whenever i add any external hardware(like pen drive, modem etc) through usb, my os(windows 7) fail to install that driver...// i hv change my os to windows xp, still it happens. My antivirus is mcafee.
I recently downloaded the win 7 x64 iso and added it to a usb flash drive using the "usb flash drive tool" from microsoft. When I boot from the flashdrive the windows install wizard loads, I select the language and click next, then I get asked to find the CD/DVD-rom driver...
Friend has installed Windows 7 on his Amilo Xi2428 but Device Manager shows 'PCI memory manager' driver missing - which I guess is the Nand Flash driver for Vista. Tried installing the Vista driver in Compatibility mode but still says operating system not supported.
Using Win 7, I plug in a SanDisk Cruzer micro 2 gb flashdrive to the USB port but the drive is not detected. I can do the same from an XP machine and the flashdrive is not detected. If it was detected, I could go to computer management and select it, but since it is not detected, that is not an option. I have lots of data on this flashdrive and have used it extensively with both the XP and Win 7 machines but now it is not detected. Any thoughts on how to force detection? Unfortunately I suspect the USB connector has gone bad.
I have bit of a trouble with installing Windows 7 on my new ASUS X501A freedos laptop. Since the laptop has no disk drive I am installing Windows via USB device.
Everything goes smooth with the installation until it reaches the second step, asking for a cd/dvd/flash driver, not recognizing the USB device that is plugged in.
I went to re-install my phones Firmware today, had to install the Update Service. That went fine, loaded up the Update Service and tried to connect my phone, this is where the problem came up.
Turns out Windows doesn't have a driver for the SEMC flash on the phone (the bit with the firmware on it). Any Suggestions?
How can you copy one flash drive to another flash drive,on the same computer?

ive finished building my pc and i need to put the os on. But i have the os in a file because i dont have the disk, and i need to set it up on the flash to let my new pc boot up.
I've got three different (but identical, to look at them) MicroSDHC thumb drives. When I tried them in my new Win 7 PC, it assigned a different drive letter and description to each, under Devices with Removable Storage. Even though "Hide empty drives in the computer folder" is checked in my Folder Options, it's not working -- they're still listed under Computer, grayed out. Worse, when I fire up Windows Explorer, it occasionally (but not consistently) gives me a series of errors about the drives not being available -- and this continues to happen even after I uninstall them in Device Manager.
i hv a problem which is im reboot my laptop by using usb flash, and for the begining its look well. but when the laptop restart for the 1st time after 'install updates', it return to the 1st step of win 7 installation and not proceed to the 'completing installation' part...
Need a 64 bit Windows 7 Home Premium install with sp1 on a flash drive. My Windows 7 disks (retail) are pre sp1. I borrowed a friends Windows 7 Ultimate disk with sp1 but when I transfer from the iso to the flash drive using Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool (having used ei.cfg Removal Utility to make all version available) all I get is the Ultimate SP1 version.If I do the same thing to a dvd it works fine and the install gives me a choice of ,Basic / Premium / Pro /Ultimate.Why does it work on a dvd but not the flash drive ?i can use the dvd but it would be good to have it all on a flsh drive
Can anyone figure this out? Operating Windows 7 (64 bit). Adobe Flash Player was working fine couple of days ago; after a Windows update, it no longer works. Tried to reinstall Adobe Flash 11, goes through installation process, completes it, brings up box that says "you are now using Adobe Flash Player 11." However, I can't watch videos.
My laptop is a COMPAQ 6910p 1 Gb. Ram, running WINDOWS 7 PREMIUM. I need to download and install MACROMEDIA ADOBE FLASH PLAYER! I don't know why I have not been able to DOWNLOAD and INSTALL it. I had been trying for the last three days and What can I do to solve this problem?
I recently built myself a new system from scratch, and plan to install Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit onto it using an OEM copy I purchased from retail. I had planned to save money on my new machine by not installing an optical drive, since I have no need for one. My original intent was to take the optical drive out of my old machine and use it just to install Windows, but in short-sightedness didn't realize my old optical drive is not compatible with my new motherboard. After a bit of research, I have found a number of websites detailing methods of installing Windows 7 using a USB Flashdrive. I have an 8GB Flashdrive so I had hoped to work-around my problem through this method, but ran into a new problem. All of the guides require that the data be copied from the disk to the flashdrive using Windows 7/Vista, and on my old machine I am using Windows XP (which from my limited understanding, doesn't play friendly with USB drives). I found a couple of other articles detailing a more complicated method that works with XP, BUT doesn't work for me, because my copy of XP is 32-bit and the copy of Windows 7 I want to use is 64-bit.
I don't know anyone with a copy of Vista/7 64-bit already to use or with a compatible optical drive to borrow, and I really hope to avoid buying an optical drive just to install Windows.
Does anyone know of a method that I can get the information I need to install Windows 7 64-bit onto a USB Flashdrive using Windows XP 32-bit? Or any other way to get my DVD of Windows 7 installed onto my DVD drive-less computer?
I just bought a now CPU with Windows 7 64-bit. I'm using IE 8.On a few internet sites, I'm told that I need the lastest version of Adobe Flash Player. After I down load it (from the Adobe site),I'm still told that I need it. When I check the un-install a program screen, it's there. When I tried to install the player again, the screen tells me that it's already installed. I also find a "fix" for IE 8 and Adobe Flash Player that I down loaded from there site. Still no luck with IE 8.I installed Goggle Crome on the advise of a friend and the same internet sit that told me to install the player is working find.Is there any way to get IE 8 to reconize Adobe Flash Player.
i know i know... there's tons of threads about making flash drive bootable, put windows 7 onto flash drive and even has a post said ... installing windows 7 onto drive ... but no answer...i have bootable windows cd a laptop with bootable usb port capability... i am NOT trying to make a bootable windows 7 flash drive...i am trying to install windows 7 onto this removeable drive so if my hdd really dies, i can just use this flash drive as a hdd to continue do what i am doing light weight computer tasks
I have Win 7 x64. I'm trying to use a program that I'm convinced is looking for flash player in the system32 directory. So how do I install flash player to system32 and not to SysWOW64?
I have an HP laptop which I recently upgraded from Windows XP Pro to Windows 7.
The flash drive (Lexar Firelfy 2GB) I was using on the XP OS can no longer be read under the Windows 7 OS. Information are stored in it (I am able to access it with computers other than mine), but my computer does not see them.
I have also tried different flash drives with the same results. Under disk management, my computer detects the flash drive but is unable to read it.
I have Windows 7 Ult-64 installed on my desktop. I made a USB flash drive with the installation files, so I know I can boot using a flash drive. I would like to be able to boot into Windows 7 using only a flash drive (no hard drives connected). Is this possible?
Would it be possible to install Windows 7 x64 Ultimate onto my 32GB USB Flash Drive as a portable OS on the go? I'm not talking about creating a Windows 7 Installation USB Flash Drive as an alternative to a DVD Installation, I'm talking about being able to have Windows 7 x64 Ultimate OS on a USB drive.
I'm asking because I need to be able to have another Windows OS on a separate drive in order for me to be able to Secure Erase my OCZ RevoDrive PCI-E SSD using OCZ Toolbox.
In order to be able to Boot from a flash drive , I understand this ability must be enabled in ones system .I have a desktop and a new laptop in neither of which do I see this choice .I presume this is a choice originally installed on the m/b and it would not , therefore , be possible to use software to enable it ?
