  original title: problems of Windows update/upgrade

  I'm currently trying to install Windows 7 on my desktop running Vista.

  Whenever I run the Setup it comes up with the following error: Windows could not retrieve information about the disks on this computer.
  I already put the virtual disk on auto and rebooted several times. I get the same error.
  Also, I tried to update my computer by using the windows update thinking that would help... Windows update decides to not work either! It comes up with the error: Windows Update cannot currently check the updates, because the service is not running. You may have to restart your computer.
  gain, I restarted and it still does not work.
  I am currently running Windows Vista 32 bit on my desk (I thank God for my laptop!).

• "windows cannot find a driver" in the installation package?

  We have a file server and print XP on our network that has a printer Series PCL LaserJet 3330 installed 5th (using the original installation CD and prints from the XP Server). While trying to install the printer on a remote computer, I downloaded the driver package Windows 7 64 bit for the printer on the computer remote and got the error: «Windows cannot find a driver...» "(I don't understand why the pilot was not as it should be in the installation package.) After getting this error - several times, including the re - download the package and re - try - I downloaded the XP Server installation package and I changed the printer driver it as a package to install downloaded for XP. We always get the same error. The installation of the printer worked fine before having to redo our BONES. Anyone know this problem and can help with this?

  This issue is between 64 bit and 32 bit, and there is an easy solution. Once you get back to the way it was before you downloaded the 64-bit package that you go to the machine that you want to load the printer and the printer as a local printer using load say lpt1 port. Auto not detect or print a test page and just finished the installation. Now on the windows 7 computer to join devices and printers and right click on the printer icon and scroll the properties first and left click. Go to the ports, and then add the port and in the box that comes up to put in the name of printserver and the share name of the printer by using the syntax \\printserver\sharename how save and apply and this computer will now be able to print to the printer.

• HP 15: cannot make an image of the system

  I have a laptop HP 15. At 8.1 Windows installed 10 Windows, everything works fine until I try to create a system image. When I click to start it says create Windows 7 system image then fails to 97%. Two questions why Windows 7 and why failing.

  Thanks for any help.

  I use imaging system Windows 10. Open Control Panel, under system & sercurity open backup and restore (this is where Windows 7 is mentioned for the first time), when it opens in the upper left corner you can create system images and a system repair disc. I've done both for Windows 8.1, I used this method with visited 7 & 8.1 without problems so far.

  I ran test on all players and all is good.

  Maybe I should explain why to use to create the system image in Windows. With HP Recovery, what is copied is disks and files to get Windows to start. With system image, that your hard drive internal all is copied, it is BONE, all drives, files, updates and any software that you have installed even saves bookmarks. If your internal hard drive fails, simply install your drive with the image of the system and you're ready to go back just like before. I used this method to get laptops in use in very short time.

  I solved the problem of a backup with Macrium Reflect disk to clone my internal hard drive. It's ok but the Windows image is much easier to use, that's why I love it and recommend it to friends to use it. You do not need to be an expert, just a couple of clicks and windows does the rest.

  Thanks for all the help and suggestions. I still want to resolve questions about the reasons Windows 7 instead of 8.1 and why keeps hanging.

  This means that the hard drive of your HP system controller is not supported by Windows 7 with pilots from the box and you need specific drivers to install Windows 7 on it.  If HP does not have drivers on their website then you're probably not going to succeed.
