Trying to install XP Pro on a separate hard drive with Windows 7 on a different drive__

• Cannot install XP Pro on the replacement hard drive.

  I had to replace the hard drive in my desktop pc and now when trying to install XP Pro on the new drive, Windows Installer States he is not hard drives are.

  I suspect it's maybe because I couldn't install the HDD no operating system drivers.  The hdrive installation instructions say to boot from the Windows installation CD.  Then, when you are prompted for the SCSI or RAID driver to press F6 (which I did) then press S to specify additional devices (which I did).  At that time there installing Windows asks me to insert the "floppy" third-party driver in drive A:.  I have no floppy or the car drive.  I tried to load the CD of drivers in two of my two cd/dvd drives, but it has never recognized the cd.

  I contacted Seagate hdrive manufacturer and they said that my motherboard drivers need be updated so that windows would allow the hard disk drivers be installed from Cd.

  They said either communicate with the provider of the motherboard and ask drivers to a floppy, then buy and install a floppy drive on my pc all them in order to get Windows Installer on this new hard drive.  Another option was to buy a new operating system!

  Hoping someone here knows a reasonable solution to this.  My Win XP Pro version is 2002.  I create a copy of it and integrated SP3 with it and tried to start one, but still, it does not recognize the hard drive.  The hard disk appears in the BIOS.

  Thank you!

  If you have a new hard drive Seagate the very next thing would be to download Seagate Seatools (bootable CD)
  and check bad sectors:

• HP Probook 4520 s installed new hard drive with Windows 7 pro x 64 and drivers - very lag

  Hello

  I had my HP Probook 4520 s for 5 years and a few months ago, he started to become very lag, especially when you use the internet, streaming video and games.

  I thought I had identified the problem as a bad sector on the hard drive and so I bought a new hard drive and upgraded the RAM from 4 GB to 8 GB at the same time.

  When I installed the new hard drive, I couldn't burn an image of my old hard drive (it would stop during the process and was unable to do so because of an error). I used my little HP Windows 7 Pro x 64 operating system DVD and your HP Application and Driver Recovery DVD to install the necessary drivers on my replacement new drive.

  The RAM and the new hard drive seem to be good, however, it's more lag. I tried to use latancy monitors to see if the drivers are the issue. It seems that there is a huge amount of latancy and my CPU is at an almost constant usuage of 100%.

  LatancyMon points in the following drivers: usbport.sys, tcip.sys, acpi.sys, iastor.sys, ndis.sys, dxgkrnl.sys and so on.

  I've seen forums where they will guide you step by step how to determine what drivers are causing latancy. This I could do although he always seems to change drivers who are the cause of the problem and there seems to be a lot of pilots of causing this problem it is so difficult to bring out here that one. In addition, there seems to be no solution to these problems. The only one offered is to update the offending drivers. This does not solve the problem with lag and the latancy yet.

  Any ideas?

  P.s. I really don't know not what is the underlying issue is here so I don't know if this is the right forum to post in. Drivers may not at all be the issue, I spent the last four weeks trying to solve this problem.

  Hello skinandbones13

  Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

  I understand that you have a problem with your laptop. However, since it is a commercial laptop, you should post your question on the map cell of the HP Enterprise Forums for a better answer.

  Have a wonderful day!

• I can install all programs on a separate hard drive to install Windows 7?

  I have Windows 7 Ultimate and have been installing my programs on the C: drive. However, it is only 40 GB so I ordered a new drive and I was wondering if I could uninstall all my programs and re - install on the second disc, I would encounter problems such as file search programs in the hard drive? I have looked at other responses, but do not understand etc. extended partitions

  Hello

  Bad audio is not an uncommon problem in Windows 7. Try this for your audio problem:

  http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows7/how-do-i-stop-my-music-from-skipping-or-breaking-up-when-i-play-it .

  Let me know if this fixes that issue for you.

  The default installation directory, although you can change, all default Windows programs will be always need to reside in C:\Program Files and Program Files (x 86). You would be better to do a clean install with Windows and your programs to the new larger capacity disk and keeping the smaller disk to your audio and video files.

  Kind regards

  P.S. I would increase the pagefile to 6144 (1.5 times the amount of RAM). Or you could try a 16 GB for the ReadyBoost flash drive. See the following article: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/using-windows-readyboost-to-increase-performance/ .

• Can I install unused Windows 7 on my new hard drive with Windows 8?

  SO to make a long story short I let my friend borrow a laptop computer and in some SORT he wiped the BONE. I have a HP Pavilion g7 and it is running windows 8. I called HP and after 45 minutes they told me they could send me a new hard drive and a 8 windows recovery disk. I already have an unused copy of windows 7. My question is can I install windows 7 on it and forget just about 8. (Yes, I'm one of those people) but it's so much easier for me to use. but theoretically, since I do not have an operating system on the hard drive I should be able to right? Thanks in advance!

  Original title: Windows 8 for windows 7

  Check the HP website first to ensure Windows 7 drivers are available for this laptop model. So here, there should be no problem with installation of Windows 7.

  Like to do a clean install with Windows 7, please see the following instructions:

  You cannot format the drive Windows is installed on to in
  Windows. It's like sawing the branch of a tree, you are sitting
  on.

  What is your purpose here? You want to reinstall Windows properly?

  If so, just boot from the Windows CD (any version) and follow the
  guests for a clean install; the installation will begin by
  formatting the drive.

• Install new hard drive with Windows XP

  That's why when installing Win 2000, or Windows XP with NTFS format that it only rcognizes 137 GB and not the entire 320 GB?  What Miss me.

  You need two things to support a drive larger than 137 GB:

  1. in any version of Windows, you need a motherboard with a BIOS and
  controller that supports LBA 48 bit (or, Alternatively, an add-in)
  controller card that is).

  2. under XP, you need at least SP1 of Windows XP. I'm not sure of what you
  need in Windows 2000.

• While trying to install XP Pro on T60 he does not see the hard drive, but the fact of the laptop.

  Have a lenovo t60 disk opportunity was wiped out when trying to install XP Pro, I get message windows does not see the hard drive, but he sees the laptop.

  If its SATA you need SATA drivers to install. Since the XP CD doesn't have the SATA drivers on it

  Unless you disable the AHCI in the BIOS. Or their wake.

  Or get the SATA drivers. Check out them on diskette, press F6 during installation and then add them.
