Rolling Back From Windows 7 To Windows XP On A HP G72 Notebook
Jul 11, 2011
I need to roll back from windows 7 to windows xp on a hp g27 notebook problem is, is i need a boot disk that won't cause the machine to blue screen. So the question is how do i create a boot disk so the hp g27 notebook will not blue screen so i can get this version of windows installed on it.
I was using Windows 8 Pro, but because of some driver problems, I decided to rollback to Windows 7. I installed it at the same partition, without formating, but for some reason, the windows.old directory wasn't created. I stated that first because the hdd should be almost full, and second because there's no windows.old directory. I ran Recuva for some minutes, and it did found some files that where on the last installation, with many of them not overwritten. I would like to restore some of the files without using Recuva, as that will give me much work. There's any way to make windows.old show up?
My computer graphics card seams to be rolling back its driver updates automatically.i have a radeon 5770, and the only update tht sticks is 8.851.0.0, the newest update driver for my graphics card is 8.902.0.0, why does it always roll back whn i turn my computer on?
Got a notebook with Windows 7 on it and all of a sudden it's started not booting up, I've tried running the operating system recovery, memory diagnostix and the various tools presented to me to try and fix the issue with no luck. It just sits at the black screen with the yellow bar running across the bottom and never boots up. Also tried safe mode but it just stops after loading disk.sys.Only way I can get on is if I reinstall Windows, first format all the drives then reinstall it - it works fine (boots up) but as soon as I shut down I can't get back on and I'm back to square one.Also tried an older operating system with no luck (it was running 7 for months before this issue).
I have a windows 7 Samsung recovery media disk and a Samsung notebook model-NP-N110 with windows xp home edition. Obviously my notebook does not have a disk drive and I want to install windows 7 on it using the disk. I am ok with computers but not very technical
I've got an Asus notebook with 1 gig ram that's running Windows Home 64 bit. It's very slow to boot and open programs and it occurs to me that 1 gig's not enough ram for the 64 bit version. I bought it this way (JR's). Am I right in thinking this is not the right setup? Rather than add RAM I'm thinking of switching to Win 7 32 bit Pro, which I have already. Is this easy to do?The Asus is also running Express Gate - could that require the 64 bit version?
I plug in a usb webcam into my notebook's usb port with windows 7, but it does not auto play, but still works t the webcam built into the notebook.What do I have to do to activate this add on?
installing Win 7 x64 from a bootable USB I made with WinToFlash on a Asus X401A.I know the stick is bootable because it loads windows files but after I chose language and keyboard and press install it says: "A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now."I know this is a known problem but I have tried all the solution I could find, Change from USB port 3.0 to 2.0, use Ultra Iso to write Win images to stick (Win 7 32,64, Vista 32,64) but to no avail.
Note: last night when I used WinToFlash for the first time to transfer Win to the stick, instead of copying the files manually after I format the stick, I managed to install Windows but the USB ports didn't work at all, I tried 3 different sticks and nothing and I didn't have any drivers on the HDD and with no way to transfer anything on the notebook I fuleshly decided to reinstall Windows but I ran into the same "A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing" error.On top of all of that the previous installation of windows wont boot, it says " windows failed to start. a recent hardware or software change might be the cause" and Repair your computer from the stick doesn't work.

Installed a Notebook drive now Windows 7 cant live without it & hid it. Had a notebook drive I wanted to back some file up on. I put in my Windows 7 computer now Windows 7 will no longer boot from C it will only boot if you go to the boot menu and start with this other drive. I cannot read the drive with any of the file reading programs. The drive shows in the hardware configuration only but cannot access it.
Start of with a topic what was published many times before, only not the same as in my situation. The crazy thing is, at every startup from Windows the battery icon runs the charge bar 5 times, and than it stops. At pointer it says: 0% available ( on main supply, battery is being charged) However, this does never change. Nomatter how long it charges. BatteryBar does the same thing:
Procent 0,0 % Capacity 0mWh of 43.568 mWh Battery unknown (charging) Charge 0 mW Full time 1:17 Main supply connected battery waist 18,2% of 53.280 mWh
A colleague told me that he used to sync his notebook with his desktop PCby syncing a tree (in explorer?) and he was able to tell the sync to excludefiles below a ceratin directory (to reduce the amount of files being synced).That was under Windows XP.Now, he says, in Windows 7, he doesn't have this feature to stop at a certain directory level (depth)
I recently purchased an OEM version of Win7 Home Premium 64bit and I was hoping to upgrade the OS on my laptop from Windows Vista to Win7. However, MSI does not offer drivers for 64 bit Win7 for this series of notebooks, much to my dismay.
Can someone help me locate the appropriate drivers for my notebook so I don't need to continue to use the worst operating system Windows has ever released?
I have a toshiba mini notebook that came with preinstalled windows 7. I hate what MS has done to wordpad. Can I get a copy of windows xp and some how override this peice of dog dung. I've used wordpad for everything
I need to type a very important document and I don't see anyway to type letters and documents on a HP....newest version. I thought all computers had some way of typing documents like resumes's etc. MY BAG!!

I accidentally deleted some important files/folders which caused the whole downloaded videos/games get lost in a few minutes,i didnt even notice that it was deleting.I tried system restore but it didnt work,is there any other way to get your systems time back up for 2-3 days back?
My holiday upgrades have started and I upgraded a Dell Inspiron 1420 today, it was a good experience, however there were some very important drivers missing in the out of the box process that were easy enough to fix so I wanted to share the details for those who might not find this so obvious because you have a machine that works GREAT with Windows 7! First, verify what sound device and video device you have before you start this process it will provide some confidence in the steps here. The Dell Inspiron 1420 Im referring to had a SIGMATEL STAC 92XX C-Major HD Audio processor and a NVidia GeForce 8400GS Graphics processor. Windows 7 doesnt seem to know this hardware is part of the machine and so the drivers are completely missing, instead there is generic audio driver (enables the headphone jacks, but not the built-in speakers) and a generic VGA graphics adapter driver provided (that provides full resolution but no Aero support).
