Reinstall Windows 7 Ultimate 64 b with new 1 TB HARD drive

My old HDD crashed, got a new Toshiba 1 TB HARD drive. I had to change the BIOS disk HARD RAID on AHCI setting because the new drive has Advanced Format, in order to install Windows 7.

My question is should I have new BIOS RAID in order to have fully operational features of Windows 7?

I'll install it INTEL Rapid Storage Technology (RAID) driver 13.1.0.1058 version or download necessary drivers through Windows Update?

It is a DELL PRECISION M6500 workstation with an INTEL Core i7 processor...

The drivers required; - which may depend on the make and model PC

A raid configuration has nothing to do with the installation and the functioning of basic win7

  • Updated the motherboard, processor and RAM and upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, after upgrade the external hard drive encrypted with bitlocker will not enter the password.

    Original title: bitllocker Windows 7 issue

    Hello

    I recently updated my motherboard, processor and RAM, but I kept my original 500 GB hard drive, and equipped with a hard drive 2 TB extra, after the upgrade, I downloaded windows 7 ultimate 64-bit. After the upgrade I plugged my external hard drive (which has all my stuff important on it, that is to say the photo, video etc.) to realize that I had he encrypted with bitlocker on my old sysem. It allows Me to enter my password, it looks for a USB flash drive key, I did not. My question is:

    Can I replace my old system with the old motherboard, hard drive and the original RAM to remove the external hard drive for bitlocker?

    I still have the file windows.old on my hard drive, I have to restore it and remove the most recent version of windows 7 off the drive. I do this before I rebuild my old PC? I'm stuck here and would not lose all my photos (the wife would kill me!) I would appreciate your help.

    Hello

    Reassembly of the old computer won't help. You will always need the key to open the Bitlocker.

  • After you have reinstalled Windows 7 Ultimate error isn't real OS?

    I had to completely erase my laptop HD and reinstall WIndows 7 Ultimate from my OEM copy. But he said that it is not authentic. What is even more strange is that he made two months after I installed it, which is zero logic. And it is certainly an authentic copy, I still have the receipt from the store that I bought it to prove! So someone please tell me how we can solve this problem.

    exactly told the rep of activation you?

    I begin to suspect that you had previously installed on another computer. Note that an OEM license is valid only on the first computer, it has been installed on and cannot be transferred to another computer.
    An OEM license can be installed on the same card mother as many times as you want but are not valid on another computer.

  • Install Windows 7 on a new 3 TB hard drive

    I'm trying to install Windows 7 on a new 3 TB hard drive.  During the installation, I get a screen that says no hard drives have been found.  Windows installs the boot files on the X startup disk but nothing else.  The motherboard is an Intel DZ68BC and the Bios is set to boot from the UEFI.  All of the suggestions.

    Hello Keith,

    Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

    Thank you for details on the issue.

    This problem can occur if the storage controller and chipset drivers are not updated or due to incorrect BIOS settings.

  • I have 2 failure windows 7 installs with 35 GB of hard drive space, but I find no windows.old file?

    I have 2 failure windows 7 installs with 35 GB of hard drive space. but I find no windows.old file?

    The first installation failed because I had a copy of counterfeit Windows 7.

    I bought another copy and installed. Then, I got a horrible virus/worm that disabled all .exe files and the fix was just beyond me!

    I installed again but did not know that the previous facility where still there.

    I tried to clean the disc, but I don't me "from previous versions of windows" to clean.

    I find no windows.old file. (Enabled hidden files)

    Only I have a disc ssd 60gig and want the missing 35gig kindly returned to use.

    Can someone help?

    Check the system restore to see how much disk space it uses:

    Click Start

    Right click on computer

    Click on properties

    Click on advanced system settings

    Click on the System Protection

    Click on configure

  • OEM version of windows 7 can be installed on a new purched from hard drive on the market and not OEM (Dell)

  • I want to clone my original equipment existing 500 GB HARD drive to a new 1 TB HARD drive replacement. How?

    G ' Day,.

    I'm getting too big for my old 500 GB HARD drive, so I bought a new 1 TB HARD drive.

    Now I have all of the rescue disks that I made when I first got my laptop Compaq Presario CQ57-105TU . I could use them & fresh install all software & original OS, but then I have to start from scratch and re-install all the software I have installed, in addition to redo all adjustments & changes I made to the Windows 7 operating system since the first day - a year ago.

    Not really how I want to spend the next week or two around.

    I would like to clone the orig 500 GB HDD & all of its content to a new 1 TB of HARD drive.

    Sounds like where I want to go, but for 1 small question. I heard that if I just I'll have about 500 GB of space available new but I was also told that I will not be able to create new partitions of disk on the new HARD drive because of any existing partitions on the original HARD disk are created.

    1. is this true?

    2. in the case, where can I find a failsafe procedure to accomplish the clone, & then create 2 new partitions to cover the free space on the new drive.

    3. If so, is there a work around? If there is what is the procedure (plse give me cramps of brain with the jargon of techno... tnx)

    Some additional information that might be important.

    At the present time, my HARD drive has this configuration:

    Now that (Q) Local drive is diferent.  It shows 0 bytes available & 0 bytes used, & I don't have access to it.

    Computer of my wife... another laptop CQ62 model... also has the same drive,

    but hers is labeled as Microsoft Office 2010 Starter... as 0 bytes available & used - also no access, & as below, not showing is not in Dmgt.

    This drive does not appear in my Configuration of MANAGEMENT OF RECORDS : http://i.imgur.com/r4LPrDa.jpg

    Him early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese

    OK...'s done it!

    I used my CLONING HDD DOCKING STATION friends exactly like this, but he bought from a different seller 2 years ago.

    All I did was take my 500 GB drive original & placed in A slot (the front slot - Master) & I placed the new Toshiba 1 TB disk in slot B (the second slot behind Slot A... Middle - Slave). I turned the power on the box. I waited until readers spun & were ready, & I don't have a press the red button on the box...

    25% light started to blink & cloning began...

    About 40 minutes later 50% light began to Flash & the 25% brightness has remained stable.

    This means that 25%of the process has been done, & he went to 50%. .

    This sequence was continued until finally all the lights were on fixed (25% to 100%) which means that the clone was complete.

    I think it took about 2 hours and 15 minutes to clone completely.

    I closed the box power off. Then, I removed the two discs.

    I installed the new drive in the laptop carefully, & reinserted the battery, & I plugged power/charger/adapter sector of the laptop.

    Then, I ran into my fingers & press work / laptop computer shutdown.

    A few seconds my laptop has been as always to initialize.  I just had to check to make sure that I have installed the new drive... & Yes the one on the desk was the original, no doubt which means that my laptop startup disk was indeed the new drive I cloned just to.

    My laptop is started without fault!  without a hitch. Just as he always had.

    I used my computer management Administrative tool - disk management & made a simple volume for the 450 + GB of free space, affecting the next letter available player - in my car (F) case & I named it so.

    Everything worked perfectly, I can read & write on the new partition/volume. As I mentioned previously, I probably won't be able to start from scratch, but my drive (C), but it's fine for me.

    So, what have I learned?

    Well, first of all, my Compaq Presario CQ57-105TU can go to 1 TB of HARD drive without modification.

    Using the cloning method, I did no doubt saved full at least 1 weeks of resettlement work if I selected the new installation method using backup/rescue disks when the computer was first, I created started way back when.

    Outside the 2 + hours time, it took to clone the drive, 15 +/-minutes initially to remove & reinstall the drive, & the time it took to assign the new free space a drive letter (every 5-10 minutes) the procedure was clearly simple cut, I know could have been done differently, but not as simply as the method I chose.

    Pepe, thank you much for the time you spent researching my issues & responding to my message.

    I'm so glad all your fears & roadblocks have been made not, & in the end, it was possible to accomplish the task against our initial concerns - count in a very loose way with the greatest ease.

    Here are some pictures of the Station of Clone (the box) exactly like the one I used:

    Congratulations to all,
