Can't Install Windows 7 Home Premium on my new Pavilion dv6
Well guys I have a serious problem here. I recently bought myself a new HP notebook and as I took a first glance at all the unnecessary programs and applications that were allready installed I decided to reinstall windows from the start. So i downloaded a free Windows 7 Trial and burnt the image to a dvd. I thought I could activate the trial later on with my genuine Windows 7 key on the back of my notebook. But the win7 setup didn't even get me that far! After that I had formated the HDD during the setup process it just get's to "finishing installation". This is where the following error message pops up:
"Windows setup could not configure windows to run on this computer's hardware"
All I can do here is just click "ok". Then the computer reboots and it says "the windows installation wasn't finished before" or so..
Please, please help me! I have no idea how to solve this problem! Could maybe a hp employee help me out?
This is my product:
HP Pavilion dv6-7145ez (B8G15EA)

I thank everybody for solutions
Hi:
Try using this free partitioning and formatting software on your C:\ drive first.
http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html
Did you use this method of making a W7 DVD that I have posted for dozens of users who have all gotten W7 to install this way?
If you can read the 25 character Microsoft windows 7 product key, you can download plain Windows 7 ISO files to burn to a DVD for the version of windows that came installed on your PC, and that is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC's case.
Burn the ISO using the Burn ISO option on your DVD burning program and burn at the slowest possible speed your program will allow. This will create a bootable DVD.
Or use the Windows 7 USB/DVD installation tool to compile the ISO file you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB method of compilation.
http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool
Use the 25 character product key on the PC to activate the installation.
The key will activate either a 32 or 64 bit installation.
Then go to the PC's support and driver page to install the drivers you need.
Link to the W7 ISO file downloads is below.

Can I install windows 7 home premium with parallels 8
Getting confused here. I read that Parallels 8 will not be supporting Windows 7 any longer. But will it allow me to install it on my MacBook Pro? I have machine embroidery software that uses 7 and is questionable if it will work on Windows 8.
Not sure where yo may of read that but it is totally false. Or Parallels would be losing tons of money because no one would ever buy it or upgrade the copy they now have.
Parallels is a Virtual Machine software program and should support many version of Windows along with Linux and even Mac OS X. All other VM software programs sure do. VMware Fusion and Oracle's Virtualbox.

I just broke my older Acer Aspire 4752G.
I just backup entire Partition my Windows 7 Home Premium (32bit) with Acronis True Image Home 2014 BootCD Premium.
intend to restore in this brand new Acer Aspire E1-410.
Acer Aspire E1-410 don't have Legacy Option only UEFI
Acronis True Image Home 2014 BootCD Premium fully support EUFI but alas my Original Windows don't boot
So I intend to use repair BootRec command prompt
These CD Windows won't detect in these Acer
So I call Acer Technical Support They said :
there is NO OTHER WAY to change this UEFI to LEGACY MODE (Build-in Bios mode CANNOT change other than UEFI)
you must install via DVD who FULLY SUPPORT UEFI -> Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 (ONLY in x64bit mode).
I hope you can resolve these for me.
Thank you.It is possible to install Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit from DVD to a UEFI based hardware, but must be done using an answer file. It may or may not work if you are using a recovery DVD. Either way, the OS is not supported on that hardware.
Windows 8 32bit is supported on UEFI hardware.
The problem with Win7 32bit on UEFI is a problem in the bootloader. The OS cannot boot because the bootloader cannot find the OS. I had suspected it may be possible to get the OS to boot by using BCDBoot, but since it isn't supported I have not put in any
effort to determine the method of doing it. -
I have been having trouble installing Windows 7 Home Premium on my 2008 iMac while using BootCamp. It has OS X Mavericks 10.9.1. Every time I try and use bootcamp I come across a blank black screen with a flashing white curser in the top left hand corner after it has restarted. If anyone knows a solution to this that would be great.

Unable to install windows 7 home premium updates error code 643 (KB 954430, KB973688 & KB2538243)
Unable to install windows 7 home premium updates error code 643 (KB 954430, KB973688 & KB2538243) - Please help me!!
I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit on a Lenovo ThinkPad E530. This laptop is only brands new.
KB954430, KB973688 & KB2538243 - These three updates keep giving me problems. In Windows Update, under "view update history" these keep showing up as failed. I also get the error, "Code 643".
At the end of the installation it tells me three updates are failed to be installed and when I shut down to try to update, Windows always configures up to ~15%, then fails, and reverts changes, then prompts me to install updates the next time I turn my computer on. Each time, I have to re-install every update that I had installed prior to shutting down.
I went through Trouble shooter - "Fix it" numerous times, Repaired Net framework profile and also followed few instructions I found from the net such as running "Reset Register Windows update Components" but nothing works so far.
I even tried manually installing KB954430 but it told me "An error occurred during the installation of assembly component. 7B30B69B-OE6C-B7EO-A06B-D6B9ABF34537 HR RESULT: 0 x 80070BC9" and the installation bar seems to stop at "Publishing Product information", then rolls back the installation.
If you need more details, please tell me & Thanks in advanceCheckout this Microsoft article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976982
It has some resolution steps that may help.
Thank you for being a part of the Lenovo Family,
Catie

Installing windows 7 Home premium 64-bit, cannot complete installation
Hello,
I am currently trying to install a genuine windows 7 home premium copy on my iMac 27" using boot camp assistant 3.0.1 on a new partition. Partition is correctly made, installation proccess was smooth but when windows restarted to complete installation everything goes black. When I use safe mode it tells me that windows cannot complete installation on safe mode, and prompt me to reboot and start windows normally. The windows logo appears again but then everything goes black. I removed the partition and repartititoned the disk with boot camp, and tried installing again. Now it's been about half an hour and after the installation reboot, and the screen is black.
Any ideas?
thanks in advance.Sorry,
Is this an edu download ISO that you burned to DVD yourself, or retail copy?
No reason to redo partition, when / if you do boot 7 HP, you can always just do clean install, there is nothing wrong with the partitions.
There definitely are problems with 27" iMac and Windows 7 support, and BC 3.0 came out last... July actually, so almost a year, and before RTM (even though "frozen" W7 went through some major changes later).
The worst scenario is when BCA freezes or is killed, that can leave the entire drive and Mac OS inoperable (backups are imperative).
So if you burned the DVD yourself and used Disk Utility, reburn at reduced (2x) speed is all I can think of.
More problems await you AFTER 7 is installed and Apple Boot Camp drivers mess things up again!

Satellite M40: installing Windows 7 Home Premium
Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade my Satellite M40 (PSM40A-03K009) to Windows 7 Home Premium but towards the end of the installation, my notebook reboots and freezes up trying to start Windows 7.
I've rebooted in safe mode and it seems to be getting stuck loading \windows\system32\drivers\classpnp.sys.
I've tried everything I can think of: running start-up repair on installation disk, installing latest versions of drivers, updating BIOS, reformatting disk, etc but nothing seems to work.
Can anybody help?
Cheers
RobThanks for your thoughts.
You're both probably right about it being too old (although it does have a 2GHz processor & 2GB RAM) but I thought it worth a try as I have a spare copy of Windows 7 and much prefer it to XP (I have it running on my newer Toshiba laptop).
I'll try a couple more things then restore XP if I can'?t crack the problem.
Any idea what CLASSPNP.SYS is meant to be controlling? It seems to have something to do with SCSI controller but I don'?t think this pc has any SCSI devices.
Cheers, Rob

I recently downloaded Parallels 9 to my imack so I could install Windows 7 Home Premiumwith no problem and everthing is working fine, and I was thinking of Migrating the 2 2 and was wondering what benefits there would be and what happens when I do.
Windows 7 will peer down through the VM and remember what hardware the VM is installed on. Migrate the VM to different Mac hardware, and on first boot, Windows 7 will advise you that you are not using genuine Microsoft Windows. It will then treat you as though it believes you misappropriated it.

Windows 7 Home Premium problem creating new user account
I am unable to create a new user account on my Windows 7 Home Premium computer. I have 3 accounts on it already, two are adminstrators, and just trying to add a fourth one (standard user).
I go to User Accounts, click Create new account, give it a name, keep Standard user checked, and press Create Account. The account appears to get created and shows up on the User Accounts screen, though it shows that it is password protected already, even
though I didn't have an opportunity to give it a password yet. I can manage that new user account and delete the password, and it then shows up on User Accounts as not having a password.
When I try to log on as that user from the main logon screen, it prompts me for the password (if I have specified one), but it doesn't accept the password (I've tried defining and using various ones), and I get the message "The user name or password is incorrect".
If I don't define a password for that account, when I click on the account button to logon, I get that same error message immediately.
I also noticed that C:\Users doesn't include the new user account folder there. Don't know if that should've been created at this point before logging on for the first time. I also noticed that there's a "Default User" folder that has a lock on the folder
icon, and I'm not able to open that folder (says it's invalid). There is a "Default" folder there with some content in it and I am able to view it. Don't know if either of these folders act as templates for new users.
At some point months ago I did have a profile problem with one of the existing accounts, and had to follow some suggestions on repairing that user profile. Don't know if that perhaps has complicated things. The 3 existing user accounts are working fine.
Any tips on what I can try to get a new account established?
Thanks, Chuck

I agree with the same problem and the answer below did not work either. I tried changing permissions to Users directory and that did not work either. I even tried creating the directory name of user I wanted to install and that was recognized and
being used, but will not start a user directory for new user. -
HT1899 Can I use WIndows 7 Home Premium 64-bit on my iMac?
I'm wondering if I can install Windows 7 64-bit on my mid-2007 iMac running 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). The Apple help articles are worded a bit confusingly, so I wanted to make sure it can before I purchase it.
What is confusing? Apple says yours is on the list of not supported for 64-bit, right?
So booting the Windows 7 DVD is an issue. 32-bit is possible but limited.
Running Windows in a VM is a piece of cake though.
