Win 7 Enterprise TRIAL, Install From USB Drive Or CDs
i all I'm downloading W7 Enterprise TRIAL (90days). I have read in FAQS:
Q: How do I create an installation DVD?
A: Insert a blank DVD into your PC’s DVD drive. Navigate to the downloaded Windows 7 Enterprise 90-Day Trial file. Right-click the file and select Burn disc image , then click the Burn button when the Windows Disc Image Burner dialog appears. A bootable DVD is created. Alternatively, you can commercially-available or free DVD burning programs.
But is possible extract this ISO and "burn" in USB drive or CDS instead of DVD? And Install W7 from USB drive or CDs?

Upgrade From Win 7 Pro MSDN To Enterprise Trial
I am just wondering if it is possible to "upgrade" from Windows 7 Professional (RTM, MSDNAA version) to the Enterprise 90-days Trial, and this, just by entering a "trial" serial number.In fact, I am at the Microsoft's club of my university, and I am in charge of Bitlocker / Bitlocker To Go, I have to write documentation on it, as we've been testing Ultimate RC, we got this feature, but now, we have Professional RTM which lack this feature. We managed to get very robust installations (with VPN, drivers and development tools alongside with SQL and SharePoint installation), we prefer not to reinstall/upgrade all PCs and get any risk. Son my question is: is it possible to retrieve "trial key" from the ISO we got to do something like an "Anytime Onsite Upgrade" by just modifying the serial?

Warning Message For 90 Trial Version Of W7 Enterprise
I am an IT professional doing Oracle application development remotely for a client. I want to see if the business applications I am running for my client and my company work under Windows 7. What exactly does Microsoft mean when they say "We do not recommend that you install this if you are a not an IT Professional or not professionally managing corporate networks"? Is there something about the trial version that is different from the version that we will get when we purchase the OS?

Win 7 Enterprise Will Not Install Any Programs
I have downloaded, installed and activated Windows 7 RTM enterprise on Monday, Oct. 05.(edit: activated today, Oct. 06) I have installed my drivers and windows has updated. But, I cannot install any programs, including MSE, Firefox and McAfee. Those were the only packages I tried because I need to get AV protection. The main message that I get is " the client full install package has stopped working", and then it checks for answers. I have checked the services and found that "Windows Install" was not active. I started it and set it to Auto, but this made no change. I have sent information to MS but have had no response so far. (edit: I installed and when it didn't work I formatted the drive and installed again, with no change in the problem) I have run Windows 7 32 bit RC, and Windows 7 64 bit RC for about one month on this hardware with very few problems. I don't believe it is the hardware or drivers that are causing the problem.

KVM USB Ports Not Working With Win 7 64 Bit Enterprise
I have a four port KVM managing two computers. The USB ports for devices like printers aren't working for the Windows 7 box but they work just fine on my XP machine hooked up to the KVM. This tells me it is an issue with my Windows 7 box and not the KVM itself. When I plug the printer into the KVM USB port, Windows 7 makes the sound like it is adding a device. However, no message pops up about installing the driver and no printer shows up in the control panel. Additionally, when I try to manually add the printer Windows 7 does not see the USB001 port like my XP box does. Uninstalling/re-installing the USB host controllers via the device manager doesn't work either. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Windows 7 Enterprise Clean Install Vs Deployment Workbench Deploy Drive Configuration
When installing Windows 7 Enterprise x64 clean, I get a "System Reserved" 100MB system partition without a drive letter at the beginning of the disk. I also get a "C" drive boot partition. I like this. When deploying through Deployment Workbench (2010 Beta2), the "C" drive is System, Boot, etc. at the beginning of the disk, then there is a 300MB "D" drive named "BDEdrive" and at the end of the disk is 11MB unallocated space. I don't like this so much. How can I get Deployment Workbench to mirror the clean installation configuration?

Install Win 7 On USB Drive
I have seen questions about installing from a USB reader. What I would like to do is install Win 7 on a USB HDD. I have seen nothing on this that was helpful. I have a basic case and 2gb of memory, usb reader and 600gb. It sees the usb HDD and Windows 7 boots from the usb reader. It looks good until it gets ready to install then I get this statement "Windows 7 can not be installed on this drive". I then click on more info and get "Windows 7 can not be installed on drive 2. Then gives several possible causes." None of the causes are valid.

How To Install Win 7 From A USB Drive ?
my friends followed this tutorial and installed Windows 7 from USB. Its for windows vista but still works for 7 - ORIGINAL POST I've been thinking about writing a post about "How to install Windows Vista from a USB Flash Drive" for a while but just never got around to doing it. What got me thinking about it was a post on Josh's board (windowsconnected.com) about running WinPE from a bootable USB Flash drive and it seems to me like there's be a lot of folks that would want to install Windows Vista entirely from a USB Flash drive as well. WHY INSTALL FROM USB FLASH DRIVE? Why would someone want to install a client OS from a thumb drive instead of a DVDROM or over the network? One reason: Performance. Installing Windows Vista from a high speed USB flash drive is in my experience the easiest & fastest way to complete a Windows Vista install. This is much faster than using a DVD, gigabit ethernet, or possibly even some external USB 2.0 hard drives, due to differences in access speed & transfer rate. To put this into perspective, y'know how installing Windows on a Virtual PC virtual machine from an .ISO CD image is really, really, really fast? Imagine something roughly just as fast, except for doing installations of the OS on to actual workstations. STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS Here's some step-by-step instructions on how we do this, some of which was adapted from Josh's instructions, again, kudos to Josh. 1. Acquire an ultra-fast USB 2.0 flash drive The drive I and my coworkers recommend is the Apacer 4GB Handy Steno USB Flash Drive HT203, 200X Hi-Speed USB 2.0. It's the fastest USB 2.0 Flash Drive that we've found - it has a read speed of 25MBytes/sec. & a write speed-14MBytes/sec and also works great as a ReadyBoost cache. You can get them from $56.99 each: http://www.directron.com/ht2034g.html Incidentally, once you've got Windows Vista up and running, you may want to consider getting an ultra-fast SDFlash card, installing it into your laptop or desktop, and leaving it there as a ReadyBoost cache. Why? It can't hurt and they're so cheap that it's worth getting. I personally got a SDFlash card for every one of my machines - the A-DATA 2GB Secure Digital Memory Card, 150X Turbo SD Card has a read speed of more than 22.5MB/s and a write speed of more than 15MB/s. You can get them for $19.99 each: http://supermediastore.com/adata-2gb-sd ... -150x.html 2. Format the Apacer Flash Drive Run CMD.EXE and type the following. Note: This set of commands assumes that the USB flash drive is addressed as "disk 1". you should double check that by doing a list of the disks (type "list disk") before cleaning it. If you have multiple hard drives, like an SDFlash drive or a Multibay drive, you could end up wiping your second drive using this command. (This was a warning that Josh added to his post along with the following commands that I copied from him, so kudos to Josh) 1. diskpart 2. select disk 1 3. clean 4. create partition primary 5. select partition 1 6. active 7. format fs=fat32 8. assign 9. exit 3. Copy Windows Vista's DVD ROM content to the Flash Drive Simply issue the following command to start copying all the content from the Windows Vista DVD to your newly formatted high speed flash drive. * xcopy d:*.* /s/e/f e: And that's it. Boot up the machine, have it boot off the USB drive, and watch how fast the installation completes. If you thought Windows Vista installed quickly before then let's see how you like it now. The slowest part of the install will probably be the computer waiting for you to type in information in the setup fields, and even that can be automated using the Windows Automated Installation Kit.

Can I Install Win 7 Onto An External USB Hard Drive ?
i've seen other answers to the question and I did managed to use it successfully with Windows XP with an external USB HDD. I would not recommend it on a thumbdrive (flash memory) beccause the temp file usage will kill the drive in days or weeks. But the external HDD works great. I can't provide all the exact details on how to do it, so please don't ask, but here's an excellent reference as a starting point for you: http://www.911cd.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=14181 The only thing you have to remember is that, in spite of dire warnings about how impossible it is, it actually can be done and works just great.

Unable To Install Win 7 On External Usb Hard Drive
Connected the external 160GB SATA hard drive using USB cable to Lenovo R61 laptop. Bootup the laptop with Windows 7 RC setup DVD disc. The Windows 7 installation recognised the external hard drive but when installing a the point to select the external hard drive as destination hard drive in custom setup, an error message prompted saying Windows 7 could not install on hard drive connected by usb. Inserted the external hard drive into the laptop and install Windows 7 without problem. Then took out the imaged hard drive and put it back into the external hard drive enclosure, connected back to the laptop and boot up from external hard drive. Got prompted to repair. After repair successful, Windows 7 kept reboot and prompted for repair. My questions are (1) any way to install Windows 7 to external hard drive connecting by usb? and (2) any way to rescue the image that already in the external hard drive so that it can bootup normally?

Upgrade Vista Enterprise X64 To Win 7 Enterprise X64
I'm trying to upgrade my Vista Enterprise x64 to Windows 7 Enterprise x64 by using the MSDN DVD. This is the Italian version of the Windows 7 Enterprise DVD (x64 and x86), upgrading an Italian installation of Windows Vista Enterprise x64. When I run the installer, it asks me to select between the x64 version of the OS and the x86 version. I select the x64 version. After thinking on it for a while, the installer kicks me out saying that I can't upgrade from a 64 bit version to a 32 bit version, even though I selected the 64 bit version. If nothing else works, I'll download the 64-bit only ISO from the website, but I'd rather save the hassle - has anyone else had a similar problem?

Reformatting Hard Drive With Cds And The Product Key
I'm going to be reformatting my hard drive. However this time around I realized I might have a problem. I originally purchased my pc with windows vista, but then when windows 7 came out I purchased it and immediately installed it on my computer. Bottom line, the factory image of my drive contains windows vista and my current operating system is windows 7. So, If i go ahead and reformat my hard drive my system will revert back to windows vista (right?). I still have the windows 7 installation cds and the product key. So, can I just reformat and then just simply reinstall windows 7 with the cds and the product key? Or is it more complicated than that?

Dell T5400 CD ROM Drive CDs Issue
I just installed Windows 7 64-bit on a Dell T5400, using the CD ROM drive. I upgraded from XP so this was a clean W7 install. After the installation, Windows Explorer sees the CD ROM drive, but will not recognize any CD which is in the drive. Clicking on the CD ROM always produces the message "Insert a Disc. Please insert a disc into drive D:". Within a few seconds the CD ROM is ejected and the D: drive disappears from the Windows Explorer display in the folder pane on the left, although it is still listed if I select Computer.

DVD / CDRW Drive Not Reading Audio (redbook) Cds
I have a clean install (installed from a USB key, so not an issue with a bad burn) of Win7 x64 build 7100, and everything has worked perfectly... except my Lite On DVD/CDRW is not seeing audio CDs (ie Windows Media Player lists the drive as having no disc inserted).

Enterprise X64 Install From DVD Fails
I've already successfully installed Windows 7 Enterprise x64 from DVD onto a Dell Precision T5400 with ease and i didn't expect this problem on my other PC. In that case it was installed onto a single SATA drive. In this case, it's a little bit more complicated. The motherboard is an Abit IX38 QuadGt with an Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 CPU with the relevant virtualisation options enabled in the BIOS. I'm using the Intel RAID controller. I've already got XP installed on a striped pair of disks with one drive failing. I've another mirrored pair for data and I've just added a 3rd mirrored pair onto which I was hoping to install Windows 7. Windows 7 boots from the DVD, I select the language and keyboard, I get the Install Now button after which I get the error "Windows could not display the images available for installation" and can go no further. What does this message mean? Can anyone suggest a way forward?

Win 7 Enterprise RC1, BSOD
I got a BSOD on Windows 7 Entterprise RC1. On debugging MEMORY.DMP on WinDbg it gives following result. KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (8e) This is a very common bugcheck. Usually the exception address pinpoints the driver/function that caused the problem. Always note this address as well as the link date of the driver/image that contains this address. Some common problems are exception code 0x80000003. This means a hard coded breakpoint or assertion was hit, but this system was booted /NODEBUG. This is not supposed to happen as developers should never have hardcoded breakpoints in retail code, but ... If this happens, make sure a debugger gets connected, and the system is booted /DEBUG. This will let us see why this breakpoint is happening. Arguments: Arg1: c0000005, The exception code that was not handled Arg2: 82fb1885, The address that the exception occurred at Arg3: 94b63810, Trap Frame Arg4: 00000000 I was downloading an OS from MSDN and machine was locked. When I tried login again after approaximately 1 hr BSOD happened.

Win 7 Enterprise KMS Activation Errors
Here is the setup: My KMS server/host is a Windows 2003 Server Machine with the latest download for KMS activation (1.2 or 1.3). I have a number of hosts that I'm trying to authenticate with the KMS host. They all use the DNS information from DHCP to find the KMS host and register. I get event ID's from both the Host and Clients that say they have tried to activate: An activation request has been processed. Info: 0x0,25,jolly-PC,a5dda329-a07b-4a5c-bf05-26e1e2ece080,2009/10/6 18:10,0,2,43200,ae2ee509-1b34-41c0-acb7-6d4650168915 Yet the count does not go up. I'm guessing this part: a5dda329-a07b-4a5c-bf05-26e1e2ece080 is the client machine ID number. They are all different when they are trying to register for each computere that tries. The only part that is the same is the last part, which must be the server's ID. What features is the Host looking for before it adds to the count? If the CMID is different on all of these requests, why is it not rising? These machines have all had their SIDS changed. What am I missing? I'm using Symantec Ghost to image these machines, GhostWalk to change the SIDS after they are imaged and I slmgr -rearm'ed the machines' to clear the CMID and force a new one before I uploaded the image. That should be all I need to do in order to get unique machines. I'm definitely new working with Windows 7 (skipped completely over Vista and any imaging that has to do with it) and may have to talk to Symantec as well to clarify changes. I have not used sysprep on the machines before uploading the image to be used.

Install From USB Drive Tutorials
This guide works 100% for Vista and Windows 7, in contrast to most of the leaders there. I have many sites / blogs that you install Vista on a USB controller, but with incomplete or not Started Guide. I also have some guides that are not “the proper use of commands in this manual. After many hours I have with this guide to 100%. I just did this method on one of my friends machine and installed the new Windows 7 BETA. The main advantage is that by using USB drive you will be able to install Windows 7/Vista in just 15 minutes. You can also use this bootable USB drive on friend’s computer who doesn’t have a DVD optical drive. The method is very simple and you can use without any hassles. Needless to say that your motherboard should support USB Boot feature to make use of the bootable USB drive.

Guide Install Windows 7 From A USB Drive
Step by step tutorial. Took me about 6 minutes. Installs from a flash drive tend to take about 75% of the time it takes with a DVD. On my C2Q Q6600 it meant 20 mins instead of 29. This is for those who are having issues with running from a DVD, or just want to try it out/get it done faster. Note: Back up the files from your USB drive, as it WILL get formatted in this process and all data on it will be lost! 1. Get a USB Drive, it must be at least 4 GB. 2. Plug the drive into your PC. 3. Open a command prompt as administrator. (Right click, Open as Admin, or Ctrl+Shift+Click) 4. Get the drive number by typing: diskpart list disk On my machine the USB disk was number 1. 5. Format the drive by typing: select disk 1 clean create partition primary select partition 1 active format fs=NTFS assign exit 6. Mount the Windows 7 beta iso or insert the disk. 7. Navigate to the boot directory cd E:oot (Where E is the drive letter of the DVD) 8. Using bootsect, we’ll make the USB drive a bootable NTFS drive, ready for a Windows 7 image: bootsect /nt60 F: (Where F is the drive letter of the USB Drive) 9. Close the command prompt 10. Copy the installation files from the mounted Windows 7 iso/disk to the USB drive. 11. Reboot the PC, and enter the BIOS (OR you can move to the boot manager menu, usually by pressing F10 if supported) 12. Set the boot priority to boot the USB drive first. 13. Install Windows 7.
