win 7 keeps repeating process of installation; w/o cd inserted "no boot device recognized" appears though WD Caviar Blue 320 GB HD is there. In DOS, no installations of Windows are recognized and attempts to rebuild MBR through CMD Prompt shows successful.Only 2-3 sectors of HD test showed bad sectors of 150 or less...shouldn't prevent clean install?
View 1 RepliesThe 2 updates are:Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 4 on XP, Server 2003, Vista, Windows 7, Server 2008, Server 2008 R2 for x64 (KB2656351)and Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 4 on XP, Server 2003, Vista, Windows 7, Server 2008, Server 2008 R2 for x64 (KB2600217)Both are indicated as successfully installed in WIndows update history, but immediately after the install has completed, Windows Updates indicates these 2 updates must be installed!One final bit of info that may, or may not be useful. The only new piece of software I have installed recently is the Dragon Naturally Speaking product from Nuance. It seems to have a Common Software Manager service that now runs in background but I have no indication that this is linked to the WIndows Update problem.

View 5 Replies View RelatedThis is really strange. I have an ASUS X53E laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. I use it with an USB Dell keyboard and USB mouse. One day, without warning (I always wanted to use that phrase), the laptop started to send a lowercase letter Q to any command line window open.I thought it was a problem with the USB mouse and changed it. But the problem continue. Every time I left the laptop alone for a couple of minutes, when I return using the keyboard of mouse it start sending a 'q'.

I am installing Windows 7 (Custom installation initiated from Windows XP) but I get the following error message when the installation is on the "Installing updates" step of the installation:
"Setup cannot continue due to a corrupted installation file. Contact the vendor of your Windows installation disc or your system administrator for assistance."
Do you have any idea what the problem may be with the installation? Is there a way to see what file that may be corrupted?
I have tried to burn the DVD in low speed, but the error appears anyway. I have a MSI K8T Neo2-Fir mainboard and the Windows 7 upgrade advisor application says that my hardware is okay for upgrading.
First, my laptop is a Aspire 5250-BZ853. I received it back in October, I think...may've been earlier. But anyhow, it was working just fine yesterday until I did a Windows Update. I had to restart, and it was fine again. But then it began running sluggishly slow, and just terrible overall so I restarted it once more and that was when the problems began.
This entire day, this has been driving me nuts. I have important files on here, and I backed up most on my external harddrive a bit ago but there were a few I missed and hadn't the chance to get (ironically enough the most important, papers and such.) At first, it said my password was wrong -- as if someone had changed it! I restarted it once more, thinking it an error or something, and did that again so I restarted it again. Finally, it worked but I think it logged me in as safe mode somehow. After that, it restarted on its own and began this loop. I did a LOT of searching on Google until finally someone suggested to someone else to try pressing "ALT + F10" I think it was as it was starting, and finally I made progress. Before that, it was just going into a constant rebooting loop and I couldn't even log into safe mode. Trying to reset it back to a time it was working was futile, because it said there was no recovery time there! So that shot that idea down. At last, I got somewhere.as well. I clicked the reset to factory settings, but still keep all the files (and they would be saved to "C:Backup" and I thought it had finally worked. But now as it reinstalls, I got an error saying something about how it needed to restart or something...so when I clicked "okay" it began again, and finally it all just came to a stop on "Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows on this computer, restart the installation."
I had purchased Windows 7 upgrade about 2 years ago, downloaded and saved it as an ISO CD. I just had to format my hard drive and re-install. The installation completed but never asked for my Key Code. I checked Control Panel > System and found a temporary key code valid only for 15 days. When I changed the key code, I was advised of a "failure" because this Windows 7 was an "upgrade." Yes, I had upgraded from XP. Must I re-install XP and then install W-7 as an upgrade?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm currently changing my Acer Revo R3610 from Linux to Windows 7. I'm downloading it from Microsoft as we speak. It's been a very long time since I ever loaded a new OS, i'm downloading the ISO files to load straight from a USB stick but there is part 1 and part 2 download. I have the tool for creating a bootable USB but do I down't understand how you can do that with 2 ISO files, surely part 1 (2.3gb) is the file to choose when creating this. What is part 2?Lastly do I just tell the BIOS to boot straight from the USB and let the installation do the rest or am I missing something?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to install Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit on a 64GB SSD. The most articles about Windows 7 installation on the net focus on SSD itself, but I wonder what to do with the existing HDD, before and after installing W7 on SSD.Since there are several software and drivers already on the HDD, I don't want to format it, but obviously I don't need to leave the Windows OS on HDD once it is installed on SSD. I guess I shouldn't just erase the windows folder there, since there are registries and other information related to the whole system functionality. I have a retail version Windows 7 disk.

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy question is surrounding installation of windows and how it works. I am a nerd and play quite a bit of games, I have(had) a 120g SSD that I had windows and the smaller stuff on. Then I have a 2tb hdd that I stored all of the large programs on so I could keep the ssd @ around 50% or lower capacity(was told this was important).Well my SSD seems to have failed, I trouble shooted it through bios and its not recognized even if I swap it with my 2tb hdd that is being recognized. So my question is can I install Windows on my 2tb HDD that already has files on it and be able to access the files just as I previously did when I had windows on my ssd?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI re-installed windows three days ago. Since then, it has completely frozen (requiring a hard reset) 4 times, twice in a row today, and twice in a row the day before yesterday.
My specs are as follows:
AMD Phenom II X6 1055T
M4A89GTD-PRO
6GB A-Data DDR3 RAM
ASUS EAH5770 CUcore
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
I never had freezing issues before my new installation.
I've just installed Windows 7 on top of my old XP machine. For the first hour I had no problems connecting to the internet. I downloaded antivirus protection (AVG) and Comodo firewall and windows 7 began updating itself. The comodo firewall download stalled and I had to manually reboot the computer. It seemed to start fine in normal mode and windows finished updating itself. Since then however (i.e. after the reboot) I have not been able to access the internet with an 'error 651" message displaying. I removed both AVD and Comodo with no change in the situation. I also did a system restore to before the windows updates, still no luck.
I access the internet via a broadband modem connected to a router. I don't have the full details of the models with me now but can repost in about five hours with the details if needed. I've searched online and note that many have said I should replace the raspppoe.sys file.
Since this is a brand new instal, should I just re-install Windows 7?

First things first. Brand new discovery! Did you know that it's impossible not to backing-up and lose your old files during Windows 7 installation? That's right! Microsoft contradicting it-self in the first steps of installation preparation step by step information. At first they say that we should back-up our old files as they WILL BE deleted. Then they practically force an option of where our old Windows files will be backed up into Windows.old folder. So the folders such as "Users, Program Files, Windows ...etc" will be stored in Windows.old folder. And any other files created by you that are stored in "C:" directory will remain untouched! So don't worry about upgrading or backing up anything, since Windows 7 does it all for you! My advice, just go with a clean install and you'll be safer that way. Now back to business. Have you ever experienced a really bad day with such as Windows 7?Possible solutions for your headache have finally arrived:We need to try almost everything possible in our powers to locate and solve the problems, right?NOTE: I'm gonna do these steps backwards like if we don't really know how to solve this quick!
