Win 7 install

If I buy a new Satellite laptop with Win 8 installed will I be successful in wiping the drive and installing Win 7 in it's place?

Hi,
I did that.  Actually, I have my C855 multi-booting, with Win8 (from a Win8 DVD installation), Win7, and Fedora.  I have the C855 BIOS set for legacy mode (not UEFI) and use a tool called Boot It NG (BING) to setup the partitions and for the multi-booting.
Make sure that you use Disk Creator first, to burn the recovery DVDs, though, before trying.
Jim
P.S.  You could probably use BCD/BCD Edit to do the multi-booting also, I think.

  • Wipe or Win repair install.

    Hello all,
     I hame having some problems installing some programs, want to get all this bloat ware off my machine, etc......was told to do a win repair install and someone also said to do a wipe.....not sure what the diff is. Will any of these fix missing or damaged files in my sys32 folder.  I do not mind installing all of my programs again, but I rather not have to install drivers, etc.    As usual, not type of disk was sold with my g570, so I guess I would have to get win 7 from somewhere....do I use my key on the bottom of laptop to somewhere download a new copy?
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  Is there a step by step somewhere that I could follow.
    Thanks for your help!

    This is what i posted before, just wanted more info before i do something to this laptop....besides this flash thing, it has been shutting down on its own several times a week, too much bloatware, the touchpad is the worst i have ever used.....other than these...not a bad laptop....
    Thanks again,

    Hi,
    Win 7, IE 9, 64 bit, virus off, logged on as admin, mscms.dll file is in the sys 32 folder. When I try to install Flash Player, I get an error that mscms.dll file is missing. Any ideas? Thansk, Jim
    tried to re-register the file and this was the error - module mscms.dll was loaded but the entry point DllregisterServer was not found.......make sure that "mscmd.dll" is a valid DLL or OCX file then try again
    also did a sfcscannow and these where the errors....

  • Black/Blank Screen with Boot Camp Win 7 Install on new 27" iMac

    I'm having a problem getting Windows 7 on a new 27" iMac and am familiar with the Boot Camp Windows installation process. Here's what I've done...
    1. Run Boot Camp from OSX, partition the drive.
    2. Insert Win 7 cd, proceed with installation.
    3. Computer restarts and the 'preparing for initial setup' message displays with the Win 7 splash screen. When it switches to where it should be displaying the Win 7 desktop, the screen is black.
    I can hear the Mac still running, but there's no display. It's like it's waiting for some type of user input for the intial Windows setup (haven't yet entered the key).
    I've done a hard shutdown and restarted Windows with the exact same result. After reboot, I get the 'Windows was not shut down properly' message with the 3 safe mode options, where choosing either gets me the 'Windows cannot complete setup in safe mode'. And any key reboots it.
    The Mac side still runs fine and holding the option key at start up gives the Mac/Win boot options.
    I'm inclined to think that it's a video driver issue since the 27" is brand new. Maybe Apple used a new video card for the larger screen and haven't updated the Boot Camp drivers. I checked on ATI's site for an updated driver for the Radeon HD 4670 they say is in the new 27" model that's currently available. (not the quad core)
    Is there any workaround for this? I was thinking of installing Vista instead, and upgrading to Win7 once installed, but if it's a driver thing, it would just be a long way to the same result and could have the same problem with Vista as well.
    Any ideas?

    I think I figured out what is happening here with the video drivers on the new iMac's and Win7. I believe it's re-directing the video to the mini display-port output when you see the screen go blank. I installed my Win7 x64 with no issues but I had an external monitor hooked up at the time and while it was installing the O/S my iMac went black but everything moved over to my external screen. Once it finished installing then everything went back to normal after a reboot.
    Not sure if that helps anyone but pretty sure that's what is going on. So if you have another monitor handy, get the mini display-port adaptor from Apple and connect your external screen before you install Win7. Cheers!
    P.S. If you have one of the new iMac's and want to install the latest Radeon drivers (after you have installed Win7 on your iMac), try the following. Download and install the drivers from ATI/AMD directly. They'll try to install and fail (no worries) but now the driver/install files will be unzipped into an ATI folder on your main Windows hard drive.
    Now go to this site: http://www.driverheaven.net/modtool.php and download the tool and use the Vista instructions listed on the main page of the URL above. You shouldn't need to download the MSXML 6.0 and I don't think you need to disable the UAC stuff like they suggest for Vista (I didn't) and it works fine. UAC is not nearly as intrusive on Win7 as it is in Vista so I think that's why it worked for me and pretty sure the MSXML 6.0 is already in Win7. Once the program has modified the mobile Radeon drivers then you can run "setup" from your ATI directory and the new drivers will finally install correctly including the Catalyst Control Center. Voila! I now have 9.10 drivers up and running on my new 27" iMac and working perfectly so far.

  • Error on win 7 install on iMac with 2 drives

    OK been round this a few times.
    iMac (i7)
    1Tb HD & 256 SSD
    used bootcamp to partition
    made it through win install
    and clikced Bootcamp partition, then advanced, then format.
    Finishes format and the I click
    NEXT
    error
    Windows is unable to install to the selected location.
    Error: 0x80300024
    Which someone online said is due to having more tha one drive.
    I dont really want to crack open the iMac and remove a drive.
    Suggestions?
    thanks
    b

    I haven't heard of any fix from Adobe but maybe this will hwlp.
    I kept getting an error this morning when trying to install Windows updates on my PC. One of the updates was trying to update Visual C++ (vc_red) from a folder on the C drive which was locked. The folder had a very long name (2f4b86.....). I kept getting a popup box pointing to the folder but it would not install the update from there. I had to copy the folder to the C:\Users\Public Downloads folder to get it to install. I mention this because vc_red seems to be involved with the previous Acrobat XI installation issue I had.
    I would try looking at your installed updated and see if you have either update installed.:
    Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package (KB2538242)
    Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package (KB2538243)
    Removing them may allow Acrobat XI to be installed.

  • WINE: Cannot install Internet Explorer 6 on 64-bit system

    Hi everyone
    I'm running the 64-bit version of Arch Linux, with WINE 1.3.2 from [multilib] and winetricks installed.
    When I try to install ie6 via winetricks (which I need for both work and a game I'm trying to install ), I get the following error message:
    The Windows Update: Internet Explorer and Internet Tools cannot be installed on this computer. This product does not install on 64-bit platforms.
    After closing this window (i.e. clicking OK), I get another error message, which informs me that "regsvr32.exe has encountered a serious error and needs to close."
    So, what gives? WineHQ shows claims of people being able to install it on a 64-bit Linux system; namely, Ubuntu and openSUSE... no Arch results, and I don't want to post "Garbage" if I'm doing something wrong here.
    If anyone would help me shed some light on this (and perhaps even fix it!) I'd be very grateful.
    Thanks in advance!

    I know about wine-gecko. However, that's not it
    edit: update to the problem: I've switched to bin32-wine-suse from AUR. Now I can install IE6, yay
    However, something's still bothering me.
    bin32-wine-suse complains about every wineprefix made by "stock" (multilib) WINE being a 64-bit environment, and thus impossible to work with.
    So the [multilib] WINE apparently makes a 64-bit Windows-like environment, whatever that would mean to them. I don't really think that's right, knowing how some apps - namely, IE6 and such - complain about this.
    Any ideas?

  • Can I resize my existing Bootcamp partition (leaving XP Pro behind) while doing a clean Win 7 install?

    I currently have a Bootcamp partition (30 Gb or so) running XP pro.  I want to switch to Win 7, which I understand requires a clean install since there is no upgrade path from XP directly to Win7.  While doing so I want to increase the size of my BC partition.  (I'm offloading iTunes and iPhoto to external drives and freeing up 60+ Gb so I can make a bigger partition)
    Do I just run Bootcamp Assistant and do the deed as if I were starting from scratch, but specify a larger partition?
    The full scenario is that I have an HP laptop running Win7, and XP pro in Bootcamp.  I want to swap them.  Any advice on the process?  Activate/Deactivate/Reactivate dance.  I realize this is a Windows question, but someone may have done this before.
    Thanks for any help. 

    contrary to kappy, you can buy and use CampTune to resize.
    you can't use a HP install on Mac.
    you need a retail Win7 to activate on a different motherboard.
    Start from scratch. Anything else is likely to have problems.

  • Error message when running HD-DVD player after clean win 7 install on P205-S6347

    On a P205-S6347, did clean win 7 ultimate install with toshiba instructions and loadup software downloaded from toshiba support.  On first dvd player install of latesed full player, got a video eror.  Installed latets patch, now I get "An error has occured in the audio output settings. Please check thet the sound driver is set up properly" The sound playes fine for all other programs/utilities.  Note, I am running USB powered Logitec external speakers.  I have tried to follow all the recomendations of others with this problem, yet nothng works, unless I'm not using the right software, yet I only use whats on the site for the model and OS.  The reason that I want to use this OEM player is that I havent found a comparable player that does just that, playes DVD's like a home unit, complete with menu access as a physical player would and that the moving cursers only seem to work with the Toshiba player, whereas others like VLC and Kantaris will only show one moving curser on a menue and I have to guess where the next one is to slick it to start, and Real Player isnt any better either.  Other problems I've had with other players are that the graphics seem a bit hazy sometimes, I never have that problem with the Toshiba player.  Also, others have way to many bells and whistles, I only want a player that works doing that specific job.  I wish Toshiba would package a universal player that could be installed with all that it needs to run itself.  Any Ideas folks?

    Try to use the command ipconfig /renew in the cms (command dos box)
    Also try this:
    Control Panel > Administration Tools > Computer Management > Services & Applications > Services.
    Scroll down this list to find 'WLAN Auto Config'
    Double click on 'WLAN Auto Config' On the general tab, select from the start up type drop down menu, select 'Automatic'. Under Service Status click on 'Start'. Then 'Apply' these settings and exit from all open control panel windows.
    Otherwise uninstall the Realtek driver in the device manager.
    Then reboot the notebook.
    Download the Realtek WLan driver again and install it.

  • Lost radio tuner with Win 7 install

    Hello,
      I recently installed Win 7 over Vista on my HP M8100n  desktop. The radio tuner no longer works on the Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1600 NTSC/ATSC combo card, through Windows Media Center. The TV tuner still works fine. When opening the radio application in WMC, a small window opens saying "To play FM radio, you must first install a radio tuner". I have tried the Hauppauge driver 18drv_28021. 
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

  • Info about Win 7 instalation

    Hi,
    I have recently bought a new hard drive and now i will install win 7.
    My question is, when I bought my T60 it came with all the thinkvantage tehcnologies instaled but now i don't know how to do it. I'm refering mostly to the 15Gb drive of rescue and recovery and all that stuff. How can I install all that software with a new hard drive with out any backup or migration??
    I don't know if i'm posting in the right section.
    Thanks
    Moderator: Edited subject for clarity.

    If you're talking about the recovery partition on the hard drive, you will not be able to install that. You are doing a clean install of Win7.
    If you want to install the TVT software and other Lenovo software on your laptop, I recommend downloading the TVSU (ThinkVantage System Update) tool from this website:
    http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=TVSU-UPDATE
    Be sure to install version 4.0 as it works only with Windows 7. This utility can assist you in locating and updating some of your  missing drivers and/or programs.
    Good luck,

  • Upcoming new Win 7 install - what do I need to get LR installed on new build?

    Hi there,
    I've been a LR user since the pre version 1 days when Pixmantec came on board. Have most recently upgraded my license to 3 and am running 3.2 presently.
    All of my installations have been on the same PC (running XP).
    I am soon going to build a new PC that will run Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit. The build will have new drives (2 SSD drives for OS/apps, working space; and a 2TB HDD for RAW/TIFF storage - backup will be to an external 2TB HDD).
    As this will be a completely new installation and not an update, do I need to contact Adobe in advance to get LR installed? I have all the old setup files for versions 1, 2 and 3, along with my original purchase receipts emails and activation numbers.
    Thanks,
    Dave M

    If you plan on copying the catalog folder from the old machine to the new one, once you have done so go ahead and check the permissions for the catalog folder to make sure the user account you will be using has full conrol over the folder. Otherwise Lightroom may crash whenever trying to open or modify the catalog. Log in as the top level account if you have more than one user account, make it the owner of the folder and and make sure any other accounts that use the program have full control over the folder. You can do that in the folder's Properties/Security tab.

  • How to install firefox instead of explorer on a freash win xp install

    I am rebuilding my win xp pro pc after a trojan horse killed it (it was ugly!). I want to avoid installing Internet Explorer at all and install Firefox as my only browser. How can I get a complete installation file so I can run it from a disc and get on the web without any other browser installed on my computer. I don't know if this is possible or not, but I hope it is. The only other computer that I have is a MAC portable and I can't get to Windows possibilities on the Firefox site. Any one got any help for me? thanks, Michael

    Open this link in your File Explorer: http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.6.15/win32/en-US/ This is an FTP link and it doesn't require a web browser to work. Once you download the installer ''Firefox_Setup_3.6.15.exe'', you can launch it to install Firefox. See also [[Installing Firefox]] for more details.

    However this board doesn't seem to support a floppy drive so I can't load AHCI drivers with F6.
    There are several guides on the web for doing this with Intel chipsets, but not for AMD.
    Can anyone advise me how to do this with my board and its chipset?.
    Thank you.

    Have you tried putting the files on a usb drive?
    Using WinToFlash, I copied the slipstreamed XP install CD to a bootable USB key. However, I get exactly the same 'amd_sata.sys is corrupt' message while the install is loading drivers. I tried this with the BIOS SATA mode, first as AHCI, and then IDE, with the same result.

    Not sure if this will work with xp, try it and let me know.
    I haven't tried this, but reading the m$ download page carefully says to me that this is a tool to allow the install of W7 only from a USB key.
    The reference to XP seems to me to be saying that you can run the tool on an XP machine, not that you can use the tool to install XP.
    When I tried to download the Image API utility (I am running on an XP machine), I couldn't  get Genuine.exe to run, so I can't try it anyway.
    So, where do I go from here, anyone?
    Is it worth trying to use an AMD driver, instead of the MSI one?
    Also, my BIOS is at v19.3 - should I change to 19.7?

  • Anyone create a step list for a Win 7clean install for a W500?

    I will be performing a clean install of Win 7 Home Premium edition on a new hard drive at the end of the week.  I am currently compliling all the drivers I anticipate I may need (although Win 7 will probably load most of them automatically).  I have read a few threads about performing a clean install on a W500.  Has anyone created a step procedure and the drivers that will be necessary?  Thanks in advance.

    I think this link will help:
