Windows XP 64 bit pro clean install with RAID

Can anyone help out???
I recently purchased a Lenovo Thinkpad W700 with the raid system (raid1) it had Vista Business pre installed but I wasn't impressed so I've cleared VB out and tried to install XP 64 pro I have followed the guide I found on this site http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=188992
which was very informative but didnt seem to include any details on a raid installation. If I change my BIOS Serial ata (sata) to compatibility I can install win xp and get it running but no raid!! if I try to install the Intel chipset driver it reports it cannot install!! If I set the Bios Serial ATA to RAID the setup goes so far through then I get the BSOD
I seems to me I need some raid drivers but have no way of installing them during setup (I dont have the drivers anyway!!)
Sooooo...........can anyone out there point me in the right direction for a clean xp pro install with raid?? theres a couple of beers in it!!
Lenovo thinkpad W700, Q9000 2.00GHz Quad Core 2x 160gb hdd raid1, 4gb ram, 1gb nvidia graphics FX3700m Fingerprint reader, Graphics tablet (digitiser?)
Windows 7 Professional 64bit RAID 1

I believe you need to install the Intel Matrix Storage Manager Driver for Windows XP, Vista (32bit) - ThinkPad. Installation instructions are on the same site. If you don't have a floppy you can streamline them onto an install disk.
Other drivers can be found here.

Black Screen After Windows 8 64-bit Upgrade (Clean Install) on TouchSmart IQ508A (IQ500 series)

Hi there,
Just installed Windows 8 and am getting a black screen after booting up like many others. I currently have disabled the graphics driver and this has solved the black screen issue but I can no longer use my web cam for Skype (although web cam works for W8 Camera App oddly).
To date I have tried the following:
Loading up the latest Nvidia drivers from the Nvidia website
Attempting to use the drivers for Windows 7 both in compatability mode and normally. I unzipped SP44488 to get this working
I know many others are having this problem so I really would like someone from HP to respond and state whether a Windows 8 display driver for the Nvidia GE Force 9300M GS is being developed.
I ran the compatability wizard prior to the clean install and it came up with no issues so I am very disappointed I am having these problems.
I've found out that HP have a customised version of the above card so that explains why the Nvidia drivers dont work so I believe HP is therefore obligated to provide a driver.
If anyone else is having similar issues please respond as this will hopefully lead to more action.
cheers
Steve

I'm in the same boat. On my IQ804, the Nvidia GE Force 9300M GS card crashes when I use NVidia's latest Windows 8 driver and Microsoft's LIVE UPDATE drivers. I have to resort to the Standard VGA driver in order for the pc not to crash into a black screen.
I read on another forum you can try installing a July 2012 version of the driver from NVidia and that should solve the problem. I tried it once. Using the July 2012 version, the screen would stay on longer, but eventually it crashes into a black screen...but definitely more usable than the latest from NVidia and Microsoft.
I too have heard that HP used a customized version of the graphics card and that's why neither HP nor NVidia's drivers work.
I also tried installing the Nvidia GE Force 9300M GS drivers for Windows 7 that I downloaded from the HP website. It didn't work either. It actually failed to install altogether, saying my system is incompatible.
As is, the pc works fine. But videos and games that require motion is noticably choppy.
Any help from HP??

Windows 7 not genuine after clean install with HP disks

Hello,
I just installed a new HDD on my Probook4540s a few days ago after the original one died. I do have a backup of everything on an external HDD. Eventhough I can see my product Key with Speccy, the windows activation window pops up from time to time. One time the activation window said I was registered and good to go. What do I do next?
Thanks in advance!
Donato

Using one Windows 7 64-bit Disk to install on different machines with different licenses

I have Windows 7 64-bit full install disk that I purchased when I built my system. Obviously it came with its own key, which I installed on my custom built system. I recently purchased a Dell Optiplex GX620 computer that I want to use as an
HTPC. It came with Windows 7 64-bit installed. Both of these Windows are 7 64-bit Home Premium. Unfortunately, the Dell has only got an 80GB HDD. I want to upgrade to a 1TB. I also want no problems with the Windows so don't feel
comfortable doing an image from the 80GB to the 1TB, so I want to do fresh install of Windows 7 64-bit. The Dell came with a Windows 7 license key sticker on the side. My question is: Can I do a fresh install of Windows 7 64-bit on the Dell
with the new 1TB HDD using my Windows 7 64-bit full install disk and the license key on the side of the Dell computer and activate it with no problems?

Q. "Can I do a fresh install of Windows 7 64-bit on the Dell with the new 1TB HDD using my Windows 7 64-bit full install disk and the license key on the side of the Dell computer and activate it with no problems?"
A. Yes, but you'll likely have to "activate by phone".

Hi all, i can't sync over wifi between my iPhone 4 and Windows 7 64 bit, wifi sync works with the same phone and my Windows 8 machine, tried solutions from other threads with no luck, just thought i'd see if anyone else had any ideas, thanks.

Hi all, i can't sync over wifi between my iPhone 4 and Windows 7 64 bit, wifi sync works with the same phone and my Windows 8 machine so the problem seems confined to Windows 7. I've tried solutions from other threads -
Making sure everything is allowed through firewall
Rebooting phone/laptop/router
Disabling ipv6
Disabling all networks except the one curently on
Re-installing iTunes
Restoring iPhone
No luck with any of those unfortunately so i just thought i'd see if anyone else is still without wifi sync after trying those as well and if you ever found a fix, thanks.

I just wanted to leave a note that it's working now. I'm not sure if it was the latest iTunes update that got it working or that i decided to start a new library instead of using the one i had backed up on Windows 8 (it didn't occur to me to check using the old library when i re-installed iTunes). But if anyone is having this problem, it might be worth trying again with a new installation of iTunes to see if the latest update works for you, and if not, try using a fresh library instead of a backup (by fresh library i mean discard your old library completely and start a new library, not just restore as new iPhone, a whole new library).

How to do a clean install with lion after it is already installed?

how to do a clean install with lion after it is already installed?

Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

The Mac SuperDrive built into your Mac is the Optical drive.
1. Insert your Windows DVD in Optical drive. Disconnect any external storage.
2. Insert a USB2 Flash drive. This will be used to hold the BC drivers.
3. Start BCA. Check the options to download software and Install Windows. You do not need to download Windows. The BCA will download the BC drivers to the USB.
4. Partition your drive.
5. You can see the Windows installer screens at https://help.apple.com/bootcamp/mac/5.0/help/#/bcmp173b3bf2.

Hi Tamekia,
I am sorry to hear nothing has worked yet. I have looked up some additional information and possible solutions. Follow the steps in this document to perform a level-three uninstall, register the Windows Installer Service, and then reinstall the HP software. An uninstall and reinstall of the software deletes and overwrites any of the files that might cause the error and resets the Windows Installer. HP recommends that you download the latest software from the HP Web site to remove any files that might be causing this error.
Level-three uninstall, and register the Windows Installer Service
Note: The title of this document is not specific to the issue you are experiencing or the operating system you have, but the 3 steps and instructions are what I suggest we do to resolve the issue you are experiencing.

How to install a clean install with leopard upgrade DVD!

Does somebody know how to do an clean install with a Leopard upgrade DVD?
I bought my MacBook for 1 week ago, and them said that i would get leopard sent later. And when i get it, its a upgrade cd that i cant install only leopard on my ny frsh hard-drive. *** apple?

First, there is no such thing as a "clean install" option in OS X. But the "cleanest" install is to start with a reformatted drive (using Disk Utility's "Partition" tab), followed by an install of the OS that will be cleansed of any traces of OS or file system corruption. (The "unclean" options, "Upgrade" & "Archive & Install" won't be possible, & the erase part of "Erase & Install" is at this point redundant.)
However, if you use Setup Assistant (which runs after rebooting) or Migration Assistant to bring over copies of old system components, applications, & settings, you may be reintroducing something "unclean" from the old versions.
This said, if your up-to-date disk is just an updater (nobody seems to know yet), you can do a "cleanest possible" install by following the above with your original Tiger Installer disk, letting it reboot & not importing anything during setup, & then following the instructions supplied with the up-to-date disk to upgrade. At this point, you may want to clone the startup disk for future reference, before adding back in your apps & user files by whatever method(s) you chose.

Premier Elements 12, windows 7 64 bit pro

When editing, half way through my program, when DTI is moved when I make a cut, the video on the time line that is visible does not change.
I quiet and started again, and the same happened when I was half way through my program
[email protected]

I have three cameras. I add three videos to the time line. One on top of
the other. I change cameras after about 40 seconds.
I am not using a switcher and thanks to adobe, I have no need for that.
I have been using Adobe since Premier Elements 9. Normally I have no
problem. Yesterday this started. It is strange.
I will try to burn a disk and see if it comes out right, if not then I
will try another video. Maybe that will make a difference.
I doubt that would make a difference. My you have an opinion???
Thanks again
Jim

Clean install with 29$ single?

Can the 29$ box do a completely clean install with just the snow leopard disk? I currently have Leopard installed to the latest updates and XP on a BC partition.

Thanks, but I have no problem booting the DVD that came with the box. Only the upgrade DVD.
I called the Apple store and they told me to return the product. That might also explain why the upgrade process went so quick (17 minutes) but utterly painful afterwards with dozens of kernel panics).

Clean Install with Lion on SSD

Hi,
Was wondering if anyone could provide me a step-by-step guide for a clean install with Lion on to a new SSD.
I have already self-made a Mac OS Lion Installation CD - will this self-made CD be the only CD I need for the clean install (or do I need to use the original CDs that came with my MBP purchase) The CDs that came with my MBP was the Mac OS 10.6.8 Snow Leopard (early 2011 model)
If the self-made Lion CD is the only CD I need - then my next question is how can I validate the OS version - I suppose there will be a content ID or some sort of key to ensure that the OS is a true copy? If a key is needed, how do I obtain that?
I was told that one can self-made a Lion Installation CD from a MBP with Lion OS on it and use the CD on all other MBP for upgrades to Lion - but again, there must be a license key to subsequent users, otherwise Apple would be losing money!
Thanks in advance for your response.
Chih

Hey Sam,
Thanks for your response.
Your response prompt me for another question - let's say I have multiple MBP, if I were to upgrade each MBP's hard drive to a SSD.
Will I be able to log in to my App Store a/c and use the purchased Lion OS (I only had one license) to upgrade all my MBP?
Thanks again.
