Reinstall Windows 7 Pro on new 2 TB HDD freezes on Windows startup screen

My 160 GB hard drive crashed and I am trying to install Windows 7 Pro from the installation disc that came with my computer on my new hard drive 2 TB.  I read the posts that took even freeze on Windows startup screen and I disconnected all devices and devices except the mouse and keyboard.  I don't have 2 GB of memory simms, 8 GB installed, but has released simm all but one.  I tried to reinstall Windows 7 Professional several times and whenever it crosses the screen of facilities, then when the computer restarts it freezes at the Windows startup screen.  Help!

Evelyn,

(1) I have an idea which may simply not work. Install the software of Western Digital's Data LifeGuard Diagnostics.

(2) then select / click on the Seagate 2 TB of disk.

(3) then click on the little icon above the list of player who scored "click to run tests.

(4) in the popup windows choose the option "write zeros". Click 'Start' and select the fastest two write options who writes zero for beginners / before the command and at the end / last sectors on the disk. It will take about 2 minutes or less. Once the zero finished writing your drive will be in a State of 'Raw' (just as if you removed from the box for the first time).

(5) open "Disk management", you should see a windows asking you to 'Initialize' the reader. Choose the MBR (Master Boot Record "option.

Now try to install Windows.

  • Laptop freezes on Windows startup screen (start)

    Freezes my laptop Envy15-3000 starting up.  It makes only to the Windows startup screen and then icons Microsoft stop moving.  This has happened since Tuesday (8/12).  I ran checks and the memory and hard drive (quick and full) test came back positive - i.e. without problems.  I finally decided to reformat yesterday (8/14).  He gets throughout the process of reformating until he wants to start the system for the "first time" (I guess this will be the last time it restarts in the recovery process) and always freezes on Windows startup screen.  If I try to hard cock off and try any other start up option I can think (Safe Mode, etc.), it says failed to retrieve and asks me to try again, get the details or Save Log.  When I try again, it goes back to freezing.  Therefore, I am now in an endless loop of another attempt of the retrieve to access the windows screen start freezing.

    All I want to do is wipe the hard drive and reload everything.  I'm not interested to recover the old data I backed everything up.  I have had no error messages on my sleeve it, memory, tests etc, so I'm at a loss on how to proceed.  Help, please!  Thank you.

    Hello

    Assuming that it's just a problem with the recovery media, here's another solution, you can try.

    Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

    An example of a COA label can be seen here.

    You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the Disk Image correct ( this must be the same version that originally came with your laptop - it is listed as Windows 7 Home Premium ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn ( Note: you can deselect additional software offerings when you install ImgBurn) to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.  The source of the Windows Image is Digital River.

    Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit SP1.

    Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

    This problem may occur because of damaged or missing Windows startup files.

    As repair and restore failed, I suggest you run bootrec commands and check if that helps.

  • PC keeps restarting after the Windows startup screen

    I recently bought a refurbished HP compaq 6005 microtour office format. The computer came with a blank hard drive with no OS loaded on this subject. Before this purchase, I owned a laptop with a Samsung EVO 850 250 GB SSD inside which has Windows 7 installed and worked fine until the motherboard went bad on it. I removed the SSD that laptop and installed in the new office refurbished. The computer starts up and reaches the HP invent display shows options key function and says "press any key to Option ROM Messages." and then after a few seconds goes to "starting Windows" screen and after a few seconds it goes back to the same HP invent screen.

    I tried the things:

    The hard drive is detected by a name in BIOS

    Made sure boot order has been on hard drive, first

    Tried to start Windows in Mode safe mode, last known good configuration and disable automatic restart in the event of system failure

    When I disabled automatic restart in the event of system failure I got a blue screen that says, "a problem has been detected and windows was forced to need down to avoid any damage to your computer...". ""Search for viruses on your computer. " Remove any newly installed hard drives or hard drive controllers. Check your hard drive to ensure that it is properly configured and completed. ... "CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption, and then restart your computer.

    Hello David,.

    According to your description, I realize you are trying to install a Portable SSD hard drive in a desktop computer that has Windows 7 installed on it.

    First of all I would say you do not to do since both hard drives have different specifications, and this can adversely affect your computer. I suggest you to contact the manufacturer of your computer before this change of material.

    On Windows, it is not recommended to mix computers with different operating system installed on a hard drive specifications. I would say to reinstall the full operating system such that two computers use different Hardware.

    Hope this information helps. If you need more assistance or information on this question, reply to this post. I'll be happy to help you.

    Thanks and greetings

    > Where can I get some old drivers for the ATI Mobility Radeon HD2600, I can install without starting windows?

    Please don t get me wrong, but I think you're on the wrong track.
    (Graphics card, LAN, etc.) device drivers must be installed in the currently running system (i.e: Windows OS, etc.)

    I m sure; pilot isn t the problem if nothing is visible on the screen.

    First of all, I would recommend you to connect the laptop to an external monitor/screen just to see if something would be visible on the screen 2.

    But just a question: have you tried to start Notepad using a boot disk (windows installation disc, the disc recovery Toshiba or similar?).
    Maybe the Windows system is confusing upward and therefore, you are not able to start the system? In my opinion, you should test this option.

  • restore windows startup screen 8

    somehow, after login, my office shows on the computer rather than on the start screen in windows 8. I want to restore the computer to the original home screen rather than the office. Thank you.

    wingsangel, you are using a 3rd party program that gives the optiont to jump to the start page of metor. I had one installed once that would, he would just ignore the metro page and take right on the desktop.

    I would say that if you have a 3rd party program making it appear more like XP, then look for the option to uncheck this GOLD

    a little more radically, go to add/REMOVE and uninstall this program which transforms Windows 8 to look like XP, and then restart. The next time that your screen should appear on the start page of subway again.  .... I think so!  MOM

    I had this problem once briefly, when I click on SKIP THE SCREEN START on one of these trasforming programs.  Hope this is a beginning.
