Custom Install Issue - No Device Drivers
I downloaded the student edition of windows 7 Home Premium, I am currently running Vista Ultimate so cannot do an upgrade and have to do a custom install.
I downloaded it fine, ran it, it opens up fine with the blue windows 7 opening screen, I select install, then select custom install. In the next window I have an empty white box which I presume is supposed to list my HD's allowing me to select where I want to install Windows 7. None of my HD's are showing up, I'm given the option to browse or scan, when I select this it gives me the message-
No device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click OK Any suggestions?

Custom Install With Notebook Without Drivers
I am trying to upgrade my Vista 32 bit to Windows 7 32 bit. Since my Vista is the home version and the win 7 I've purchased is professional, I have to do a custom install, which basically deletes all my programs and drivers. My notebook, however, didn't come with any drivers when I purchased it. All it asked me to do was make a recovery disk. So my question is, how do I find said drivers? I've downloaded a few off HP but do those require existing drivers or can I use those after the Win 7 installation? My main concern is my ATI Mobility Radeon 3200 and CCC.

How To Stop Win7 From Trying To Install Device Drivers ?
I installed Windows 7 RC. Initially, my HP Officejet J6480 printer did not work (the printer did, but the scanner and fax did not). As recommended on this site, I reinstalled the HP drivers using compatibility mode "Windows Vista" and everything seems to be working fine. However, every time I boot up, Windows 7 trys to reinstall the HP device drivers and after a few minutes, reports failure to do so. Is there some way to shut this off? The attempt to install the device driver delays my ability to do other things on the computer. I noted a similar post and the suggestion that the user install the "Windows device driver". However, I am not sure how to get the "Windows device driver". Isn't that what the computer is trying to do when I get the message? Russrich

Allow Standard Users To Install Drivers For These Device Setup Classes Issue
I am trying to allow users to install webcam drivers because as many of you know, new devices come in and it can be a pain to get the drivers installed. Anyway, I've setup the DevicePath registry entry to point to the webcam drivers folder on the network (e.g., domainsoftwaredriverswebcam). I then set the group policy "allow non-administrators to install drivers for these device setup classes" I add the guids of setup classes into this policy. I reboot, so the policy applies and attempt to install the webcam - everytime it shows 2 UAC prompts (for each device)Â with the program name as "Device driver software installation". What else do I need to do to get this working? I've even attepted to create my own certificate and sign the .cat files, imported the certificate to the test workstation and it still shows the UAC prompt. Has anyone gotten this to work? Is it broken in W7?

XP Custom Install
I do not get this "Drive options (advanced)" option -- does anyone know what the reason might be that it is disabled or how to enable it? If you want to create, extend, delete, or format a partition, click Drive options (advanced), click the option you want, and then follow the instructions. Click Next to begin the installation. (If the Drive options (advanced) option is disabled, you need to start your computer using the installation disc.)

D Drive After Custom Install
I did a custom install from vista to 7(32 bit) today. I deleted all old restore points through the space management, however, the partition reads a still mostly full. There is only 1.8gb out of 8.3 available. When I access the folder, there is nothing in there, even if I show hidden files. I believe it is remnants of my old vista recovery drive, which I did not erase prior to my upgrade and was always equally full to what it is now. How would I go about eliminating these files now so I can backup my new OS installation?

Icons In Device Manager Issue After Installation Of USB Device Drivers
We had a (small) issue when installing our USB device driver on Windows 7 RC. I downloaded the newest WDK, created and signed with Authenticode a new cat file including the new OS, and built a simple installer for installing the drivers. We used the recommended functions like CryptCATAdminAcquireContext, CryptCATAdminAddCatalog, CryptCATAdminReleaseCatalogContext and CryptCATAdminReleaseContext as well as SetupCopyOEMInf. We created a new device class and therefore the drivers appeared in the device manager as "unknown devices". We added the registry keys for displaying the mini icon for "USB devices". This worked pretty well on Vista64. Using the same installer script on Windows 7 (64-bit) still showed the "unknown devices" in the device manager. As we have to prepare now our installers to be compatible with Windows 7 and we need to know if this is a bug or if there exists a workaround.

Custom Install - Partition Creation
I installed Win 7 32 bit and posted several comments about this step in the install process. These comments are about the same area but with the 64 bit version.  In both versions at the custom install step during installation, I deleted the current partitions for disk 0 where I install the operating system and programs. For 32 bit Win 7 created Partition 1 with 200 MB for Bitlocker plus Partition 2 for the operating system. I did not note the description for disk 2 (Data Drive) as I did not change it. For the 64 bit system the display was distinctly different and follows:  Disk 0 Unallocated space 0 MB; Partition 1 100 MB; Partition 2 149 GB; Disk 0 Unallocated 0 MB Disk 1 Partition 1 298.1 GB. I beleive that there are several inconsistencies in the 64 bit bersion. Why show 0 MB unallocated space? Why show Disk 0 twice and not disk 0 and disk 1?Also I do not believe that I formatted partition 1 after I created the new partitions. I did a double take when the install process began to execute after the partition creation. I know I formatted the partitions under the 32 bit version. I do not know if I had to format the partition.Â

Win 7 Custom Install, Results In A BSOD
I've created a custom version of Windows 7 Ultimate RTM because I'll have to install it on several pc's and didn't want to install the software manually. So I started to install the programs on a virtual pc and used this guide to create an iso. I did this in windows xp, so instead of using the in-built vhd-attach tool I used WinMount . Then, I used imageX to create the install.wim. After that, I replaced the install.wim of an original Windows 7 RTM dvd and burnt the dvd using ImgBurn and this tutorial . Because the install.wim is to big to fit on a normal dvd, I had to burn it on a dual-layer dvd+r. Rebooted system, started windows setup from dvd, chose the partition I had already prepared, and installed windows 7 without any problems. But, after setup, getting ready for the first boot, after the drivers are loaded and the red part of the windows logo starts to appear, it shows me a bsod and I cannot continue. A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps: Check for viruses on your computer. Remove any newly installed hard drives or hard drive controllers. Check your hard drive to make sure it is properly configured and terminated. Run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption, and then restart your computer. Technical information: *** STOP: 0x0000007B (0x80786B58, 0xc0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) I followed the advices that were given, but there weren't any virusses on my drive, I did not change my hard drive (controller) and chkdsk end with no errors.

Custom Install And File On The C: Root Drive
I just did a custom install from Vista to Windows 7 with an upgrade disc. After completing the setup, deleting windows.old, and reinstalling all of my programs, I noticed that there were old folders on the C: drive. It is as if it didn't move anything from the root drive to the windows.old file. I'm annoyed at myself for not noticing it sooner. Now I don't want to do another install since I spent all that time reinstalling the programs and configuring them for personal use. I'm tempted to go in and just delete the old folders from the root drive, but I'm nervous. Honestly, I can't be certain of what should and shouldn't be there. Is there anyway I can tell which folders on the root drive are leftovers? I thought about deleting according to the date modified stamp, but I'm not certain that is safe either. Can anyone advise me? I really don't want to do another install of Windows 7, but I was pretty excited about starting with a true clean slate. I just can't help but wonder what else it left behind.

Install Wont Recognize Any Hard Drives During Custom Installation
I am having trouble trying to install windows 7 64 bit rc. I have already dual booted windows 7 32 bit on this computer with Vista 32 but wanted to take full advantage of the RAM so deleted Windows 7 32 bit. When I try to do an install from the installation disk I get to the point where I select custom installation and when the next screen comes up it is not recognizing ANY of my hard drive partitions. I have went in and made sure the partitions appear to be correct. I am on a Dell Lap with an AMD Turion 64x2 with 4GB of RAM. I am not sure what is causing this as I have also installed windows 7 on my desktop and haven't had any trouble. As I stated previously I have also installed on the computer I am currently having the issue's with but deleted to install the 64 bit version. Does anybody have any idea's why its not recognizing my hard drive. Any help or idea's would be greatly appreciated. Oh and by the way been running windows 7 on both of my pc's for about 3 months now and it is GREAT!!!! I hope I can get the 64 bit installed to take advantage of the extra RAM (even though its only a little more that half a GB). Also has anybody been able to download Java on windows 7 yet. I havent tried for a while now but was unable to a while back.

Custom Install Win7 On XP Pro/Vista XP Dual Boot
I have just discovered that I cannot do an Upgrade from Vista HP to Win 7 Pro and that I will have to do a Custom or clean install. That will be OK and doesn't cause any problems. I have XP on one HDD and Vista on another with dual boot. However I want to replace Vista HP with Win 7 Pro 32 bit, ( I intend to go 64 bit later on). What I would like to know is, will Win 7 replace Vista on the boot sequence (MBR?), so that on booting the PC I have the option of selecting either XP or Win 7, or will I be presented with a boot menu of XP, Vista and Windows 7, albeit that Vista is no longer installed? If the latter, will this cause any problems in selecting the OS that I want to launch i.e the MBR looking for a now non existing Vista and would there be a way to remove reference to Vista?

Difference Between Custom Install And Deleting A Partition, Formatting, And Installing
I have a few questions about installing Windows 7. (1) I'm preparing to upgrade my Windows XP Pro SP3 machine to Windows 7 Pro. I'm been planning my "attack" on this for several weeks now and recently settled on using Windows Easy Transfer and installing onto my current Windows partition. I understood that this would create a Windows.Old folder with all my old files and settings but that I would nonetheless have a "clean" install of Windows 7. However, this article on cnet.com leads me to believe otherwise: http://news.cnet.com/8301-19882_3-10386856-250.html?tag=TOCmoreStories.0. Essentially, the author seems to suggest that custom install "set up [his] computer more-or-less cleanly with Windows 7." He goes on to say that "I really wanted to do was re-format my hard drive and start from a blank slate on my computer," and that he eventually worked up the courage to simply reformat his partition (rather than install over it) reinstall Windows 7 again. This absolutely, positively, confuses me. What on earth is the difference between using the Custom Install option to upgrade Windows XP to Windows 7 and formatting the partition and installing clean? I thought using Custom Install was a clean install - am I missing something? (2) If I do elect to simply format my existing partition and install Windows 7 there, will I even be able to use that option since I am installing an "upgrade" version of Windows 7? The author in the article I linked to above was able to, and he notes that many others were able to as well, but he seems to make the suggestion that some have had troubles. Does anyone have any information on this? (3) Finally, I'd like to install the 64-bit version of Windows 7. Currently, I am using a 32-bit version of Windows XP. Will that limit my ability to install the 64-bit version of Windows 7?

No Device Drivers Were Found
No device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click OK. Windows XP-32bit > 7-64bit I have now spent many hours now on this and this is the latest error message i get after redownloading and going through all this malarky. I am getting very frustrated and heartly sick of MS. They are every example of a monopoly for the economist and will be for years. It is an absolute disgrace that they never even got 10 students to try and download when they uploaded; it's just basic. The money I have spent buying it have been long exceeded at a personal cost in time. I feel cheated.

Unable To Install Device Driver Software
I have somewhat recently upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 but my problem occured after having Windows 7 for about a week. I am unable to use my wireless mouse as when I plug the sensor device into the usb port it recognizes it and attempts to install the driver software via searching for it on windows update, but it fails. I originally had it working with windows 7 for a while until one night I shut it down with windows updates to install, then the next morning it failed when I tried to connect the wireless device. It is a logitech wireless mouse that was originally part of a keyboard/mouse combo but I'm just using the mouse portion as I have a laptop now. Here are the things I've done and some conclusions that I've come to: - I have uninstalled,reboot,reinstalled and updated everything in my device manager Including updating the BIOS and Motherboard chipsets - I have tried to get the updates from windows update manullay and it still fails - I have gone to HP's website and installed every update on their for my computer, although its fairly new, 08/09 so there were only a few things to update. - I have done multiple system restores to try and set the computer back before the problem was occuring - I have tried powering off the computer and removing the battery and power sources as a type of full restart to the computer with no effect. - I have gone to logitechs website and downloaded the latest setpoint version which still didn't help the wireless mouse work, unless there are other options in the software that I don't know about, I could use some information on that. Finally I bought a new optical wireless mouse thinking that the problem might be its incompatibility with Windows 7 (even though it was working at one time) and the new wireless mouse had the same problem, plugged in the usb driver and the device software fails to install. So the usb ports recognize the devices, as I have an external Harddrive that I attach via usb and that recognizes and works fine. I have also tried a flash drive that installs the software fine and works. My guess is that its not the usb ports directly but something with where windows installs the updates, I don't know if its been cluttered with stuff that it can't install anymore or what. But I am out of ideas and have searched all over the internet for answers.

W7 Installation: Device Drivers Not Found
I bought a W7 Home Premium, the discounted version for students, and I'm trying to install it on my Acer 6930G (500GB, ram 4GB, ...right stuff for W7). I'm actually running W Vista x86, and I know that in order to run W7 x64 (the one I bought) I must do a custom installation from the boot. And I'm doing so, well trying to... After the window asking for my location and keyboard input, I continue but then I get stuck. A new window pops up asking me for a device driver...it stated "device driver not found"... I read a lot on the internet, but that's driving me mad... how can I solve the problem and having that OS running?! I'm going to sue Microsoft if that OS is not gonna run... xD
