My Macbook can't read my Windows 7 Home Premium OEM SB disc.

So, I got the Windows 7 Home Premium OEM System Builder Pack today, but my Macbook won't read it. It's a Macbook from 2010 with a 64 bit processor, as the DVD requires.
I can hear it trying to boot the DVD up about 5 times before it gives up and spits it out again.

maybe the dvd is damaged so the dvdreader can't read it?

  • Can I change the OS of Touchsmart 610 from Windows Home Premium to Windows 7 Pro?

    I have 610 1100me system loaded with Windows Home Premium 64 bit.  We bought it from Dubai and is in use in Pakistan.  It started giving problems after few weeks of use.  Its' hard disk makes noise and sometimes, system could not find boot disk.  Most of the times blue screen of death and hanging issues.  Any idea about this issue and how to fix it?  My observation is that the culprit is hard disk!
    Also, can I change its OS to Windows 7 Pro or ultimate (32 or 64 bit)?  Where can I find all drivers for Pro or Ultimate?
    Many thanks for your valueable advice.

    Hi,
    Nearly nothing change interms of drivers required for Windows 7 (HP, Pro, Ultimate) unless you switch from 64 to 32 bit. You can reuse your current HP 64 bit drivers for 64 bit W7 Pro or Ultimate.

  • Playbook Can't Read VNI Windows Fonts (like font Vni-Times...)?

    I have some docs written in Vni Windows fonts (such as Vni-Time, Vni-Aptima). I copy to my playbook but I cant read correctly (on PC installed Vni Windows fonts is ok) . But when I change the fonts into Unicode fonts (Time New Roman...), the playbook read ok. That why I have questions:
    1. Can Playbook Read VNI Windows Fonts (like font Vni-Times...)?
    2. If not, how can I install Vni Windows fonts (such as Vni-Time, Vni-Aptima) into my playbook so that I can read correctly without changing the fonts on PC before copy to playbook?
    Thanks all for your help.

    As far as i know fonts cannot be modified and keyboard/editors will not support Vietnamese, or Arabic, or Chinese, or Japanese or Cerilic or Greek or ........anything but Roman fonts.

  • Windows 7 home Premium OEM - download

    Hello
    I wish to know if there is a way to download Windows 7 Home Premium OEM to a Notebook ThinkPad Y 570.
    (What I done before)
    I try ti recover the O.S. with One Key Recover and does not work.
    Then I downloaded Windows 7 Home Premium ISO installer and I format all the partitions of the notebook.
    But when I click to install Win7 a message saying that "windows cannot be installed on that partition" appears.
    Can I download a Windows 7 Home Premium OEM?

    Choose your version and use the s/n on the sticker of your computer (on the back or under the battery for laptops)
    Remember choose the version for which your computer is licensed.

    i purchased windows 7 from amazon and i just received it. they sent me windows 7 home premium "OEM System Builder Pack". the instructions say "Intended for system builders only". also says " must be per installed on the hard drive of a fully assembled computer system, using the OEM Preinstallation kit (OPK)."

    System Builder - just be sure to get 64-bit version, no one needs or wants 32-bit today, and only comes with one, while retail ships with both 32/64-bit media.
    you can't install it and activate on different hardware later is all, and by then for what you saved, so what, Windows 8 or SP2 will be out.
    A few people had trouble with Windows 7 SP1 for some reason and not sure exactly why, changes to the boot loader on the DVD I presume.

  • Windows 7 Home Premium OEM iso file

    Hellowhen i bought this laptop it didnt have any recovery disks in the packetmy brother formated the HDD from a friends windows cd but the product key didnt work (i dont know why my bro did it)and now he has pirate windowsI the bottom of the laptop there is an OEM key for windows 7 home premium x64but i dont have the .iso file to recover it neither i have recovery disks(im not sure i ll search if i have created some disks myself for recovery long ago..im not sure...i did it with the recovery manager that was preinstalled...i ll search them..do they work)and if u have any .iso file for Windows 7 home premium OEM could u send it to me? thnk u sincerelly

    correct me if i am wrong you can order the restore disc from hp if the device is less than 5 years old or less depending how far hp will go back since so many new PCs and hp may go less that 5 years and you may need to order outside of HP support as for the pirate windows and this miscrosoft will not allow you any MsUpdates on their website and pirated copys of windows are a spell for trouble with glitched or security issues protecting your PC if it were me and i would use the restore disc to get the PC back where it was from the manufacture pre-installation 

  • How do I re install windows home premium OA?

    I had windows home premium OA on my computer , but I believe it was accidentally uninstalled from my hard drive.  I have the product key that is on my computer.  I was having trouble finding the correct link to reinstall it on my lap top. 
    When I went to the microsoft Website all I found was support for windows 8 .  Can you give help me with the proper link? thank you

    Please provide the manufacturer and model of your pc.
    It is possible you have a hidden recovery partition on your hard drive which may be used instead of a recovery disk to restore your system (and Windows) to factory defaults.
    Recovery procedures vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.
    You should also search for any recovery disk/s that were supplied with your pc. Manufacturers invariably charge a significant fee to supply replacements.
    If you decide to use borrowed/downloaded media to reinstall Windows on an OEM pc, the process may not be straightforward. Without some experience and patience you may end up with no other option than to pay a professional to finish the job.
    Microsoft does not publicly provide download links for Windows. While you may stumble upon an official download source, beware that many unofficial sources will come pre-loaded with viruses, trojans etc.

  • I bought Windows 7 Home premium OEM generic, but I need help installing!

    Okay, so I have a brand new Macbook Pro(15" late 2013) and I just purchased Windows 7 Home Premium (OEM generic). My question is, I don't want to buy an external hard drive and have a Windows 7 Home Premium.iso file. Could I use that to install and then use my key from the box to activate it?

    I'm not sure if it's a retail key.. I bought it from Walmart, It's the OEM version though.. is that a retail key?

  • PDF File downloaded from Mac Can't Read From Windows 7

    Hi,
    I am now doing a research, and every time when I copy the reference paper in PDF format from Mac to a flash drive, it could not be read from Windows at the university lab. Usually some pages of the file was missing. This really cause me a pain. Please help me.   Thanks...
    Max

    Almost all flash drives are formatted as a Windows drive. When you copy almost any file to the flash drive two different files are created. One corresponds to the data fork of the Mac file and the second is a resource fork. When viewed from Windows the resource fork has the same name as  the original file but it preceded by a period. This resource fork file should be ignored. The real file as far as Windows is concerned is the data fork file.
    Now if the file you are moving to Windows can be opened and is missing pages, then that is not the fault of Reader or the Mac OS. But is related to how you are creating or obtaining the file.

  • Can I sync Office 2013 Home premium Outlook calendar and contacts across all my computers without using Hotmail account

    I don't want to use a Hotmail account to do this.
    Is it possible?
    The licence is for 5 PC's but seems to have no sync ability.

    I just went to Windows 8.1 and I purchased Office 365 home premium for 5 PCs or Macs and 5 mobile devices. No where in the page or the "learn more info" did it say it would not sync up with iPhones and iPads. I am concerned I wasted my money because
    I truly wanted to have Outlook on my iPhone and Ipad. There is an OWA for iPad and Iphone available but I have deducted that it needs Microsoft Exchange which is not included in the home premium version of office365. I am not sure what good it does to advertise
    syncing with mobile devices when it truly will not sync up. Is this True?
    For $100/year, you would think exchange could be included so these syncing issues would not be a problem. I do not want to keep up with more email accounts just to make it work with Microsoft.
    I am trying to keep things simple. I do use iPhones and Ipads, and based on the advertising for office 365 all my current issues would be seamlessly fixed by going this route. I'm afraid not unless someone can give me the simple solution that does not
    require a PHd in computer saavy. I am not a rookie, but after 4 hours of trying everything I know to make it work, I just could not do it through my new office365 software or the apps for Iphone or Ipad. In addition, there were conflicting answers and
    responses from Microsoft when I called or chatted with their support people.
    BTW, I did download iCloud onto my new laptop and it knew that it was not syncing with Outlook and immediately asked if I wanted to fix. Downloaded the fix, restarted system, and calendar and contacts immediately synced up on my apple devices and my
    new computer.
    The funny thing is that I still cannot get Office365 to sync with the windows 8.1 calendar or contacts app on the start page using my POP email account that I have had for many years. I also think it needs exchange. Please provide some guidance
    here.
    I'm trying not to be difficult but am looking for the software to work as advertised so I can stick with all office products. If not, just give me a refund and I will buy a stand alone version for my PC and sync up with Apple apps which work well and
    are much less expensive. Thanks for your assistance.

  • Laserjet 4240n driver does not work with windows home premium 64 bit

    I recently was given a HP laserjet 4240n by my employer to use in a remote office.  I am using a Windows version 7 home premium 64 bit laptop.  I have tried the HP install wizard - no support for this printer.  I have tried downloading the "correct" driver - but that doesn't work either.
    I assume that there is something wrong but I have spent hours and still haven't been able to figutre out what is wrong and how to fix it!
    HELP!
    Thanks,

  • Xfi extreme audio SB0790 Windows Home Premium

    I have installed Windows 7 upgrade on an HP desktop that was running XP Pro. Install went fine exept I have an error "No Audio Device Installed"? yet I have installed the Xfi extreme audio card in its slot. The card works fine with XP. I have gone with the windows update installed the current driver with still no luck. Searched the forums again no luck, have done my due diligence via the internet and with beta drivers and still only have the red X everytime I boot. What can I do to get this card working agian?

    Re: Xfi extreme audio SB0790 Windows Home Premium0 As I stated in my first post I did my due diligence and after installing beta drivers for the SB0790 then installing the recommended driver dated July 09 it still does not recognize the device (7 Home Premium). I have gone through every forum google points me to we are not alone, taking advice I've installed then deleted these drivers about 0 to 20 times I've tried compatibility mode "Vista" "Vista SP", "Vista SP2", "XP", and so forth with no luck also running the driver as admin. Every time I update driver in 7 it tells me I have the current driver yet I have a red X and no sound.
    I can't believe that Creative does not have working drivers for the final release of 7 knowing that they had 6 to 8 months to prepare. Really poor on their part.

  • S205 w/ Windows Home Premium not recognizing Integrated WebCam - Windows 7 Drivers?

    I just got an awesome deal on an S205 netbook. Everything is great except that I cannot get the WebCam to work. This is a deal breaker. If I can't figure it out I'll be returning it.
    So far I have tried various things. When I first started this I couldn't figure things out. There was no camera in the Device Manager and nothing obvious on the system (hardware, software) about a camera, except that I can see it, physically on the netbook and know it came with a WebCam. How to use it? Nada. So I went to the Lenovo site & installed a driver and then Skype. The microphone works in Skype, but no picture. Totally black. However, it automatically brings up Lenovo YouCam when you test the video in Skype. So that helped as this software was not recognizing a camera either, so I knew it wasn't just Skype.
    Then I figured out that I needed to hit Fn+Esc to enable the webcam. I thought that was the ticket. However, as soon as I did that I got a message that the USB device was not recognized. I uninstalled the driver and went back to reinstall it to see if that might help, however at this time I realized that the driver's on Lenovo's site for the s205 are for XP not Windows 7. Seriously? Turns out there are two different sites. http://support.lenovo.com and http://consumersupport.lenovo.com The later has the Windows 7 version, the first site lists Xp drivers ... Installed the W7 Driver again, but still not working or recognizing the camera ... Anyway, I am not a techie, but I am pretty decent at figuring stuff out or Googling and researching this stuff online. Or following your directions/suggestions. From my searching so far no one seems to have this exact issue. Most it is either not having software to use the camera or not having it enabled and neither of these are my issue. Any ideas for what my next step should be? Details on my system below. Thanks!
    Lenonvo ideaPad - 11.6" 1366x768 LED; AMD Dual-Core E-350 1.6GHz; 4GB RAM; 500GB HDD; 802.11n; Windows 7 Home Premium; ATI Radeon HD6310M graphics; webcam; 6-cell battery
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I've had some webcam issues, too.
    Sadly, the webcam device ID is not listed in the driver available for download at the support page.
    Thus, installing this driver is pointless.
    Nevertheless, you can force the driver installation and it will work as it should.
    Please have a look at the device manager.
    Double-click the unknown device, go to Details and select the Hardware ID property.
    It should be USB\VID_5986&PID_0292&REV_1403&MI_00
    (In case you got a different VendorID/ProductID, google them. You should quickly find something. Be sure this device is the webcam and not some other device. Otherwise don't continue.)
    Now unpack the driver setup file with 7-zip or WinRaR.
    Back to the Device Manager -> Double-click the device, select the Driver tab, click Update Driver and browse for the extracted folder. You will need the Bison subfolder.
    Good luck.
