• I can install the full version of Windows 7 Professional on my computer Vista Home Premium? If so, how?

  I bought a full version of Windows 7 Professional to install on my Vista Home Premium computer.  I tried to reformat my Vista drive in a right click on the C drive and select "format", but I get a message that I can not format this drive.  Help!

  Thank you
  Darlene

  Here is the Vista Forums.

  You have to boot from the Windows 7 disc to do a clean install.

  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

• Windows Update that affect Internet for Vista Home Premium and Windows 7 connectivity

  Hi, I have two machines in one desktop running Vista Home Premium and a laptop running under windows 7.

  After you apply the Windows updates a few days ago, I was not able to get internet connectivity using my Vista desktop computer.

  I was able to get a wireless on the Windows 7 machine, but to test the router I disabled wireless and tried a wired connection and it did not work.

  If I restore the installation of updates on both machines before the problem no longer exists, but it is clearly not a solution.

  Can someone please help, note that I have established that the router works and all the cables are OK. Thank you.

  I had a very similar experience. See the thread I posted and a solution I found:

• Downgrade to Windows XP Pro Sp2, x 86 Vista Home Premium 64-bit

  I tried, but I have not simply can't work with Windows Vista. I have to downgrade to Windows XP.

  I have a new laptop HP HDX X18t with a Core 2 Duo T9600 2.80 GHz processor (with the last correspondent chipset Intel?)
  4 GB ram ddr3
  Hewlett-Packard Bios F.20, 05/01/2008
  SM Bios version 2.4
  Hardware Abstraction Layer version = "6.0.6002.18005".

  It has the configuration of the hard drive dual option factory. I have removed the C: plant and it will save way later. I then moved
  the 2nd hard drive to the place where the used to be C:. Set startup to boot from the dvd drive for a cool XP with sp2 install.
  This laptop keeps me to install Windows XP, XP sp2, XP with sp3, XP even with Vista Theme.
  I have the factory supplied Vista Home Premium 64-bit dvd disc, and Yes, this will install flawlessly from start to finish
  without ANY problem at all. Hard drives are sata2. I tried to install XP with versions with special sata drivers
  included in the installation cd. No go. Even made several versions of XP sp2 with "simplified" in sata drivers
  the installation cd. Same thing. No go. (no go = blue screen of death)

  Here is the error message (blue screen of death) which continues to appear on all attempts of my XP installs.

  Check for viruses on your computer. Remove any newly installed
  hard drives or hard drive controllers. Check your hard drive
  to make sure that it is correctly configured and completed.
  Run CHKDSK /F to check the alteration of the hard drive, then
  Restart your computer.

  Well, at least I know the hard drive is properly configured and completed, cause the Vista

  any Vista os will install very easily and quickly on this laptop.
  I really don't want or intend to play with the bios, cause I could finish with a fried motherboard.
  I will listen to any solution/suggestion of someone who can help me with installing XP.
  Thank you in advance.

• Activation required: error 0 x 80070005 prevents Windows Activation - please help!

  Hello!

  I get error 0 x 80070005 during activation of Windows 7 x 64 professional.
  I installed the image since the MSDN site for x 64 with SP1 on my new computer
  (Computer SCIENCE student, we have access MSDN through the University).
  As I have already used all my MSDN licenses for my other computers, I bought today
  a professional touch Win 7 x 64 + copy (what my university student software shop
  (offer).
  However, I'm not able to activate Windows with this key, I keep the
  above error and the message "access denied." What makes
  is even funnier, I am also not able to connect to a request for assistance, as the
  P - ID, which is generated during activation of the trial, is not recognized.
  Also, I tried activation by telephone, but the system just won't let me activate.
  as the first group of numbers of my P - ID is not recognized when I send it via the
  the phone keys.
  Anyone has any suggestions, without having to reinstall the entire system? I just used the
  last few days to put up my dev environment and so on, would be pretty awesome if
  could someone come up with a solution without destroying everything!
  Cheers, bd

  You could try a repair installation, and not an own - at least you would keep most of your data/settings/programs...

  Download the SP1 update for your language and edition of the links on these pages...

  Heidoc - Microsoft DR download links

  The links are for downloads from Digital River servers run for MS, so are about as safe as you can get :)

  Once you have downloaded, you then need to burn the DVD of it - use the Windows disc Image burner, or (even better) your favorite at the slowest possible speed burning application.

  Note that you do NOT "drag and drop" the file on the disk, you must use the option "burn image" of your app - or you will end up with a useless coaster :)

  Once you have the disc burned, check it to start the (or other) system OK - but do NOT start repair-you must start the repair of in a normal Windows startup.

  Follow the instructions in this tutorial - http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/3413-repair-install.html

  - and they should help you get through (it is not as hard as it sounds!)

  Always ask first if you are not sure - either here, or on sevenforums.

  Good luck with it!
