Windows 7 on Pavilion a6500f - Clean install freezes

I'm doing a clean install of Windows 7 Professional on the Pavilion a6500f.

I want to install on a newly formatted drive partition.

Everything goes well until the end, when the installer says it finishes the installation.

Then the computer hangs / crashes.  No movement on the screen, no response from the mouse, etc.

I guess this is a problem with the video or audio driver, etc, but don't know how.

NVIDIA has WIN 7 drivers on their site, but how would I integrate/slipstream them in the installation?

I just wanted to add: it's the 64 bit version of WINDOWS 7 Pro, final version paid version.

I noticed that someone else had exact same machine and problem installing using the RC version in June 2009 with no resolution.

Look here: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/board/message?board.id=win7Beta & message.id = 138 & query.id = 863948 #M138

Thanks for help.

Well, the installation problem is solved, but it was a struggle.

What I did to disable integrated video in F10 Setup and set it to PCI.

Then I installed an OLD (c 1999) Creative PCI video card that I found in the basement in the PCI slot.

Windows 7 installation is complete and then I did install all MS Windows updates, including the 2 or 3 elements of pilot which was to monitor Samsung.

Then removed the PCI card and put configuration CMOS integrated onboard graphics subsystem.

So far so good, everything is clean in the Device Manager, and the dual boot with XP SP3 works.

None of this problem stated in the MS. compatibility tool

Maybe if I had done the upgrade instead of custom there was no video problem (drivers?).

We'll see what happens as more software is installed.

Thanks for the tips.

    Unfortunately, HP does not include pre-installed software downloads and I don't know anyway to extract the recovery image.

    The "swsetup" on the C drive folder can have some software installers pre-installed in there, save this file to another storage device before installing clean.

  • Unable to activate Windows 7 with upgrade CD (Clean Install)

    Hi Techies,
    I bought a laptop eligible for the upgrade to Windows 7. I had received the upgrade DVD and has been upgraded successfully. But after a year now because of the corruption of some files I had to reinstall Windows 7, after which it is said that the key is not valid. I tried a clean install. even tried using the Vista recovery disk and upgrade so that the previous method. but still no luck. Can someone advice how this problem can be solved.

    >.. even tried using the recovery Vista disc and then move like the previous method. But still no luck.
    When you install Vista using the original Toshiba recovery disc you will be activated Vista with valid license key. Will upgrade just to upgrade Vista preinstalled, and it must not be enabled.

    After the fresh install of Win7, activate preloaded but button down will not work because this key belongs to Vista original you got with your laptop.

    Is it possible that this update of last year was a success and this year won't work?

  • Activation of Windows 7 Upgrade Version after clean installing forced

    While the reconstruction of my computer, the hard disk on which Windows Vista was installed has failed and I was forced to do a clean install of Windows 7. I was in the process of upgrading to Windows 7 at the time, but I've owned a copy of Windows 7 upgrade and now the software doesn't recognize my product key for a clean install. Is there anyway that I can use my Windows Vista and Windows 7 product keys to activate my operating system?

    Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

    When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

    Click on properties

    Scroll down to the Windows Activation

    Click the link x days before activation.

    Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

    Enter the product key

    Click next

    Select the Activation of the phone

    Click Next when you enter your key page

    Select your country

    Click Next, call the number listed

    Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

    Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

    They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

    Click next to complete the activation.

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  • Re: Windows activation key and Win7 clean install

    Hello

    me again :-)

    So, I'll install the new ssd in my Tecra R840!

    Since I want not to clone my real SSD hdd but, instead, do a new window 7 Professional 64-bit installed, how can I achieve this without any DVD (my previous Toshibas...
    . I had 2 front, first one dating back to 1997 had CD/DVD with the OS!).

    So, I have the activation key in the label on the back of my Tecra but I don't have the media with OS!

    Please help solve this problem :-)

    Kind regards
    Paulo

    If you want to install the original recovery image, you must create restore DVD first. This recovery disk, you can use for installing the OS.
    In the user s manuals document clearly described how you can do so before you swap HDD create recovery disc in first.

    Product key to the label part of the preinstalled version.

  • Loss of Internet and Windows features limited after a clean install of Windows 7

    Hi all

    Here's a bit of context. I had an additional Lenovo T410 sitting around, so I tried restoring it to its "factory condition" by a start-up "format". Plan was to boot from the CD drive and reinstall Windows 7 (32 bit) in the process. However, disaster, after the process complete, I'm now stuck in a kind of safe mode (everything is bigger than usual) and the computer is running several pilots. I manually installed the network card driver (can identify networking but cannot connect to the internet). Device Manager still shows device Base system, controller, Ethernet, Serial Port PCI, PCI Simple Communications Controller and unknown to be updated device drivers.

    My goals here are to 1) restore internet connectivity and 2) make all the features of Windows 7 Home Premium.

    Thank you for any input!

    * Virtual H.o.t. If you stuck with me through this whole explanation.

    Lenovo.com connect on another computer, click Help, enter your computer type and download the network drivers for your machine. Then return to the page to download the driver to your computer and download ThinkVantage System Update. Run this and it will update automatically the rest of your hardware drivers (see the post of Zoltan, above).

  • Windows 7 installation disc - to clean install

    Hello

    I would like to reinstall Windows 7 on my X 1 carbon from scratch, whether without all the bloatware. Where can I get Win7 image/disc to do? I tried to install Windows 7 on my friends drive MSDNAA Win7 but the key does not match (I couldn't activate Windows).

    Thanks for the help,

    Mike

    Lenovo do not sell these discs. MSDNAA as in DreamSpark? The image on the DreamSpark are not images of detail. You would need detail picture of the version of Windows 7 to work with serial number only. that you got.

    Any ideas anyone please

    You said in one of your previous posts that you have run the test diagnosis and everything going on, now you ran again and you get an error of memory.  Indeed, the error message indicates the checksum failed probably because of defective memory chips.  Reinstall the chips and see if the problem persists.

    Run the tests again:

    1. Turn off the computer and connect the power adapter.
  • Can I use a product key UPGRADE from 32-bit Windows 7 to a new clean install of Windows 7 64-bit?

    In 2009, I upgraded my laptop from Vista to Windows 7 32 bit. This laptop recently died and is no longer in use.

    I am building a new computer and I want to install it on Windows 7 64 bit (there no initial operating system because it is a made to measure machine).
    Can I install Windows 7 64 bit on the new machine and then use the old product key, that I received in 2009, even though it was a upgrade for the 32-bit product key?

    If its a version upgrade, the answer is no.

  • HP Envy 17: Clean install Windows 10 without upgrade.

    Hello

    First of all, I am very happy with my new HP laptop first, it's amazing!

    Now my problem. The laptop came with 8.1 Windows preinstalled with a free upgrade to Windows 10, however, I want to do a clean install Windows 10 without going through the process of upgrading (or would defy a 'clean' install), without additional software (I have already downloaded all the drivers and software from HP Web site) and I wanted to make the installation of the driver/software myself.

    Now, I had the key OEM with software, however...

    I read several threads related to this problem, the recommended steps were required to use the creator of media, but that won't install it Windows 8.1? I know that I coud after upgrade, but I wanted to avoid this step

    In any case to create support for Windows 10? If I clean install 10 Windows with a retail key, I'll lose the built in recovery?

    Thank you very much for your kind attention,

    Best regards

    Francisco

    To answer your questions:

    (1) MS media creation tool: Activation in Windows 10 - Windows help offers several options: to upgrade this PC now, create installation media (download the ISO file), create an installation (DVD or USB) media.  Choose the option that suits you - understand that upgrading PC, this option does NOT create an ISO file or installation media.

    (2) lose the built-in recovery.  IF you ask on the resumption of Win8x HP - then Yes.  That no longer works after upgrade Win10.

    (3) retail vs upgrade and recovery: Version does not matter, you will lose HP Win8x recovery without worrying.

    (4) retail key - you get ONLY a touch of detail if you buy a copy at Win10 retail.  The version proposed for the free update does not product keys for activation.  You MUST install a version upgrade on top of an existing installation of Win7/8/8.1 so that it will activate.  If you install directly from media Win10 Upgrade, starting from the media and did an install clean, not only will win 10 then NOT activate, right now, it will NEVER activate.  MS talking about providing an option IN THE FUTURE, to allow people to enter a Win7/8/8.1 existing product key - but this feature is not present today.
