Trying to install Win7, repeat the system is not ACPI compatible.

My system is running XP Home SP3, it's all jolly good.  When I try to switch to Win7, be updated by running installation prgm under XP or start from the disc, the installation will stop telling me that my system is not ACPI compatible. Shenanigans.  The whole system is brand new, all latest drivers have been downloaded and installed successfully, the right of the BIOS down to my wireless card.

"This computer is not compliant with the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) standard. Windows must be installed on a computer that supports ACPI. Contact your computer manufacturer for a BIOS update or install Windows on an ACPI compatible computer. »

  • HP dv7-6b50eb: HP recovery launches the cloned SSD, impossible to install win7 on the SSD.

    Hello

    I recently bought an SSD to accelerate my HP DV7. So I tried to clone my previous 1 TB to my 250 GB SSD hdd, but it seems that it's quite simple. :-(.

    I have created the exact same partitions (with the same size, orders, except for my main Windows partition type of course being given my SSD is much smaller) on the SSD as on my old Hdd. After that I made an exact copy of each 3 partitions (HP Recovery partition, system and tools Hp) but instead of copying the windows partition, I left a void on the SSD as the size of the Windows on the old hard drive partition is larger (the data) than the available size on the remaining on the SSD partition. I thought that I could boot on the SSD drive and start the restore process to install Win7 on the empty partition. But when I restart the pc, it does not seem to recognize the boot SSD partition, he prefers not to say "No operating system found".

    I also tried to activate the 3 partition directly (which is the recovery partition) to directly on boot as the partition, but it did not work either. The partition to activate before it was the 1st partition (which is the SYSTEM partition), but he has not worked either.

    Can someone help me do that cloning to work?

    FYI, I did the cloning and the creation of the partition using fdisk and dd on ubuntu.

    Thank you.

    Hi Wawood and Mista B,.

    Thanks for your comments I have a previous message, but strangely I have not found trace of the previous message, maybe I forgot to press the 'POST' button:-s.

    In any case, I was thinking that I understand your remarks Wawood but my goal isn't specifically for the windows on my new SSD partition (not interested in reducing the windows partition, it is just a statement), it was ok for me to any re - install from the recovery partition, a windows 7 from scratch.

    And I'd say Mista B by saying that it would have been stupid HP do not allow someone to use the recovery on the same pc partition, just because it has a different hard drive.

    Finally, I managed to do what I wanted to for those who are interested (HP is not so stupid after all:-p), here's the method I used to clone my hard drive of 1 TB to my 250 GB SSD and keep all the native HP (recovery, hp_tools, System) partitions with a 1 TB hard drive works correctly.

    So what I have is:

    -J' put the SSD as a second drive on my laptop (I guess it should work in the same way if connected by USB)

    -J' I started my pc and downloaded the EaseUs partition master

    -J' ran the program and began by doing a thorough cleaning of the SSD

    -J' made a copy of the system partition of my hard drive of 1 TB to my SSD

    -J' made a copy of the partition my hard drive of 1 TB HP_TOOLS to my SSD

    -J' made a copy of the recovery of my 1 TB hard drive partition to my SSD

    -J' created a new empty NTFS partition in the remaining partition

    I'm done with the same exact score as agenda in my 1 TB HDD.

    1. THE SYSTEM

    2 NTFS empty

    3 recovery

    4.HP_TOOLS

    After that my SSD was not bootable, because the MBR has not yet been copied.

    Then I started a live CD of Ubuntu and I installed boot-repair and he ran.

    I chose the advanced options and set set the mbr and boot from the partition 3.

    I then put the partition recovery (partition 3) as being ACTIVE.

    I removed the hard drive of 1 TB of the laptop (to avoid any error during execution of recovery which ends with the recovered 1To:-p) beeing and replaced it with the SSD.

    I then rebooted the laptop and it starts directly on the recovery partition. I finished in the recovery strategy (I could not choose the recovery from an earlier point in time given that the windows partition is empty (no windows backup)).

    I chose over the full restore, the slight recovery with only OS and drivers and it does the job of recovery. Now that the of what I write this resolved thread :-).

    Hope this helps some people out there with the same questions.

    While trying to install flash player, the software to communicate in Russian - I don't speak this language and need to fix this.   How can I fix the problem of language?

    Hello

    I was able to reproduce the behavior when I updated the Russia region.  If the language and region are worth English/United States of America, the behavior does not occur.  Did you by chance, perhaps by accident, change the region to Russia at some point and then change it back? You have rebooted your system since then?

    I will forward this to the people who handle the installer online and see if they can reproduce.

    In the meantime, you can check to see if the installer offline, full, posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac page exhibit this same behavior?

    Hi gigikhanoom,

    1. you receive messages or error codes?

    2. you remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?

    Windows doesn't detect all antivirus programs, and some antivirus programs report their status to Windows.

    If you receive notifications related to security on your virus protection software, but you know that your antivirus software is installed and updated, you can follow the steps below to stop receiving these notifications.

    Note: You should only do this if you are sure you have a complete and up-to-date antivirus program installed on your computer and that real-time scanning, which checks every file before it opened or used, is turned on.

    For more information, consult the following link:

    Use antivirus software that Windows doesn't find

    If you're still having problems, then you can try to uninstall and reinstall Kaspersky and check.

    You can visit the links below to uninstall and reinstall Kaspersky:

  • Windows Virtual PC integrated with components lock me out of my WinXP - error of OEM comments - "the system could not log. Make sure that your user name and domain are correct... »

    With my new desktop Windows 7 hardware configuration, I decided (before you consider VMware Player) to retry Windows Virtual PC; but instead of using Windows XP Mode (which is useless because the disk is inaccessible), I decided to use my own Windows XP Pro OEM. [I use it for games that won't play on Win7.  Security issues are also irrelevant, because for these games, I'm not likely to use the Web.  Of course, I always Windows Security Essentials in my OEM customers.]

    The problem here is, whenever I have to Activate my integration, features VPC opens as if the Windows XP Mode have been installed (it is not); and when the screen is turned on, it asks my user name and password.  I tried to use the name and the password that I entered when installing my XP OEM; but I get this message:

    "The system could not log.  Make sure that your user name and domain are correct.  Type your password again.  Letters in passwords must be entered using the proper case. »

    How is it that I can't access my Windows XP OEM guest when the integration features are enabled?  Only when they are disabled can I activate my OS; invited but it's counterproductive, because I won't be able to move items from my host in my comments.  Once more, if I should decide to use VPC as my host VM for Linux Ubuntu/Kubuntu, what chance is there that the activation of the integration features will lock out me my Linux guest?

    Another thing: in the Start Menu under Windows Virtual PC folder I have shortcuts for ' Windows Virtual PC ' or 'Virtual Machines' (according to the Win7 version I use, 32-bit or 64-bit); but I also have "Windows XP Mode", I have not installed.  How is that possible?  I checked the shortcut, and point it to rundll32.exe.  Should I just get rid of the shortcut, or I will incur damage to my VPC if I do?
