will be automatically recognized.
