When I try to boot my laptop with USB stick bootable, because I don't have cd player in my laptop. The problem is when I run the startup it stuck at 'starting windows' screen I can't go any further, so I need force shutdown my laptop. I am unable to install windows 7 on my laptop. What can I do, please help me.

Thank you.

Hi Praveen,

Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

We need more information about the issue so that we can help you better.

1. is Windows 10 still installed on your computer or you have wiped the hard drive?
2. don't you upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10?

Thank you for details on the issue.

If Windows 10 is installed, you can downgrade to Windows 7 within 30 days of the upgrade. If it crosses the 30 day limit, the option in the settings that allows you to return to your previous version of Windows will not be available.

Please see this link:
Return to Windows 7 or Windows 8.1
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-10/going-back-to-Windows-7-or-Windows-81

However, if you want to install Windows 7 from an external installation media, you can re-create the rack installation of Windows 7 from this link:
https://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/Windows7

It is possible that the installation media does not develop properly. Please also make sure that you disconnect all the devices connected to the computer before installing Windows 7.

Note: You may lose programs installed after upgrading Windows 10. I strongly recommend to back up your personal files and data on an external hard drive.

I hope this information helps.

Simply answer the required information and let us know if you need more help.

Thank you

    Help, please. I bought a new internal hard drive. But I have no recovery disks.

    Thank you

    Hello

    There are two options available.

    1. you can order a set of replacement recovery disks using the link below - it will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers, and almost all of the original software (the exception being often tests of MS Office).  They will also recreate all of the original scores, including the recovery Partition.

    Order HP recovery disks.

    2 another option, if you came to laptop with Windows 7, you might consider is to create your own installation disc.

    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 good Disk Image ( must be the same version - i.e. Home Premium.) Professional etc. - initially supplied with your laptop ) from the link below and use an app like 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 Image is Digital River.

    Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

    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.

  • Laptop stuck on "Starting Windows" screen

    So, this afternoon, I tried to start my laptop HPG42-373, and it got stuck on "Starting Windows" screen. I ran tests of memory at startup and primary HD, in which startup failed, and primary HD came out with this: "hard disk 1 (303) Quick '. What can I do to solve this problem, if anything, or just to save what I can from my old files?

    Hello

    303 error code is a disk failure short self-test and would indicate that hard is defective and must be replaced.  This is also consistent with the question of commissioning.

    If your laptop is still under warranty, contact HP and arrange for the disk replaced - you can check the status of your warranty here.

    If you live in the United States, contact HP here.

    If you are in another part of the world, begin here.

    If you are out of warranty and would like a guide to replacing the hard drive yourself, let me know.

    ************************************

    Concerning access to the data on this HARD drive, here are some options you can try.

    1. one possible way to try to recover your files from a disk non-boot is to follow the process described in the link below.  The CD of the Ubuntu operating system you create can launched from the CD alone (IE it doesn't have to be installed on the hard drive) and I've often found to successfully extract data even a hard failure.  When you created the CD, follow the instructions and see if you can save your existing files. 

    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/use-Ubuntu-Live-CD-to-backup-files-from-your-dead-Windo...

    2 another 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.

  • Try to load windows on the new drive, stuck at 'starting windows' screen

    So I'm actually down ranking of windows 8 pro to windows 7 pro two 64. I was finally able to get the comp not recongize just load the USB. My problem is that when it does not start, I'm stuck at 'Starting windows' screen I was wondering, perhaps, that I need to format a patition first? It's a new Lenovo warranty hard drive. (Kind of funny how to send CD's for a laptop that doesn't have a cd player only) I looked in the formatting of a usb key, have had some difficulty in finding a reliable way... Thank you

    Hi davefromsb,

    Windows 8 computers have a bios "UEFI" and so will come with "Secure Boot" as well as "UEFI" only start enabled. Disable secure boot if you do not have and choose start to the "legacy" methods The problem is most likely that the image of Windows 7 which has been engraved on the USB key was burned using an instead of a TPG one MBR partition scheme. I hope this helps.

  • Stuck at "Starting Windows" screen

    I have a Toshiba laptop, Windows 7 Ultimate. I don't have a recovery disk.

    Whenever I start windows, Windows Error Recovery (http://www.techjaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/win7-error-recovery.png)

    comes with two choices;

    1. run repair system (recommended)
    2 start Windows normally
    Whenever I try to pick 2, it gets stuck on the Windows splash screen
    (http://www.windows7password.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/safemodewindows71_thumb.jpg)
    So I chose 1. He lead me here

    I first tried to command prompt, then I typed "chkdsk c: /f/r". It took 3 days already. The last time I saw him, it was already (sorry I don't remember)
    «67 000 + 300 000 files (stage 4 of 5)»
    I left for a while, then when I came back, he was already set to zero. I don't think its been already because it is too long...
    After the reboot, it again displays the Windows Error Recovery screen.
    Then I tried the Windows Memory Diagnostic. Everything went well. The status is always "no problems have been detected yet" until it has finished.
    It always shows the recovery screen.
    I tried the system restore. I chose the last restore point. When I click next it freezes and its stuck in there for a long time.
    Then, I tried System Image recovery, but I don't have any image system backed up.
    Finally, I tried startup repair, it took too long so I cancelled it. I thought it might be like the chkdsk which took too much time, but does not solve the problem.
    I tried the Advanced Startup Options (http://ww2.justanswer.com/uploads/operab/2010-05-17_070306_Advanced_Boot_Options.jpg), then I tried the 3 Security Modes. It did not work. It was just stuck to this - > http://www.administrator.de/images/content/f1a9ac1584b0c371c0381bfaadbbf49f.jpg
    I tried to enable boot logging, enable video low resolution (640 x 480), last (Advanced) well-known Configuratio, Directory Mode, disable automatic restart on system failure and disable Signature enforcement and everything lead to screen "starting Windows"... Help, please

    Hi.As you can see you maybe corrupted/not identified/no valid/not found important windows files or modules. You need a Windows 7 Ultimate CD or recovery disk to fix this... You do not have any of these so I don't know if there is a hope for you. I recommend that you run the Startup Repair tool and leave it until the end. Startup Repair is ___NOT of BEING CONFUSED___ with chkdsk. Startup Repair will fix ALL your problems start (for example your stuck at windows startup). Try it and get back with the results.

  • HP PRO 3405 series MT * blue screen during installation *.

    Hello

    I tried to install Windows XP on this PC, but I get the blue screen during the installation. Instead, with windows 8 I can install.

    I need drive for controller? (F6 at startup)

    Hello:

    See if these drivers work.

    You will need a USB floppy drive to install on the line of F6. A USB flash drive does not work.

    http://h20000.www2.HP.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en & cc = us & prodTypeId = 12454 & prodSeriesId = 4169006 & prodNameId = 4169007 & swEnvOID = 1093 & swLang = 13 & mode = 2 & taskId = 135 & swItem = vc-74977-1

    Now you have to extract the real drivers, you must copy and paste to your floppy drive.

    Download the free 7-zip file and use it to extract the files in the exe file you downloaded above.

    http://7-zip.org/download.html

    After having extracted the file, you will find the drivers in the folder of the driver.

    Open this folder and copy and paste the drivers inside this folder on your floppy drive.

    If this does not work, go into the BIOS and change sata from AHCI to IDE emulation and install windows like that.

    Then try to manually install the driver sata ahci by a manual update of the drive controller in Device Manager.

    If you install, you restart and back emulation sata AHCI in the BIOS, so the hard drive works better it will be in IDE mode.

  • Blue screen during installation of Windows XP on HP touchsmart 7320

    I have a HP touchsmart 7320 with Windows 7 Professional 64-bit pre-installed.

    I have to install Windows XP (32 bit) next to Windows 7, so that I can run a costly professional application which meets the incompatibility issues with Windows 7.

    Compatibility mode makes no difference. Virtual PC and XP mode are broken during the installation of the application. So its a way for me to have a dual-boot with Windows 7 ande Windows XP machine.

    When I am installing Windows XP (all versions-family, professional, 32 or 64-bit with original CD always) gives a blue screen with strange characters and the following STOP message:

    | STOP 0X0000007E
    (0xc0000005, 0xf748e0bf, 0xf78da208, 0xf78d9f08)

    PCI.sys - address f748e0bf base at f7487000 datestamp 36d855c

    I did a new Windows XP installation CD using nLite, "slipstreaming" of Service Pack 2 and AHCI SATA drivers I found here and they are proposed by this guide.

    That seems to work for awhile, because the installation process went further. It passes the point where she was already giving the blue screen, but it gives blue screen in a later stage of the installation process and one other STOP message which is now:

    Hello:

    I have another solution for you.

    First, go to your Windows 7 installation and in Device Manager, click on IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers section.

    Please confirm that you have the Intel (r) Desktop/Workstation/Server Express Chipset SATA AHCI Controller.

    If it's not the ACHI SATA controller you have, thanks for posting what you have.

    Now, here is another method to install XP.

    Go into your BIOS. Go to the menu of storage options. Change your SATA of ACHI to IDE emulation mode. Save the configuration at this time by pressing the F10 key and save your settings again when you leave.

    Now XP must install.

    After XP is installed, please share back and I'll give you the instructions step by step to load the post SATA ACHI driver XP installation, so you can change your return to ACHI BIOS setting, so that you can dual boot your machine.

    Currently, only XP will start with the value IDE BIOS. With the ACHI BIOS value, only W7 will start. That's why we need to load the drivers for XP achi sata once you have it installed.

    I think that we can find all the XP drivers, you need to as well.

    Windows XP home SP3 update installation hangs at logo screen of widows at the end of the installation process. I then have to restart the computer Windows XP load how fortunately but it then immediately starts trying to configure documentviewer and is unabe to find the installation files. At this point IE also will not work reports an error "the requested lookup key was not found in any active context"

    Now, I'm sure that the last problems are caused as a result of the installation of Windows XP SP3 update does not complete. I tried to do a manual update via Windows update, but after 105 update files that still has not solved the problems. I tried a system restore, but this also was not a success.  Can someone please help with advice as to how I might remedy the situation?

    OK, after more research I found that documentviewer.msi was the issue that prevents installation ended. The file is part of HP Imaging software, so I uninstalled the HP software & the upgrade was able to complete resolution of the problem with IE in the process.

    Also run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Windows-7/Upgrade-Advisor.aspx

    Also:

    If the installation fails again, it may be a hardware incompatibility problem. Go to the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor on the Microsoft website to see if your computer can run Windows 7.

    If you have compatible hardware and your computer still stops responding, disable any unnecessary material. Remove (USB) universal serial bus devices. Remove or disable network cards, sound cards and cards of the series; and then restart the installation.

    I installed the new HARD drive and began to install XP. Implementation of process gets to the point where windows will write the files to the HARD drive and the blue screen appears! What is a SATA driver problem?

    Have tried with a copy of XP, I with the SATA drivers on it but don't know if it's a problem of controller or a specific driver from Toshiba.

    Any help would be appreciated... TIA

    Hey,.

    As you can read in 100 other discussions here in the forum, the problem is the SATA driver you need.
    As far as I know Satellite L450D a AMD chipset, so you can find the SATA driver in the display driver package that you can download from the official website of Toshiba.

    In addition, I would recommend reading the other discussions here in the forum. You can also read the son of other laptop models, it s always
