Installing Windows XP professional and F6 (3rd party SATA drivers)

Forgive me if this is answered somewhere. I found a posting that was close but not quite the same, or maybe it is. This is my first system I have put together so please excuse the newby status. I am Using the K8T Neo2 motherboard (Via Tech VT8237 SATA) and the AMD 64 bit 3500+ chip. I have hooked up 2 Seagate 120 Gb Serial ATA hard drives. Also have a Sony DVD r/w drive and a 3.5 " floppy and they all seem to show up in the setup menu.
When I try to install the operating system (Windows XP professional) and the bottom of the screen says, press F6 for third party SATA drivers I press F6 and it does nothing but continue to load windows files up to the point when it does not recognize a hard drive and I have to exit with F3. Can anyone help???????? What is the possible reason hitting F6 does nothing, I have rebooted and tried several times. I cannot get to the point to choose the third party SATA driver. This is getting very frustrating...... Any help would be great. Thanks.

Hm...this is kind of a longshot, but you're not using the "Logitech Elite" keyboard ( http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=23-126-114&depa=0 ), are you? This keyboard has an annoying feature called the "F-Lock" because Logitech decided to apply custom functions to the various F-buttons (an okay idea in and of itself), and then foolishly decided to set the custom functions as being the default behavior of the buttons, so that the only way pressing "F6" actually causes the F6 keystroke to be sent is if the F-lock is enabled (which is extremely stupid...the keys should send the normal F-commands with the lock off, and having the lock on should enable the custom commands). If you have this keyboard, then just enable the F-lock and try again and it should work.
...if you have some other keyboard, then the above suggestions are good...always mash the hell out of F-buttons, and if it's a USB keyboard that isn't working right, try a PS2 keyboard. You might also be able to affect things by enabling "USB Legacy" support in the BIOS, though take note that having this enabled may cause your system to become unbootable (until the setting is turned back off).

Macbook Pro installed windows 7 professional and no audio :(

i've serached for sulutions all around the web and nothing, i've recently installed windows 7 in my macbook pro(newones) for school matters and there's no audio :s
Things I tried:
install dirvers from cd included
install realtek drivers manually
reinstall windows 7

At this point, if you try installing driver again, try using Driver Sweeper 2.0 from Guru3D to sweep and delete drivers in addition to uninstalling. That can clean things up and help, but I am at a loss and just from reading seems mixed results on MBP as to which ones to use and work or not.
So do browse through today's posts. Though I am perplexed MacRumors couldn't help - seems mixed and the Mac Pro section sometimes more help than Windows on Mac. Though the MacBook area you tried also?

Error installing NI TPC Service on a 3rd party windows XPe Based Touch Panel

Hi,
First of all sorry for my English.
I'm having trouble when i try to install NI TPC SERVICE on a 3rd party Touch Panel that runs Windows XPe (Embedded).
I have tried lot of time. I'm installing the msi application for XPe from the folder "NI_TP_Service" of the Installation Path for LabVIEW 8.6 Touch Panel Module.
The installer file hungs after installing the service and just when it tries to initialize it and I get a Error Windows that says "Error 1920. Service 'NI TPC Service' (NITPCService) falied to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."
I'm logged as Administrator, and I don't know what to do.
If anyone know what can i do I'll be pleased in hearing the answer.
Regards

Hi AlexDarsigny,
You will need either the Touch Panel Module or the Datalogging and Supervisory Control Module (DSC). Either of these modules will allow you to deploy and install NI software to your touch panel. They also include many other features for developing those applications. You will also need a deployment license for any non-NI touch panel that you plan on deploying the applications to. The other software needed on the touch panel itself will include the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine and the NI TPC Service. The following link has some information on this:
http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371618H-01/lvxpe/tpc_install_tpc_srvc/
Once deployed, the program will run as a stand-alone application that can be started from the HMI itself. Of course this depends on the functionality you create within the application, just like you would for any standard LabVIEW application.

Did you download and install the Windows Support software? If you did, did you use the Boot Camp Control icon to set up the trackpad how you want it?

Cannot install Windows XP Professional on my MacBook Pro using Boot Camp.

Cannot install Windows XP Professional on my MacBook Pro using Boot Camp. When I get to the point of inserting the Windows disc and clicking 'Install' at the Boot Camp Assistant screen, it keeps telling me that it cannot find the Install Disc. The installation disc I am using is a new full install disc. I have tried to do the same thing using a Windows 7 disc with the same results. Does anyone have any answers. I am getting desperate!

Changed my windows to windows 7 professional and illustrator 8.0 won't setup

What do I have to do to get my laptop to setup my illustrator 8.0 since I changed to windows 7 professional? It says it can't set it up.

Jimmy,
You should be able to install and run AI8 in Windows 7 professional (and 8,1 for that matter).
You will probably need to run the computer in XP mode to install. Here is how:
Install and use Windows XP Mode in Windows 7
To run AI8, you should be able to just run the computer normally and to specify that AI8 is to run in (XP) Compatibility maode, as follows:
1) RightClick the shortcut;
2) Click Properties;
3) Click Compatibility;
4) Tick Run this program in Compatibility mode for, then select XP in the dropdown list;
5) Start AI9.
Otherwise, search for Compatibility in the Windows Help and follow the instructions there.

How can I partition internal HDD after installing Windows 7 Professional via Boot Camp 4.0?

I recently purchased MacBook Pro 13" (Late 2011) model with OS X v10.7.2 Lion installed. I've upgraded to OS X v10.7.3 Lion and updated all other software.
I require Windows 7 for some Windows based softwares that do not support Mac OS X. Therefore, used Boot Camp 4.0 to install Windows 7 and then tried partitioning single internal HDD to have 3 partitions (4 total including BOOTCAMP partition). Disk Utility created a 648.5MB partition and then I was able to create 3 other partitions of custom sizes. After applying these changes, I got an error message that said selected volume size is too small. I resized this 648.5MB partion to a custom size and had total 4 partitions, including BOOTCAMP.
After reapplying these changes, BOOTCAMP partition was removed and I was left with only 3 partitions and empty space.
I've tried several different ways to partition the disk, all in vein. Is there a way I can partition my single internal HDD after installing Windows 7 Professional via Boot Camp 4.0?

You can't do what you want with GUI utilities, which will only allow a total of 4 partitions due to the limitation of MBR needed to support Windows. Those four partitions: EFI System (hidden), Mac OS, Recovery HD (hidden), Windows. So with Lion, you only get two visible partitions if you're going to use Windows with BootCamp. You can't make anymore with the included graphical tools.
If you need more partitions you'll need to use something like GPT fdisk (gdisk) to create the partitions in the GPT first. Then add the Windows partition only to the MBR and flag it as bootable. gdisk can be googled and downloaded for Mac OS X off sourceforge. It is not a GUI tool.

I'm trying to install Windows 7 Professional From Authentic Discs.

I'm trying to install Windows 7 Professional From Authentic Discs. I'm using BootCamp 3.0 on my Mac. I see there is a BootCamp 3.2 for Windows 64-bit, but it downloads an .exe that doesn't run on my Mac. Question - will Bootcamp 3.0 install Windows 7 Professional or do I need to upgrade to 3.2? It seems like the 3.2 download is for a Windows based machine. How do I get it so that Bootcamp on my Mac (Macbook Pro 17" 2009) recognizes and lets me install Windows 64 Pro?

Only one small thing I can think of, so let me run this by you:
You have genuine discs, but does any of these have the word "UPGRADE" block-printed on them?
If so, BCA might be balking at this alone. These discs also have a different internal label than "full packaged product" copies. As such, Apple does not endorse their use unless upgrading a live installation.
Nevertheless, you should still be able to boot from an upgrade medium as from a full product; the difference being that the upgrade will face an additional test on the Product Key to verify that it was used on a machine that had Windows already. For now, the test cares nothing about whether the upgrade was over Vista or the same/lower tier of 7, so you can install your upgrade once without a key, and then once more entering the key you received.
That said, hold the C key with the disc inserted in your SuperDrive. snd continue holding C until you get flashed by a black screen in the act of starting Windows. Let go of said key, and press on through the install. You may also need the Mac boot menu, accessible with the Option key at startup, to get back to Windows after rebooting each of 3 times.
When Windows asks for the Product Key, don't enter it yet. Also, do not allow Windows to activate online automatically. Do nothing but set up your user account(s) at this time.
Run Setup once more, this time from within the installed Windows, and choose to upgrade. It'll take quite a bit longer, but on this run, you can enter your key. Set up the Boot Camp software next; and finally, complete activation.
Good luck,
Nate

Lion Bootcamp won't install Windows 7 Professional

I have a fresh install of Lion on my iMac and have been trying to install Windows 7 Professional using Bootcamp 4.0. Here's what I've done.
1) Loaded bootcamp and followed the instructions to partition the drive. Split the 500GB drive so the Mac would have approximately 300GB and Win7 would have 200GB. Then bootcamp asked me to insert my Win7 disk which I did and click "Install now". I did so and it rebooted. Upon rebooting my iMac says "No bootable device. Insert boot disk and press any key". However, the Win7 install disk is already in the drive.
After reading on forums I've tried the following but still to no avail.
2) I reboot the computer while holding down the "C" key. Occassionally when I do this the Installation will start and I make it to the Windows activation screen where it asks where I want to install the OS. I select "advanced" and go ahead and select "format" the Bootcamp drive and it takes about 10 seconds to format. Then I proceed with the install. It comes to the screen where it says "Expanding Windows Activated Files" and it shows a 0% and just hangs there. On one occasion when I was in the beginning stages of the install program it stopped and asked me to insert a disk to install a driver for the disk drive. From what I can tell it's like the mac isn't finding and reading the DVD files properly. And sometimes it works for a while and but after a bit it just craps out. Before Lion I had Snow Lepoard and using Bootcamp 3.2 i was able to install Win7 with no problems.
3) One last thing. So after messing with Lion I became frustrated and thought I'm just going to go back to SL. So I pulled out my SL disk and went ahead and did a full SL install. However, when I went into Bootcamp (v3.2 or whatever version comes with SL) it would not allow me to partition my Hard drive. Some error comes up and I can't remember exactly what the error said. But after doing more research on the web I found the problem. It's that Lion installs another hidden partition on my drive which I can't seem to remove. Even when I used disk utilities and formatted the drive before installing SL the hidden Lion recovery partition is still there. So now I can't seem to go back to a clean install of SL to get bootcamp and Win7 working again.
Any help here is much appreciated.
Thanks
Steven

Does fdisk work? Something like 'sudo fdisk -a hfs'? Or maybe 'fdisk -i' first. You see, I'm guessing here.
If you get the unmount error: would 'umount -Af' from USB work? You probably tried that already.
If this all fails, the next step _I_ would take, would be plugging the disk into a Linux box nearby and check the disk there.

After you install Apple driver to enable the audio chip, YOU then need to manually download and install (Cirrus or Realtek audio depending on the Mac).

Installing Windows 7 Professional

Hi
I currently have:
Machine: ThinkPad R400
OS: Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 32-bit
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.10 GHz
I am planning to (clean) install Windows 7 Professional 32-bit on my laptop.
I would like to know if this is the ‘right time’, in the sense that are all the drivers for ThinkPad available or should I wait for some more time? (I know that beta drivers were available last week but I would prefer to go for the ‘full’ versions)
Also, searching on the internet, I found that I might need to install a new BIOS before installing Windows 7. Is that correct?
Would I need to do anything else before going for the plunge?
Thank you very much for your replies.
Cheers
Chetan

It's always good to get the latest BIOS and install that first.
Then I'd recommend doing the clean install of Win 7.
You'll find that just about all of the drivers you need will either be in the Windows install package or available on our web site by now. After you install Windows, if you download and install Lenovo System Update 4.0, it will find the drivers you need and get them for you.

HT3986 can i install windows 7 professional

Hi my name is janak patel . iam using a macbook pro and i want to install windows 7 professional . can i do it ? plz replay ASAP

Burning an ISO image or .exe if this will be an electronic version is when you can have trouble.
No one needs 32-bit OS anymore, but most don't need Pro, Home Premium is fine.
Schools often offer Windows 7 Pro to students.
ASAP? we're end users and really.
