Install win 8.1 on Helix with format old partition

Hello All.
I decidedinstall new Win 8.1 from USB disk and formatted partition with old 8.0, when install 8.1 on established patrtion. Everything was established, but now when i try to activate Windows - see error 0x8007007b (The filename, directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect). how to activate now or return factory settings?
Help me ))))

I don't think you can use the embedded UEFI key to activate Windows 8.1. If you have a key from volume licensing, MSDN or something like that you can use that one.
I would recommend installing Windows 8.0 first, updating all the drivers and then updating to Windows 8.1. I had all sorts of issues when installing 8.1 directly on the Helix.

    When I installed CC 2014, I ended up with the old and new applications. When I uninstall the old one, it takes out the new one too. Suggestions?

  • Trying to install Win 7 on MacBook Pro with OSx 10.9.3 and computer does not recognize install dvd

    I'm using a 2009 MacBook Pro running Mavericks 10.9.3 and I am trying to install Win 7 using BootCamp 5. I've been able to install BootCamp before using the original Win7 install dvd on this computer but ever since I updated it (not sure how many time, its been a year or so since I last used BootCamp) and started using BootCamp 5 its been giving me problems reading the DvD. I know my internal DvD reader works because I've imported music recently but whenever I get into the very first step of BootCamp 5 (Download Support and Install Windows option screen) I click next with only install windows option checked and it tells me to wait for the DvD to be recognized when its already in. However it does come up with the option later to open with/eject the "blank DvD" which is the Win install DvD. Any ideas on how to get around this issue?

    My suggestion would be to reinstall Lion from zero. No update.
    I did that, and now I can install / uninstall Air without problems.

  • Help - How to install Win XP in dual boot with Win 7 (first installed)?

    Hi everybody!
    I'm having some difficult in install a win xp in dual boot with win 7 (which came with the G550 notebook).
    I modified the D: (Lenovo) partition to a primary partition to install the XP.  Also I installed the EasyBCD to manange the boots and both S.O. load fine. 
    The problem is that Win XP is seeing a partition (the first partition on disk) with 200MB that is hidden for Win 7 !   So this partition takes the C: letter in XP and mess all the configuration once that many programs uses the C: as a default letter. 
    The disk is divided in (aprox):
    200 MB hidden partition (from factory)
    160GB with Win 7 installed
    40GB with Win XP installed
    19GB hidden partition (Recovery - from factory)
    Is anyone has some idea who to solve this problem or make install XP from the beginning without problems?
    Thank a lot!

  • How to install Win 7 on Lenovo V570 with Freedos

    Hello
    I just got a new lenove V570 with Freedos and would like to install Windows 7 professional.
    When I try to install Windows 7 64 bit, I get the error: The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows can only be installed to GPT disks?.
    It is really frustrating. Does anybody have an idea how to solve this problem please?
    Thank you very much for your in advance
    Geri
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Good evening together
    @yigit, thank you for your fast response and the hints!
    Now I have managed to install Windows 7 pro.
    Attached the steps (as I can remember) that worked for me (without any warranty)
    1.) Boot with MS Windows 7 installation CD
    2.) Select country, keyboard settings etc.
    3.) Accept license agreement
    4.) Press proceed until the dialog with the installation volume appears (This is the place as MS Windows tells you:  The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows can only be installed to GPT disks...
    5.) Delete volumes but not the one of lenovo!
    6.) Press SHIFT + F10
    7.) Enter diskpart (This is the MS-Windows partition tool - diskpart.efi
    8.) Enter List => Now you will see the disks. In my case Disk 0 was the one
    9.) Enter SELECT Disk 0
    10.) Enter List => Now you will see the partitions
    11.) Enter Delete Partition x (x is the partition with the MBR)
    12.) Enter create partition  (Now a dialog should appear asking you how much space you want to reserve for your partition
    13.) E.g.. Enter 200 (200 GB
    14.) Enter List partition (Now you should see the new Partition)
    15.) enter Exit two times (Once for exiting diskpart, the other for coming back to the installation screen
    16.) Proceed with you windows installation by selecting the new partition for your system
    Selecting the right partition it was not necessary to delete the pre-installed data from lenovo!
    I think this procedure should also work with a raw disk.
    As Yigit outlined, please check also this link. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/297800
    I tried it but I am not sure if it is necessary on lenovo systems
    I hope that helps,
    best regards

  • My plan on installing Win 7 on new T500 with XP installed.

    I have a T500 2082 on order.  It comes with XP Pro installed. I have a full Windows 7 that I intend to install.
    Here is my initial plan:
    Do the BIOS upgrade v3.11/3.10 dated 27 Nov 2009.
    Copy the C:\SWTOOLS folder to other media for drivers etc.
    Install Windows 7 -- maybe 64-bit. Probably a fresh install.
    Let Windows 7 choose drivers.
    Install ThinkVantage System Update 4.0, and let that get the appropriate Lenovo drivers. I will have another computer to download drivers from the website if the need arises.
    Install ThinkVantage System Update 4.0, and let that get the appropriate Lenovo drivers.I will have another computer to download drivers from the website if the need arises.
    If something does not work, remove the existing driver, reboot, and provide the Lenovo driver when Windows 7 finds the hardware.
    I am concerned that I will lose extra applications, such as the ability to play DVD movies. Will I find installation for those extras in the C:\SWTOOLS folder?
    Comments, suggestions? Is there maybe a FAQ that I have missed?This ThinkPad is for personal use rather than business.
    Thanks.

    Copying the C:/SWTools doesn't help that much. Most likely the original stuff is in the S: and Q: drives. What you need to do is to invest in 3 DVD Roms and do a creation of recovery disc. Almost every other lenovo user don't do that on their first bootup and then they messed up the system and can't recover.
    @The OP: if you want the DVD player, you wil have to copy it from SWTOOLS.  That's where the installer is.  AFAIK, you can't browse the recovery images to get it.  You can download the update from the Lenovo site but it won't install unless you install the original version first.
    OTOH, by all means, make the XP recovery media before touching anything else.  That should be printed in RED on the outside of the box the laptops come in.
    Generally your approach makes sense to me.  That's how I migrated my T400 from Vista to 7 64 bit.  If you have switchable graphics, be prepared to see your battery runtime go way down until they fix the drivers:  Battery Life Decrease In Windows 7

  • Am I able to install Windows 7 in Boot Camp with this HDD partition setup?

    I recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion, and my Boot Camp partition was obliterated beyond recognition. Fortunately I have backups, but I'm having issues re-installing Windows 7. This is what my disk looks like:
    Mac OSX - Current Lion partition
    Untitled - Where Boot Camp / Windows 7 used to live...
    Shared - 1TB of shared data... Media/Documents/etc
    This is the error I get when trying to install Windows 7 with Boot Camp Assistant...
    From what I can tell, this means I won't be able to do it without wiping the Shared partition? Or is there a workaround I can use? I'd really hate to have to move all of it over to an external hard drive, since I don't have one with 750GB of free space handy...
    And would this probably happen again once Mountain Lion comes out? I'll be getting that pretty much on launch, so should I hold off on messing around with this if I'll likely have to do it all again in a few weeks?
    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!
    - Mark

    Why don't you invest in a 1.5TB drive and case? And add to that a TimeMachine drive (and a small 40GB or even less "Emergency OS X" partition on it... a must - could even have clone of Lion and Lion Recovery on it, AND  TimeMachine partition.
    If you don't have a backup, it almost always will "rain" on the parade.
    If you try booting from Windows 7 DVD and aim it at the parittion, what happens? tried?
    To use BCA yes it is one partition and one way only.
    You could remove " - " the UNTITLED volume and then expand Mac OS volume to fill that area, or plan for and setup Lion Recovery space too.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
    People have managed. Usually planning ahead up front for a setup like this.
    CLONE OS X and ~ or install Lion on an external drive and create a Lion Recovery partition.

  • Can't print web sites with the epson printer just installed. It wants to print with the old HP printer

    I just installed a new printer, an Epson Stylus NX 420. The old printer is A HP photosmart 4580. I can not print with the new printer. If I want to print an e-mail it keep referring to the old printer.Same thing with an article of the web. I am able to print when I use the internet explorer browser.Please tell me what to do to make this work. Thanks

    Tech guy is probably correct. We don't usually see reports about trouble with Epson printers, but ID is not the best behaved application when it comes to printing. The usual workaround is to export to PDF and print that instead.

    MacBook Pro 8,1 – Intel Core i5 – 2.23 GHz (early 2011) New with OSX 10.6 – current on all updates.
    I successfully installed rEFit. I used Boot Camp to install Win 7.  All was great.
    Then installed debian 6.  Somehow after the debian install and restart (I know this sounds crazy) but I am now reduced to Win 7 only. rEFit is not present when rebooting nor is OSX or debian. Further, I am unable to force the install DVD to launch when rebooting, by holding C, D or F8.  The Option key brings me to the grey screen with a padlock. I have attempted the root and local pw- no go. Restart holding D takes me to the windows boot manager. I have attempted several options within the Advanced Options; including – Repair Your computer, safe mode and “last known good config,” All of which did nothing.
    I can see all my OSX files within win7. I tried to install the OSX within windows. Ya right, that did nothing..
    I only desire to get back to OSX...
    What are my options??

    Yes, you royally hosed up your machine.
    You should first try to get your files off, any way you can to a external drive.
    Your going to need to hold c and boot from the disk that came with your computer and a couple of screens in under the menu is a option for Disk Utility.
    Select your drive and Erase with Security Option Zero, format the drive HFS+ Journaled and when that's finished (about a hour or so) then quit and install OS X from the installer.
    I hope this works, but I suspect it won't. Others have hosed their machines trying to use a Linux disk without proper partition formatting too.
    Another option might be to use another Mac to c boot off the Snow Leopard disk and install OS X onto a external drive, take that to the problem Mac and try holding option and booting off of it to erase your internal drive.
    You could replace the drive.

     The Option key brings me to the grey screen with a padlock.
    Is this holding option while booting?
    There was someone else around here who hosed their Mac with a Linux disk too. Try to find it.

  • Problems with installing Win 2000 on MS6380

    Hello,
    I have a problem with installing Win 2000 SP 2 on a PC assembled with a MS 6380 (Kt 266 pro) mainboard.
    The setup starts but the system blocks just after the boot, when showing the message "Detecting Hardware configuration" .
    The configuration is the following:
    Athlon TB 800
    MS 6380
    128 MB DDR
    Matrox G200
    20 Gb Quantum Fireball CX HDD
    Intel Ethernet card 100 pro + S
    I tried to update the Bios to the latest version (1.90) and set the most conservative settings on the RAM timings. I have disabled ACPI, too.
    Could someone please help me with solving this problem?
    Thanks

    You have format the BootCamp partition during the Windows installation, since OSX can only do a preformat using FAT32 (MS-DOS) and Windows 7 needs NTFS as file system.

  • Installing Win 7 Pro as VM on Macbook Pro with 128G SSD

    Hi there,
    I've been searching for some good tips about installing Win 7 Pro as a VM on my new Macbook Pro (4GB i7 version) with a 128 SSD.
    Here is what I have and need to achieve:
    I have  Parallel 6 to set up the VM;
    Win 7 Pro 32-bit or 64-bit.
    Needs: I only plan to use the Win 7 VM for these:
    1. Run MS Office 2010 Pro Plus -- For compatibility reasons, I just have to use the Window's version of Office, Office 2011 for Mac is not an option for me;
    2. I use video conference a lot, so I need to be able to control the built-in Webcam and Mic of my Macbook Pro from the Windows side, any speical driver I need?
    3. I need to share some files between Mac and Win, but I guess the VM works fine for this kind of task.
    3. As you can see, I only have limited hard drive space, any foreseeable issue with what I need to install?
    Any tip is much appreicated!

  • Can't install Win 7 from USB with Boot Camp - please help

    Hi,
    I'm going crazy trying to install Win 7 from a USB using Boot Camp.
    I've got a 13" MacBook (Aluminum) with 6GB RAM (trying to get to 8GB, but that's a different issue), 500GB HDD, running 10.7.4.
    In the Boot Camp Assistant I want to partition 60GB for the Win 7 drive, but when I click install I get the error: "The installer disc could not be found.  Insert your Windows installer disc and wait a few seconds for it to be recognized."  However, the USB drive that I used Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool in Win XP to create is plugged in.  I also have the .iso file on my Mac desktop.
    Googling hasn't produced any solution that I can work - most seem to be using Boot Camp assistant 3.0, and I've got 4.0.3 running.
    I'd appreciate help, particularly step-by-step instructions that I could follow.
    Thanks in advance.

    Lion has been out and most threads here deal with 10.7. and BCA 4.0.x
    There are problems with burning ISO to DVD etc at anything other than slowest burn speed (2x)
    New 2012 models don't have an internal DVD but if you do, then yours does not support a USB-DVD.
    So you are running XP now and have Windows XP partition? knowing that the update will need 40GB and that Lion does not support XP.
    Look at the other posts I made this morning for some of the FAQ Boot Camp support links.
