Win 7 Not Letting Me Install Anything
Since installing Win 7 RC on a completely new partition, I'm not able to run any .exe files online nor on CD. It's saying file is corrupt and needs to run Chkdsk. It runs Chkdsk at reboot, deletes some index files and cycle starts all over. Even Windows Update doesn't work. Getting a " Service is not Running error" Can go online but if I try to download a program it hangs and says "Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet site. site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Try later"

XP And 7 Install Issues (Won't Boot Into Win 7 Install)
I have XP SP2 installed. I used EASEUS Partition Master to split my drive in half, one half being XP, the other half being a future install of Windows 7. Put DVD in, selected the blank partition, began the install. Once it gets to the first reboot, it will reboot and go straight into XP. There is no option to choose Windows 7. The XP boot.ini has only one entry for XP. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm thinking I need to add an entry for Windows 7, but have no clue what to put and I'm also guessing I'd have to add a few special tags because it's booting into the setup process of Win 7.

Can Win 7 Professional Install Over Win 7 RC Ultimate ?
I have pre-ordered Windows 7 Professional upgrade & the more I read up on this, I don't know if my upgrade path will work. I had Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit on an HP laptop, I was having issues with the Vista o/s, so I installed the Windows 7 RC & everything works just fine at least til June 2010. my question is will the Windows 7 Professional o/s install over the Windows 7 RC Ultimate? I have my Vista Home Premium license # still on my laptop, but I don't have any Vista backups that actually work, I made a backup following HP's instructions(I was only allowed to make 1 copy)just after I purchased. If I can't get Windows 7 Professional to work on this laptop I will just cancel my pre-order & save myself $99.

Can I Install Win 7 X32 Bit Then Later To Win 7 X64 Bit With Same Licence Key ?
I currently run Windows XP x32 bit Operating System. I have ordered the "full retail" version of Windows 7. I understand that 2 discs will be enclosed in the box, one for installing Windows 7 x32 bit and the other for installing Windows 7 x64 bit. I understand that I need to choose whether I want the x32 bit or x64 bit Windows 7 Operating System and install the 1 I choose at that point. I am quite happy with that. However, what I would like to do is initially install the Windows 7 x32 bit system and in about 6 months (when I have upgraded my hardware sufficiently) then move on to the x64 bit Windows 7 Operating System.  Can I do this with the same 1 licence that comes with the full retail version I have just ordered or will I need to buy another copy of Windows 7 ? It would not bother me if I had to do a "clean install" to move from x32 bit to x64 bit.

Win 7 Install On New Drive
I am purchasing an upgrade copy of Windows 7 and want to do a clean install on my Vista machine. I want to purchase a second hard drive to install the new operating system for a "clean install" and use my old drive as as secondary drive. I am not interested in running Vista from it, only the software installed on the old drive. Can this be done? If so, how? I really would appreciate your help. Both are serial drives.

BSOD On Win 7 RC Install
Trying to install the 32 bit Win 7 RC on my laptop and get to the very last step (at least I think it's the last step...). I'm doing an Upgrade install from Vista Home Premium using a USB stick. The PC reboots, 'Starting Windows' and gets to a screen showing 'Setup is starting services'. Then I get the dreaded blue screen and am stuck in a blue screen loop. Each time I get a different blue screen but the most common one references wanarp.sys (page_fault_in_nonpaged_area). I've tried booting from the USB stick and doing a repair but that didn't fix it. Tried the Memory Diagnostics - no problems detected.  Tried F8, then 'Repair your computer', which restored me back to Vista - aaaargh, wasn't expecting that.... I assume it's a driver error but how can I fix it next time I try the install? Laptop spec: Dell M1330, T7500 2.2 Ghz, 2GB RAM, Nvidea GEForce 8400M GS, Bluetooth, Wireless N

Win 7 Clean Install
I am currently running build 7600 of Windows 7, I did a clean install without formatting the drive over windows vista premium 64bit and then removed the windows.old folder via the directions found on this board. My question is, that when I download my copy of Windows 7 off of digitalriver (I'm a college student) what is it I need to do in order to have a clean install? I've heard numerous reports that say I wouldn't have to install anything because build 7600 is the final version, and all I would need to do is enter the product key given on my upgrade version.

Do I Need To Have XP Installed First To Install Win 7 ?
My school offers software at a discount for students. I'm building a new system and wanted to take advantage of this discount, but it looks like they only sell the "upgrade" version. Do I need to have XP installed first to install 7? Or can I treat it like a regular OS install? http://www.journeyed.com/item/Microsoft/Windows+7/100968264LARS?show=specs

Can You Install Win 7 To A SD Card?
I have looked around the net a bit to see if this was possible, and I have received mixed feelings after my findings. I recently purchased a new Toshiba Satellite that came with Windows Vista, and a free upgrade to Windows 7 on release. I am wondering if I am able to put a 32GB SDHC card into the read slot and have it be considered my main hard drive that Windows is on, and use the internal drive (which I swapped out for a Scorpio Black) as storage. Why, or why not?

Is It Possible To Install Win 7 RC Without Bootloader ?
Right now my laptop is running ubuntu jaunty and using GRUB as the bootloader. My past experience is that windows installs will overwrite my primary HD boot sector and put in its own bootloader. I feel fairly confident that I can tweak grub to run Win7 RC if I can get it to not install its own bootloader since otherwise I would lose access to my ubuntu install which I use for everything. I have to admit, I lost faith in MS with Vista's release and switched over to GNU/Linux but would like to give Win7 a shot and see if it may be bringing windows back into a productive state. If anyone knows of a way to tweak the install process to bypass a bootloader that would be helpful.Â

Install On Partition That Contains Win 7 RC
I know that I could not upgrade Windows 7 RC to Windows 7 (both are/were 64-bit). When I received the Windows 7 DVDs from Amazon I booted from the DVD, selected Custom install, and proceeded to install. It seems to work OK, except for one problem involving Quicken (both versions 2008 and 2010) crashing when I attempt to open a Quicken data file. (This crash occurs before it even displays the File Open dialog, so a corrupted file would not be the issue). My question for this forum is: Did I do the right thing to select "Custom Install"? Are there any remnants of the RC release left in the newly installed OS (I assumed there would not be - if there are, that means I have a unholy combination of released and beta software, a recipe for trouble)?  Should I have used the "Advanced" install functions to simply reformat the drive and thus ensure that no traces of the RC release remain (I didn't look at "Advanced" that closely, but assume that it supports that)? I did one unusual thing, which I don't believe should cause problems. I have a client with legacy 16-bit software who might want to go to Windows 7 (32-bit). Therefore, I first installed Windows 7 32-bit (using the procedure described above).  I did not activate it but simply did a few tests, then proceeded to install Windows 7 64-bit, again using the procedure described above. Before installing the 64-bit version, I renamed the Windows.Old (created by the 32-bit install) to Windows7RC.old, so that I would not lose any information. Disturbingly, the new Windows.Old directory (Program Files (x86) subdirectory) contains remnants of programs that I never installed on the short-lived Windows 7 32-bit installation (specifically Visual Studio).

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.

Different Errors Every Time When Trying To Install Win 7
I am experiencing different problems when trying to install Windows 7 One is. During "Loading windows..." i get a bluescreen saying "UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME" Another is. I got into the installation program but immediately i get the error dialog: "The exception unknown software exception (0xe0000100) occurred in the application at location 0x75e59617" Last time I tried several times, and got messages like UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME several times, and sometimes got something similar to mboot.dll being corrupted or some such.. The 2nd out of a total of 3 attempts I made right now actually got me into the installation process, I was able to do everything until I got to the partition format/selection step, at which point I decided to abort at my own discretion, because I'm paranoid about winding up with an unbootable, uninstallable disk partition... Any help would be appreciated. The only way I see this being "fixed", is by buying another disk to use specifically for Win7, and then formatting my current OS partition after successfully installing on that...

Win 7 Will Not Install (Freezes During Starting)
When trying to custom upgrade from XP to Windows 7, every time my HDD (or when booting directly from the DVD) gets to "Starting Windows" my computer freezes. My Hard Drive stops actively trying to do anything, and the DVD stops spinning. I've left it there for a few hours (approx 9) to see if anything would resolve to no avail. I've cloned my old hard drive to a brand new drive, and the new one would still run and operate XP with no issues. For this install I disabled my original harddrive in the BIOS, booted up on my new one into XP, and ran through the setup.exe on the DVD. After installing some updates, my computer rebooted to begin installing. After going through the "Loading Files" and completing that, the "Starting Windows" screen comes up. At this time, my computer stops. It's an exact "freeze" as the Windows Logo is still pulsating, but nothing happens beyond here. This has also completely locked out my new hard drive from being able to boot into XP again. All it now does is go back into the install from boot, go through loading files, and then stop at "Starting Windows". Please note this is with or without the DVD inserted. Also, my computer passed the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor with the exclusion of being able to run Aero (described as optional).

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.
