  This downloader legacy has been mounted with problems and all installation guy made him was below standards. As Windows 8.0 is completely obsolete. Use the new installer and get 8.1 Windows media that works directly (both with Windows 8.0 and 8.1 product keys). See here for more details:

  http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/download-Microsoft-Windows-and-Office/Download-Microsoft-Windows/download-Windows-8-1-retail-and-OEM-ISO/

  I recommend you back up the file image .iso and then later to make a USB bootable from it.

• Reinstalling Windows XP for Windows 7 upgrade installation

  Note: Windows XP to Windows 7 help / help of recovery

  I changed Windows XP to Windows 7. When I was on Windows XP I used conflicted software virus: Avast! and Norton. Finally this made me not be able to open anything, especially .exe.  I tried to do a system restore, but I couldn't go to the bar of programs in the start menu. After that, I thought it would be a good time to upgrade to Windows 7 and eliminate these problems. I tried to upgrade to Windows 7 just by putting in the disc, but it wouldn't load because of the previous problem. So, I put in the Windows XP disk and run Setup. When he arrived to the part when he says, "Windows Setup" it came with several errors saying that it could not find the files that should be on the disk. So, I pressed cancel and then turns off my computer. He tells me now when I go to the installation choose a place to put my new windows, and the only one there is C:. The problem is that there are already windows there. Remove the current patrician and then install it or install it even if it is already there. Remember, I want to just install Windows 7 once I get XP working.

  Thanks for all the help in advance!

  Hey Nub-Sauce,

  You can select the C: drive and try the install again. It will try to replace windows with the new installation of windows XP. Failure, then try to delete the current partition and try the install again.

  Note: You may lose the data stored in the system after reinstall, repair, or upgrade Windows XP.

• Code error 0x7E - the file 'autorun.dll' could not be loaded or is damaged. Setup cannot continue. Windows 7 Upgrade installation problem

  I tried to install Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade, 32-bit version. My current system is an Intel iMac (later), with Windows XP - SP3 loaded as a virtual machine with Parallels Desktop 4.0 build 3848 (according to their website, it is supposed to support Windows 7).

  I allocated enough space RAM and HARD drive of the virtual machine to run Windows 7. No matter what I do, when I try to run setup.exe, I get the error message: "the file 'autorun.dll' could not be loaded or is corrupt. Setup cannot continue. Error code is [0x7E].

  The file 'autorun.dll' is present on the disk.

  I saw on the internet that other people have also had this problem, with or without Parallels Desktop, and get a replacement DVD of Windows 7 program made no difference to them. Nor is it an available answer, I've seen.

  My Windows 7 disc is new, so I was hoping that Microsoft could solve the problem for me?

  Thank you.

  
  

  
  

  OK, so, this response is a little late to come, but if you never solved...

  I just encountered the same problem - editing similar (Mac, Parallels 5 in my case, the SP3 of XP, MS Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade) - you must make sure that the DVDROM drive hardware is mapped to "D:" on your XP installation. Thus on the Parallels Desktop menu go to devices, CD/DVD1 and make sure that all your actual DVD player is called is selected (should be the vertical entry in the menu) - not true CD/DVD. The reader should then start and auto run.
  I hope this helps...

• Do I have to do a clean install of Windows 7 upgrade disc?

  Hello

  I use a retail version upgrade of Windows 7 Professional 64 bit on a desktop PC, I've implemented myself 4 years ago.  I have upgraded to Windows XP then.

  I think I would buy a new card mother and CPU in another year and I hope that my current installation of Windows 7 on my hard drive (fairly recent) current will be able to start with the new MB and CPU - and just to require new drivers for chipset.  However, I know that this will not work and I might have to reformat the drive and do a clean install of Windows 7.  I'll be able to do it from my Windows 7 upgrade installation disc?

  Unfortunately, I got rid of my old XP drive because I'm moving soon and I threw it without thinking.  Do I need to reinstall Windows 7?  I still have my old XP serial number and product key, and of course, my Windows 7 product key and serial number.  Also, I have an old system repair disc and could make another if this will help.  Thanks for your advice.

  Zaid

  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.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

  Try the following:

  Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

  Click Install now

  Accept the license agreement

  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Click on drive Options

  Select the disc/s click on Delete

  Click new

  Click on apply

  Click OK

  Click Format, and then click next to proceed with the installation

  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

• failure of the system after the installation of windows 7 upgrade advisor

  original title: failure of the system after the installation of the Advisor to upgrade to windows 7, which now, I can't delete

  My Winows Vista worked fine until I downloaded the windows 7 upgrade advisor - the system crashed, only load windows in safe mode, and when I try to delete the Upgrade Advisor program, it tells me windows service install is not available...

  Follow these steps to try to solve your problems of boot.

   

   

  Restore point:

  http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

  Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

  http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm

  Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.

  .

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   

  If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

  Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  See you soon.

• Windows 7 installation complete with a Windows 7 upgrade key

  I have 2 legitimate copies of Win 7. One is the upgrade, one is the full version. I have already installed the full version on one of my computers. Now, I want to install the upgrade on my second computer that is running the Windows 7 RC. With all the problems doing a clean installation of the version upgrade, I was wondering if I could use my full version install, but use the key to version upgrade? The key is linked somehow to the Win7 upgrade version or it should work?

  I really don't want to have to reinstall Vista, and then install Windows 7.

  Sorry, you need to reinstall Vista because the RC is not eligible for your upgrade disc. This is the key which is important - if you are using the full disc with the upgrade key will always be an upgrade and need for a qualifying version of Windows.

  The rules according to Microsoft:

  In order to install the Windows 7 upgrade version, you must have a system of eligible operating Windows installed and activated.  You cannot install a version upgrade of Windows 7 on a drive blank.  The installation procedure you do not insert a Windows disk in the drive for verification, eligible operating system must be installed.
  If you do not have a qualification system of operating Windows installed with an activated genuine license, then you can not use the version upgrade of Windows 7 - you would need a license of Windows 7 "full version".

  In summary:

  1. a Windows operating system to eligible address must be installed.
  2. the Windows operating system to eligible address must have a genuine license (product key) and it must be enabled.
  3. to upgrade, boot on the eligible Windows desktop, insert the Windows 7 upgrade disc in the DVD player.

  Microsoft:

  Please note: all users of the Windows 7 Release Candidate (including Windows Vista users who have updated to the version Release Candidate) should do a new install of Windows 7 RTM. Please keep this is mind when you plan to download the Release Candidate rather than wait for the release of general availability.

  Thanks again for your help to reach this milestone. We hope that you will join us in testing the RC and Windows 7!

• Windows 7 Upgrade CD - Key convert to Full Installer CD Key

  Hello

  I've been running my PC with a Windows 7 upgraded CD Key (from Vista to 7). Recently my computer crashed and I had to replace a few parts, resulting in an erasure of the hard drive. (NCIX) place that puts the new parts of the computer and the hard drive for me has installed an OEM version (I think?) Windows 7 and now my CD upgrade key does not work. The CD key is not attached to any PC, it works just not on a full installation. I lacks any windows vista CD or no longer has the CD key provided with my PC when I bought it. Is it possible that I can get my walking converted key to activate now on my PC?

  Thank you

• Windows 7 upgrade license dvd for installation complete?

  I bought a box PC with Vista installed a paid to get windows 7 upgrade dvd.

  The computer has since died. and I wonder is my product key for windows 7 valid for a full install on a new empty hard disk for the new PC I build or what I have to buy a new copy of Windows 7?

  Even if a upgrade license can be transferred to another computer, unfortunately this computer must have a license of qualification. This does mean that it cannot be applied to a clean PC then Yes, you may need to purchase a new license.

  If this isn't a brand PC just to check the label of the COA of the former. It is unlikely, but if it was not an OEM license in the 1st place it would be moved.

• Satellite U400-15B - noisy fan after Toshiba WIndows 7 upgrade

  Hello world

  Question 1:
  Last week, I got my Windows 7 Upgrade DVD from Toshiba. I'm leaving has upgrade and after 5 hours, the upgrade was complete. I have encountered a problem that the automated driver installed on the endgame wrong on the update of the BIOS because it is trying to write the backup file of the BIOS on the DVD. After a lot of pressure on the keys, I managed to get the installation to carry and then did the BIOS manually updated later. This succeeded and it updated to V4.80.

  Since the update of the BIOS, the fan noise is much stronger. I noticed it's from the fan that is to the right of the envelope, I guess it is the CPU fan. The fan that blows air on the left side of aeration wors as usual. Any suggestions? Should I get the BIOS, if so, how can I restore from the file BIOS.bak WinPHlash is?

  Question 2:
  The Upgrade of Windows 7 Toshiba DVD, I am able to do a new install of Windows 7, IE not need to upgrade to Vista?

  Question 3:
  On the upgrade DVD Toshiab is automatically installs the drivers required after the upgrade to WIndows 7. He had 22 things to do on my own. Does anyone know how to get the list of the required drivers for this laptop that the upgrade DVD refers to?

  Thank you very much for your time in reading this.

  Have you tried to change method parameters in Toshiba's energy-saving cooling?
  Change it to optimized battery.
  It has reduced the activity of fan on my A300.

  You can find it in the advanced power settings.

• Expiration of the Windows 7 upgrade option!

  Hi, I bought a Toshiba laptop a few months before Windows 7 came out, making sure he had a Windows 7 upgrade option. I didn't upgrade when W7 came out because there could be problems with a new version - obviously I thought that I would wait to see how it was received. In any case, a friend of mine convinced me the other day that it is much better than Vista and I had to upgrade, but now I thought that there was a time limit on the upgrade option, and it expired on 28 February - last Sunday! I can either spend - I missed the boat. I called the customer service, but all they could do was repeat what the web page - the option has expired so far go.

  I'm not at all happy about this because at no time I tells me that there is a limit of time on it. He didn't say it in product information, or outside of the box or what be provided inside the box. I had no idea that I had to do before the end of February for this - if I did I would have done it.

  As far as I'm concerned, I paid for Windows 7. The upgrade option came as part of the cost of the laptop without any mention of a deadline. Toshiba can not see it like that, but it's a reasonable person would believe according to the information provided. Did someone else upset about this? I hope posting here will inspire the action without me having to be made to the small claims court. There is no way that this may be eligible under the law of consumption. Imagine a person selling a book token that had a period of 6 months without telling them and without printing anywhere on the token! That may not be legal.

  If all goes well, there will be a few of us to exert pressure on this issue.

  Luke.

  Hello

  I have ordered the Win7 upgrade kit at the right time and now use Win7 on my Satellite A300.

  What I can say is that this forum is nothing but forum users and here you won't find any option just official statement by people like you and me.
  Another thing, this downloadable image. As far as I know that something like that can not be downloaded.
  What you can do now is to buy the Microsoft installation disc and install the clean version of Win7.

  I don't know what model of laptop you have, but all new laptops are supported Win7 and you can find all the important factors, tools and utilities on Toshiba download page.

  Hello cdrudd, welcome.

  We start back up your data first, if you have a Windows Vista recovery or install CD/DVD, try this:

  1. connect an external drive or flash drive
  2. place the CD of Windows Vista in the status bar, and close
  3 boot the disk and choose "repair my computer".
  4 choose "Command Prompt"
  5. type the following command:

  CD c:

  | Come in

  users of CD

  | Come in

  dir

  | Come in

  From here, take note of what your user name folder name. Then type...

  copy c:\users\yourusername e:\users

  | Come in

  * ' e' will be the letter of your external device. It could be F, G, H or so now (according to which drive letter was already used)

  Once the copy is complete, you can pretty much use the following commands to keep the rest of the data:

  copy c:\program files e:\program files -copy everything in the folder program files

  You can use the dir command to view the contents of a directory. Then, you can use the cd command to navigate to a directory.
