  Hi n m,

  Boot you from the DVD to start the installation, or have you started the installation in the existing version of Windows?

  I would like to know if you want to perform a new installation or an upgrade installation.

  You can not install Windows on an unallocated partition, if you install vista on brand\fresh the new hard disk, you will need to create partitions on the hard disk.

  Method 1:  Format the partition and then try to install Windows Vista.

  Important: The applications on the computer and all data will be lost when you format (New Installation) of the partition.

  Method 2: You can follow the steps mentioned in the article below

• Windows CD can not find installed hard drives

  I have a PC that has windows XP installed and worked well and I have DSL so I kept it updated. It has been updated for the updates. It was a month that it seemed hung on a windows update and I've finally powered down to exit the update mode. After that, he would finally in XP but would not other that the busy when an icon is clicked. I decided to reload XP using the same CD I used originally when I built PC. It will load the drivers to install XP, but when installing windows is selected it says no hard drives found. When booting 2 HARD disks are displayed, but are not detected when you look in the BIOS. I've tried changes in the BIOS as auto detect HDD including default BIOS and not go. I remembered to change a partition using Partition magic 8.0 and decided that might be the problem, so I started in the magic of partition and formatted part C of the HDD in NTFS, but the results are the same. Any suggestion is appreciated. TIA

  Do you mean you see a message like this?

  Setup did not find any hard drives installed in your computer. Make sure that the hard drives are powered on and properly connected to your computer, and that any hardware configuration of the drives is correct. This may involve a diagnosis provided by the manufacturer or the installer running. Setup cannot continue. To quit Setup, press F3.

  If the disks are not appearing in BIOS, it seems unlikely that XP will be able to see them no more.

  Describe the best you can, your hard disk configuration...  IDE, SATA, SCSI, RAID configurations...

  You build the hardware yourself or is it a system store bought?

  Are you able to determine when the system turns on, the brand and model of your motherboard and the BIOS it is running?

  Without more information, I can only offers these general reflections where to search:

  When you see a message like this, obviously the XP installation starts to load, but then when the installation program needs to go out and find your hard drive is not find the hard drive.  It means not necessarily your hard drive is defective and if it worked before, it's probably still plugged.  It simply means that the installation of XP is not able to find it.

  Looks like you need enter the BIOS on your system by pressing the 'Delete', F2, F10 or F12 key (what the key is good for your system), find the section where the types of hard disks and hard disk interfaces are configured and temporarily change the setting so the XP installation is able to find the hard drive.

  Where to find the accommodation and how to change depends on your system manufacturer and the version of the BIOS, so you end up having to look at her.  If you know your system brand and model, we can probably help you find a job.

  You must locate and change the interface mode to your hard drive in the BIOS so that when installing XP loading, it will be able to locate the hard drive.

  Before making adjustments, you should take note of what are the current BIOS settings, so you can change when you are finished.

  The adjustment varies so here are some examples that I have accumulated:

  The adjustment is done in the BIOS and could be in Integrated Peripherals, Configuration of SATA, SATA Mode device.  After you make the changes, save them and restart your XP installation program.

  If you find that the mode is set on the RAID/SATA mode, change the IDE mode.

  If you find that the mode is set to AHCI, change the ATA mode.

  If you find that the mode is set to AHCI emulation Mode, change the IDE emulation mode.

  If you find that the mode is set to SATA, SATA mode off or change the ATA mode.

  If you find that the mode is set to SATA Native Mode, disable the native SATA Mode.

  If you find that the mode is set on AHCI/RAID Autodetect, change the combination mode.

  If find you the setting that works for you, I would like to know what it is so I can add it to my notes.

  Do, or do not. There is no test.

• Adobe Flash Player v16.0.0.305 for Opera on Windows 7 can not be installed

  When you download the file for Windows 7, it have a size of only 1 MB, 16.3 MB, which indicates the download page.

  When you run the installer, it opens a window with no options.

  

  Hi Jorge,.

  It's the Installer (which is 1 MB) online.  Then, it downloads and installs Flash Player silently in the background.  We are aware to post it on the white screen with the installer online and are working on a fix.

  In the meantime, you can use Setup offline full (16 MB).  The download of the installer is displayed at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Windows page, in the section "problems".

• Windows Search can not index the A: drive

  Do not assign the letter 'A' on a disk partition, because Windows Search does not index the A: drive. I made a Win7 installation on a system with a SSD boot drive and a conventional hard drives.

  I did my data to partition the A: drive and moved my files user for this partition. Windows Search could not find anything on this drive until I assigned a different drive letter to the partition.

  I know that there are very few machines with floppy drive.

  Is always the convention however that readers and B are reserved for floppy drives and will be until there is no more floppy drives on the left.

  If you connect a USB external floppy drive on your machine, it is the reader, NOT the D or E or F or any other letter.

  Therefore, it is not a good plan to designate any partition on a HARD disk as drive A...

  The deadline passed free installation. Everytime I open Windows Update (in Win7) I get no updates to accept or decline.

  Hello, I just installed CS6 master collection in the history of the order, and when I try to enter the serial number it tells me that: serial number you provided is valid, but no product calling can not be found on this computer. Then it gives me options in the drop-down menu, but the Master Collection CS6 is the only one not listed is not in a menu drop-down.

  Your CS6 must have been bought an upgrade.  He asks you to select/provide is the name/serial number of the previous version, you bought that qualifies you to install and activate the CS6 upgrade version... it would probably be CS5.5 CS3.

• Satellite U840-10N - Windows Installation can not see any drive

  Hi all, this is my first post so I hope that I chose the right place to post in.

  I just bought a new Toshiba Satellite u840-10n ultrabook. He joined WIndows 7 Home Premium 320 GB HHD + SSD of 32 GB.

  Even though I prefer Linux, I need Windows because of Microsoft Visual Studio. I downloaded Visual Studio (legally throught dreamspark.com), but it looks like it has some issues. In particular, I can't create any project.

  After searching the Web for this problem, I decided to try reinstalling Windows, hoping that this will solve the problem, and here's the point.

  Installation process of Windows 7 can not find any drive. I looked through the web a lot to solve this problem, even, without understanding.

  I read a lot of other people had the same problem. I tried different ways and I'm about to throw the laptop out the window.

  Is there anyone can help me?

  See you soon,.

  I used it on my Win8 preinstalled satellite to install Win7 64 bit. Copy it to USB and install from there.

• 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.
  Finally, if you want to ask questions here, really read the answers and recognize them in some way. Here is a link to your other thread:

• Unable to use wireless internet. In addition, my windows update will not be installed.

  Original title: extended error code = Oxfof4

  I have a couple of different symptoms. My laptop acts like it doesn't even have wireless capabilities although the exact model the same sitting next to her was a strong wireless signal (I still had internet capability on this laptop also). In addition, my windows update will not be installed.  I checked "Event Viewer" in system tools and have all sorts of errors. Error service Control Manager, "Warning b57w2k", code error Windows Update Agent and more. Still, the laptop doesn't move and accesses files, but no internet. I scanned with AVG and Malwarebytes 0 infection. Uugh!  Any suggestions?

  Many laptops have a switch that turns on or off the wireless radio.  This can be a physical switch somewhere on the laptop or a combination of the Fn key and one of the F keys.  Read the user manual for the laptop for more details.

  The warning includes "b57w2k" seems to be linked to a Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gigabit Controller (not wireless, wired).  You can click the copy (just below the up/down arrows) on the property sheet for the event and paste the content in your next post here.

  In general, the report that you have 'all kinds of errors' in Event Viewer is not very useful.  We do not understand what you're watching.

• Remove the Windows Vista so that the upgrade can continue. He says that I can not upgrade both on the drive.

  I had to have my hard drive replaced and the company that made him put two versions of 32-bit and 64-bit Vista Home Premium on it.  Soon, I discovered that I was getting conflict on my computer and he discovered that the two were on the hard drive.  I'm trying to upgrade to Windows 7, but I'm at the stage where it tells me to seek answers on the removal of Windows Vista so that the upgrade can continue.  He says that I can not upgrade both on the drive.  I know the other option is to do a clean business, but I would avoid this possibility if possible.

  Hello

  The best way is to clean install and start over.

  In addition, it is not legal to have both installed version that the license is for a single installation.

  If it is a dual boot with 32 bit and 64 bit installed on different partitions, there would not have been the conflicts you would have never started in one or the other.

  See you soon.
