I would prefer to have windows in C drive and all my data in another drive. I don't need HP tools . Deleting this partition will enable me to have linux as dual boot( right now it is not possible as it has already 4 primary partitions ).Is it possible to reinstall windows 7 starter from a cd or pendrive and just enter the serial number given in the sticker at the bottom (like windows xp which came with an installation cd). This way I can partition it the way I want. If it is possible, where can i download an installation cd ?
When installing the software, towards the end of the install I get the Administrator has set policies to prevent installation. Now I am in the administrator acct., I have added the regedit key in Windows/Installer and nothing seems to work.
I had been reading Sevenforums before i actually join it. Eversince then i got most of my doubt solve.I just bought a Sony Vaio Y series come with Windows 7 Starter.I got a bad deal form Malaysia giving windows 7 stater and 320gb hd, whereas S'pore giving Windows 7 home premiun and 500hd. Anyway i like the design and portability of this model.I got a Year Warranty, But i'm wanted to upgrade it to Windows 7 Ent. and also wanted to upgrade my ram to 4GB max. my existing one is 2GB. but i afraid this would void the warranty.Let get my question i wanted to update to Windows 7 Ent with out and not keeping my starter. but i afraid of driver issue, i plan to boot by USB setup.
about a month ago, my Windows 7 Starter went dead on my Toshiba NB250 netbook. At first I thought it was a HDD issue. I tried using downloaded 7 recovery tools to no avail, and for some reason, whatever took out the OS, took the factory installed recovery partition with it..After a few days, I was sick of waiting for the recovery media to arrive, so I tried Installing Ubuntu Netbook 10.10. It worked, so I assume the HDD is fine.The recovery media is on dvds, so it's useless to me (for some reason my BIOS doesn't support a boot from an external dvd drive). I got an iso of windows 7 starter. I've seen a ton of threads and responses where people say that the iso may be corrupted due to a bad download. Mine's fine, because it installs and runs in VirtualBox no problem.
I used the microsoft USB startup creation tool through my virtualbox installation. Thing is, whenever I try an install, I get a message saying there is a missing cd/dvd device driver. The thing has no cd/dvd drive, so I don't know what that's about. I tried copying the iso contents onto another piece of media, and did not make that bootable. I tried an install from my bootable usb, and then plugged in the usb of files. Nothing.I found this download on cnet, because I read about some guy who was messing around with his drivers to get an install to work. The cnet download was apparently only for vista, and when I put on my non-bootable media, and tried to install it when Windows asked for it, the installation told me that something was up with the drivers. Something to the tune of "contact the manufacturer for the newest software".
Can I remote desktop from windows 7 starter to any computer with XP or 7, without upgrading to 7 Premium? I am looking to buy a net book that has 7 starter loaded on it, but if it can't remote connect then I need to rethink it. I know most net book's do not have enough RAM to run 7.
I'm working on a NetBoot a acre aspire one and windows 7 starter loads up to the home screen but no icons are shown, nothing it just basically reloads at the windows 7 starter screen.It does have a system restore file from 9-28 but I don't want to use that unleash have to.I ran it in safe mode and the same problem, tried safe mode with networking last good configuration all the same even the dos prompt.All the same.
WindowsStar, my wife's problem is similar, only her Windows 7 Starter won't take her password, so she can't get to the welcome screen. I've pulled the battery off, and also did a restart. Still, the only option is type the friggin' password, and it won't take it.

I have a sony vaio netbook with W7 starter but it is in Spanish! I have W7 ultimate on my external HD and want to replace the W7 starter on the sony with the full ultimate version.
My Dell 1100 notebook has Windows 7 Starter installed. I know that in this system the search function works in the form of a search box which appears when clicking the start icon. However, the box has never appeared. I have been suggested by some acquaintances that the search box is not pre-installed in Windows 7 Starter. But, as a matter of fact, I have seen that it is indeed as you can gather from visiting the Microsoft page.
My netbook crashed luckly I have an external cd rom drive, and the recovery discs. How do I get the netbook working again though. What are the steps I need to take.
My granddaughter just purchased an Asus netbook and it came with Windows 7 Starter Edition installed...Is there any way to upgrade the operating system to Win 7 Home Edition? There is no DVD drive in this computer.

I just got a mini notebook with windows 7 starter on it and I can not do much with just starter. I was wondering how do I switch Starter with Professional without the CD because it doesn't have a CD-ROM drive.
My Dell netbook with Windows 7 tells me that themes are not supported when I attempted to install the PC Advisor Windows 7 screenesavers. I really cannot see the advantages of 7 over Vista!!
2 days ago, i bought a Netbook equipped with windows starter. I needed a cheap computing solution for college since i only need Word, Maple and Google chrome to make me happy during my free times at school. It's brand new and was equipped with Mcafee internet security 60 days trial which i took cause it was already installed and ready to work, anyway. I received message from windows update which i ignored for the last day since i didn't needed to use my netbook at all. I finally did the update today. And then. Boom. While rebooting, BSOD.(Reminded me of windows 98 and ME since i hadn't seen one in the last 10 years XD ). Memory dump, and rebooting. Then the apparently now famous Windows couldn't boot appeared and they offered me to try to run windows normally or to use the restore. I tried to run it again, which failed. So i did restored but now i'm still with the same problem while updating windows. I have checked on many forums but their similar problems are from 2010. And my netbook has been manufactured not two month ago since it's a new model.
I tried a lot of software like the aeroenabler ,aeropatch or regedit but allcan't.....the windows 7 advisor say my pc is support aero but why still can't enable??
I notice that most netbooks installed with 1GB RAM only. Some of the newer Atom N550 CPU netbooks don't even allow user to upgrade memory (panel underneath locked). So I wonder if 1GB is truely enough for Starter edition because it uses less memory than others?
I have a problem with a netbook where it has lost the file actionqueue.dll and I need to install a copy. The netbook wont boot up but have managed to get it into command prompt. I have put a copy of the file onto a usb stick but I cannot get the usb stick to be seen when in command prompt.have run diskpart and it is showing their but cannot find any other way to see it so that I can copy the file off and back into the netbook.
At my first installation of Windows 7 to my netbook there were 2 language options: Turkish & English Today I decided to reinstall Windows 7 from, umm what you call, the partition where is located Windows 7 setup files, the hidden part of the HDD. I pressed F11, it didn't worked. Googled it and I'm right, it is F11 for Casper's netbooks.
Then I tried F8, then reinstall Windows 7 (which does not exists on my desktop PC interestingly), and I installed it without problem. Even it backuped the old files. And didn't touched some folders under C. But it is not clean installation as you can see it backuped the old files, didn't touched some folders under C, and the most inportant part is that now it is Turkish! Where is my English Windows 7?
I want to ask how can I start this Windows setup which is hidden at the HDD? Is there something like Linux distro and app to start it. I have USB sockets but not CD/DVD/etc... hardware.
