Hi
its up to you.. you can first install your drivers of your OS then install whatever software you want to install..
if you will install your drives for hardware some of the software will not create any issue to install..
Hope it helps!

Power on the computer and insert the DVD immediately.

After selecting the appropriate language, if necessary, select Utilities, and Disk Utility.
You'll likely need to partition and format the new drive before it's recognized.

SPECS FOR NEW MBP HARD DRIVE AND HOW TO INSTALL NEW OS AND USE TIME MACHINE

I need to replace the hard drive in my early-2006 1.83 MacBook Pro (15-inch), because the Genius at the Apple Store told me that I'm getting weird behavior on it due to the drive slowing down and that it won't last much longer.
I have 2 questions:
First, I want to order the drive online and have it installed locally. I will probably get a 320 to 500GB drive. What are the exact other specs I will need to find the right one?
Second, I am currently running 10.5.8 and backing up with Time Machine. I would like to install 10. 6 on the new drive, but don't know how to go about using the Time Machine backup to get all my apps and files running. Can someone describe this procedure for me?
Many thanks!

Hi Annie,
You need a 2.5" 9.5mm high SATA HD, either 5400 or 7200RPM. Check out macsales, newegg, amazon to name a few places.
How to restore from a TM backup: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427
Prepare your HD by formatting and partitioning it:
1. Boot from install disc (press power button, immediately insert install disc and hold down c key).
2. Select your language.
3. Open Disk Utility from Utilities menu.
4. Select the HD in the left pane (the manufacturer’s name and the HD model number).
5. Click on the Erase tab.
6. Choose the Format: Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
NOTE: if you want to zero the HD (which I always think is a good idea, but does take time), click on Security Options, click the button for Zero Out Data, click OK. The larger the HD, the longer this will take, in some cases several hours.
7. Click on Erase and wait for the entire process to finish.
8. Click the Partition tab.
9. Click on Volume Scheme: and choose the number of partitions (normally just one unless you have other plans).
10. Click on the Options button (located underneath the Volume Scheme pane) and select GUID.
11. Click Apply.
12. Quit Disk Utility and continue with the installation process to install OSX or run Restore from a TM backup; when finished, repair permissions, run updates, repair permissions.

Drive Partition causing issues after new hard drive and recovery disks installed

I have an HP Pavilion Media Center PC m7640n running Windows XP Media Center Edition.
My hard drive failed and I had a computer guy install a 1 TB Hard drive as well as additional memory. I purchased the recovery disks and he installed everything for me. I have two issues:
1. After updating to XP Service Pack 3 and all other Windows recommended upgrades the computer deleted all my drivers and would not "plug and play" install anything. I had the computer guy back to fix this--he did get all my drivers to work, but when I plug in anything new for the first time (such as my iPad), I have to go into the device manager and manually update the drivers. The computer doesn't recognize it and automatically prompt me to install it.
2. The hard drive partition defaulted to my C drive being very small and my D drive being large. Since software usually defaults to the C drive for installation, I quickly ran out of space. I had the computer guy back and he programmed something so that everything now defaults to the D drive. Unfortunately all my program files (including Microsoft Office) are still on my C drive including everything I put on my desktop. My C drive is now full.
Here is an example: iTunes shows that it is defaulting to the D drive for anything I load into it. Yet I tried to download the new operating system for my iPad and it said my hard drive was full. When I did a file search to see what files had changed in the last week, it shows iTunes on my C drive (and my D drive). Yet all the files that were "changed" due to my upgrade were defaulting to the C drive, even though in the setting in iTunes it shows it should be saving to the D drive.
D:\Documents and Settings\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media
Is there an easy way to fix these issues? I've already spent more than I anticipated when I chose to rebuild this computer vs buying a new one. Now I'm regretting the decision and I'd like to try and fix this myself and not pay my computer guy to come back at $90/hour.
Thanks!

Here are the original specs of your computer. The specs state that the original hard drive was 320GB. You have since replaced the factory drive with a 1TB (1000GB) hard drive. The HP recovery routine seems to have issues with hard drives that deviate from the original size. The partition issues you are experiencing may be a result of this. As for the rest of your issues, it sounds like the SP3 install went bad.
If I were you, I would consider reinstalling the OS using your recovery discs by doing a complete "destructive" reinstall/recovery. Afterward, I would post the size of both the c: and d: partitions... and go from there.

New hard drive and new memory install (Powerbook G4)

Hi everyone, I hope the community can help me through a rough patch! I tried searching through the forum but haven't found specific answers to my dilemma. Here's the deal: I've installed a new hard drive in a Powerbook G4, the original hard drive died.
I have the Leopard install retail disc, and want to install the OS on the new hard drive. I also have a RAM upgrade that I want to install. So, in order, here are my questions:
1) To install OS, do I just turn the computer on and insert the install disc? Or do I need to do some other command to do the install, such as holding a key(s) down when I insert the disc? Is there anything else I need to do to format the new hard drive properly?
2) Can I upgrade the RAM before I install the OS, or must I install OS first? And if I can install the RAM prior, will it help speed up the install process?
3) Finally, how long should the install process take? What screens should I expect seeing? Will I be staring at the spinning beach ball for a long time?
I look forward to any helpful feedback, thank you so much!

The weirdest thing is that the laptop's disc drive was accepting discs, and now it won't. I highly doubt that there's a hardware failure there, I certainly didn't abuse the computer during this process. Now when I try to push a disc in, it goes about 99% of the way in with just a hair sticking out, but I can't even force it totally in.
This suggests that you didn't quite get everything right when you reassembled the G4 after replacing the hard drive. Clearances are very tight & even just a grommet or support bracket slightly misaligned can prevent everything from fitting together properly. You don't say which Powerbook G4 model you have, but for example, note the number of detailed steps & items marked "important" in the PowerBook G4 (Gigabit Ethernet) Hard Drive Replacement Instructions & especially the comments below figure 16 about the optical drive.
Whatever the Powerbook model, I strongly suggest that you refer to a detailed take-apart & replacement guide for anything you might have overlooked -- many models have disassembly/assembly quirks that are not obvious, such as the order that screws need to be removed or replaced, when & where to use a "spudger" to unhook a hidden latch, & so on. A good source for these guides is iFixit's PowerBook pages. Click on your model, then find the guide for the hard drive replacement. These will generally be among the most detailed available, with plenty of pictures & all important screw length info -- it is very easy to get confused about where screws go that differ by only one or two mm.

New hard drive and cannot re-install Windows 7

RE: HP Pavillion DV7-4270us
Windows 7 64-bit
4MB Ram 640 GB Hard Drive
After receiving the S.M.A.R.T. warning about possible hard drive failure soon, I installed a Seagate 500GB hard drive. Next I began the recovery process by using my rescue discs. All that went fine.
Then the screen stated that after the pc restarts it will load all software and drivers. It will turn off and on several times and this will be normal. Please do not shut down pc.
Now is where my problem began. It never loaded the software and drivers even after running for 7.5 hours. I new this was extreme.
I just noticed on this forum someone else had a similar issue. The reply said to be aware and not to install a smaller hard drive than you originally had.
I am assuming this is my problem also. If anyone knows for sure, please let me know. I suppose I will install a 1TB hard drive, even though that is more than I will ever need.
Thank you!

Hi:
That could be the issue, or the recovery disks you made won't work--even on a 1 TB hard drive.
Rather than tossing money into a new HDD, if you can read the 25 character product key on the bottom of your notebook, you can make your own plain W7 x64 installation media, which will install on any size hard drive.
Here is how to do that...
Link to the W7 ISO file downloads is below. Download the applicable version of Windows 7 that is on your product key (Home Premium, Pro, or Ultimate). The SP1 Media Refresh files are the latest ISO files.
http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/14709-Windows-7-Digital-River-direct-links-Multiple-Languag...
Use the Windows 7 USB/DVD installation tool to compile the ISO file you download from Digital River. Link below. You need a DVD or a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB method of compilation.
Use the 25 character windows 7 product key to activate your installation.
http://download.cnet.com/Windows-7-USB-DVD-Download-Tool/3000-18513_4-10972600.html
Then go to the PC's support and driver page to install the drivers you need.
Before you try the above, see if making this CD patch works for the factory recovery disks.

Problem in audio driver and unable to install rescue and recovery ver 4.3 -

Dear community collegues,
I have installed original windows7 home premium in my lenovo N100 series 0768-54A model y'day. Though every thing went well, the AC97 audio driver could not be installed. Can any one provide me a solution to make the audio working in Windows7 Home Premium.
Similarly after new installation, I could not install rescue and recovery version 4.3 (windows7 compatible) in to the system, every attempt failed. Could any one provide a solution.
thanking You.
Sakthivelu V M Chennai

I am not sure which audio chipset your N100 has, so
Try this for sound:
Go to THIS web page.
Download Soundmax audio driver for Vista.
Extract the files by double clicking, and note where they
are being extracted to.
Uninstall any sound driver you have installed, reboot.
If windows says New Hardware Found, click cancel.
Go to folder where downloaded drivers were extracted,
and run Setup.
If Soudmax drivers do not work, uninstall and repeat
with the Realtek audio drivers.
I do not think Rescue/Recovery will work except for
the originally installed OS.

Pavilion Slimline DVD drives and eject wire...

I tried to replace the DVD drive on my Pavilion Slimline with an HP dvd1270i DVD drive. Had no problems installing it until I tried to plug the eject wire to a plug on the new DVD drive. Problem is, there's no plug on this drive to attach the eject wire to. The DVD drive that originally came with the Slimline does have this plug. Can someone recommend a DVD drive for the Slimline that does have a plug for the eject wire? Or is there a way to transfer the plug from the old drive to the new drive? Thanks in advance...

I have similar problem on my micro PC case from HP
CD rom tray has not mechanical device for ejecting media but electrical switch instead.
There is no chance to reach eject button on DVD ROM, because it's hidden under doors on the case.
And that {Content Removed: Language Filter Evasion}non standard HP connector for opening CD used on case is not compatible with any DVD ROM I can find in my local store including HP products.
And nobody knows anything about that.
