I purchased a new OEM Windows 7 x64 DVD from a well known retailer for a new computer build with all new components. When I tried to install with the Windows DVD to a new empty intel 240 gb SSD the install failed and I was presented the following error.
"Windows encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer. This error can be caused by unplugging a removable storage device such as an external USB drive while the device is in use. Make sure any removable storage is properly connected and then restart your computer."

View 8 Replies View RelatedI am unsure of the answer, but I think that it is illegal to build a personal rig with Windows 7 OEM license, without the intent of reselling it to a third party.In the past, with Microsoft OS prior to Windows 7, doing the same thing was legal, because back then the following clause existed in the OEM license:"OEM system builder software packs are intended for PC and server manufacturers or assemblers ONLY. They are not intended for distribution to end users. Unless the end user is actually assembling his/her own PC, in which case, that end user is considered a system builder as well."But as of Windows 7, the above paragraph has been removed. Therefore someone that builds a PC without reselling the PC to a third party no longer qualifies as a system builder. Further details concerning this omission can be found in this article: url...Furthermore, the current Windows 7 EULA states that only a System Builder has the right to purchase an OEM license, and only to install it on one PC intended for resale to a third party:
"2. Authorized Distribution and Acceptance. To distribute the Software or Hardware in this Pack, you must be a System Builder and accept this license. "System Builder" means an original equipment manufacturer, an assembler, a refurbisher, or a software pre-installer that sells the Customer System(s) to a third party." url...Here is the rest of the legal text as found on newegg concerning the OEM Windows 7 license:Use of this OEM System Builder Channel software is subject to the terms of the Microsoft OEM System Builder License. This software is intended for pre-installation on a new personal computer for resale. This OEM System Builder Channel software requires the assembler to provide end user support for the Windows software and cannot be transferred to another computer once it is installed. To acquire Windows software with support provided by Microsoft please see our full package "Retail" product offerings.
All of a sudden, my pc now has this small message box load when it gets to the desktop which says "The path is not of a legal form."I have searched everywhere on the net to find something that might be able to help diagnose what is causing this but to no avail.

The guy met us in a parking lot, that should have tipped me off to something, anyway I gave him the money, he gave me the laptop and I thought all was well. He said that he couldn't find the installation disks but would look. The next day when my wife turned on the computer it said that this copy was not legal. To make a long story shorter, the computer works fine other than every time you turn it on it reminds you of the illegal copy. So to make everything legal I purchased a 3 copy family pack of windows home premium. I installed it on my laptop that had Vista but was now wondering if it will let me install on my wife's with the illegal version.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI may have made a boo boo. I bought a used computer today without an HDD or an OS. I had an old XP computer that had two 1TB drives. I installed a legitimate upgrade of Windows 7 on the C: drive over XP and put it in the new computer. Now, it won't start, and startup repair does nothing. I don't have the XP disk since I bought the computer 7 years ago, and it disappeared since.
View 13 Replies View RelatedI recently built a new machine. I installed Windows to my drive, a 1TB Western Digital. Installed worked fine, but at thestage 'preparing your desktop', it just says 'shutting down' then 'logging off', and then starts rebooting up to the point where it would load the OS, then reboots again.What gives? I tried re-installing the OS, same exact thing happened.

View 2 Replies View RelatedHow can I install Windows 7 with all of the drivers but with no users on the drive. Sort of like when you buy a pre-built machine and it asks you the first time you boot it up for you to create a user but it has all of the drivers installed (and bloatware, but I don't want to install bloatware).
I want to sell my old machine since I've upgraded which is why I want to do this.

So then I thought, that maybe I can't install the RAID drivers from within the OS. So I caused the BSOD on purpose once again, and then with ICH10R RAID activated and Samsung hard disks attached, I choose the Windows 7 Recovery mode in the boot menu. It sees some problem(s), tries to repair, does not succeed and does not ask for drivers (which I put on a USB stick) to install. I also tried to use the command-line in the recovery: "rundll32 syssetup, SetupInfObjectInstallAction DefaultInstall 128 iaStor.inf" but it gave "Installation failed."
So I'm clueless how should I proceed. Do I really need to re-install Windows 7 and load RAID drivers in the Win7 setup? I don't want to install any OS on the RAID, the Windows 7 is and will be on the SSD. I just want to have a RAID-1 backup using those two hard disks.
I installed the SP1 update on all thee of my machines. Now my desktop continually restarts about every 10 minutes or so. The other two seem fine.

i tried to download the movie make windows essential from ms website, after the installation, i have noticed that my computer now start to lag (that's right, the whole os is lagging, not in game, or when doing particular things, just lag whenever) and there's a buzzing sound accompany with it if i am playing a Internet video. i was monitoring my task manager and i notice that every lag the cpu usage would get spike up by a bit. the reason why i suspect it is a virus is because when i restart my computer, there's an option that tells me to force restart or close the following programs, but there were no program on the list, just the two options "force restart" and "cancel" what is even more weird is that it doesn't seem to act up anymore after i stopped the avira virus scan, but my computer were being slowed after restart.

How do I create a dual boot system so that the windows boot loader correctly shows linux as an option, so that I am able to load either Windows 7 (existing) or Linux(on second hard disk- not yet installed)
