Try to install Windows 7 from the SanDisk USB 3.0 Flash drive...

I spent days trying to find a solution to this, but nothing helped. I am trying to install an image pre-configured on a new Dell Latitude E5530 and Dell Precision T3500 (our two standard workstation deployments). At the prompt 'Where would you install windows?', I chose the disk/partition and get a message "Windows Setup could not create a new partition system.

Before I begin to explain - I made this configuration will leave if it is thousands of times with disks USB 2.0 without problem. (It installs custom and preconfigured win 7 for an enterprise environment.) The images we use are fine - they work with other USB 2.0 readers)

Material:

Dell Latitude E5530 / Dell T3500

128 GB Samsung SSD (Dell OEM) / Western Digital 320 single disc and two disks in RAID 1 (RAID Intel)

Installation drive: SanDisk Extreme 32 GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive

Software:

Windows 7 32-Bit Enterprise Edition

-Pre-configured image and answer file, custom (install.wim)

Here's what I've done previously. None of this worked at all:

  • Clean the disk target (SSD) with diskpart (own > create > active > format (NTFS) > attribute).
  • Clean the installation USB 3.0 drive and install re-copied the file several times.
  • Cloned the installation drive USB 3.0 from a well-known work 2.0 USB drive.
  • Addition of the latest Intel USB 3.0 Boot.wim in the USB 3.0 drivers installation disk.
  • Tried manually navigate and load the drivers of intel USB 3.0 while the selection of drive / configure screen (they seem to load but the error persists)
  • Boot order set to the target drive / array at the top of the list
  • Off the other boot devices.
  • Operation change of SATA (AHCI, SATA, RAID, etc.)
  • I tried different ports USB 3.0 and 2.0.
  • Tried with laptop in itself and dock.

It seems that the Windows 7 installer will not work on this USB 3.0 flash drive anything (not even on 2.0 ports). Each search than I on this subject shows results that relate to an upgrade install or simply clean the score target and marking as active (what I've done, and what does not). I can't, for the life of me, understand what the limitation or the problem, it is that is causing these installs do not work.

I don't have the option to try different USB 3.0 drives. Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • message "your purchase could not be completed" when you try to install Adobe Reader from the Windows store

    I try to install Adobe Reader Touch to my Surface installed Pro Windows 8.1 Microsoft Windows store.  I get the following message is displayed:

    "Your purchase could not be executed.

    Something has happened and it's impossible to make your purchase.  "Error code: 0 x 080070057.

    Only, this seems to be a problem with Adobe Reader Touch.  I was able to install applications from other vendors and Adobe (for example, Photoshop Express to the elements).  So it doesn't seem to be a problem with my Adobe account, or a problem with Windows Store system.

    Anyone have this problem?  All solutions?

    THX.

    Hi jjquinn75

    I recommend contacting Microsoft about this error message as it is returned by the windows store program.

    Furthermore, I you recommend to download the installer for Adobe reader offline using this link (Adobe - Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Distribution ) and then try to install on your device pro surface.

  • Cannot install Windows 7 from the external DVD

    I got the Macbook Pro 13 "Early. 2011 Super DVD player has been broken. So, I bought a new hard drive (750 GB) and the original hard drive (320 GB). I change the position of the hard disk, I put 750 GB as the first hard drive and 320 GB as a second hard drive (by using the drive caddy).

    The current operating system is the Version OS X El Capitan 10.11.2.

    So I try to install Boot Camp using Boot Camp Assistant.

    Boot Camp Startup Wizard

    Presentation of the boot - you need an optical drive to install windows, so I plug my external DVD and put it inside the Windows 7 Installer, click on continue.

    Create or remove a Windows Partition - I select Macintosh HD (750 GB) and create a second partition for Windows, press to continue.

    Create a Partition for Windows - resize the disk partition of 750 GB became 498 for OS X and 250 GB for Windows. Tap on install.

    Partition drive...

    After the system restart and boot from external DVD

    The display flashes only _, I waited 10 minutes... does not.

    Reboot again without using external DVD, only a white screen (2-3 minutes) and appear only flashing _

    I tried using

    1 USB key and still the same.

    2. repair Boot Camp after having created the new partition

    3 remove the hard disk and install mac OS X using internet recovery, install OSX Lion, a Lion training camp and try to use refit, does not.

    Can someone help me?

  • How to install Windows 7 from the disc

    I need to know how to install the Windows 7 Home premium OEM version from the installation disc. I didn't know when I bought it on EBay, it is a generator system copy. I need to access the custom option to reinstall the full version of Home Premium on the ultimate version, which is not valid because I didn't know he could go only on a single computer. Anyway, if anyone could help me by allowing me to know where to find instructions on how to install Windows 7 Home Premium OEM version from the installation disc, I would be grateful. Or if you can send me the instructions, would be great.

    Change the BIOS so that the DVD drive is the first boot device. Save the BIOS change (exit and save) then insert the DVD and follow the instuctions. Note: OEM media can perform an installation "Custom"and clean. "

  • How to run windows 7 on the laptop already installed windows 8 from the same hard drive

    Hello

    I use a computer dell laptop with windows 8 OS. I want to install Windows 7 as another operating system on the same laptop. I got the image file on the hard disk in a different partition. I have not found any flash drive or dvd close to home. So, is it possible to make from the same laptop?
    Thank you
    Teja

    You will need to put the contents of the ISO image of Windows 7 on a DVD/Flash drive file and start, but after that you can install it on the same hard drive.  You could take little space and divide your hard drive into multiple partitions and install on one of them, or you can create a virtual hard disk (VHD) file and install on that.

    I wrote about the VHD method on my site back when Windows 8 came out first, but it works backwards too.

  • Install Windows Vista from the recovery disk

    I think the upgrade to windows 7, the official version. However, before I do that, I know that if I can downgrade to windows vista, as soon as I upgrade to Windows 7. I'm not sure that you will be able to go back to windows vista. Currently I have Windows Vista Home Premium. I also have the recovery disk. Can I install windows Vista on a recovery disk? I saw this article where they made a cd to the recovery partition and installed windows vista. Following the link to the article: http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/window-on-windows/?p=622. If you can help me with this, that would be grateful.

    There is no decommissioning as such; Installing a clean place to go back to Vista.

    You can reinstall Vista recovery disk/s that you made, or with those of the manufacturer of the computer.

    And if it was / is a hard youtr recovery partition, do you the recovery disks FRO it. Mick Murphy - Microsoft partner

  • Cannot install Windows 8 on the replacement hard drive

    I got the replacement from Dell hard drive which he said would come with Windows 8 and pre-installed drivers. Well, I installed the hard drive and he said no. OS can be found. I didn't have a chance to make my own backup discs, but Dell sent a CD Windows 8 recovery media with the laptop and now with the replacement hard drive.

    When you try to install Windows 8 on the new hard drive, I get to the part where it tells me to choose a partition to install Windows 8 on and none of them will not let me. There are 5 to choose from and I don't know what to do to get past this. The largest partition either 5A about 934 GB of space left out of 1 TB, but as I said I can't choose it or one of the other ones for the installation.

    You just have to click on next, in any case, despite the message?  Otherwise:

    Start on the DVD of Windows 8, instead of install now, click repair your computer, Advanced Options, invites ... when it opens, type the following:

    DiskPart
    Select disk 0
    clean

    Then, try to install.

    The above will remove all the data partition and disk, allowing you to do a clean install on an empty drive (these scores are not required, and Windows will create its own partitions (two) he needs to install and run).
