Does Z97 XPOWER AC support windows

I am being very serious when I ask this question because I need to know if I have to rma this board or not.
The reason I ask is because
1) all USB ports recognized/usable in BIOS
2) all USB ports recognized/usable in Linux
3) no USB ports recognized/usable by Windows
I have tried and tried for 4 days to get this to work. My previous Linux/Windows dual boot installation got trashed during this exercise. So I have reinstalled Linux with no problem.
I cannot install Windows. There is no keyboard during installation. I can get past that using the mouse (which is only available on 6 of the 12 USB ports), however I cannot get past the configuration because that requires me to type in formation, such as user names, passwords, etc!
Now I expected to have problems with Linux due to the fact no manufacturer supports Linux, MSI included but I certainly did not expect to have problems with Windows.
Sorry but this mobo cost me a fortune and I do not have the time to keep dragging my face down a cheese grater trying to debug this mobo for MSI.
I have flashed the latest BIOS (1.5) but that has not helped and laughably states I have to update the Intel ME drivers in Windows. That would be the os that II cannot install.
Yet again, I feel relaxed and happy with Linux and completely frustrated and pizzed off with Windows.
So unless someone here can tell me that this mobo does support Windows and gives clear easy instructions as to how I turn this Windows paper weight in to a dam good mobo (just like Linux thinks it is), I will have no choice but rma for a refund.

I recommend creating new usb install media using rufus and use GPT partition scheme for uefi computer from fresh windows ISO.
Thank you
So my crazy question worked. It enticed you to read my post, laugh yourself silly before posting a solution that seems to be out of the box for everyone else I spoke to.
The reason I doubted your suggestion was because I have done countless installations of these disks but always legacy. I recently did a 5 system install that was UEFI but a quick chat with my friend reminded me that we used the clients CDs to crash through all 5 at the same time. So I downloaded a Windows 7 installation iso from the digital river site, burnt it to the USB and tried for the last time out of interest.
I now have a system that supports both Linux and Windows.
I have not yet installed all drivers, applications, etc but have every confidence that there will be no further problems.
I am going to really enjoy emailing the supplier to cancel the rma.
I cannot thank you enough mate

  • Re: Does Satellite A300-15B support Windows XP?

    Does Satellite A300-15B support 'windows xp?
    thanks

    I checked the Toshiba European driver page and didnt find Win XP 64bit drivers for ANY Toshiba series.
    I think the Windows XP 64bit drivers will be not released.
    Fact is that Windows XP 64bit was not so popular like Win XP 32bit or Vista 64bit OS
    Secondly the Win XP 64bit is a discontinued OS so unfortunately, I would not wait for Win XP 64bit drivers

  • Does Satellite A105-S4284 support Windows Vista?

    Does A105-S4284 support windows vista? or the drivers are not ready yet? it's vista capable PC i know, but many times i tried installing vista RC1 and it hangs up in the middle of teh installation :( plz help me.
    Thanks,

    If its a vista capable notebook then I dont see any reasons why the notebook should not support Windows Vista.
    Its a fact that at this time no Vista drivers are available on the Toshiba page. (I dont found any)
    I assume we will be able to download the drivers in the next couple of weeks.
    PS: I have installed the RC2 version on my unit and it works without any additional drivers. Only the WLan card does not work but I can live with them

  • Does a multiple language supported Windows Phone 8 Application support Bengali Language (Bangladeshi language)?

    Hello,
    I am developing  a Windows Phone 8 application (for Nokia/ Microsoft Lumia) where multiple languages will be supported. Now, it is needed to support Bengali (Bangladeshi language) in my Windows phone 8 application.
    But, I didn't find Bengali language in the Setting -> Language -> phone Language. So could anyone tell me that a multiple language supported windows phone 8 application support Bengali language or not. If it is possible, then how user will change
    the app language from phone setting?
    FYI .. From Microsoft OEM documentation, I have known that Windows Phone 8.1 GDR2 includes support for Bangla (Bangladesh language). 
    Thanks

    Hi NONAME-2007,
    As far as I known the Bangla language is supported as a on-screen keyboard language on the Windows Phone 8. But it is not supported as a display language in Windows Phone 8, so you can not choose this language from the phone setting. For more information,
    please try to refer to the following article:

  • Does GRC 5.3 support Windows 2008?

    Dear Experts:
    We currently have GRC 5.3 running on Windows 2003 Servers (64bit). They are running fine without any issues. But we are in the process upgrading the servers from Windows 2003 to 2008. I tried to find out if Windows 2008 is supported in GRC 5.3, but in the SAP market place product availability matrix (PAM), only show what browser it will support. No indication for Windows server side. From the installation guide of GRC 5.3, it only listed WIndows 2003, NO 2008 mentioned.
    Where I can find the right information on if GRC 5.3 can run on Windows 2008 or not? Are any of you upgraded from 2003 to 2008 for GRC server? Any issues need be aware of?
    Thanks,
    Yujun Ran

    Hi Yujun,
    Since GRC relies on the underlying NetWeaver OS PAM, you can install on Windows 2008 Server, if you are successful in installing your Netweaver 7.0. My recommendation would be to look at the compability of database and other supported add-ons too before you actually go with Windows 2008.

  • Does OEM 2.1 support windows 2000 profesional

    Hi!
    I tried to install and configure oem 2.1 on windows 2000 profesional. so please let me know it's support oem for windows 2000 profesional.
    Thanks,
    Arvind

    Hi,
    yes this are the release notes of OVS 2.2.2. However I can remember that they looked the same for OVS 2.2.1.
    PS: If you look in the server user guide under "What's new", you won't find a new entry for Windows 7 with 2.2.2 - which implies it has been supported before.
    If you want to be 100% sure, upgrade to OVS 2.2.2.
    No - it only means you are not using xvd* devices but hd* / sd* devices. Which is also valid.
    However using xvd* devices (together with the PV drivers) is better for performance (I/O-Performance).

  • Does my macbook support windows 8.1 on bootcamp?

    Hi guys, I've been super frustrated while trying to install Windows 8.1 on my macbook.
    I have a mid 2010 15" macbook pro and a windows 8.1 64 install disk.
    I've been successfully partitioning bootcamp but when it restarts and goes to the window set up, it's stuck on a blue windows page with a black background and noting happens.
    I am running OS X Maverick with all the software updated.
    Any help here?
    Or does my macbook not support windows 8.1?

    Here are the official Apple support pages for this.
    Your mac does support windows 8.1.
    Boot Camp: Windows installation boots to black screen with blinking cursor
    Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems
    Disconnect all your usb peripherals and reboot
    Hope this helps out.

  • Acrobat 9 pro support windows server 2003 32bit?

    in the acrobat 9 pro readme file,I see the system requiement:
    Windows Server® 2003 (with Service Pack 2 for 64-bit);
    my question is that does acrobat 9 pro support windows server 2003 32 bit?
    I have install it at windows server 2003 32bit,
    but when i open it, a message box
    "Licensing for this product has stopped working"
    i have try the solution in kb405970, and can not resolve it.
    so manybe really it doesn't support windows server 2003 32 bit?

    John makes some very good points but I would like to clarify one thing from his post: you are planning three migrations:
    1. From 32bit -> 64bit
    2. From Windows to Linux
    3. From Oracle 10gR2 to 11gR2
    The second of these is the one most liekly to give you grief. You certainly should not attempt to combine it with a database upgrade. Either move the database to RHEL and then upgrade it, or upgrade it on Windows and then move it to the new server.
    Of these, the first is the least controversial. So it's a nice point whether it is worth upgrading from Windows 32bit to Windows 64bit prior to moving to Linux.
    Cheers, APC

  • Does Photoshop CC not support touch on Windows 8.1 tablet?

    Does Photoshop CC not support touch on Windows 8.1 tablet? Stylus nor finger working on canvas. Have all the updates from Windows and Adobe.

    Photoshop does not have touch support. however some touch devices drivers have features the can be set to Photoshop Functions. For example
    Tablets that have drivers that use Wintab API for pen support can be used with Photoshop Brush Pen support.  Tablets that use Microsoft Ink API for pen support can not be used with Photoshop for Adobe does not have support for Microsoft INK API for Adobe states the INK  API lack features used by Photoshop Brush engine.
