  • NB100 - How to install Windows 7 without CD drive

    Hi. I wondering if some one knows how to install Windows 7 whit out a CD player.
    I have an external HDD.
    Is it posibel to do a image on that one to boot from?

    I'm typing this on an NB100 (Upgraded to 2GB of RAM) running Windows 7 RC .
    Make sure to update your BIOS to the latest version (1.9 I think) and then you can mount the Windows 7 .iso as a virtual drive using Daemon Tools in XP and run it and do a clean install.
    Windows 7 will back up all your documents, music, videos etc in a folder called Windows.old and it will find all the new drivers you need all by itself (at least it did for me). If I remember correctly the only one I had to install again was the Bluetooth Stack.
    All the Toshiba drivers and manuals etc will still be on your hard drive too, I think they're all stored on a small separate partition, which I think is pretty neat.
    It took me a while cus I did as much research and reading up as I could beforehand but in the end it was really easy. Shouldn't take you more than an hour really.
    Windows 7 is also running pretty damn well too. The only problem I have is that sometimes the taskbar disappears after the screensaver has been running, but a friend of mine is having the same problem on his Samsung netbook.

  • How to install Windows 8 from flash drive

    So I want to install Windows 8 via a flash drive .  But I don't know how to do it because when I go through the bootcamp setup it asks for a disk. So is there some software to trick my computer into thinking that my flashdrive is actually a disk?

    Okay.  Is it possible—if I don't have a large enough DVD—to use multiple smaller DVDs to store it?
    The smallest DVD is large enough to hold the Windows installation iso.
    It will cost less than $1
    Here's a pack of 50, for $15.00

  • How to install Windows 7 64 bit driver for Canon i9100 Printer?

    When I try to install my Canon i9100 printer on my HP laptop running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, Windows cannot locate a driver.  Visiting the Canon website, I find an update module for the Windows driver.  Canon says the printer MUST be installed using Windows Updater before their driver update can be installed.  I have tried everything, but I cannot get Windows to find a driver.  Windows Updater says that my computer is Up To Date.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thank you,
    David

    Hi Honeycutt,
    The Windows 7 driver for your i9100 is only available from Microsoft through Windows Update.  Please try Microsoft's web page for assistance with troubleshooting this:

  • How to install windows without the cd drive?

    Hello,
    I have a 2009 iMac that I want to install Windows 7 on. I have both a Windows 7 iso and a Windows 7 DVD. However, my cd drive is a mess, and upon trying to install Windows 7 from the DVD, the installation failed miserably 3 times at expanding windows files 0%. From there it just freezes for more than an hour and then gives me an error.
    Now, my Bootcamp Assistant has an option to create a windows 7 install disk, but unfortunately it is greyed out.
    My question to you guys: Is it possible to install Windows 7 on the iMac without using the cd drive?
    I am using Lion, if that is helpful. Also, the Windows 7 DVD works fine, as I have already installed Windows on my 2011 iMac from it.
    Thanks!

    I'm in a similar situation. Attending an online university and I need to use Access. But of course, Microsoft doesn't make a Mac version. I can get Windows through the university discount program, but only as a downloadable .iso file and a verification key. My drive works fine, I just don't have an actual CD/DVD to put in there.

  • How to install windows on separate internal drive?

    Hello,
    I've been at this problem for a few days and need some help if anyone has a clue.
    I have a late 2008 macbook pro 15". I've taken out my optical drive to install a SSD so that I can run both the existing internal drive and SSD as a DIY Fusion Drive. I'm in need of Windows now and tried to partition the existing fusion drive like I would normally do to install bootcamp. This doesn't seem to work. I then unfused the fusion drive back to two separate hard drives with the OS X Yosemite on the SSD and I want to install Windows on the existing Hard Drive. I've created a bootable Windows USB through the Bootcamp Assistance, but when it comes time to install the Windows install menu does not pop up. I would get a blank black screen which then I would have to restart and boot up into my OS X. In the OS X I can see that a bootcamp drive has been created, but it doesn't show up when I hold Option during the reboot.
    If anyone knows what's going one, please let me know!
    Thank you!

    Rather easy enough to do. People install XP and Vista all the time on 2, 3rd or 4th drive in Mac Pro. I know Vista 64-bit on Mac Pro has best support for addressing RAM and drivers.

  • How to install Windows 8.1 without optical drive

    I just got a ZBook 14 which was preinstalled with Windows 7. I want to use Windows 8.1 Pro which was alsp delivered on DVDs in the packages. However, this machine does not come with an optical drive. How can I install Windows 8.1 on this machine?
    Thanks

    Excuse me for being blunt but that is simply b***hit. Windows 8.1 comes delivered with the machine which is brand new and  any reasonably new PC is fully capable of running Windows 8.x. The question was just how I was supposed to load it onto the machine as it lacks an optical drive.  I suggest you do not give advice unless you know what you are talking about.
    For all others thatwant to the same thing.
    1. Make a copy of the Windows 8.1 DVD that comes shipped with the machine. See the following guide http://www.intowindows.com/how-to-install-windows-7vista-from-usb-drive-detailed-100-working-guide/
    2. Set Boot mode in BIOS to UEFI instead of legacy BIOS.
    3. Boot from the USB stick and install Windows 8.1, wipe all existing partitions. Please note that this will effectively remove any possibility to revert to Windows 7 by using the recovery partition but since Windows 7 DVDs are also delivered you can use the same procedure as above to install that. I guess that boot mode in this case should be set to legacy instead of UEFI.
    Of course, you do the above at your own risk but it has worked successfully for me. You could copy the content of the Application and Driver Recovert DVD for Windows 8.1 to a USB stick as well and install that afterwards.

  • How to install Windows 7 from a USB drive!

    This is even easier than installing Windows XP from a USB drive, and will also reduce the time taken to install Windows 7, it took me about 15 minutes!
    The advice in the guide is also applicable to installing Vista.
    You need basically:
    a USB flash drive at least 4GB in size
    a Windows 7 DVD
    To sum up:
    Format your USB drive, with the NTFS filesystem
    Open Command Prompt as an administrator, and run the Bootsect.exe program off the Windows 7 CD to make the USB drive bootable
    Copy the contents of the Windows 7 DVD to the USB drive
    Restart your PC, press F11 (or whichever key it is) to access the Boot menu, and select your USB drive to boot from

    I have done this and it is simple.
    I cleaned and (re)formated an 8GB flash drive under Windows7 using diskpart.  I chose quick format and a fat filesystem.  It doesn't need to be ntfs.  I had diskpart mark the partition active.  I copied the DVD contents to the flash drive.  I also made a folder on it for motherboard drivers.
    After that, I booted the drive on a new machine.  Windows7 setup came up, and didn't find any hard drives, other than the USB flash drive.  I clicked the button to load drivers, and pointed it to the folder I had copied them to on the flash.  Windows installed without problems.
    Hi bnborg..Do u mind sharing with me your motherboard driver folder? I have the MSI U135DX Netbook and each time I hit the button to install Windows 7 it asks me for some mobo driver...Think i might need it to get tru with a successful install..

  • How to install Windows 8 on a blank HardDrive

    So hi again guys! I was wondering how to install windows 8 on a blank hardrive...
    Many of you will say just use bootcamp... I can't... I don't have enough space for windows 8...
    So I decided I will install it on a blank HardDrive...
    Can anyone give me How to guides? Please
    I need windows 8 because I want to play Windows based games (Smite, 8bit MMO and many more)
    Thanks in advance guys...

    Why don't you ask on a Windows forum about how to install Windows on an external drive? I think Windows 8 has a Windows to Go version. Boot Camp does not support installing Windows on an external drive. You could do this using a virtual machine like Parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox.
    But running Windows from an external drive will be extremely slow compared to an internal installation. I doubt you'll be happy with game performance.

  • How to install Windows on a SATA boot drive

    Here is how to install Windows XP on a SATA boot drive.  This procedure was first developed by syar2003 and has been used by many iusers ncluding myself.   Although it was originally developed for Neo2 mb's and Windows XP Pro, it has general applicability to systems as well.
    1.  Have only the SATA drive you want to be the boot drive active in your system.  Disconnect the power to all other HDD's if any.
    2.  Have only one optical drive active. Disconnect the power to the other opticals if any. (Best to have a burner optical as master on IDE1.)
    3.  Plug SATA drive into SATA 1 on the mb.  (it may show us as an IDE drive somewhere down the list in BIOS.  That's okl)
    4.  Enable appropriate SATA options in BIOS.  Set boot order to floppy, cd, SATA drive.  Set boot priority to SATA drive.
    5.  Partition and format the SATA HDD using the utilites CD that came with the SATA drive.  (If you don't have an HDD utilities disk, download one from the website of your HDD manufacturer.)
    6.  Run Windows  setup.  No need to load drivers at the F6 promt unless you are planning to do a RAID configuration.
    7.  Windows XP should install without incident.
    8.  After you are up and running, plug the power back into your other HDD and optical drives if any.
    If you have a board older than the K8 series, it may be necessary to load the SATA drivers at the F6 prompt.  If the above procedure does not work, than try it again loading the SATA drivers.
    If this procedure does not work for you, it is likely that your particular SATA HDD has some compatablity problem with Windows setup and/or your motherboard.  The solution to this is to try another SATA drive.  In general, most failures using this procedure have been traced to certain WD, Seagate and Hitachi SATA drivers of smaller capacities.  Fewer problems seem to have occured with Maxtor HDD's.

    Kaplan, from an earlier post of mine regarding sata2 hdds - I have them plugged into the sata1&2 ports, installed the nvidia raid first and then installed winxp (in both raid 0 and raid 1).  My bios is 3.1 and its a known problem that bios 3.3 & 3.4 have nvidia raid problems but seems to be fixed in the beta bios 3.53:
    I just purchased 2 hitachi deskstar sata2 80gb hdds ($60 each at zzf) and the interesting thing about them is that you have to "enable" sata2.  I have been testing the performance of sata1, sata2, raid1 and raid0 and the results are below.   
    The drives themselves are factory default set at sata1. Since I purchased OEM, no software or instructions were included.  I had to go to the hitachi website download section to download a dos based program (the features program) to enable sata2.  After enabling the hdds to sata2, they were recognized in winxp in the nforce ADMA controller device driver and the screen reads with the primary channel as Serial ATA Generation 2 - 3G...and all 4 boxes below it are checked (the boxes enable bios select xfer mode, enable read caching, enable write caching and enable command queuing are checked).  An interesting thing about the sata2 spec is that all sata2 hdds must come standard with NCQ...its not advertised on these 80 gb hdds on the hitachi website (unlike the larger hitachi sata2 hdds) but its a standard sata2 spec and these 80gb hitachi hdds are recoginized in winxp as sata2.
    The other interesting feature about the hitachi sata2 hdds is setting them up to operate in an adjustable "performance" to "silence" mode.  The hdds are default set at high perfromance but you can manually lower the performance to increase the silence of the hdds which is fully adjustable to your liking.  I tested the highest silence/lowest performance setting and you cannot hear the hard drive at all. 
    Testing - I tested the 2 hitachi sata2 deskstars with the first result in sata1 mode, the second in sata2 mode, the third in raid1 mode and the fourth in raid0 mode.
    First, a significant increase in raid0 over sata1, sata2 and raid1 with sequential reads and writes (PC Wizard).
    Write: 28mb/s vs 29mb/s vs 27mb/s vs 53mb/s
    Read: 45mb/s vs 46mb/s vs 43mb/s vs 83mb/s
    Second, significant increase in sata 2, raid 1 & raid 0 over sata1 with buffered reads and writes (PC Wizard).
    Write: 104mb/s vs 176mb/s vs 165mb/s vs 266mb/s
    Read: 123mb/s vs 200mb/s vs 200mb/s vs 293mb/s
    Third, significant increase in sata 2, raid 1 & raid 0 over sata1 with burst reads (HD Tach).
    Burst Read: 133mb/s vs 225mb/s vs 219mb/s vs 334 mb/s
    It is interesting to note that raid1 is better than sata1 but marginally slower in all tests over sata2.  Raid0 is significantly faster on all tests.

    This is the best I can do. This way you can use the 2011 MBA way to do things.
    Look for the post from @jacktourist. (on page 2 about half way down) This seems to be the easiest.
    There are a couple of more similar to this with pictures I've seen around but can't remember where.

    Thousands have successfully tried it themselves and installed Windows on a Macbook Air. Perhaps if you provided some details about what you did and what errors you observed we could help you. The Boot Camp instaructions, if followed, will produce a successful install.

  • How to install Windows 8.1 on an iMac without using a disk drive?

    I have very recently bought a brand new iMac (27-inch, Late 2013) and am wondering if there is a way of installing Windows 8.1 full version using Boot Camp without a disk drive?
    I need windows on my iMac in order to run a windows only compatible program.
    Please help, I need assistance ASAP. Thankyou.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If you only need Windows to run one program (and if this problem does not require the best GPU performance), I recommend you to install Windows in a virtual machine instead of using Boot Camp. With this, you will be able to run Windows without restarting your Mac and there will be no risks during the installation.
    To make a virtual machine, you can use an application like Parallels, VMware Fusion or VirtualBox. Then, you only need to get a ISO file of Windows 8.1 with a product key, so you can install it in a virtual machine.
    If you still want to install Windows with Boot Camp, you can install Windows from a USB drive (it is the only way in your iMac apart from using an external disc drive). To create the USB drive with Windows, you also need a ISO file of Windows 8.1. You have all the steps in this site > http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1636/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_ 10.8.pdf
