You can, but don't need to format the disk first. Just boot from the
Windows 7 DVD and follow the instructions for a clean install. A cleaning
the installation begins by formatting the disc for you.

  • Problem upgrading to 4K Advanced Format hard drive (Windows Update)

    I am running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, on a Lenovo ThinkPad W500 laptop. I am trying to upgrade my Seagate 320 GB hard drive for Western Digital WD-Blue 1 TB. The new drive has 4K (Advanced Format) sectors, as opposed to the sectors of 512 bytes, which seems to be the cause of some problems with Windows. The operating system loads, however, Windows Update will not work, and various programs give strange guests.
    The old drive was cloned to the new using Acronis True Image WD Edition. Alignment has been checked using Acronis WD Align. I clone the old drive. cleaning Windows installation is not an option.
    Microsoft has this article for what seems to be my problem: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/982018. I have already run this file (before the cloning), but the problem remains.
    Online, I've read that it might help to install Intel RST 9.6 or later version. My Device Manager lists currently Intel ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller (under IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers); This is the version of the driver 8.9.2.1002. I tried updating the driver, but without success: I just got the message, "Windows has determined the software driver for your device is up-to-date.»

    I believe that the problem has been resolved, I downloaded Intel RST 9.6.0.1014. The latest version could not be installed on my machine and slightly older than more recent knocked out of my DVD player. Older than 9.6 had the problem with allowing a training of 4K, but 9.6 seems to have been appropriate.
  • Iso file of windows xp can directly be installed USB on a formatted hard drive?

    Iso file of windows xp can directly be installed USB on a formatted hard drive?

    Not directly.

    There is a SMALL chance that if your hardware supports it (unfortunately never say you anything on your PC or BIOS), you can boot from a USB stick or an optical drive and install Windows XP like this.
    But it is unlikely.
    In addition, tell us what you mean by 'windows xp iso file. This is very vague, and we do not know what you are talking about.

  • Where can I download a Windows 7 Professional. ISO?

    Hi guys.

    My University distributed Windows 7 Professional for students on computerized courses.

    I want to format my hard drive and reinstall it. I have the product key (job properties window) but I don't have the disc until the University asked for it, after that I used it and I didn't get me a copy.

    I would like to know, is it an official microsoft site and trust, where I can download my version of W7 Pro for burning a disc to re - install after I have format my hard drive?

    Also, my "computer course" is actually in the music and video production, so I don't consider myself a computer wiz. I've never formatted my laptop in 3 years, I got it and have installed any version of windows on a formatted hard drive. I would be grateful for any advice you can give me for my planned format and reinstallation.

    Thanks in advance,

    James.

    You can also use a data recovery software to help you.the disc you are trying to access either is not designed to be used with your OS, or it has been damaged and the data can no longer be read. Each diskette and hard disk must be formatted to prepare media for use with a particular file system.

  • Installation of SP3 on a newly formatted HARD drive

    Hello

    I have a few questions about the installation of Windows XP Service Packs on newly formatted hard drives.

    Recently I have formatted a new HARD drive and installed Windows XP Home Edition. In order to be upgraded to Service Pack 1 to 3, it is recommended to connect to Windows Update and download and install it from there. I did this and was prompted to install Service Pack 2. During the last steps of the installation (I think that durng the procedure of 'start process'), I lost Internet connectivity and was impossible to reconnect (I use a USB dongle. I think that a virus infection is interfering with the connection). That's why I had to restart my computer for the installation could be completed, but it seemed to be successful that I was able to reboot without any problem. I assume that the installation had actually finished and it was just reset stage that was interrupted.

    Question: even if the installation of Service Pack 2 has not finished and my machine seems to be fine, reinstall Service Pack 2 in order to ensure that it is completely installed?

    Question: Why should I install SP2? If Service Pack 3 contains all fixes and features of all previous Service Packs and it is acceptable to upgrade to Service Pack 1 to 3 directly, why didn't Windows Update invite me to install Service Pack 3 instead?

    Question: I have found a manual download of Service Pack 3 (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=5b33b5a8-5e76-401f-be08-1e1555d4f3d4&displaylang=en), but Microsoft strongly recommends that use you it only on machines in a network, and not on a single computer. Y at - it hurt to do?

    A question here, is that if Microsoft recommends that download the latest Service Packs of Windows Update online, so it seems not possible to fully guarantee your Windows installation before connecting the interest for the first time. All the while I'm software download and installation of Service Pack 2, malware, worms and viruses have been infecting my computer (Avast! blocked a malware exploit). So even if I managed to upgrade to Service Pack 3, my machine is already infected.

    Is there a recommended way to upgrade to Service Pack 3 before you connect to the Internet for the first time?

    Thank you

    Tristan
