Laptop Install Stalls Part Way, Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit?
Oct 28, 2011
Soo its an Acer travelmate 4000 laptop, 1.6Ghz, 2gig ram, clean hard drive with two partitions , primary is 30 gig , secondary 120 gig.Windows 7 home prem OEM 32 bit It gets through the first part of the install (up to the first restart) then goes on to the screen shown in part 9 of the clean install guide, highlighting the "completing installation" message Clean Install Windows 7 then stops with the progress bar about 3/2rds of the way. The drive light flashes occasionally, but otherwise nothing,I formatted and partitioned the drive in another machine.

I downloaded the correct .iso file from the Digital River list and have since burned a new DVD using imgburn set at 4x for an excellent copy. At this point I'm not sure if I must first reset the BIOS boot order in Setup or if just having the DVD in the drive will prompt me to press any key to continue. FWIW, I'm using a Liteon DVD-ROM drive Model eTDU108.

I have a problem with an Italian Windows 7 32-bit Home Premium installation that I have been unable to resolve. So I am resorting to a 'repair' install.I downloaded the English Win 7 32-bit generic version as an ISO file and started to perform an 'upgrade' install.However, I didn't get very far before I received the message that I couldn't upgrade due to the language difference.I searched on the internet but could not find an Italian version. I did find a language pack for Italian, but it is claimed to be for higher versions of Win 7 than Home Premium. In any case it isn't clear to me what I would have to do with this language pack. where I can find an applicable ISO or what else I can do in order to proceed?

I bought a Toshiba Satellite L500-20Z, and it does not tell me which version I am running, ( 32or64 ) though I know it IS x64. The in-store shpeil said it was equipped with Win 7 Home premium 64bit, with 32bit recovery partition.
Question 1 - is there any way to tell between 32 or 64 (apart from a "Program Files (x64)" folder on my C: drive), and
Question 2 - how do I tell what build I have? (the above link says nothing)
Question 3 - how to tell if the recovery is 64 and not just 32 without wiping my existing install?
(I suppose I could take an image of my current C: drive and use that instead of the recovery partition if disaster strikes.... only trouble is with OEM theres so much bloat and crap that's incluided...)

The original OS was Windows XP 32bit SP3. I upgraded this system to Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit SP2 with no issues.
I then went to upgrade the system to Windows 7 Premium. I chose the "Upgrade" install and not the "Clean" install. I've checked the updater to confirm that all my system information was adequate. I uninstalled the ATI Catalyst Controller, iTunes, etc. that it wanted me to. Oddly enough, the ATI Catalyst Controller was the most recent driver that supports Windows 7.
I checked online to see if the hardware was all supported by Windows 7. The Sapphire Vapor-X video card was not compatible or compatible... it simply wasn't on the list of either. The X-Fi Extreme Gamer said it was NOT compatible... yet, I had a driver for Windows 7 and the Windows 7 Application checker said that my sound card was ready for Windows 7... thus a discrepency.
I went on with the installation. I get to the last step where it resets the computer at 62% and I get a BSOD for about 1/3 of a second. It goes by too quickly for me to capture it. It then restarts the computer instantly with the result of "Upgrade was not completed successfully. Restoring prior OS yadda yadda". I've gone through this about 5 times now trying different things.. keeping the Catalyst controller installed, uninstalling the video card, removing the sound card, etc. Nothing seems to work.
It was recommended to me that I do a clean install... however, I have read that many others have done a clean install and theirs STILL doesn't get past the 62%.
Is it my hardware? Do I need to buy MORE hardware now that 7 is out that is on the compatible list?

I have a little while ago build up my pc,
and bought a new system development package of win. vista home premium 64 bit.
with in my foresight i had the new 7 totally for free.
Then i got my win 7 home premium, formatted my system and installed the upgrade just fine as a clean installation.
But in home premium are some features you have in the ultimate or professional version disabled, and some of these features i just want to use.
now i do the education on school for IT, and my school has given me a msdnaa account.
Now on that msndnaa account where i can download windows 7 professional.
My question is:
Now i want to install the home premium on my laptop, and the on my pc
can i install the home premium which is of course already activated on my pc, can i install it on my laptop. i don't need a explanation of how i install a os, cause i already know such things.

I got windows 7 ultimate 32bit free from my school, and decided that I wanted to clean install, and not upgrade it. I transferred all my files off, booted the laptop up with the windows 7 disk, and proceeded to clean install. I didn't have the drivers cd for my laptop, but I just wiped my drive and installed 7 anyway. Now I have windows 7 ultimate 32bit, and can only use 3 of my 4 gigabytes of memory.. The thing I don't really understand is the whole upgrading option, and like, I know that it's a windows 7 32bit dvd, but it doesn't seem right to go from 64bit to 32bit. So is there anyway I can make it 64bit without having to buy a new dvd? And if not, how much am I missing out on, with not having 64bit, especially with having 4 gigabytes of ram?

I have just purchased a new pc that came with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, which wont run my company software, which was made in 1995, 16 bit. This 16bit software ran fine on my previous pc, which had Windows 7 Starter 32-bit. But the 64 bit Windows 7 version wont run it, I cant use Windows XP Mode on my version of Windows 7, need Pro - Ultimate Version.
I want to install and run the Windows 7 32-bit I have, on my new pc (I still have the installation disk) on a separate partition and keep the 64 bit version to. Is this possible to install both 32 bit and 64 bit versions of Windows 7 and then select which to run when the pc boots?

My laptop is SONY VAIO VPCEE4FX comes with Windows 7 Home Premium x64 OEM installed. My auntie from U.S gave this to me on my graduation last year.. i never reformat this since i got this laptop. Now, i want to re-install this OS on my laptop but the problem is i dont have the Operating System Disk that is installed on my laptop. I called my auntie on phone and she said she doesnt have the OEM Disk. I used "KeyFinder" to know the CD-KEY of this Operating System. What can i do to re-install my operating system? Can i download Windows 7 Home Premium x64 OEM legally from certain sites?

Okay so I bought a new motherboard and CPU, installed it and turned the computer on, then the windows 7 loads for about 5 seconds then flashes the blue screen 4 half a sec. I already know that I need to reinstall windows 7 again, but I have 2 issues. First one is I have windows7 ultimate, and if i buy windows7 home premium will I be able to do a clean install? Second question is will the install even work on my hard disk drive? I dont want to buy it and not have it load or work properly.

I am having a problem. The OS(Windows 7 x64) finishes installing but when it finishes it boots up again like normal then flashes a quick blue screen error message. I have tried doing what the comments told you to do except for downloading the ISO and burning it to a disk. I just get the same error. I have researched this processor and it turns out it has been known to be VERY dodgy with Windows 7 64-bit.

Ready to start to install Windows 7 Home Premium on my XP Home PC having passed the Windows 7 upgrade advisor Ok. Full install not upgrade. Have set BIOS to boot from CD as 1st, 2nd and also 3rd device for good measure and although I can hear disk spinning, XP boots up rather that Windows 7 setup starting.

can we install the 32 bit version from the Professional upgrade in place of the 64 bit Home Premium with comes preinstalled? I would do this from the very beginning, so we wouldn't have installed any of our software yet, I don't think there is any bloatware form Dell that we will want. I will make the recovery copies of the 64 bit OS first, and then hopefully upgrade to the 32 bit Professional. Things are "tight", and hopefully will not have to purchase a full version of Professional.

Basically I'm ready to explode. As you know, I'm running Ultimate. I recently decided to upgrade to a 64 bit OS. I purchased a 250 gb harddrive for it. (dualboot 32 bit and 64 bit Windows 7) but my ISO file won't boot. I've tried everything. Yes, my PC is 64bit capable.

I already have VirtualBox installed and I'm at the point where I need to get windows 7 installed on virtualbox. How the hell do I do this. Apparently I am missing something because dos says "Boot Fail" blah blah blah and that's as far as I am. Do I just make a boot disc and then use it some how? Do I need other software? Maybe some basic instruction on starting a new virtualbox session. I've tried looking for the boot.ini but I'm thinking it's hidden in dos.

I bought a full install version of Windows 7 Home Premium. My wife's computer is a quad core with 8 gigs of ram. it is currently running 32 bit version of Win 7 Professional,(an upgrade from XP). I want to install 64 bit version so her computer will use all its power, but when I put the 64 bit disc in, it says its the wrong disc, What should I do. if I can't install 64 bit then I've wasted $200.00

I had Windows 7 Home Premium installed and I just wanted to reinstall everything but when I boot it up from CD it is not working for some reason. It just goes straight to Windows 7 log in. Seems like ppls been having problems but they do not seem to have exactly same setting as me. Since I am doing Windows 7 to Windows 7. I wanted to format it but instead of just formatting I tried installing it. But now it is not working.BIOS setting is CD/DVD and I also manually did it by pressing F12.. still not working.
