  • Possible hard drive after clean install failure

    Appreciate it really all thoughts on this issue, because it drives me crazy and apparently get worse...

    I added 8 GB of RAM and an SSD Samsung 840 PRO in a Mac mini in 2011 about three years ago. At the time, the Fusion drive has just been introduced, and I found the online instructions to configure the combo HD SSD/existing as a Fusion player. After ironing out a few bugs, it worked perfectly (at least from the point of view of the user) for nearly three years. Significant speed increase, could handle more intensive applications of multiple users, etc.

    Three weeks ago, I decided to do a clean install. I wanted to get rid of all accumulated waste, as well as some of the Notification Center widgets don't work properly. Immediately I noticed the startup time is longer, but once connected, all seemed well. Just moved old files to the new system from a Time Machine backup, and everything worked well. In disk utility, it looked as if the OS has created two discs as a Fusion player, so I left as what.

    A week ago, I started notice stuttering in the downloaded movies in iTunes, which never happened before. Around the same time I started having the spinning beachball while running almost nothing: Safari with less than 10 tabs open (no video game), iTunes (inactive), Mail, etc... Impose anything. I performed first aid in disk utility and found no problem. I kept the activity monitor for the last 24 hours with nothing significant, other apps does not not showing the spinning ball.

    I saw someone else evoke here EtreCheck, so I did that and got two red warnings:

    Macintosh HD (2) /: 621,05 go-go (295,75 free) - 31 errors

    Drive failure!

    I guess at this point that OS X put in place the incorrect Fusion drive, causing conflicts... But I don't know what to do about this. I have several backups, so this isn't a problem.

    This community is a great resource, thank you to everyone who adds. As I said, I'd like to advice for this...

    I think it is obvious that you have a disk failure. Could be the SSD, HD, or both.

  • Before clean install I had 64 system now I System 32

    At 64 after clean install system now System 32, what hurts?

    I had a problem with icons, so I did a system restore, did not work got 0xc0000022 messages, so I tried again a date different, same thing, done once more.  Done SFC/scannow and noticed the System 32, I also ran the SFC in even safe mode system 32.  I can post my info system if necessary.

    Hello

    Thanks for the screenshots.

    The 64-bit operating system can run both 32-bit programs and 64-bit programs. 32-bit operating system cannot run 64-bit programs.

    By looking at system information, your PC is 64-bit.

    Now, looking at prompt screenshot, System 32 that you see, is just a folder in a folder name. It's just a default folder in all the operating systems Windows with Name System 32. So if you install 32-bit programs or 64 bits, the default value is 32-bit.

    Hope that answers your query.

    Basically, I want the new SSD to be as clean as possible. Obviously, I would only the files and applications on my computer current to be transferred. I would be grateful and recommendations on the best way to do this. Thank you.

    Look at these links for orientation:

  • Drivers WIFI 14 m, before clean install

    Hello, I INTEND to reformat my Thinkpad Edge 14 Type 0578 to a Windows 64-bit instead of the current 32-bit 7Enterprise. Pro. But I understand that a lot of people have had problems finding wireless drivers. Is there something I can do in ADVANCE to make sure that I don't have wifi problems. Can I backup the drivers I currently have? Where is my wireless driver? I know I have a realtek 8192 but don't know which. I went on the realtek download site and found all these:

    RTL8192CE-VA4

    RTL8192DE-CU

    RTL8192 8192 OF VC

    RTL8192DU - VC

    RTL8192E

    RTL8192SE

    RTL8192SU

    RTL8192U

    The only way to test it would be on a machine as your running 64 bit Windows 7 with the same WIFI card.

    Just make sure you install the driver for power management and the utility of keyboard shortcuts.  After getting your machine put in place with the 64-bit version, install and run TVSU and it will find and install your drivers and utilities for you.  You need to install net.framework 3.5 SP1 of MS first in order for TVSU to run.

    Update Windows will try to install the driver for the PM, don't let it.

    I saw these threads, I was in one of them.  If you have problems, we understand them.

    Kind regards

  • Reformat Windows 7 hard drive for the next clean install Windows ISO 10

    This is in anticipation of the next clean install of Windows 10 ISO.

    It is understood that I need to move from Win 7 to win 10 first, before clean install. (Select MS verify the legitimacy)

    It is understood that I need to reformat the hard drive before a clean install.

    It is also understood that the "recovery disk" can reformat the hard disk.

    ===================================================

    One of my computers in Win 7 I would successfully created the "recovery discs. (Wonderful)

    --------------------

    Problem:  My other Windows 7 (Vista upgrade) will not let me create the "recovery discs.

    When you do: start / run / recovery

    It allow me to create "backup and restore disks. (This is not the recovery disks that I need).

    ===========================

    Question: How do I reformat my another computer on Windows 7 (Vista upgrade)?

    Note: Two computers are different: the first is a HP, the other is a gateway.

    ("Partitions" of hard drives may be different.)

    I don't know: if I can use the recovery made the first computer disc to reformat my second hard drive?  If this isn't the case, I'll be in trouble, because I don't know how to reformat my second computer.

    You need to use the means to reinstall that you can upgrade Windows Vista Setup to format the drive.

    The other system recovery media is likely to not work, but you can always try, but have appropriate reinstall media just in case.

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

    How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

  • X 220 clean install. Now, no OSD and the battery don't charge threshold

    Hello world

    I installed an mSATA SSD last night with the 2.5 hdd 320 "stock on my X220i (4286-2AU). I did a clean install of Windows 7 on mSATA, that will be my OS drive.

    I installed most of the drivers for the devices, but note that even if most of the function keys (FN +...) (the WIFI FN + 5 even does not), is no longer there we're working on a display on the screen. I play with this before clean install so I know that with the factory settings, OSD worked very well. I check the display properties in Windows and on screen display is checked.

    In addition, in the power manager, I have more the possibility to set minimum and maximum battery charge start and stop the thresholds.

    For the power management driver I installed only
    Power Manager for Windows 7 (32 bit, 64 bit), Vista (32-bit, 64-bit) - ThinkPad

    and to the left of two other pilots:

    • Driver ThinkPad Power Management for Windows 7 (32 bit, 64 bit), Vista (32 bit, 64 bit), XP (32-bit, 64-bit) - ThinkPad
    • Module ThinkPad Power Manager Patch for Windows 7 (32 bit, 64 bit), Vista (32 bit, 64 bit), XP - ThinkPad

    I've also already installed I think I should have to take care of OSD but I guess I was wrong:
    Integration of features Hotkey for Windows 7 (32 bit, 64 bit), Vista (32 bit, 64 bit), XP (32-bit, 64-bit) and 2000 - ThinkPad

    but decided to jump:
    ThinkVantage Access Connections for Windows 7 (32 bit, 64 bit) - laptops

    Would appreciate any help on this matter. He's not a killer, but thresholds OSD and battery were something I was looking forward from that installed clean.

    Thank you!!!

    Hi alanbrenton;

    Did you put it in there.

    This must go with shortcut keyboard and Power Manager.

  • Report of panic stay after a clean install (MacBookPro3, 1 mid-2007)

    Hello

    My mac is often restart with a kernel panic. Often when I use safari with several tab reading or video.

    Before clean install I try 'associated web' application unistall like Adobe flash player, add the block, but the problem remains still.

    I try to fix it by clean install, but the question still remains with the "clean" os (in my old data, configuration, preferences, etc.).

    So I think is a physical problem, because it is an old mac, but I need to confirm.

    I'll try to downgrade to OS X Yosemite or more to see what Issos are still but I wait download it again for now.

    I copy my last panic report on pastebin following link:

  • A clean install of Windows 7 - do not accept keys of the laptop

    I had an older laptop and the hard drive had a mechanical failure.

    I bought and installed a new hard drive and clean installed Windows 7 as downloaded from the Microsoft Web site. The computer is old enough that the manufacturer offers more support for recovery. I installed Windows and I used the key from the sticker on the laptop, and it seemed to accept it.

    However after that I'm getting now pop up windows saying the key is not valid, and I (now) 19 days left to resolve the situation.

    I can't afford to buy a new Windows key - what am I supposed to do?

    The only available ISO images * for the general public * to Windows 7 directly from Microsoft would need to enter your product key to make sure that you download the correct edition.

    I would try to change your product key via the given method, just to be sure and have someone else read the product key for you when you enter.

  • Formatting the HARD drive before doing a clean install.

    I will do a clean install with my windows Visa but first told me to format my hard drive. Is that when you go to computer management > disk management, but then I have no idea what to do? It says Disk 0, and then Compaq and recovery. Laughing out loud.

    I do not know you said that, but it is wrong or you
    misunderstood him. When you perform a new installation, you start from the
    Windows DVD, then follow the prompts. It starts by formatting the drive
    for you, then there is no need to do first.

    and since my system did not come with the CD of Vista from the window I have to do by the Compaq recovery Partition.

    And if you do that, it also begins by formatting the drive for
    you.

    And by the way, your system is almost certainly with instructions on
    How to burn this on a DVD recovery partition and you should
    certainly doing this before you start. You don't want to wipe that
    partition without burning to a DVD first.

    I don't know exactly what I should do when it said to format my hard drive. It won't replace anything, which means getting rid of the previous things?

    Yes, it deletes everything on the disc. So make sure that, before
    from, save you on external support all important files for you.

    Because I don't want to do a clean install, then update all and then see my computer is still messed up.

    That's highly unlikely. But (and this is a big but) If you had "dirtied".
    to the top"by something you did, there is a good chance that you will make the
    same thing again and get 'messed up' all over again. It is one of
    the main reasons according to formatting and reinstalling Windows is
    usually a bad approach to solving a problem; It is best to find
    This is what the problem is, and what it, so that you don't make the
    same thing in the future.

    One last point: after the new installation, you will need to
    Restore the backup that you made your files and reinstall all your
    applications of their original medium.

  • Can I clean the hard drive before installing Windows Dell & as I've heard doesent clean properly. And how to clean the drive of DART?

    Can I clean hard drive before installing Dell Windows 7 / as I have heard it is not clean everything properly. So how to clean the hard drive?

    Or can I restore my office before you install Windows 7 in the first place when it's new?

    Kind regards

    Bert Pooler

    Yes, you can restore the State as it was when new...

    Your computer is equipped with a recovery instead of disk partition...

    This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

    For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

    You may need to try several times to get everything above to work. If after several attempts, you have no chance, or the machine indicates that there is no recovery partition, your only option is to contact the computer manufacturer and ask for the model recovery discs...

    After the reset, you should get all the updates from Windows Update EXCEPT for hardware devices. Then, you install a good antivirus. ONLY AFTER you have done this, if you replace the stuff of backups or install anything else.

  • Clean install of windows 7, now I have no permission to copy on external hard drive.

    I have a HP media center 2005 office which originally had XP on it. I bought an upgrade Windows 7 years and installed and never had a problem. Two weeks ago I reformatted my computer to get rid of a redirect virus, and everything seems to work perfectly except for one thing: my C: drive and both of my external hard drives, K:, and M: require administrator privileges to copy/paste/modify anything.
    When I did a clean install it automatically gives me an admin account.

    My question is, what can I do to change the permissions and security settings, while I have a total control over EVERYTHING. I recently tried video file on my external drive and he told me that I needed permissions and click ok to try. But he did nothing.

    I want access to all of my files. Drive C and the two external. I noticed that the security options when I consult my files or directories where showing these accounts:

    SYSTEM
    Josh (Josh-PC\Josh)
    Administrators (Josh-PC\Administrators)
    Everyone

    and I was getting a SID that is long enough

    There are a lot of files, but one in particular that made me on this hunting witch was changing my user profile file in Firefox. I did a clean install and wanted to change the shortcut menu in firefox, but also a few other settings.
    This just happened to reside in C:/documents and settings /

    The recipe is the same as before: take ownership of the problem folder. It make recursive so that you don't need to treat each case separately.
  • Question seeks to clean install 10 Windows on the drive of the merger. El Capitan.

    Problem: try a clean install of Windows 10 via the Boot Camp Assistant on an iMac 27 inches (Late2013) with 10.11.4 installs hours (more than 8 hours) and then failed to install Boot Camp updates. Essentially installation take much long than normal and cannot install updates of the Apple software or create normally start Windows Boot Camp 10.

    Background: After problems of slowing down after upgrading to 10.11.4 (with improved Bootcamp Windows 10) who had previously worked fine for 10 months, to the point of a start of OS X time, I decided to do a clean install of my iMac with Fusion 3 to disk.

    As I was unable to remove the partition from Boot Camp through BCA because of his holding always at the same load, I used Internet recovery and reset the Fusion drive. This then required me to repair the partition of Fusion by car through THE "fix" option which seems to work very well. And reinstalled OS X 10.11.4 which works fine now (delays etc..)

    Try using BCA to create a new partition Boot Camp and a clean Windows 10 install after downloading an image of disk W10 directly from Microsoft (Win10_1511_1_English_x64), BCA by downloading software updates and by selecting the desired partition, it began to restart and initialize the installation. However the whole process has been very slow, each step takes much longer than usual, to progress. Leave for hours rest a blank screen or with a circle of rotation.

    I tried with another stick USB 3 and also a USB 2 stick, but none has made a difference.

    In the last attempt, I left running overnight and after 8-9 hours, he finally reaches the top of desktop Windows 10 and the update of Apple Bootcamp starts to load updates. However, he just hung and even after 2 hours, nothing was. Reboot and try once again has been the same.

    After that I tried to create a Windows Installer via BCA 8.0 however it gives just a TPG error when you try to select the drive (due to el Capitan I guess?)

    After four days of efforts, I'm a loser on how to get the Windows 10 on the Boot Camp partition. I can't even install W8 and upgrade due to the error of TPG.

    Any help or suggestions how to proceed with the diagnostic / resolution of the problem would be appreciated.

    Details:

    System: iMac (27 inch, end of 2013), 3.4 GHz Intel Core i5, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 M 4096 MB, OS X 10.11.4

    • Nothing other than the keyboard and mouse attached via the USB ports, as well as the key USB of BCA. No other attached devices.
    • Reset memory NVRAM, SMC and ran more than once disk utility. No problem not reported.  Ran NVRAM reset before each attempt.
    • At ran EtreCheck report which seemed OK.
    • Verification of diagnosis ran who is childless.

    A detail I noticed after the merger by car there are now two Macintosh HD images when you use boot option. One previously. Are named "Macintosh HD" and "Macintosh HD2". I remember being Yosemite simultaneously in three, but which has been fixed in an update.

    In addition, it seems that no recovery partition. Cmd + R lance Internet recovery.

    Summary:

    Q1: Should it take 4 + hours to install Windows 10 via BCA?

    Q2: Al must ultimately be so slow when initially W10 desktop?

    Q3; What I do once I arrive at the office of W10 but it automatically updates the graphics driver as BC update is simply suspended for centuries and get a working driver to restart at least W10?

    Q4: is there a problem with the disk HARD the Drive of Fusion that is causing all this delay and slow install / boot? ON the clean install OS X 10.11.4 it is back to be fast as usual and all tests show things are OK but W10 goes on the part of the HARD drive. No way to verify this beyond diagnosis or Etrecheck?

    Q5: Y at - it no problem with the GPT / MBR that may be causing the delay etc. ?

    Q6: How can I use my existing WindowsImageBackup backup from the previous W10 with the BCA install usb drive or how to create a USB stick otherwise recovery disk with my other single Mac have W7?

    Q7: How can I install W8 as I once did on Yosemite, via el Capitan without a mistake to TPG on selection of disc?

    Details:

    Day 5. Attempt at 6.

    Partition Boot Camp delete and try again install via BCA. First question, is that when the startup it goes to a blank black screen. For a time nothing left. Reset then using alt to select windows training results in almost instantaneous startup of the BCA message created and the beginning of the installation.

    4 1/2 hours from start of Windows 10 initial signature window.

    Then the second question. One to reach the Boot Camp update Office tries to start and install the drivers. Allows you to "list files...". "stage then sits at the bar about 5% green for 1 to 2 hours and does nothing. All actions in the Office of the W10 takes ages.

    In the meantime, auto update of the W10 appears a message saying that the updated graphics drivers as one of the few messages or actions during this period. Looks like Nvidia install with the entire package of experience (unwanted) etc. and very probably not the correct gpu driver.

    Finally deciding to cancel the installation of BC by killing the Setup.exe process. Then copy Boot camp install files on the desktop. Lasts 30 minutes to copy. Run again and this time, although taking 15-20 minutes to download and install later with the success message.

    Check the graphic driver it shows a yellow exclamation mark, so the following Microsoft instructions I use the uninstall option via the device and then Manager (slowly) come on board to load and download the latest Nvidia driver on their site for the GTX 780 M for 64-bit W10 etc. The same thing that I had used previously. Slow with running the Nvidia Setup program again, but eventually it works only to say that he could not install as unrecognized graphics device...

    He ends up with Microsoft PnP driver so it's at least sufficient start and run it again BC of the figure updates as all other drivers have been installed. To restart, but I get an error of K-Mode that is most likely related to this driver graphic and not possible to start in the new W10 Boot Camp partition after 7 hours.

    I have a picture of W10 backup recovery (WindowsImageBackup) I've had in a few weeks, but it will not install bet for the installed W10. I try with the ACO created the USB windows but can't seem to get a way to get into recovery mode and to get the menu to install it. I don't have a way to create a USB W10 recovery key now because my other Mac has just installed W7.

    Finally I tried to count a reset of the Recovery boot up option but it seems that it will take longer to start.

    I also went to the recovery and selected Boot Mode safe, but it opens on an empty black window and he's here doing nothing.

    Looks like I'll have to restart on via BCA and reinstall and try and solve the problem of graphics in order to install driver updates from BC and restart to W10 and hope that with the drivers, it returns to the operation and the normal starting time. Then update the gpu driver.

    I used and installed Boot Camp several times with over the years including previously an upgrade of W8.1 > W10 I used for over 6 months without problem. I've never known these installation very long or ice once in Windows even for the initial start upward.

    For any help or suggestion would be appreciated, and this seemingly simple process has now expanded to five days.

  • Reformat and clean install of XP

    My Cd drive on my laptop does not work and I want to reformat my hard drive and do a clean install of XP.  Can anyone help?

    If it is not too expensive, you can replace the CD drive (assuming that the disk is in fact bad... so once again, it can only be a connection problem).

    What is the brand, model and model number of your laptop? It is possible that the hard disk contains a hidden restore partition. If so, you won't even work CD player.

    Finally, why do you feel you must perform a clean installation? Installs own is rarely necessary!

  • XP Home Edition, SP3. Clean install. Printer driver has not been installed. Operation could not be performed.

    I searched this problem and what I read it is that it is either due to a failed attempt to install a driver or a driver designed for an earlier version of Windows.

    I've never had this problem before, but here are the details.
    Clean install of XP Sp3 with all updates installed prior to the installation of the driver.
    Brother MFC-490CW downloaded latest driver on the brother support site.
    Printer is set up on the WiFi network on IP 10.0.1.2
    I created a new Standard TCP/IP Port with the IP 10.0.1.2
    I have installed 2 other printers on this network in order to use the printer very well. (Vista and Windows 7)
    I get to the very last step on installing printer wizard and click on "Finish".
    The pilot progress bar window install window opens for a fraction of a second and closes.
    I get the error 'printer driver is not installed. Operation could not be completed.
    I tried everything... Any help would be appreciated.
