Want to install Windows 7 64 bit to DV4T-5200

I'll keep it short - my wife hates Windows 8.  She also hates 8.1.  
I am trying to install Windows 7 64 bit to her DV4T-5200 laptop, and I have never had so much trouble getting an OS installed before.  Does anyone know what BIOS settings I need to enable and disable to get this to install.
I have gotten all the way to the last step of the installation (media I am using is DVD) and get "windows setup could not configure windows to run on this computer's hardware" message.
The thing is, there HP has Windows 7 drivers on the support page for this laptop... so it doesn't seem like I should be unable to perform this installation.
Any ideas would be great.  I am on day 3.  I predict by day 5 she will fully process the fact that I have completely killed her laptop.  Life will be worse.  LOL.  : )

Ok, I understand that Windows 7 includes SP1 and I guess it is not possible to create aUSB install Windows 7 "UEFI mode"

  • Satellite L300-14G - Want to install Windows 7 32 bit

    Can anyone help?
    I have a Satellite L 300-14G with a terrible copy of windows 7 on it (unable to update occasionally, validation issues, etc.).
    I think It still has the vista recovery partition on the HDD (its a 1.46GB OEM Healthy Partition) but because its running Win 7 I can't access it.
    Everytime i try to go into the diagnostic (safe mode option) there's no option for a factory restore i've tried holding '0' whilst powering up but nothing.
    I really want Win 7 32 bit on it & i was hoping there is some sort of Toshiba Win 7 32 bit installation disc similar to what Dell use (that says Dell on the disc) that only works on Toshiba PC's for a fresh, clean install.
    Can anyone help?

    After clean OS installation, in your case Win7, recovery option will disappear and you will not be able to use recovery installation option. Generally speaking your saved recovery image is useless now.
    Joe is right. If you want to have original recovery disc you can order Vista OS only. All you can do is to install clean Win7 option using Microsoft disc. All drivers, tools and utilities you can find on Toshiba download page - http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
    Long time ago Ive installed Win7 32bit on friends L300 and it runs perfectly.
    Important info: if you will decide to install on version you must buy new licence. Product key at the bottom of your notebook cannot be used for OS activation.

  • Install windows 7 32-bit using boot-camp on snow-leopard

    I have Snow-Leopard running on my MacBook. I want to install Windows 7 32-bit Professional. I have already purchased copy of Windows from Amazon. I never'ed install Windows on my MacBook till date, so I don't know what to do, and how to install it.
    Please share your experiences of installing Windows using Boot-Camp. I need screen-shots or video that can help me with installation.

    Windows 7 requires Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard and the Boot Camp 3.1 Update. For complete system requirements information, see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1899
    The 3.1 update is here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL996
    The 3.2 update is here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1333
    Here's a couple of sites that helped me when I used Boot Camp to install Windows XP.

    2011 MacBook Pro, 64 bit i7 quad core, upgraded to Lion OSx, Bootcamp installed with Windows 7, wanting to install Windows 8 (don't ask), tried downloading/installing bootcamp 5.0.5033 (both on the mac/windows partitions (actually using a parallel to run Windows)), error message something similar to bootcamp doesn't support this Windows
    So the question is am I doing something wrong? Should I just try and install windows 8 through my windows 7 partition and see if I can use the bootcamp 5.05033. Or do I solely have to use the bootcamp to install Windows 8? I'm not too familiar with bootcamp and how it runs.

    if you're using parallels and full bootcamp then you're making it 100% more troublesome for youself then it needs to be
    bootcamp is running windows directly on the hardware this give full memory and cpu and 3d video game power
    running windows in parallels is running a virtual machine where one can't run powerful games and the like but one can have it in a window and change fast between osx and windows
    parallels as the only virutal machine (as far as I know) support not have the operating system as a file on the osx harddisk but can access a bootcamp parition as virtual machine but without the benefits bootcamps provides
    it's a service parallels provide for those who want both to play games in normal bootcamp and sometimes use windows in a virutal machine
    just install it like a normal virtual machine and you need not worry about bootcamp drivers and the likes
    plus it would mean that the windows part would be a part of the timemachine bacup of osx
    which it is not when it's in bootcamp

  • Hey. I want to install windows 8 32bit on my mac pro (mid 2012). I upgraded the windows 7 I already had, but now I dont have drivers at all... I searched drivers for the windows 8 32 bit but couldn't find any... Any solutions guys?

    Hey everyone, 
    I want to install windows 8 32bit on my mac pro (mid 2012). I upgraded the windows 7 I already had, but now I dont have drivers at all...
    I searched drivers for the windows 8 32 bit but couldn't find any...
    Any solutions guys?
    Thanks a lot.
    Sincerely,
    Chiponn

    There's been an update for OSX ML which addresses the issue for installing Windows 8 on bootcamp.
    It's NOT recommended that you Upgrade.. However, the way to get the drivers is:
    You'll need an external USB drive formatted as FAT for this.
    1) In OSX, start the Bootcamp Assistant
    2) Press Next
    3) UNTICK 'Remove WIndows 7 or Later Version'
    4) TICK Download the Latest Windows Support Software from Apple
    5) Insert USB drive
    6) Press CONTINUE
    The drivers should download, and copy a WIndowsSupport folder onto the USB drive.
    I did notice that Windows 8 still requires beta drivers for some aspects such as VGA (the Radio HD Card), which you can get on the AMD website.
    Futhermore, why are you using Windows 8 "32" bit when you blatently have a powerful 64bit?
    Anyway, hope this post helps ;-)

  • Installing Windows 7 64 Bit Upgrade on a Multi-disk Mac Pro

    A lot of the information I found to help me with this issue scattered all around so I thought I'd consolidate it in one place.
    The situation: I wanted to install Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit on my boot camp partition. Windows Vista Ultimate 32 bit was already installed.
    My System:
    Mac Pro (early 2008)
    2x Quad Core 3.0GHZ Zeon Processors
    12GB Ram
    3x 500GB Hard Drives
    OS X 10.6.2
    Boot Camp Assistant: 3.0.1
    The Issues:
    1.You cannot directly update a previous 32 bit installation with a 64 bit installation. You have to do a clean install.
    2.If you do a clean install with an upgrade disk it will most likely not activate.
    3.Windows 7 does not like more than 4 partitions. More than 4 it will fail to install.
    4.Windows 7 does not like GPT (GUID Partition Table) disks and will fail to install if it detects one.
    What worked for me after a fair number of false starts:
    1.Put the Windows 7 Installation disk in your DVD drive.
    2.Start Boot Camp Assistant and create a Boot Camp partition. I deleted my old Boot Camp partition prior to beginning. *DO NOT* start the install from the Boot Camp assistant. Once you create the Boot Camp Partition close the assistant.
    3.Power down your computer. (Remember the Windows DVD is in the drive, leave it there.)
    4.Remove any extraneous drives that are GPT or cause you to have more than 4 partitions. I installed on my second hard drive and removed the 1st and 3rd.
    5.Restart your Mac holding down the “c” key to make it boot from the Windows install disk that is in the DVD drive.
    6.Once the Windows Installer is active do a “Custom” installation.
    7.Use the Installer utilities to format the Boot Camp partition as NTFS.
    8.Install Windows 7 on that partition, but do not try to activate it at this time.
    9.When Windows restarts you may have to hold down the “Option” key (Alt if you are using a PC Keyboard) and select the Windows restart disk.
    10.Once you boot into Windows do all of the updates.
    11.Once the updates are done, make sure you are booted into Windows and call Microsoft support and explain the issue (doing a clean installation with an upgrade disk.) The issue is very common and not specific to Mac users so they will pass you to Tech support and help you activate your copy of Windows.
    12.Download (from Windows) the Boot Camp update and install it.
    13.You should be fine at this point, at least I sincerely hope so
    14. I also had a sound issue but that was resolved by downloading the latest Realtek HD Audtio Manager and wiggling the sound jack where my stereo system was plugged in, the RCA jack in the back of the system.
    (Note: I haven't been able to locate my Boot Camp program or tray like I had on my Vista installation. I' haven't really looked. It isn't that big a hassle to hold down the “Option” key when I restart and just pick the OS I want to boot into.)
    I hope this helps anyone that is having issues similar to what I experienced.

    Not always. I tried. Easier to reinstall Windows 7 over itself, activated fine. Or just do the legal thing and buy full copy. Mac Pro owners that want dual processor support need Pro or Ultimate (Enterprise also) rather than Home Premium.
    I would NOT use Boot Camp 3.1, it causes problems for number of Mac Pro owners, though maybe not all so unclear what/why) but just stay with Boot Camp 3.0x from the Snow Leopard DVD (which can have trouble with AppleHFS)

  • Error related to EFI system..unable to install windows 7 64-bit on lenovo g580..

    Hi,
    I have Lenovo g580 which had DOS preinstalled in it {i5, 500GB, 4GB} and initially I had installed Win 7 32-bit on it. At that time, it gave some problem while rebooting 1st time, but i ran repair windows option and everything ran smoothly.
    But the problem came when I tried to install windows 7 64-bit on the laptop using a DVD, no matter which drive I select, it does not allow me to go ahead. When I checked the details, I got the error message which is attached here.
    Link to image
    There is no disk controller option in BIOS, nor is there anything related tto UEFI systems.
    i did r&d on uefi systems, but i want to be sure of everything before i go ahead with anything.
     Any help would be appreciated.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thanks for no help guyz!
    but i found a way..so for anybody else out there..here is the solution..
    When installing at the partition screen hit Shift+F10.
    At the prompt type diskpart and press Enter.
    Type list disk (Not the number of the disk you want to use)
    Type select disk X where is X is the number of the disk you want to use.
    Type clean. This will erase all the data on your system.
    Type convert gpt
    Now reboot the system with the DVD/USB, and you will see only Unallocated Space. Use that to install the new windows.
    Be warned though, this will clear out the partition table on the drive; make sure you have a backup before attempting this if you have important data

  • Can I install Windows 7 64-bit on my mid-2007 dual quad core "Clovertown"?

    Hi all,
    I want dearly to install Windows 7 64-bit on my MacPro, but the only online compatibility information says bootcamp 3.1 for 64-bit works with "early 2008" Macs and not "mid-2006" Macs. I'm stuck in between, for I purchased a mid-2007 MacPro with dual quad core Clovertown processors, which are 64-bit. I'm unsure though if I will run into problems trying to use Bootcamp 3.1 in this case (I have Snow Leopard as well). I've called Apple support several times and they basically say they are not sure, but don't see why it wouldn't work. Any thoughts from the group?
    Cheers,
    Ben

    Hello please can you help me I have purchased a HP envy 17-J141NA notebook PC on the understanding from a person from HP that I can install windows 7 / 64 bit on this computer.

  • Installing Windows 7 64-Bit Using BootCamp on Mac Pro 2,1 (Early 2007)

    Hi everybody,
    I have Mac Pro 2,1 (early 2007) 8-core, my OS X is 10.6.4, I couldn’t install Windows 7 64-Bit on BootCamp separate drive (as my Mac Pro 2,1 is not supported for this installation by Apple). I am seeking help if anyone find a trick to do that task. Your help on this will be highly appreciated.

    I was waiting to see if the original poster was still intent on going through with it, since it's (a) lot of work, and (b) an unsupported configuration. Unless he's using > 4GB of memory I'm not sure why he needs the 64 bit version of Win7 (there's even less reason to run 64-bit Windows as a VM). I'm not prepared to assume the responsiblity of solving any/all current and future problems he may run into, especially if this is for "work" and not a hobby-level, "I just want Win7-64bit" situation. If he's reading this and wants to proceed -
    The Jowie page, while workable, requires a more steps (i.e. even more work); plus, the screenshots used are from an earlier release of imgburn, which has different options from the current version, and if the original poster needs that much handholding he could be put off.
    Win7 AIK is "needed" because of the oscdimg.exe that is included. It is the "official Microsoft sanctioned" way of generating Windows ISO images. It's a one-line command that outputs an ISO image file once you have the Win7 disc in the drive, no need to muck about checking/unchecking boxes etc., and running the risk of burning coasters (since there's no way of knowing whether your output works until you actually run it, and imgburn has too many ways of messing up when you don't know what you're doing).
    There are alternate "direct" sources for oscdimg.exe, which are smaller downloads than Win7 AIK http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=696dd665-9f76-4177-a 811-39c26d3b3b34&displaylang=en , but I'm a little chary of "programs sourced from unidentified hosts", even though I'm certain most of them are just being helpful and are not malicious (have you read Ken Thompson's Reflections on Trusting Trust - http://cm.bell-labs.com/who/ken/trust.html )
    If the original poster (or anyone else reading) is interested, either the jowie.com method can be used, if you are averse to a command line or have poor download bandwidth, or you can get oscdimg.exe (however you choose to do so) and execute:
    oscdimg -n -m -bd:\boot\etfsboot.com d:\ c:\iso\win7dvd.iso
    assuming oscdimg.exe is in your path (or your current directory), and you've created a directory c:\iso
    Incidentally, after getting 64-bit Win7 installed your problems aren't over yet, because Boot Camp will refuse to install the 64 bit version on your "unsupported" machine. There is a workaround (see my post in the thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2589967&tstart=0 ) but I do not know if there will be a future release of Boot Camp that would defeat this.

  • I want to instal windows 7 using bootcamp on my mac book pro and how large do i have to make the partition if i want to use it for gaming?

    i want to instal windows 7 using bootcamp on my mac book pro and how large do i have to make the partition if i want to use it for gaming?

    "At least 16 GB of free space on the disk onto which you’re installing for 32-bit, or 20 GB for 64-bit (for Microsoft Windows and Windows-based applications)."
    That's what Apple proposes in here Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows
    Personally I would double these amounts and add to that the diskspace needed for your Windows games.

  • Want to install Windows on my MacBook...am I out of luck?

    Hi guys,
    So I have a Late 2008 Unibody 13" MacBook ("MacBook 5,1") which I recently upgraded by installing Mavericks (previously had Snow Leopard.)
    I want to install Windows on a partition via Boot Camp. Previously, I had Windows XP installed, but I had deleted the Boot Camp partition to free up space for my Mac HD prior to upgrading to Mavericks.
    But now I see that the new version of Boot Camp that comes with Mavericks (Version 5.1.0) has dropped support for Windows XP.
    Moreover, this page on Apple's support website tells me that Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 are not supported on my MacBook model: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634
    So, am I screwed? Is there no version of Windows that can work with my MacBook model (MacBook 5,1) and Boot Camp 5.1.0?
    Please help!

    UPDATE: I'm happy to report that Windows 7 64-bit does work perfectly with Boot Camp on my machine!
    To help out anyone else who might need to install Windows 7 64-bit on their MacBook, I will outline what I did below. Please note that the following instructions worked for me on my system (MacBook 5,1 Late 2008 Aluminum Unibody 13", Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz, GeForce 9400M GPU, 8 GB RAM running OSX Mavericks and Boot Camp 5.10); I don't know if they will apply to any other MacBook models. Since my MacBook comes with an inbuilt DVD drive, I didn't need to create a bootable USB version of Windows; I simply used a (legitimate) Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit installation disc and product key.
    1. Back up your important files on OSX using your favorite backup method.
    2. Download the Boot Camp Support Software version 4.0.4033 here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1630. These are the drivers you need to install in Windows 7 to get your OS to recognize and use your hardware.
    3. Unzip the zip file from the previous step and copy the contents (the folder named "BootCamp") to an empty USB stick that is FAT-formatted (to format the USB, you can use Disk Utility in OSX.)
    4. Safely eject the USB once the folder has been copied onto it.
    5. Insert your Windows 7 64-bit installation disc into your DVD drive.
    6. Start Boot Camp Assistant.
    7. Uncheck the box that tells you to download Windows support software (you have already done so; it's on your USB stick.)
    8. Proceed with partitioning. Once finished, the computer will restart and Windows 7 installation should begin.
    9. Hurdle 1: When the installation process for Windows 7 started up and the program asked me which partition I wanted to install Windows on, it wouldn't initially allow me to select the Boot Camp partition. I had to select that partition and click on "Format" first before it allowed me to install Windows onto it.
    10. Windows 7 installation should proceed normally.
    11. Once you have loaded into you Desktop, it is time to install the support software (i.e. drivers) from your USB. Insert the USB and copy the BootCamp folder onto your desktop. If you don't have an external mouse, pressing Shift-F10 will do the the same thing as right-clicking.
    12. Hurdle 2: After copying the zip file containing the Boot Camp drivers to the desktop, I tried installing them via the setup file but got the error message "Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model". This is a LIE! To fix this, I first disabled the User Account Control (Start>Control Panel>User Accounts>Change User Account Control Settings>set to "Never Notify.") Then I rebooted. After rebooting, I navigated to the zip file BootCamp>Drivers>Apple>BootCamp.msi and it installed all the Boot Camp drivers perfectly. I rebooted again as per the installation process requirements.
    13. Run Windows Update to get all of Microsoft's updates, including Service Pack 1 (took me hours...)
    14. Hurdle 3: After updating my NVIDIA GPU (GeForce 9400M) driver to the most recent driver version (334.89 WHQL) via their automatic update program, I lost the ability to control my screen brightness (pressing the brightness keys brought up the brightness level indicator, but did not affect the actual screen brightness.) To fix this, I had to do the following:
    14a. Go to Control Panel>Hardware and Sound>Device Manager>Monitor>Right-click Generic PnP Display and DISABLE it.
    14b. Open regedit by typing "regedit" in the Start menu search bar.
    14c. Navigate to the following sub key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control/Class/Video/0000
    14d. Create a new DWORD named "EnableBrightnessControl" and set its value to be 1.
    14e. Reboot.
    After having done all this, Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 64-bit works flawlessly on my MacBook. I'm also happy to say that Guild Wars 2 runs quite well on low settings, which was the whole point of going through this.
    I hope this thread is useful to others.

  • Cannot get Photoshop Elements 10 Trial to Install - Windows 7 64-bit

    Hi,
    I cannot get Photoshop Elements 10 Trial to Install - Windows 7 64-bit.  I downloaded the trail of Photoshop CS6 just fine.  I am trying to download the trial of Photoshop Elements 10.  I get the adobe installer window and I login in and select my PSE 10 Trial and the installation begins and I have it saved to my desktop.  When the installation finishes nothing happens.  There is a Photoshop Elements folder on my desktop but it is empty.  I have tried a couple of time with the same result.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Hi Ken,
    I apologize for not making myself clear.  What I meant by "saving to desktop" was when I I went to download the the trial of PSE 10 the install window will ask me where I want to save the file.  It is defaulted (highlighted) to save to "my documents" but I selected to save the file to my desktop.  I tried to install the trial of Photoshop Elements 10 again and this time it did install and is working.
    Thanks again for responding.

  • Install Windows 7 64 bit as only OS on Mac Pro

    Ok, I'm hugely disappointed with Snow Leopard development. First you still get stuck with 32 bit kernel since there are no official 64 bit drivers for my printers, scanners, cameras. Second Photoshop CS 3 does not work with it, and no version of Nikon Capture NX works either (apart from it being 32 bit anyway). So my option is to stay with Leopard (with chess as only 64 bit app), or alternatively to go Windows 7 64 bit on my Mac Pro and try to take full advantage of all the hardware I spent thousands of dollars on (since there is 64 bit Photoshop and Capture NX works as well, and there are 64 bit drivers for my peripherals), and the OS can actually use all 32 GB.
    So, my question is has anyone successfully installed Windows 7 64 bit as the only OS? Did you have any issues? In particular, are there any issues with DVD ejection, and screen brightness control? Are there official Apple drivers for these devices for Windows 7 64 bit?

    You don't get 64-bit software until there is demand, and a need, and the hardware to further that development.
    Game developers are finding they can work and compile much more efficiently.
    Snow Leopard is a launching point, not a destination. Efficient use of more than 2-4 cores is going to take time.
    And Intel is there helping companies and bring out refinements in compilers. Then add 1-2 yrs to actually deploy, plus the time to master those tools, and not everyone will or can.
    Adobe built their code on Carbon code foundation - a big mistake - and reached the end of where that takes them. Their CS4 Windows is 64-bit, CS5 for Mac OS will or might be but ground up rework into Cocoa code, however OS X does a lot to help use memory, but if you aren't working with 1-2-3GB files you may not.
    Nehalem has a lot more bandwidth, on the fly up clock of cpu. Nvidia GTX 200s also respond dymanic and dramatically to small demands to ram up GPU performance. Even launching a program kicks everything into high gear and you can see that charted with various tools (more easily in W7 than in OS X). And to recover to lower energy and heat as quickly. Going green to cut the costs of running servers and systems.
    The Mac Pro 2008 was the first with a full 64-bit Unified EFI (UEFI 2.x). Apple, Intel, Microsoft and other members of EFI Group only officially supported EFI on 64-bit post Vista SP1, which was less than 18 months ago, around the time the 2008 Mac Pro came out. That's pretty good.
    Yes, Mac OS uses a PA/E memory addressing.
    Microsoft used millions of beta users to help identify bottlenecks in drivers during W7 development. And 100s millions of Vista users along with help of Intel engineers in hardware and software. No reason that won't happen with Snow Leopard eventually.
    CUDA and GPGPU / Physix are not new, OpenCL is a new standard and name that may be more open to more types of uses and applications - over time.
    OS 9 had trouble with Finder. Funny enough, so has OS X, and now it is suppose to have gotten its own multi-thread makeover - it needed it badly and was/is the source of a lot of problems, lost threads or processes and getting lost. We'll have to see.
    I think there is a huge market today for a system built around the Core i7 with 2-4-6 cores and 6-12GB of memory with GTS 250 or above (not the entry level offered last year or the GT120 today).
    A lot of people don't want to leave XP which is 32-bit and how old is that? I think they'll like W7, if they invest in new hardware.
    Your time frame is not how systems evolve.
    What would you do you can't do now? very little is my bet. And when the Mac Pro came out 3 yrs ago, a lot of drivers broke and had to be re-engineered and vendors prefer evolution over revolution. The 2008 Mac Pro early on had a number of hardware issues dealing with power management. Happens every step of the way.
    Your Mac will probably still serve your needs, whether in 10.6.9 or 10.7 or Win7 and beyond.
