Does MC700 support Windows 8.1 Update (install via external DVD)

Hello,
I have problem with Windows 7 Pro X64 on Bootcamp so I want to re-install Windows with 8.1.
I removed old bootcamp, download lastest driver via Bootcamp assistant. Create new partition for Windows. Reboot and install via DVD external (that DVD get from that MC700). However I got black screen with blinking cursor.
I don't make sure does MC700 (early 2011) support install Windows via external DVD ?
Hope some ideas !
Thanks !

How did you delete old windows
How did you create the new partition
Are you using an external DVD drive? This won't work, you need to use the SuperDrive in your Mac

  • HP does not support Windows 8 Consumer Preview

    think those who ask questions on why this does not work, that does not work, no Win8 drivers or printers etc for WIN8 need to realize that this is only a consumer review release, not even a beta, you installed it at your own risk as Microsoft says.
    If you read the initial posted here by Walin within this forum it says: HP does not support Windows® 8 Consumer Preview...

  • My Mac OS X does not restart while trying to update/install

    My Mac OS X does not restart while trying to update/install iTunes. It allows me to click on Restart button, then just the screen saver shows up, waited 10 -15mins and nothing happens.  Had to force shut to try again, same thing happens.

    As a test, try opening the PDFs using Preview and see if they will print correctly from that application. If so, then it is likely an Acrobat problem. If they still don't print correctly, it is like a file problem.
    You can also try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.

  • I purchased Premiere Elements 13.  Elements does not support Windows Vista which is our operating system.  I have Elements 12 and never had this problem.

    I purchased Premiere Elements 13 & Elements does not support Windows Vista which is our operating system.  I have Elements 12 and never had this problem.  What are my options?  Do you have a compatible program for WinVista similar to Premiere Element?

  • Install Windows 8 on macbook pro with external dvd drive

    My superdrive have broken, anyone have experience installing windows 8 on macbook pro with external dvd drive?
    Last night, I tried but end of with black screen.

    Purchase new superdrive, takes 2-3 weeks for shipping at my city.
    It can't be done. If your computer has an internal optical drive, working or not, that is the drive you must use. Only computers such as the Macbook Pro Retina/Macbook Air that have no internal optical drive can install Windows from an external drive.

  • Attempting to install Solaris 10 on Netra t1 via external DVD-Rom

    Hello Experts,
    I am trying to install Solaris 10 on my Netra t1 via external DVD. I connected the DVD-ROM to the scsi port on the back. System recognized the DVD but does not allow me to boot from it. I have done many things without any success. Following are the details:
    System info:
    Netra t1 (UltraSPARC-IIi 440MHz), No Keyboard
    OpenBoot 3.10.25 ME, 1024 MB memory installed,
    Ran the scsi test and it doesn't report any issues:
    ok test scsi
    Probe-scsi-all shows the drive:
    ok probe-scsi-all
    /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/scsi@2
    Target 0

    Target 4
    Unit 0 Removable Read Only device TOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-M14011009
    devalias also shows as cdrom1:
    ok devalias

    ide-cdrom /pci@1f,0/pci@1/pci@1/ide@e/cdrom@2:f
    ide /pci@1f,0/pci@1/pci@1/ide@e
    I created devalias manually also with no help. Following is what I get when I try to boot from it:
    ok boot cdrom1
    Resetting ...
    Netra t1 (UltraSPARC-IIi 440MHz), No Keyboard
    OpenBoot 3.10.25 ME, 1024 MB memory installed,
    Executing last command: boot cdrom1
    Boot device: /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/scsi@2/disk@6,0:f File and args:
    Drive not ready
    Evaluating: boot cdrom1
    Can't open boot device
    I verified the DVD and it works just fine. I install the OS with the same DVD on Netra-440 system without any issues.
    Please tell me what am I missing here or doing wrong. Please help.

    Sun-worshiper,
    Thank you so much for pointing that out. I was loosing it.
    Just in case someone else runs into this type of issue:
    When you run probe-scsi-all please pay attention to the target. In order to boot from the DVD, I executed the following commands from the ok prompt:
    ok nvalias dvd /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/scsi@2/disk@4,0:f
    ok boot dvd

  • Windows 8.1 Update Install Deadline Extended

    Consumer users of Windows 8.1 now have until June 10 to install Microsoft’s operating system update.
    In early April, Microsoft released its Windows 8.1 Update and announced that users would have 30 days (until May 13) to install the new update or face losing future update support. Earlier this week, Microsoft announced that
    they were going to extend the deadline out another 30 days (until June 10) to ensure the safety of Windows 8.1 users. For organizations, the new deadline for companies to install the update is August 12.
    The update reflects a changed policy by Microsoft and while it doesn’t address user feedback request, it does include some new OS features. Applying the update sets a new “service baseline” for a machine and if the update isn’t installed on a Windows 8.1 machine
    by the deadline, then that machine will not receive any future updates from Microsoft.
    Bottom line: Time to update and install Microsoft’s Windows 8.1 update.

    Thanks for sharing the news here. Installing the latest update will help ensure Windows 8.1 users' safety, which is definitely important.

  • Does TCS2 Support Windows 7 64-bit PC?

    Hello,
    I have TCS2 installed on a Windows 7 64-bit computer. I also have all of the TCS2 and Windows 7 updates installed. When I try to generate a MS HTML Help project in RH, RH consistently crashes at the same point during the process. I used the "link" feature with a FM book and not "import" feature.
    Since then I've installed TCS2 on my Vista 32-bit computer at home and have been able to generate the CHM file I need. I've poured over the forum and also searching google looking for solutions and am now wondering if TCS2 just isn't supported on a Windows 7 64-bit machine. Can someone verify that for me? At this point I don't know if upgrading to TCS3 would even help because it would need to be installed on the same Windows 7 64-bit computer.
    Thank you for your help,
    Donna

    Hi Matt,
    Thank you for your reply. I appreciate your time. I did rebuild the RH project, 3 times actually. Each time RH crashed at the same point. The FM file had all the required resources (images referenced & cross references in place). I purposely used a very small FM book - only 1 chapter file.
    Today IT installed Windows 7 32-bit on my PC to see if that would help. It didn't. I wasn't able to update or generate in RH at all. The did receive an error message though that said the "import session" did not complete...something to that effect.
    So anyway, very very frustrating to say the least. I have another question. Does TCS v3.5 support a Windows 7 64-bit PC? The specs mention Windows 7, but I sure don't want to assume that includes 64-bit after the week I've had mucking with this.
    Thank you for your help. I really appreciate it.

  • Satellite Pro L10: sound card does not support Windows 7

    Hi

    I need update of sound card for Windows 7.
    The model of sound car is Conexant CX20468-31 AC97 Audio Sound Card.
    Please help me

    Hi buddy
    What to say first of all you will not get official drivers for this notebook for Win 7 or Vista.
    This notebook is oldie and I doubt the drivers will be released.
    Reading through this forum threads Ive noticed that most of the user use the Vista driver on Win 7 OS.
    Maybe you should google for the Conexant AC97 Vista driver and should try a Vista driver on Win 7
    Good luck

  • HT5634 Late 2013 Macbook Pro Retina only support Windows 7 (Trying to install 8.1)

    I have a 15 inch Macbook Pro Retina (Late 2013) trying to install Windows 8.1 (64-bit) via Boot Camp on USB with an ISO. Upon downloading Windows support software, I'm greeted with a pop-up that says: "This Mac only supports Windows 7, do you want to continue?" However, upon further investigation, according to Apple's website, it says my model is officially supported for Windows 8.1 What's going on here?
    Boot Camp: Version 5.1.2 (481)
    OSX Version: 10.9.2
    Thanks!

    I am new to the community as well but have been an apple genuis for a while.  The way I put windows on my mac (late 2012 pro) last year was I bought windows 7, and used bootcamp to install it.  I would have someone at best buy or a tech store do it for you though. If you dont want to pay $200 for windows 7, you can just buy an app called parallels (also at like a best buy) and use that.  I believe it is around $75 but not sure.  Hope this helps
