Windows xp will not install on DBAN erased the hard drive
I had a virus on my hard drive that seems impossible to remove so I used DBAN to clean the disc. I have a disc under license of Windows XP Home Edition I used several times on this computer - an IBM ThinkPad T42. The player seems to be erased, but now when I try to install Win XP it goes through the formatting process I get a message that says that the formatting may not be completed and the reader can be corrupted or damaged. I tried several times, including the variant of the size of the partition, but I get the same message.
You must initialize and partition the disk before formatting it. See step 5 here--> http://computershopper.com/storage/howto/install-a-new-hard-drive-in-five-easy-steps

Windows 7 will not install, it cannot find the drivers
I have a Dell Dimension XPS Gen 2. I am trying to install Windows 7 Home Premium on a new SATA drive. Before installing, I formatted the hard disk by using Windows XP (running on another HDD SATA). The two SATA drives are connected directly to the motherboard.
I install from a flash drive, for reasons I will explain below. The installer comes to the point where it asks if you want to perform a custom installation or upgrade. I select custom installation, and the next screen says it can't find drivers and guests to find the drivers. Because I can't provide the necessary drivers, the installation does not further.
I could copy the drivers to the flash drive, if I knew what files they were. The drivers from the site Web of Dell's downloadable apparently only as a .exe file that you run to install drivers, in order to get the individual driver files is problematic.
Previously, I tried to install Windows 7 from the original XP disc. This is 'successful', apparently because it finds the drivers what he needed on the XP disc. But then I couldn't boot Win7 except the XP disc was running. On this basis, I suppose that the pilots were located on the XP disc but not copied on the Win7 disk during installation, so that if I try to boot from the Windows 7 disc and the XP disk was not running, Win7 can not find the drivers and does not start.
That's why I tried to install from the flash drive... so the new facility would be not dependent on disk XP to start. But now, as I say, the Windows 7 install program stalls at the prompt for drivers.
You can use some advice. Thank you.
Downloaded an older version of the Win 7/Vistadrivers and it seems stable so far.

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

After leaving another utility popped up giving me the opportunity to erase the HARD drive and so I did... After fact as well and all I had was a blank screen, no windows more or no matter what utility to reinstall windows, then I used my winxp pro installation CD, but the program installation would continue not after a certain point by saying that the installation did not find any HARD disk installed. followed by "ensure that any disk HARD r turned on and correctly connected, and that no matter what material associated drive configured correctly, this may involve running a manufacturer provided diagnostic or Setup program. Clearly it took me by surprise. What was supposed to be a cut to white erase and reinstall now me baffled and angry. Formats the HDD of the solution? If so why didn't not the usefulness of lenovo do... If not, what is the problem? Someone help pls
Welcome to the forum!
Go into the BIOS (F1 at startup), set the "compatible" SATA mode (NO AHCI), then press F10 to save and exit, and you should be all set.
Good luck.

I had pre installed windows vista on my laptop. now, I replaced the hard drive. so, can we recover only windows giving you the serial number? I have sony laptop.
How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.
There is no Vista free download legal available.
Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.
Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.
If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):
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
