New Windows 7 64bit Install, Now Only 32 Gig Free Of 232 Gig Harddrive
Jan 5, 2012
I just purchased and intalled windows 7 home premium 64bit. I have a 250gig hard drive, which now shows only 32 gig of free space. I've done little more than reload some pictures and a few programs I used when I had the computer set up with XP. why my hard drive is nearly full or where I went wrong with the setup?
I'm trying to install Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit onto my blank harddrive via usb that was setup with the microsoft application for doing so.
It adds new windows files to about 80% then give me this error: Code: Windows cannot install required files. The file does not exist. Make sure all the files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. Error code: 0x80070002 Phenom x4 9850 6GB ram nvidia 9800gt seagate 7200rpm 750gig baracuda 460W PSU m2n78-la viola
Won't boot off external hard drive[windows7pro64bitInstallation](320GB)'ve been making custom images of Windows 7 for my work. Currently I am working on an image filled with loads of programs (the wim file is 27gb). I have followed the normal instructions to create a bootable usb drive.captured the wim using imagex, used bootsect /nt60 on the external drive etcI am just wondering, is the reason it won't boot, is because it's not a flash drive?Previously all my other windows 7 builds have been on 8gb flash sticks.Is it possible to make a working bootable installation drive on a 320 external hard drive?and if there is a way.
I am having trouble installing Windows to my external harddrive. I have more than enough space (~350GB) free, but the Windows 7 installer DVD will not let me install to this space.I need to install to this harddrive because the HDD that came with the computer is dead
I used a 2Tetrabyte HardDrive for 2 months as storage but sold it to my friend so he can use it as primary drive.I formatted it NTFS ( i think thats the spelling for it)I went over to his house to setup his Windows 7 on it and it wont install. Im booting from the windows 7 CD and tried all the options that it offers, spent hours.
okay first i dont know what correct category to post this thread..so anyway i have experienced installing Windows 7 using my USB/Flashdrive but my question is does it works with External USB HardDrive? i dont have external HDD yet i`m planning to buy one likeFreecom MD XXS 320GB Imation Venus 500GBHitachi 500GB
I am attempting to install Windows 7(32) onto my computer (currently running Windows Vista32). I have been unable to do so because the setup claims that I have no harddrives in which to install windows. It will not detect them during the installation process.
The compatibility check states that my computer is capable of running Windows 7(32) I am curious if there is anything I could do to get the installation to detect my harddrive.
My computer specs are:
Nvidia GTS 450 Intel Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.4Ghz 4.00gb Ram Dell XPS720 PLDS DVD+RW DH-16A6S SCSI CdRom (driver up to date)
I attempted to format my C: as well, as per a friends suggestion, and was unable to do so recieving an error message stating "system partition is not allowed to be formatted" . I do not recall partitioning my system.
I have a W7 upgrade disk which I purchase when W7 was release and my l copy of Windows XP SP2. Is there any way I can just install W7 on a newly formatted harddrive.
Reason:
I have a trojan virus they cannot be deleted, it can only be quaranteen. Unfortunately while quaranteened, it still creates temp files...more than a 100. After trying numerous outlets: Symantec, my product is Syamantec Endpoint Protection., Mcafee on-line, Trend Micro House Call and Web Root Secure anywhere, I am afraid I will have to reformat the drive andi install from scratch.
I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, and never had any problem installing 64-bit programs. Now, when a try to install any 64-bit programs it shows a message of incompatible version of the program with the running Windows, but my Windows 7 is 64 bits.
Currently trying zone alarm but half the time I add something to the app blocker it auto deletes it, getting kinda annoyed with it, do I really need a firewall if my router has a NAT firewall built in? in reality all I need is something that can block certan programs from accessing the net, by letting me choose to do so when it tries to launch.
I was a professional programmer for over 30 years mostly COBOL. In my last 10 years QBASIC was a big part of my duties in order to fix COBOL programs that were downloaded to the PC. I was really disappointed that when I updated to Windows 7, Qbasic would not work. I guess Windows 8 would be the same thing. Is there a way to use Qbasic on my computer without destroying it for every thing else?
