Windows 7 will not install on hard drive

HiReinstalling win 7 on a replacement hd (not new, but fully operational), I get to the part of the facility where he wants me to choose the partition. I chose part 1 (136.6 GB) when click Next I get "Setup was unable to create a new system partitionor locate a system partition."

I'm missing something? The HD is a good and even make (Wd Scorpio) so I'm stumped for the solution.

Any help greatly appretiated.

Cappers cordially.

PS: I forgot to say before was having trouble getting press to load the dvd on the black start screen its hit & miss.

Because you gave the No. P/N how do you want to know what's going on or what system it is installed or if it's even a HP laptop? And on a new installation, you should not create a partition to install windows will only him. Windows also requires a 100 MB to install is that you can not touch and the rest should be left clean for installation.

    Laptop HP 2000-2b19WM will not again take hard drive, no parameters in Bios to allow to change the SATA or IDE drives I activated the legacy... support any help would be appreciated...

    OK, that makes sense. Starting with Windows 8 key Code is built into the BIOS. If you could get an OEM of Windows 8 drive you can install it and it just works (activate) without needing a key Code.

    And if she has had 10 Windows activated on this subject, you can reinstall Windows own 10 and it will activate only as soon as it is connected to the internet.

  • Windows 7 will not recognize the dvd drive

    Windows 7 will not recognize the dvd drive, although it worked well for more than two years.  Now I can't access it to install new software.

    It will not be displayed in the Device Manager, bad shooters to say it is not connected or is, tried Fixit fix (could not as "not applicable to your computer update"), uninstall iTunes (in the case of a conflict - even if it worked with the DVD of > 1 year), etc., but still cannot access the DVD.

    It's obviously a known issue, given that a support page - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976187 that recommends the fix or manually disable ALPM active power management.  If it of a known issue, why is not included in the updates and that I have to disable ALPM power if management it worked ok before?

    What now? Is turn off the power, my only option?  What happens if it is not yet recognized after that?

    After the foregoing:

    References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.

    Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
    a process that solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
    Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
    RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
    below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
    cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
    do it right.

    Hello.

    I have a Qosmio F30-112.
    I tried to install the Windows XP Professional instead of the Media Center edition.
    However, during the execution of the installer, my laptop does not recognize the hard drive. Therefore, the installation cannot continue.

    I thought it might be a problem of corruption with my laptop and reinstalled Media Center Edition successfully.
    But when I try to install XP Professional it always gives me the same error.

    Suggestions for the configuration of the BIOS or solutions for why this is happening?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Just a question:
    You are looking for in this forum for other similar issues with regard to the installation of Win XP and lack HARD drive? I doubt

    The fact is that your notebook has a SATA controller and you need a SATA (Intel Matrix Storage Manager) driver.

  • Brand new Aspire XC - 603G (ACX - 603 G-UW31). Windows 7 will not install in Legacy Mode

    Hello

    I am trying to configure a newly purchased office of Acer (Aspire ACX - 603 G-UW31), who has installed Windows 8.1, for my mother who cannot grasp the steep learning curve of Windows 7 to Windows 8.

    I have a licensed copy of Windows 7 x 64 on DVD, and even after the SecureBoot mode off then launch MSC forever and then starting with F12, by selecting the DVD drive as a boot device, Windows will not install correctly.

    The very first steps of the configuration are very well, it is, I'm asking the press actually starts to any key to boot from the DVD, Windows Setup loads some files, but the problem comes when the installation of Windows. I get a STOP error to the ASF with the message "The BIOS in this system is not fully complaint ACPI." There is no BIOS update for this model. That's the traditional way...

    Any ideas?

    Thank you, Nick

    All,

    I would like to announce, we have released an update of the BIOS that supports the element of 'Throw the CSM' in the BIOS Setup menu. Please visit http://www.acer.com/worldwide/ -> select your region-> click Support-> drivers and manuals-> select your product and then download the version of BIOS released on 15/09/2014 (or later version).

    Please be aware due to material limitations when MCS-mode you may experience some audio issues HDMI.

    I don't have a solution to your problem of "dvd".

    Buy an external hard drive and use it for backups of files.

    A hard disk of 1 TB post can be had less than $100, to the Canada. The United States will be even less.

    Thanks to the external hard drive for backups of files, you don't have to sit by the computer and feed it with DVD whenever he asks. You can walk away. The computer will do its thing without you.
