IQ504 Win 7 Full Install...

I just purchased a used IQ504 with Vista Home Premium 64. I plan to do a full install in Win 7 64. I've alread downloaded the drivers from the HP Support page for my computer. Are these all the drivers required? Do I need to install them in any particular order. Any gotchas I need to look out for?
Thanks.

If you want to continue using the TouchSmart appl, then you'll need to use those updated drivers. I've done two upgrades and they both went really well. One thing to know is that if you ever do a system recovery, you'll go back to Vista.
Some good support document from HP on this subject:
Upgrading to Windows 7
TS Software doesn't work correctly after Upgrading
TS software locks up after upgrading

Full install of Win 7 on my y510

Okay, so I've had my novo y510 for a year now - and have experienced the usual bugs and problems. My 30 GB partition is full, so much so that I can no longer hibernate (insufficient hard disk space to write the hibernation file), nor can I defrag (again, not enough space on the partition). I dual boot my machine with puppy linux, I've got a bunch of smaller partitions that do nothing, and to top things off, the right hinge broke last night.
But I really do love this machine.
So Lenovo support is fixing my hinge (for free --- I'm out of warranty by a couple of months), and now I'm toying with a plan to start over, get a fresh new copy of Win 7 and do a full install.
My question is: Do you think this will be a [relatively] smooth transistion? I mean, I'm backing up all my data, and ditching all my programs (though I am transferring adobe photoshop and illustrator), but I'm worried about device and hardware drivers (i.e., webcam, media buttons, bluetooth, and wireless nic). I really am sick of the whole novo partition thing, it's really frustrating and I just want to do a full install on one partition (the full 250 GB) and move on.
Is this a good idea? Or should I consider an upgrade instead? (the cost of the full version vs. upgrade isn't really an issue)

I've got 7 and none of my drivers work. I'm running 64bit though.
I tried to use the one key recovey but it won't work since I merged my C with my D drive. If you could do me a favor and go to administrative tools and disk management to find out the EXACT size in Mb your C drive is that would be great.
the one key recovery only works if the C drive is identical to what it was out of the factory. If I can restore vista I'm going to try to upgrade to windows 7 rather than full install to see what software will carry over. And I'll let you know how it works

Full install of Win 8

Long story short, I tried to install umbuntu to a external HD to play with but the install went bad and it unmounted my drives. This causes my Pavillion g7 to crash every now and then. My g7 is a refubished unit I bought and had Win 8 installed but I don't know if it had Win 7 before that.
So if I can get hold of a full install of Win 8 would it work with the product key in the bios or am I out of luck as the product key on the software has been used and registered? Please help and thanks in advance-Marc

Recovery Discs install Windows and all software/drivers that came on the laptop.
I know nothing about unmounted drives,btw.Have never experienced it. Things I would try is booting with a utilty cd to delete partitions, create one and format the hdd. Then try Recovery Discs again.
If you don't have a utility cd-Scroll down on the page and get>> Bootable CD and>> ImgBurn to burn the iso image to cd-a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is> Here.
Once created, boot from it. Delete any hdd partitions, create one and format. Next try booting from Recovery again.

HT201456 I have tried to install Windows 8.1 64 on my new Mac Book Pro from a full install disc.

I have tried to install Windows 8.1 64 on my new Mac Book Pro from a full install disc. When I get the the choice of partitions to install Windows 8.1 on the Windows installer says that the Bootcamp partition is not valid.
Has anyone encountered the same issue?

BCA creates the partition as FAT, which the installer needs to format.
Please see https://help.apple.com/bootcamp/mac/5.0/help/#/bcmp173b3bf2 for reference. Where does it break in your case?

Is it possible to have 64-bit 11g Full Install and 32-Client on 1 computer?

Here's why I ask:
I have installed a full 64-bit 11g R2 install on my Windows 7 D: drive, installed two DB's, worked great. Then I realized application I need to support (Cognos 10.1) requires 32-bit client (for drivers) so I installed the 11g client also on D: drive as well (for space reasons).
My problem is that my registry only shows one ORACLE_HOME--the 64-bit full install whereas Cognos reqs to point to 32-bit client.
My sqlplus in the 64-bit OH worked fine (D:\oracle\app\dock\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\BIN\sqlplus.exe) whereas the 32-bit client sqlplus (D:\oracle\client\app\dock\product\11.2.0\client_1\BIN\sqlplus.exe) did not work. The error was:
SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.1.0 Production on Mon Sep 26 18:02:30 2011
Copyright (c) 1982, 2010, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Enter user-name: cognos
Enter password:
ERROR:
ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
Any login id (sys, system, etc) gave same error. 64-bit sql-plus worked fine. If I opened a cmd prompt and navigated to the 32-bit sqlplus under the client this WOULD work to login (but then I noticed it was using the 64-bit ORACLE_HOME and PATH settings if I typed set). In order to fix Cognos, I changed my ORACLE_HOME and path to point to the 32-bit client (i.e. from D:\oracle\app\dock\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1 to
ORACLE_HOME = D:\oracle\client\app\dock\product\11.2.0\client_1
PATH = D:\oracle\client\app\dock\product\11.2.0\client_1\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\PhysX\Common;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files\ThinkPad\Bluetooth Software\;C:\Program Files\ThinkPad\Bluetooth Software\syswow64;C:\Program Files\Intel\WiFi\bin\;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Intel\WirelessCommon\
Guess what? This stopped both the 64-bit and 32-bit sqlplus from working, even after bouncing the computer. Now the listener (64-bit) OracleOraDb11g_home1TNSListener will also not start either.
Sooooo, I think I need to set the OH and PATH back to the 64-bit as that is what the Listener requires but any ideas how to get the 32-bit sqlplus to also work?!? The Cognos application appears to use the default server settings (most likely from ORACLE_HOME and Path) and in it I just type the name of the database and connection string, there's no real way to point it anywhere to differentiate. If it doesn't find 32-bit drivers it throws an error hence the reason I need the client sqlplus, etc to work.
Thanks in advance for any help!

How to remove win 8 and install win 7 in bootcamp

I want to completely remove win 8 and install win 7 in bootcamp. I followed the steps in bootcamp assistant and it appears to remove the win 8 partition. However when starting a new win 7 bootcamp partition and installation setup still thinks win 8 is being used. how do I get it to recognize the win 7 now being installed from the usb drive? This is on an iMac 27 late 2012 with OS x 10.10.1

Hi Janesdf,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
As per the query we understood that you are looking for Windows downgrade on your Ideapad N580.
Before doing any changes in the system HDD partition or with Windows OS, I suggest you to create the system recovery media and then you can downgrade the OS. But you require Windows 7 recovery media.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Hemanth Kumar

Satellite Pro P100 (PSPA4E) - No Sound Following Win 7 Clean Install

Hello, A European friend really struggling and looking for help.
I have just clean installed Win 7 Home Premium (64 bit) on a Satellite Pro P100 (PSPA4E) which was purchased in November 2006. It was previously running XP and I never installed Vista though the laptop is badged Vista Capable) I followed the Win 7 bios/driver/software install order but I now have no sound at all. Everything that I have tried so far has failed to fix it.
The laptop has a Conexant based audio solution with harman kardon speakers. Win 7 has installed the following driver which reports the following info.
High Definition Audio Device (Microsoft Driver version 6.1.7601.17514 dated 11/19/2010) and Device status: This device cannot start. (Code 10)
Hardware IDs:
HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_14F1&DEV_5047&SUBSYS_1179FF31&REV_1000 HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_14F1&DEV_5047&SUBSYS_1179FF31
There is a second exclamation mark in Device Manager for a further unknown device / uninstalled driver (showing code 28) for a device with a Hardware ID of ACPI\SMCB000 but I do not know what this device is!
Does anyone have any suggestions on a fix for my sound issue?
Thanks!
Martyn

Any one have any thoughts on this issue?
I have failed to locate a working / compatible Windows 7 x64 driver for Conexant HD Audio!
Perhaps there isn't one?
Perhaps I need to try harder?!?
Perhaps the on board sound solution featuring Conexant HD Audio is simply ****** as on www.conexant.com they say manufacturers have TOLD them NOT to make drivers available (... to poor unfortunate users)!!!
I think that manufacturers need to step up to the plate and support / help their customers. I own 4 Satellite Pro laptops running Vista x32 and Windows 7 x64. This one cost me well over £1,200 so I don't want to hear or conclude that it is simply scrap! That would represent truly poor value for money - the kind of business case that would undermine my belief that Toshiba laptops are the best in the business.
Ditto Microsoft - the Windows 7 x64 Upgrade Advisor tool gave me the all clear to upgrade this system. All generally appears fine EXCEPT the lack of sound.
Having now been exposed to the experience of many other laptop owners set out in various forums etc, covering both Toshiba laptops and some other major brands, I have to conclude that the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor is flawed and that a successful upgrade is somewhat hit and miss affair. Beware!
That said, still hopeful that someone out there will be able to help me fix this issue?
Regards
Martyn
P.S. I can be reached by any Toshiba or Microsoft technical support guru looking to make a difference and help me out.

How do I reinstall mac os x 10.5.8 without a full install dvd?

I am needing to reinstall Mac OSX 10.5.8 but don't have the original disk the macbook came with. I have tried using a Snow Leopard full install DVD but I keep getting the error message of "OS X cannot be install on this macbook" (paraphrased). I have tried resetting the PRAM and NVRAM but still nothing.
Any one know how to do this?

Using a Snow Leopard install package will not re-install Leopard.
If you tried using a Snow Leopard install package to install Snow Leopard that shipped with a new Mac purchase, the OS X install package that ships with a new Mac purchase is model specific.
Contact Apple or AppleCare to request a replacement Leopard install package that shipped with your Mac when new.

Boot Camp Slipstream Says a Full Install is an Upgrade, Stalls Out?

I'm attempting to install XP on a 2.16 GHz C2D MBP with Snow Leopard. I have created a 20gb partition using the Boot Camp Assistant. I have created a slipstream CD-R from a combination of a XP SP1 disc (bought the first day XP was released!) and the FULL SP2 service pack as recommended. I followed instructions for the slipstream creation to the letter. Same for the CD.
The install starts up and I declare I want a full install and not a recovery. Then I receive an error notice telling me I have an upgrade disc and must use a FULL copy for the install. Without a way to eject the slipstreamed disc and put the full SP1 disc in, for verification, I am stuck. I see no mentions of this problem anywhere.
I have seen comments concerning similar issues suggest a problem in the disc creation. But I have done the process three times now, revealing all hidden files and ensuring the use of the same legacy burning software mentioned in the slipstream creation posts.
As Boot Camp still offers to download necessary files, a feature that apparently NEVER worked, I am interested to know if anyone can really help me. I live in China and see boot camped Macs everywhere. But they all have hacked copies of XP or 7 running. I want to use a legal copy. How?
I'm installing XP to keep access to great scanners unsupported on Mac and play older videogames.

If you've already done a search in these forums and couldn't find anything then your best bet would be a Yahoo/Google search, (or what ever is used over there.)
Unfortunately it sounds like it still didn't slipstream right, have you tried using it on a Windows machine and see it it works?
Another option is to download a non legal version ( if you can find a "clean" version) then just install your legal serial number. Or even a friends copy of a SP2 or SP3 version and use your serial number instead. From what i've read quite a few gave up and did the same.

Adobe elements photo shop full install does not work. How do I get it to work?

It worked before and now it doesn't. For some reason the computer is treating the full install as if it were a demo. I already registered the product when I first installed...... Only the organizer works now. I uninstalled and re installed but still doesn't work. How do I get it to work...I have windows 8.1...Please help...Thank you.
Somehow the Adobe Manager is not recognizing the full install. Is that possible? There are 2 selections during installation ....trial or product key....
I selected product key since I have the product key. The installation accepts the product key acts like it is installing but then it doesn't run...then I tried the demo installation without the key since I can't enter it in the box in demo mode....that doesn't run either.....Is the Adobe Manager the problem? How do I fix this?
Once again, any help or tips will do...Thank you....

The password prompt is supplied by the operating system, and is intended to protect you from accidentally installing software. You will get this prompt for any installation outside the App Store context.
If you do not need to enter a username or password when starting your computer, you can probably just leave the password field blank when acknowledging this prompt.

Upgrading From Final Cut Pro 5 to 6 - can you use full install disk?

Hi,
I have one MacBook Pro running Final Cut 6 (with Final Cut Studio 2), and another one running Final Cut Pro 5 (with Final Cut Studio). We're looking to upgrade the second one to Final Cut Studio 2.
Does anyone know if the upgrade can be done with the disks from the full install box of Studio 2, using the product key from an upgrade? We happen to be in the middle of East Africa at the moment, so shipping is an issue...
Thanks

You CAN install Final Cut Studio with only the upgrade disk set BUT you will need the product key for BOTH the Final Cut Studio 2 AND the previous version.
After you insert the Final Cut Studio 2 upgrade installation disk you will first be asked to input the product key for the upgrade version and then after you will be requested for the product key of the previous version.
After this, the installation process does NOT require any disks from the previous version of Final Cut Studio.

Trying to get Win 7 64 installed, not working

I am trying to get Win 7 64 installed. I have my dvd (downloaded a authorized version from Microsoft partners group, legal copy, we use it for other installs all the time). I imaged it to a dvd, should be all set.
Both Mac and Win side see the DVD. I go to my bootcamp utility, and go through that process. I am setting it up on my solid state drive that I just put into my CD slot. The DVD drive is now in an external housing hooked up VIA USB.
I then tell it to continue to format my new HD, and start the instal. It restarts, my DVD drive spins up and starts running. Then a gray screen comes up with the Apple in the middle. It then flashes, every now and then.
Can any of you give me some ideas? I have spent hours on this so far.
Thanks,
John

If you use Apple Disk Utility to burn the ISO, it won't work properly unless burned at reduced slowest speed 2x. Common and what I would consider "well known" but not documented, not put in the PDF guide in writing.
Sometimes it even boots and installs but bad install and fails. So in a way you were lucky it wouldn't start.

Update to 31.0 "stub" file and full install file fail to install Firefox. Removed Firefox and tried and it STILL does not install. Windows 7 OS

The 31.0 stub file failed to upgrade on my XP system but was able to overwrite with full install file. But the Windows 7 refuses to update or overwrite. It gets as far as extracting the files and then just stops.

Try this:
*Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop<br>http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Start the installation with a double-click on the desktop icon

Creating a partition after Win server 20i12r2 install

Hi I wish to allocate a separate partition for my my win server 2012r2 (hp proliant gen 6 server.) The win 2012r2 was installed in a hurry without partitioning the HD raid4 … The ADS and home directories of users are in place and I wish to transfer the user
data (home folders) to the New Partition. How do I go about without doing a fresh install. pl help

Hi Journville,
Do you mean you have install a server 2012R2 but used up all your current disk and you want to migrate the current user profile data to another partition? It is not support
scenario.
User Profile folder relocation
Folder Redirection is partially supported by OS:
Correct functionality of redirected folder is delegated to third party applications and could generate problem after OS installation
The Directory Database can be moved to others partition, you can refer the following related KB:

Full-Installed Tiger, iPhoto missing. Should I have started from Panther?

Couldn't find in Search so here goes. For various reasons I chose to go ahead and run a full install of Tiger after my OS crashed. Everything works fine except that iPhoto and GarageBand are nowhere to be found. Should I have started with the original Panther 10.3.2 before installing Tiger? Alternately, can I simply install the missing apps from the Panther software without starting completely over?

Hi, and a warm welcome to the Discussions!
Too late nw, but the Archive and Install feature...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
Would've been the way to go.
Normally, those APPs are on iLife disks... do you have them?

Though some install CD/DVDs had optional installs, Load your DVDs and see if there is Custom Install or such on them.
