USB install of windows 7 on macbookpro 3.1?

I have a MacBook Pro which I would like to install windows 7 onto a bootcamp partition. However, the internal DVD drive is bust and spits out any DVD/cd inserted. Is there any way of installing windows 7 without fixing the internal DVD drive? I've tried a USB and refit but to no avail.

Microsoft has released a rather 'short' instruction here http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/dd535816.aspx on how-to use an USB-Memory-Stick to install Windows 7 off it.
One a bit more detailed http://www.intowindows.com/how-to-install-windows-7vista-from-usb-drive-detailed -100-working-guide/
But you have to do all the necessary steps on a Windows-PC !

How do I install Bootcamp Windows 8.1 To Go on an external USB disk (MBA 2013)

Hi,
I've got a new 11" 2013 macbook air with 128gb SSD. I've downloaded the windows 8.1 enterprise preview, and am trying to figure out how to install it on a 64gb USB3 Flash drive instead of on my SSD. The Flash drive speeds clock around 150mbs read/write so should be fast enough
I've managed to install the windows 8.1 preview on my SSD with BootCamp, but would like to erase that and try the new Windows To Go instead to install on the external drive.
Anyone know what the steps are?

There are 5 supported flash drives: which one do you have?
Hardware considerations
Windows To Go works both on USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 connections, and both on legacy BIOS and UEFI firmware.[11] Not all USB drives can be used in this environment; Microsoft has set up specific testing requirements that the USB drive manufacturer must meet in order to be a supported device. Currently there are five USB Flash memory devices listed as supported by Microsoft for Windows To Go:
Imation IronKey Workspace[15]
Kingston DataTraveler Workspace[16]
SPYRUS Portable Workplace[17][18]
SPYRUS Secure Portable Workplace (w/ Hardware Encryption)[19][20]
SuperTalent Express RC8[21]

USB Console (Serial) Driver fails to install on Windows 8.1 x64

The USB console cable driver v3.1 will not install on Windows 8.1 x64. Had a similar problem with Windows 7 x64 but this was fixed using Greg's (greggar25) excellent step-by-step procedure (see post: https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/11492306/usb-console-driver-install-failing).
I am using the driver from this link: http://software.cisco.com/download/release.html?mdfid=282774228&flowid=7442&softwareid=282855122&release=3.1&relind=AVAILABLE&rellifecycle=&reltype=latest
I followed the same procedures I did for Windows 7 and the install goes without a hitch. Reboot and connect the USB cable, opened Device Manager and now I have a COM Port randomly appearing and disappearing with its number incrementing well above 1,000.
A few times while it appeared for a few seconds, I was able to right click on the properties, update the driver and chose Cisco Serial and it settled down but it did not assign a COM port. Then a few seconds later, it starts the disappearing/reappearing thing again.
Anyone have luck getting this to work with Windows 8.1 x64?

Hi,
open Device Manager by simply typing the words on the Windows 8.1 Start Screen. The Search Charm opens and click Device Manager in the displayed list.
In Device Manager a new hardware category, CiscoUsbConsoleWindowsDriver, is displayed. It has two components: the Cisco Bus enumerator and the Cisco USB to Serial adapter. Expanding the Ports hardware category shows a new Cisco Serial port.

Look into below
https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/11492306/usb-console-driver-install-failing
1) Install the usb console driver\windows 64\setup(x64)
2) Follow the wizard and accept the defaults
3) Restart the computer (the installer usually says it needs a restart)
4) After restarting the computer, plug in the usb cable
5) The computer should say installing Device driver software and fail at the Cisco Virtual Comm Port00
6) Click the Windows button, right click computer, manage
7) Under Computer Management, Click Device Management
8) Go to Ports (COM & LPT)
9) You should see the Cisco Virtual Comm Port00 with a Yellow Exclamation point on it
10) Right Click on the Cisco Virtual Comm Port00 and select Properties
11) Click the Driver Tab
12) Click Update Driver
13) Select Browse my computer for driver software
14) Select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
15) Choose the Cisco Serial Driver
16) Device Driver is installed successfully, take note of the com port it is using and enjoy.

How to install USB driver for Windows?

I'm trying to connect my LG VS980 phone to a Windows XP computer. I'm having difficulty installing the USB driver.
After following several false trails, I found what I think is the right file: on a "Product Support" page which says it's for a "G2 Verizon VS980," there's a button labeled, "Install the USB DRIVER / USB DRIVER for Windows / DOWNLOAD." I clicked the button and downloaded a file 8 MB file. Its name is LG. Not LG.exe or LG.msi or LG.zip. Just LG.
When I double click the file, Windows quite reasonably asks me what program to use to run it. I don't know what program to use any more than Windows does.
There's a link labeled "Instructions... LG G2 VS980 SOFTWARE UPDATE below the download button. When I click it, it loads instructions for installing software on the phone.
Can anyone make sense of this for me?

I'll so my best to answer the questions.
>...what you're looking to do a transfer with...?
Initially I want to download pictures taken with the phone's camera. I've considered other uses for a USB connection that I can explore once it's working. I'm puzzled by the question, though. Why should the type of data I want to transfer affect the fact that I can't find an installable driver? I wonder whether my question means the same thing to you as it does to me.
Because photos and music are the basic media people want to transfer between their phones and computers. (Computers in this sense are laptops, desktops, note books etc.) So the question to you was valid.
>Also, have you tried any other computers?
No. Again, I'm puzzled. What difference would another computer make? Would I be able to find a download from one computer that I can't find from another? (Only by blind chance.) Might another computer be able to execute or load a file with no filetype? (Only if it has magical powers.)
Different computers may work where the computer you own evidently does not work. It is good to check the connection of the device to another computer to rule that out. I will answer the obvious of different operating systems and how they function.
>And which software version if your phone currently running?
That question makes sense. Unfortunately I can't answer it. I've looked up how to find the version number, and the instructions tell me to select an "About phone" item in the Settings menu, which doesn't exist.
Doesn't exist? open the Settings Menu go all the way to the bottom (scroll down) the last entry is "ABOUT PHONE" click it. It will give hardware and software versions operating system number etc. Its there trust me. My wife just bought this phone and loves it.
>Often times, the device drivers you're prompted to install are supported solely by the computer's software.
I'm not sure what you're saying here. Taken at face value, it's a trivial and obvious: any driver that one installs on any computing device is supported solely by (i.e., depends on) the device's software. But how does that relate to the question about the version of Android? Android runs on the phone; the driver has to run on the computer.
You stated you are using an older Windows XP computer, I can tell you I hooked my wife's phone to our Windows 8.1 computer and no drivers were necessary. It came up with an option on the phone screen and I chose USB Mass Storage for the connection. This option is also in the phones settings. Read the manual it has loads of information form you to use.
The device had a drive letter assigned and it was labeled LG-Network and once you double click it the folders for music, photos, etc. are all there. Via using windows manager you can simply do a copy and paste to and from the different folders and drives with ease.
Good Luck

IMac won't boot from Windows USB install stick

I have a iMac 7.1, the first gen Intel iMac, now running Moutain Lion 10.8.2. I installed Windows 7 via bootcamp two years ago via a flash disk, and the installation was smooth and easy. Now I want to try some Windows 8. I used the Windows USB install tool to clone the install disk into a flash drive and tested the flash drive on a windows computer first. It was working properly. But my iMac just couldn't boot from the flash disk when I pressed the option button during start-up. There's no icon for the flash disk. Then I clone the old Windows 7 install ISO into the flash disk, it wouldn't show in the boot options either! Why? Is it because of some firmware update? Why the same Windows 7 install image I used two years a ago can't boot now for the same iMac? Please help. Thanks!
Jeff

I believe mende1's response is slightly incorrect. On older Mac computers that came with an internal DVD drive the only way to install Windows on those Mac's is from that internal DVD drive. Even if you connect an external DVD drive OS X and or the Mac computer Firmware will not allow the Win install DVD to boot from that external DVD drive. It must be done from the internal DVD drive. So if yours has failed then you would need to have it replaced before you can install Windows on your Mac.
I know this from personally trying to install Windows from an external DVD drive even when there is an internal DVD still in the system. My late 2011 MBP would not load the Win install from the external DVD drive but would from the internal DVD drive.

Making a USB install disc for macbook air using a windows PC!

Ok i have an iMac and a macbook air, so this guide here seems good for me right?
How to Create a Mac Snow Leopard USB Installer Disk
The problem I've got is that my iMac superdrive is skewed, it just won't read anything (disc is new etc but the drive won't work with pretty much ANY disc at all, and i mean any, just spits them out after a few seconds of trying to read it).
Anyways, can this process as described in the URL above be done using a windows based pc? i also have one as a media centre in my room and it has a working dvd drive..... if so what do i need to do? this is driving me insane! i cannot afford an external superdrive or any other external drives at the moment nor is the iMac in warranty and nor do i have the ability to take it anywhere.

Its a long one to explain but the superdrive in the imac works when it wants, and fortuantly last time it worked with the OSX disc that came with the imac! amazing, i made the usb installer and then when booted with macbook air it stated it cannot be installed. I did a little digging and discovered that it was because the imac came with one of those grey OEM discs and are not able to transpose to another machine at all, this is officially from apple and what others have used, hence my need to then get a full snow leopord disc.
The disc however unlike the other OSX grey one will not read at all
also what i mean is can i use the drive from the windows machine to make the usb install disc not using windows itself....?

Archlinux. On QEMU. On your USB. On Windows

- GOAL
Running ArchLinux 2009.02 on an USB Drive in Windows. Slow? Perhaps. Personally, I think it is actually pretty fast. Though
I must admit that I don't use funky things like X-windows (KDE, Gnome or something else), it was still pretty fast for a
complete OS running from an USB stick within(!) another OS.
So why would you want to do this? It's quite simple, actually. For me, the problem was that I always had to use Windows (XP)
at my work and wouldn't be able to boot into Arch there using a LiveCD or USB, thus being unable to use all my applications.
Perhaps you ARE able to boot into Linux at your work, but still, it can become quite frustrating to have to boot into another
Operating System all the time. With this, you don't have to do that anymore, you can run all your Linux applications IN
Windows!
- REQUIREMENTS
- Download QEMU 0.9.0 for Windows
- Download ArchLinux 2009.02 (later versions will probably work, but I used this version)
- An empty CD
- An USB drive of at least 4GiB
- GETTING ARCH
The first thing you should do once you have downloaded ArchLinux (a task that could take a while, depending largely on the
speed of your internet connection,) is to burn it to a CD. Perhaps it's different with you, but for me, QEMU wasn't able to
use the CD-image of ArchLinux properly without it being burned to a CD and being in the real CD-drive. Yes, I know this sucks,
because this means the installation of ArchLinux on your USB drive is going to take even MORE time, but I'm afraid it won't
work otherwise. (It didn't work with me, at least, perhaps it is different if you are using a different version of Arch, feel
free to contact me if this is the case.)
- SETTING UP QEMU
Once you have downloaded and unzipped QEMU, you have to create a disk image using qemu-img.exe. Fire up a terminal, and run
"qemu-img.exe create harddisk.img 4000M". This will probably take some time. (Assuming you are doing this on your USB drive,
if you're not, you still have to copy the file to your USB drive someday, so don't think you've bypassed the test of patience!)
When it's done, you will have a nice raw image file of 4000 Megabytes without any data in your folder, we are going to need
this later.
Now, to be able to boot the ArchLinux CD in QEMU, we have to modify the qemu-win.bat file a bit. Open the file, remove all
lines, and then write this: "qemu.exe -L . -m 512 -boot d -cdrom /dev/cdrom -hda harddisk.img" Now if you run this batch file,
it will start QEMU, allocate a maximum of 512MB RAM to the application (use less if you don't have that many, but I recommend
using as much as possible, since you don't want it to run TOO slow), boot from CDROM (-boot d) and use the /dev/cdrom to
locate the CDROM image, which should be your (first) CD/DVD-player. The -hda harddisk.img means it will use the file
harddisk.img as a hard disk drive (duh) which we are going to use to install Arch on. To go on, put the ArchLinux CD in your
CD/DVD-player, and run the batch file.
- INSTALLING ARCH
Installing ArchLinux is pretty straightforward, all you have to do is follow the instructions on the screen. There are a few
points you should keep in mind when installing ArchLinux on an USB drive, though.
- Don't create too many partitions! When using the 'auto-partitioner', Arch wants you to create seperate partitions for the
/ and the /home folder, I would not recommend doing this if you haven't created a harddisk image of at least 8000M. Because,
quite simply, otherwise you have to distribute the space (just 4000M) between / and /home, and it can be quite difficult to
allocate the right amount of space. Believe me, it IS a problem if you run out of space someday. You can't just create a
bigger harddisk.img file. (Well, technically you can, but that would be a little bit.. difficult for most people.)
- Don't select too many packages. Assuming you know what you're doing, try to deselect as much as possible (without screwing
up the whole thing, of course) for a very simple reason, you don't have that much space on a simple USB drive.
- Of course, you don't have to care at all about the above pointers if you have a very large USB drive. Very large here
meaning anything larger than 16GB, so yes, that IS pretty large in my opinion.
- SETTING UP QEMU, AGAIN
So you've installed Arch on your harddisk image, huh? Well done! In any case, we can't use the qemu-win.bat file anymore,
since we don't want to boot using the CD/DVD-player again. I recommend creating a new batch file in the QEMU folder,
(call it 'arch-hd.bat', or something like that,) and put the following line into it: "qemu.exe -L . -m 512 -boot c -hda
harddisk.img", the only thing that is changed is that we don't use the CD/DVD-player anymore, and that we changed the
it to -boot c which means it will boot from the harddisk image. (Actually isn't so difficult now, is it?)
- FINAL REMARKS
Now you're ready to go! You've installed ArchLinux on a Virtual Machine on your USB drive, so now the fun can start! One more
thing that I consider VERY important to know is how to mount your physical hard disk in Arch (in QEMU). Knowing this can make
it extremety-much easier to install things on Arch, since you can then simply 'download' the packages from your physical
hard drive.
To use your physical hard drive in QEMU, add "-hdb \\.\PhysicalDrive0" to the batch-file (arch-hd.bat), this line will assign
your first physical hard drive to /dev/hdb (or /dev/sdb) in Arch. Remember that you still have to mount it! (Someting that can
be done by writing "mount -t ntfs /dev/hdb1 /mnt/" in the terminal. Assuming your first hard drive uses the NTFS-format, and
the main partitions is /dev/hdb1, this should put all files and filders in /mnt/. It is possible that your partition is called
/dev/sdb1, in that case simply replace hdb1 with sdb1.)
Please keep in mind that there are many, many more parameters you can use in QEMU, so reading the documentation will probably
be a very good thing. You never know, you MIGHT even learn something!
- FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q. When configuring the system in the ArchLinux installer, it just stopped doing anything when it was saving the configuration
files! Did it somehow crash?
A. No, this is normal. For some reason (called 'writing speed'), this just takes time. Much time. Lots of time. This is the real
test of patience.
Q. How do I get support for sound/video card/networking/etc. in QEMU?
A. Read the documentation!
Q. Help! QEMU crashed when I tried to run the .bat file!
A. Check whether you are using the exact same .bat file as given in the instructions. If it still doesn't work, contact me and
I will try to solve your problem if you provide me with enough information about it. (So sending me a message containing
something like "Help! QEMU doesn't work on my PC!" will probably not get you much of a useful response.)

thank you, quite useful. btw i had to use qemu 0.9.0 for installation - somehow i was unable to make 1.5.50 boot (from neither iso nor physical cdrom). but then i had to switch back to the newer version because i was getting a lot of libata2 exception messages on console. also, i had to update UUID for some reason in grub.cfg. performancewise it's not very fast but it fits my needs. i am using the following command to start my qemu archbox: qemu-system-i386.exe -boot c -hda harddisk.img -net nic,model=virtio -net user -redir tcp:5555::22 and then i can connect using putty on my local port 5555. the good thing about this is that you really don't need admin rights.

How can I install new windows on NB200-10z without a CD drive?

Hi,
I have a mini laptop "Toshiba nb200-10z" and it doesnt startup anymore.
I would like to do a recovery, but it also doesnt work.
I know there is a shortcut like press the 0 button when the laptop is starting up.
With this shortcut you can start the recovery to reset the software.
But when I press the 0 button it gives me an error.
So I think the recovery drive/partition is lost.
How can I install new windows on this minilaptop without a CD drive?

I have found a much easier way to install Windows 7 from a USB Flash drive. Unlike other methods where you have to write complicated commands, this method can be completed even by those who have very little computer background.
The whole process takes only two steps, run UNetbootin, load the Windows 7 ISO file, and finally restart your computer.
Before you begin, you will require the following:
USB Flash Drive (4GB minimum)
Windows 7 ISO Image file
UNetbootin
Note: If UNetbootin doesnt work, try out the Microsofts official tool called Windows 7 USB/DVD Tool.
Now insert the USB drive, run UNetbootin, and select Disk Image as ISO. Browse your local drive for Windows 7 ISO that you downloaded and click Open. Now Select Type as USB and choose the drive. Once done, it will look like a bit similar to the screenshot shown below.
Click OK and it will begin extracting all installation files to the USB drive. The whole process will take some time (10-15 minutes), so have patience.
Once the installation is complete, reboot your computer. Now while your system is starting up press the appropriate button (usually F1, F2, F12, ESC, Backspace, or Escape) to bring up Bios Boot Menu.
Change the startup order to boot USB by default, usually you will have to press F6 to move the selected USB device on top. Once done, save changes and restart the system.

HP C309 G AIO can't install in Windows 7 64bit running under BootCamp

HP C309 G Printer wont install in Windows 7 64bit running under BootCamp on a new iMac
Just bought a new iMac. Installed HP C309 all in one without incident on the Mac side. I am also running Windows 7 on iMac through a program called Bootcamp. When I boot to Windows 7 and try to install the newly downloaded software for windows 7 from the HP site, it begins to load then stops, giving me two error messages. They are both essentially the same except one says software and the other says hardware. The software one says: This computer does not have the necessary USB software support to allow completion of a USB installation. The printer plugs directly into the monitor in one of four usb ports. All the usb ports work on the system when using Windows 7. I have other devices working and plugged into the usb ports while in Windows 7. It is almost like the printer software is unable to find the usb software or hardware. Any ideas

Well, you have a full Window's 7 install so you would really have to go to HP and/or Microsoft to see what is going on. Bootcamp basically is only involved with "booting" and just installs Apple product drivers and such. Just treat the Window's side as if you are using it on a "normal" Window's PC. (As far as problems, crash's, updates, or any other Windows, HP, etc, problems you may have.)
"Installed HP C309 all in one without incident on the Mac side."
So,,, that means the printer "works" (prints) on the Mac or the installer just worked? Make sure the Printer actually prints in the Mac side as you may have a dead USB port on the Printer. It happens.
If your HP works fine (prints) in the Apple environment you know it's not the USB ports on either the printer or the computer.
You said you already downloaded the newer versions, have you tried using the drivers on the install disk and then update them to the newer ones? Also if you haven't yet, make sure the drivers are for the 64bit version, just a thought.
That's about all my brain cells have so good luck.......

HP OfficeJet J6410 won't install under Windows 8

Hello to you all,
Two days ago, I bought a new notebook for my daughter. She needs it for her study. It's the HP Pavilion TouchSmart 11-e000ed.
Again, just like the situation I wrote about before in this topic over here (link: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Install-Setup/Officet-J6410-won-t-install-under-Wind... the OfficeJet Printer J6410 won't install under Windows 8.
Now this is what I've done before the problem occured:
- I made a username and password for her,
- I activated Windows 8,
- I made a recovery-point,
- I took my external DVD writer, installed Office 2007 Home and Student for her (o.k, I know it's old, but it's very o.k - and legal copy -. for her study, used it myself as well and still do, and never any complaints about that one), and activated it,
After that and restarting the notebook;
- the notebeek activated USB 2.0 (it does that automatically at first use),
- installed XPS2OneNote (to use for Office OneNote 2007),
- installed SaveAsPDF&XPS,
- removed Norton Internet Security (I never use it, I use something else for that purpose, but was - and still am - planning to install that on a later moment),
- I made sure the notebook can access the server we have here at home, and made a share for her.
After that I used the OJ_AIO_J6400_Full_Win_WW_140_408.exe file (Dutch, but I'll translate the text in English).
From this point on I will describe as precisely as possible what happened
- - the program extracts some files, no problems there,
- - when the first screen appears, I pressed 'Install',
- - a bar appears, and after that another pop-up that says tha you must allow all HP processes. I pressed 'Next',
- - system is controlled, and after that one must agree with the licence agreements. I checked the box, and pressed 'Next',
- - the system is prepared for installation and - yes! - there it comes... an error message.
The error message says:
C:\users\<username of my daughter.\AppData\Local\Temp\7zS0FF0\Setup\de..
Please not that this is a different message than the one I got before, as I described in my posting before, (link again: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Install-Setup/Officet-J6410-won-t-install-under-Wind...
Nonehteless, I assumed that, as before, the problem was with the C+++, just like before. That is why I made the following steps:
- I used the OJ_AIO_J6400_140_408_Scrubber program, run L4 4 times.
- I looked for the KB2565063 update, but it isn't there anymore. So, instead, I ran all updates there are until the system said that there are no updates to be found,
- After that I took the old installation disk that came with the OfficeJet J6410 printer, and (tried to) ran hpsetup.exe. It doesn't do a thing! Literally!!
- after that I tried to run the the OJ_AIO_J6400_Full_Win_WW_140_408.exe file again. No success. I got the same error as before (see above, the ..\7zS0FF0\Setup\de.. thing again.
So, what to do now?
Anyone got some helpfull tips for me? I would really appreciate your feedback / help.
Thank you in advance,

Hi again,
No, it didn't work. And, the solution you offered neither.
This is what I've done.
After downloading the OJ_AIO_J6400_Full_Win_WW_140_408-4.exe file, I tried to install it.
It failed. I got an error message similar to the one before.
'C:\users\<username of my daughter.\AppData\Local\Temp\7zS57DB\Setup\de.'
I tried to ran the scrubber again, and the CCCUninstaller and tried again.
Same error message occured.
After that I tried to look for the KB2565063 file again. Found it this time and ran the vcredist_x64 file.
I rebooted the system, tried to run the OJ_AIO_J6400_Full_Win_WW_140_408-4.exe file again.
Same error message ocuured.
So, after that, I followed the steps you proposed.
Step 2 - searching for hpoins*.dat --> no results found.
Step 3 - searching for hpwins*.dat --> no results found.
Step 4 - I ran the Run Dialog box and typed MSIEXEC /REGSERVER (with AND without the extra space between ('MSIEXEC /REGSERVER') in the Dialog Box and pressed Ok.
Got an error message in Dutch:
'Kan het bestand MSIEXEC /REGSERVER niet vinden. Controleer of u de naam juist hebt ingevoerd en probeer het daarna opnieuw.
Translation: 'Can't find the file MSIEXEC /REGSERVER. Check if you typed the name correctly and try again'.
Step 5 - I ran the Run Dialog box and typed MSIEXEC /UNREGISTER (with AND without the extra space between ('MSIEXEC /UNREGISTER') in the Dialog Box and pressed Ok.
Got an error message in Dutch:
'Kan het bestand MSIEXEC /UNREGISTER niet vinden. Controleer of u de naam juist hebt ingevoerd en probeer het daarna opnieuw.
Translation: 'Can't find the file MSIEXEC /UNREGISTER. Check if you typed the name correctly and try again'.
So... conclusion: NOTHING worked.
My ideas for a possible solution didn't work, and neither did your ideas for a possible solution.
Reason why I want it to work is because of the HP Solution Center. If I can not install it with the software from the original installation disk, or the software that one can download from the HP site (the OJ_AIO_J6400_Full_Win_WW_140_408-4.exe file that is), than I have no HP Solution Center. That would be a pity, for I am sure my daughter would really love the use and ease of the program, and would really use it a lot for her study.
What's next? What else can I try to solve the problem?
Got any more idea's or helpful hints?
Thanks in advance,

HP Pavilion P2-1013w Desktop PC - UEFI Install with WIndows 8.1 Pro RTM causes hang

I have an HP Pavilion P2-1013W Desktop PC with the UEFI enabled bios.
With Windows 8.1 Pro RTM Build (MSDN Download available now from Microsoft - Released September 17th 2013 - Again,. this is 8.1, a.k.a. Windows Blue RTM)
SATA Mode is set to AHCI
BIOS is UEFI Enabled
I boot from the Windows 8.1 Pro USB Installation Media using the UEFI: USB Storage option, Windows Setup starts. I get to the partitions screen, remove the partitions then click New. Windows Setup creates the 4 Partitions (Recovery, MSR, System and Primary) as expected.
When I click Next and Setup begins to copy files, the system locks up. The mouse pointer stops moving, keyboard is unresponsive, and it will sit at 0% for as long as it's left on.
After checking, Microsoft makes a few notes about the requirements. Setup will not run if the OS does not match the UEFI 'bitness'. If this were the issue, I would get a text-mode message about it being the wrong architecture. I don't get that. I get the install wizard, so it is supported.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh824898.aspx Has more information.
And I suspect this is a version problem as the original Windows 7 install was a UEFI install, not Legacy. It appears the BIOS firmware I have installed is not compatible with Windows 8.1.
Will an update be made available? Or will I have to revert to WIndows 7 UEFI, and upgrade?

Error 0x80070015 on clean install of windows 8.1 enterprise

Hi, I am receiving and error 0x80070015 when trying to do a clean install of windows 8.1 enterprise evaluation on to a newly built PC. I am installing from a USB stick to a brand new SSD running in ACHI mode. Each time the installation reaches
12% on the 'getting files ready for installation' I receive this error message. The first time I tried the installation I also got an error message 0x800703ee but this has now stopped.
Please go easy on me, I'm not an IT pro, I want to check out windows 8.1 on this new build to decide if I want to go with it or stick with Windows 7 on this and my other work PC.
Any advice gratefully received.
Thanks, Simon

Hi,
Error code 0x80070015 usually means "device not ready" and is often seen when the USB drive or disc is having issues.
Please re-create a bootable USB or DVD to check the results.
Another thing is that there might be some SATA clash on your system with the new SSD connected. Please try to enter the WinRE from your USB drive and try following commands to create new partition:
1. Use Diskpart command line to show the partition on your disk:
Run CMD as Administrator, type following command line one by one:
DISKPART
List Disk
Select Disk 0
2. Delete the system partition (if there is, it can be about 100~200MB) and C partition, delete these 2:
List Partition
Select Partition 0 (I suspect that there is the system partition on this disk and it’s the partition 0)
Delete Partition
Select Partition 1 (I suspect that this is the C drive)
Delete Partition
3. Create new one.
Create Partition Primary
4. Try to restart system via installation disk and reinstall Windows 8 on it.
For detailed information about this command, you can refer to this article:
DISKPART:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc770877(v=ws.10).aspx
If the issue persists, please run Check disk tool in WinRE:
CHKDSK /R /F
Any error message, please post back.
Hope these could be helpful.

Clean install of windows 8 crashing with BSoD: "attempted execute of noexecute memory"

I recently bought this computer (sorry for hyperlink, but it is much easier than trying to list all the components):
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883227593
I added a Samsung 840 EVO 250gb SSD to it, and then I attempted to do a clean install of windows 8.1 onto the SSD from
the reinstall DVD that came with the system. Windows 8.1 appears to install correctly, but when the computer restarts to load windows for the first time, I get a BSoD with the error "attempted execute of noexecute memory". I tried reinstalling, but
got the same error.
Note that for testing purposes, I installed windows 7 on the SSD, and it works great. Unfortunately, I do not have a windows
7 key, so this is only a temporary solution. I would like to figure out how to get windows 8.1 on the SSD and running on the my computer.
Thank you in advance for any help or advice that you can give me.
