  After that, the installation worked flawlessly!

• (Redirected) Clean install of W7

  I'm a keen Flight Sim fan. Somewhere a corruption that does not completely uninstall and reinstall FSX in my Aurora a. I tried many suggested procedures.

  I'm considering a clean install of my OS and then re-setup of FSX. (I bought a new office and plan to use my Aurora for FSX)

  If anyone can help with this procedure? I have my original CD of Windows black Alienware. I also have the original disks for NVidia drivers, Cyberlink DVD software, SoundBlaster, and Aurora Resources. Which sequence should I install these?

  There may be a simpler process "restore to as he left factory"?

• (Redirected) if I do a clean install of windows 10 with 64 bit OS?

  I recently did a clean install of windows 10 using the tool of media (I updated to 10 before the clean install and used my product key). I noticed that he installed a 32-bit windows 10 OS. I believe that my laptop has a 64 core processor and I wonder if I should have installed a system of operating windows 64 bits instead of 32 bits. I also wanted to update my RAM memory, which now 6 GB (2,40 GB usable). I have 2 RAM sticks, one with 4 GB and one with 2 GB.

  My questions are:

  Should I do another clean installation with a 64 bit 10 OS?

  My laptop is able to do this?

• HP ENVY x 360 Convertible: unable to do a clean install of Windows 7 on a HP Envy x 360 (win 10 preinstalled)

  Hello

  I recently bought a HP Envy X 360 laptop for work. The laptop comes with Windows preinstalled 10.

  I'm doing a clean install of Windows 7 and during the installation, I get an error message "A required CD/DVD drive driver is missing. If you have a drive floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now.

  Novel if the Windows installation media is in the Cd/DVD drive, you can remove safely for this step"

  I'm doing the installation via a USB key. The laptop has 3 USB ports and I believe these are all 3.0

  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  Extract the drivers to packages

  create directories

  c:\Drivers

  c:\drivers\glb

  c:\Drivers\x86

  c:\Drivers\x64

  c:\temp\mount

  c:\temp\DVD_Files

  -the first is for the x 86 and x 64 so I put them in a directory c:\drivers\glb

  -l' other contains x 86 vs x 64-put-the separate directories in separate directories.

  c:\Drivers\x86

  c:\Drivers\x64

  (1) copy the ISO files from the DVD to install Windows 7 in a directory - c:\temp\dvd_files

  (2) mount the boot.wim file

  -dism/mount-WIM /wimfile:c:\temp\dvd_files\sources\boot.wim / index: 1 /mountdir:C:\temp\mount

  DISM / image: C:\temp\mount / Add-Driver driver:c:\drivers\glb

  DISM image:C:\temp\mount / Add-Driver driver:c:\drivers\x64 (or x 86 if the picture is for a 32-bit install

  DISM /mountdir:c:\temp\mount unmount unmount

  (3) mount the install.wim file

  -you know what image to update because the install.wim file contains all the images (except Enterprise).  If installing 64-bit Home Premium - that would be index 2

  -dism/mount-WIM /wimfile:c:\temp\dvd_files\sources\install.wim / index: 2 /mountdir:C:\temp\mount

  DISM / image: C:\temp\mount / Add-Driver driver:c:\drivers\glb

  DISM image:C:\temp\mount / Add-Driver driver:c:\drivers\x64 (or x 86 if the picture is for a 32-bit install

  DISM /mountdir:c:\temp\mount unmount unmount

  Copy your files to USB and everything should be good.

  Bryan

  I forgot something.  The boot.wim file has two images.  So after step 2, you must do exactly the same thing again but on index 2 like this:

  mount the boot.wim file

  -dism/mount-WIM /wimfile:c:\temp\dvd_files\sources\boot.wim / index: 2 /mountdir:C:\temp\mount

  DISM / image: C:\temp\mount / Add-Driver driver:c:\drivers\glb

  DISM image:C:\temp\mount / Add-Driver driver:c:\drivers\x64 (or x 86 if the picture is for a 32-bit install

  DISM /mountdir:c:\temp\mount unmount unmount

• Clean install of an installation of Lenovo. DVD: UEFI vs Legacy + installation according to Lenovo Thinkpad user Guide

  Machine: T520 purchased February 2012

  O.S. W ~ 7 Pro 64-bit

  I want to wipe the hard drive, buy a Lenovo W ~ 7 DVD installation of PRO and make a completely clean install.

  The user guide for Lenovo (.pdf), Ch. 8, Adv Config, installation Windows 7, p. 295 (298 212) said:

  Start the installation of Thinkpad, choose UEFI against Legacy, and then insert the installation DVD.

  This of course does not apply when the hard drive has already been erased (required to 100% remove all traces of damage caused by a virus, including the recovery partition (Q-drive).

  When an intallation DVD is purchased from Lenovo, is not the first step to insert the DVD? Then there is probably a resulting install wizard an O.S. restored?

  If this isn't the case, please tell me what are the surprises in store, and where I can find a reliable resource to consult written!

  Thank you.

  Hi, Z

  Sorry, but I'm not all-new advanced in the understanding of the apparent contradictions, or how to proceed.

  It is not the case in this case that the Lenovo User Guide is referring to one of several types of clean install, and that he has no idea the other methods?

  If my first step to reinstall the version of Lenovo's W ~ Pro 7 is to use a 3 rd-party app to remove completely all the files from the hard drive, how do I then perform any action before inserting a facility provided by Lenovo dvd? I know that the BIOS software is separated from Windows, but it's still there? Alternatively, is the User Guide of Lenovo referring to a situation in which a first is not a so-called "hard drive wiping" before to start a clean reinstall? In addition, if a wipe everything first or not, is the guide referring to an installation of Microsoft (generic) dvd and not wearing only not on a Lenovo purchase? I think that an installation DVD purchased from Lenovo back on my computer, exactly what was there before and ask me not to make decisions as the UEFI against Legacy (in fact, the words "UEFI" and "Legacy" are not yet in any computer on my computer profile file.

  On the other hand, if the L ~ the User Guide instructions apply in fact to a hard drive wiped, the Guide says absolutely nothing about what criteria to use to make this 'choice' between UEFI 64-bit and 64-bit legacy.

  (When the Lenovo user guide instructions raise more questions than the original question, then these instructions are worse than no instructions at all!)

• After a clean install can I still get updates

  I came to the conclusion that I have to do a clean install and the company for the model mark I finally sent the operating system after 4 years now that I have (xp media center) came with sp2... but some how the jerk who took an illegal copy of xp pro also had put sp3 here... so when I do this may reinstall the sp3 from the ms site or I have to keep sp2 here until I can get a new copy of windows?

  And can I still get all the updates I've missed for the years spent 1 1/2?

• Clean install them, but issues

  HP G62 Nootbook/laptop, it is black with metal is based close to the screen

  So I erased from my hard drive (original Windows 7 home premium 64-bit OS) and did a clean install of windows 7 Edition home premium 64-bit, but when I started again and went on my new install of windows 7, the resouloution is inconsistent to the top of its in 1024 x 768 or something but it should be in 1366 x 768 he says all im using an adapter video when im not and to top that, out of the wireless card does not work.

  Please don't tell me to buy recovery disk that I don't want to spend more money on fixing my laptop

  I think that I need drivers for my video card to solve the problem of resouloution and drivers for my wireless card to fix that

  Please help me ive been trying to solve this problem for weeks and I have spent a lot of money to do

  Hello:

  There are many models G62, so my recommendation is to return the laptop and enter the product number located on the sticker and serial number in the appropriate box on the link below.

  Which will redirect you to the page support and pilot, where you will find all the drivers for your laptop.

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/siteHome?lc=en&DLC=en&cc=us&OS=228&sw_lang=&product=top

  There may be more than one model of your laptop wireless card.

  To find the right driver you need to do this, thanks for posting the the hardware ID for the network controller listed in the other devices category in Device Manager.

  Then I'll post the link for the driver, you need to do this.

  If you don't know where to find the hardware ID, please read the info on the link below.

  Relax and breathe.

  FIRST: Uninstall IE8 and IE7 if they are installed.  Back to all the way back to IE6.  You want other patches before you get those.  Reboot after doing this.

  You are not the first to ask questions about how to upgrade a clean Windows XP - not even installation in the last week. In fact, I will just cut and paste my answer here... here:

  Get SP2 (manually) and save it to your desktop. (There's a link here.) [You are a COMPUTER professional for now.]

  Install it.

  Then restart at least a couple of times for a few minutes between each restart.

  Get SP3 (manually) and save it to your desktop. (There's a link here.) [You are a COMPUTER professional for now.]

  Install it.

  Then restart at least a couple of times for a few minutes between each restart.

  Download at least Internet Explorer 7 (if it is not Internet Explorer 8).

  Install it.

  Reset.

  Now, try to get the updates through the normal web page (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/) and see how much more you can get (100 +) and keep checking until you no longer have.

  Back - let everyone know if it worked for you.

• Second 64 Vista clean install from upgrade costs DVD, $99?

  My first Vista 64 installation was a clean installation of a DVD upgrade, that I have upgraded XP, and only a clean install was possible, then (2005). I chose Vista, he was then (and I think still is) only possible to use my ASUS mobo to combine with this OS PCI video card.  The hard drive died recently, and after I reinstalled on a new hard drive and made the odd updates hundreds, telephone support assured me it's 100% possible for them to turn it on again, but as that (I think change remote registry) process was "Advanced Troubleshooting", it would cost $99.  I asked to speak to his supervisor, and after a wait, the line was cut off. I called back, got the same result, and after a long wait, the second tech supervisor told me the same thing, with a reference to an article that pointed out that if I reinstalled a previous operating system of microsoft and started the process of upgrading within this installation of windows, it would activate.  I tried the first time, and the upgrade option has been grayed out, so I think it won't, if I go to XP.

  Do I use? Or do I have to buy Vista again?

  Hello

  When you have a version upgrade of Windows, you must install the previous operating system before installing the upgrade.

  Once you install Windows XP, you must install all security and optional updates for unity.  When you are finished, you install the upgrade.  It can then be activated.

• H8 - 1520t: how to do a clean install of windows 10 on another drive?

  Hi all.

  Today, I decided to make the transition to windows 10. I want to do a clean install, however, because I recently had an SSD and install the OS on it instead of on my hard drive. First of all, I even need my product key to do a clean install on a new drive? I made a clone of my C: dirve just in case something goes wrong, cordially. My SSD is 100% empty and has 110GB available on this subject, but my main hard drive has about 400 GB of stuff on it, so cloning my drive for the SSD drive is out of the picture.

  So basically what I want to know is this: 1. do I need to have my windows key to do a clean install of windows 10 8.1 of windows on a different drive.

  2 if not, how to do a clean install on a new drive

  3. If I need, how can I get it?

  Thank you all

  The simplest solution would be to save the data that you want to keep on an external hard drive, then remove this data and programs from the old hard drive so that only the BONE remains.  From there use migration software from your manufacturer SSD to clone the old drive to the new SSD using a USB to SATA.

  The Windows key is embedded in the BIOS and will be recognized by the computer on any installs.  It would be desirable to collect your key, just in case, using Belarc Advisor, which gives you all kinds of info on your computer.  Do this before doing anything.

  Share your drive and be sure that it is operational.  Now you can perform a new installation of the upgrade of Windows 10 using an ISO bootable.  See step 5 or 6 of this tutorial:

• How to do a clean install of Windows 7 on Dell Inspiron 7520 (aka Inspiron 15R Special Edition)

  The operating system that are preloaded on my Dell Inspiron 7520 (a.ka. Inspiron 15R Special Edition) is Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium. I have a retail version of Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate and want to do a clean install on my laptop.

  My laptop was able to boot from the retail disk.

  After clicking on 'Install now' and accepted the terms and conditions of Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate, I checked the configuration box "Custom (advanced option" in which a new copy of Windows would be installed. The next screen that displayed contained the following bizzare message: no hard drive found. "Click on load a driver to provide a driver for installing mass storage.

  Could someone tell me where and how to find the mass storage driver?

  I am also having exactly the same problem:

  After getting BSOD (indicating iaStor.sys) every 20 minutes or so I decided to format the laptop and install my copy of opportunity of Win7 Pro SP1. I jumped in the Win7 DVD and I saw that the couldn t of windows setup find any HARD drive to install to.

  I downloaded the drivers from Intel (f6flpy - x 64) and them burned on a CD. It took me a few tries (I kept getting error messages), but the computer finally accepted Intel Mobile Express Chipset SATA RAID Controller drivers.

  Finally, I could see the readers. So I deleted the partition of 1 TB, created two new partitions (~ 100 GB and GB 890) and clicked on 'format' on two of them.

  But when I tried to select ONE of them as the destination for Windows drive, I received the following message:

  "Windows cannot be installed to Disk 0 Partition 3. Details: Windows cannot install to the selected location. "Error 0 x 80300001.

  So now when I turn on my laptop (since there is no operating system or anything), I get a black screen with the following message:

  Windows Boot Manager «»

  Windows could not start; A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To solve the problem:

  blablabla (nothing really useful)

  Status: 0xc0000034

  Info: an unexpected error occurred. »

  Before I read this thread I also tried to change the SATA settings to AHCI and ATA, but both STILL produce ANOTHER problem: installing Windows recognises the hard drives, but it never rose from 0% of the phase of "expanding files" installation.

  Please, can anyone help?

• How to clean install windows 7 on T400, am I right?

  My T400 pre-installed with Windows Vista Business, so I would get a clean installation of Windows 7 on my laptop.

  My method: clean install Windows 7 on the laptop with a single partition (infact there are two of them, including the 100 MB partition, created by the system Windows 7 itself.). After installation, I will set up my internet and just download the ThinkVantage System update, then install it. Then I'm going to update and install all the drivers and by the ThinkVantage System Update ThinkVantage tools. So I think that the work has got an end. Am I wrong?

  Another question: If there is a single partition, when I want to use Rescue and Recovery for my system backup or files then keep the backups to the partition, how Rescue and Recovery restores my system clean install without destroying the backups? In my opinion, if when the restore process is complete, the clean install GETS back but the backups always not to locate their position?

  Thank you and enjoy for all the answers!

  first of all, I hope you did just product recovery disc in case you want to load the original image, once you do a clean installation, the option has disappeared. 2 update does not offer CSS or RnR so you will have to do it manually. 3. Once you have everything installed, you will need to make a backup of that this backup will be used to retrieve at your own facility. If you do not create this backup, there is no way to recover your newly installed win.7
