    original title: windows 7 gamer edition

    Download of software on these sites can be very risky, because the origin of the files are usually edited and its quite possible that they could have injected malicious code in it.

    Windows 7 Gamer edition is not a developed Microsoft or affiliated with the product, what appears to be a customized image of Windows 7 that authors customized to remove or add Windows components, which can also be very problematic.

    You use something that no one can help you consider he has probably been reverse engineered and probably injected by a malicious code like spyware (keyloggers, rootkits, worms, viruses). I suggest you stick to Windows 7 Ultimate, this is the most complete edition of Windows 7, anyone can have.

    When I got the error, I cancelled and restarted the machine. I pressed the 'option' button when starting upwards and he grew the boot partitions. You should see a 'EFI Boot' partition. Choose that and you restart the installation process, but this time it works.

  • Error: "Windows could not complete the format" when you try to write to blank DVDs

    I get this error when you try to copy files to a blank DVD.  I am trying to drag and drop files into the dvd player and after a small roar, the dvd ram drive stops and the error message.  Then the drive no longer recognizes blank dvd inside.  I am running Vista 32 bit and my dvd ram is a matshita dvd - ram uj880as ata.  I tried to switch to the microsoft 'FixIt' site, but the problem is not resolved.  I think that the report mentioned that the reader could recognize not writable or something to that extent.  The player can play DVDs fine, however.  Is there a solution to this problem by replacing the dvd ram drive?

    Of workaround I posted in another thread, but it should work in your case too.
    Try this:

    Press F8 immediately after that the laptop has been turned on.
    Then choose the first option called fix my computer.
    Then a new window should open and there you can choose the option called Toshiba recovery.

    Please note then this procedure would start the Toshiba HDD recovery and the BONE to relocate again. This would be to format the whole HARD drive and set the OS to the factory settings.
