I was having problems with a computer with a win 7 ultimate installation. Ran Spinrite and found errors, they were corrected. When trying to reboot - something was wrong. So decided to do a clean install from the original disk. This is the same disk used for the previous clean install.Once disk started and accepted the terms of service choose Install - Custom and formatted the drive... really wanted a clean install. After the format chose next and the install seems to start normally. During the "Expand Windows Files"?, I think that is what it says the following error comes up...Windows cannot install required files. Make sure all files for installation are available. 0x80070079.
then i tried to install windows 7 ultimate from inside the windows 8.after the end of installtion during completeing step installtion stops responding.and my winddowss not installed andd my previously installed windddow also stops working.and after i tried to install winodw from dvd but after all setting and drive setting when then actual installation strtts .the first step which is coping files completes in 1 sec. and go to second step and stop responding.
I encountered an error that stated:windows can not be installed to this disk the selected disk has an MBR partition table on EFI systems, windows can only be installed to GPT disks."

clean install to mechanical not SSD so you can use ASUS software once WIN 7 installed to merge them with the "Marvell 9128 6GB port"...Regarding BIOS funnily enough I have seen images of the UEFI BIOS in forums with all 8 ports on the deluxe in SATA configuration in advanced settings however mine only shows six (and no duplicate for UEFI like other images of UEFI i've seen"?and I have updated the UEFI BIOS to the latest version..
I recently did a whole new build, new hard drive, mobo (GA-P35-DS3L/S3L) and processor. The problem is, I'm trying to install Windows 7 Ultimate and I come up with "Insert system disk and press enter" error when I try to boot from the disk. I checked the BIOS and the mobo had recognized the DVD drive and the hard drive. I tried putting the hard drive under slave and the DVD drive under master, and vice-versa. I am a high school student who generally gets lots of home work, so it would be nice to be able to type out my work.
i have been using windows 7 for a long time and it works great. but i have a problem. when i install steam it works perfect but when it tryes to update steam and it reach 20 % it says ERROR Steam.exe (main exception): ERROR: deleted steam.exe but the file is still there, so i try to run it as admin but there is no function that allows me to run steam or steam install as a admin. all other things i can run as a admin except steam i guess. and my UAC is not disabled its on recommended settings.
My dad downloaded lots of bloatware and phishing programs... I want to reformat his computer. He has windows 7 32bit ultimate installed. He has the disc for 32 and 64 bit upgrade cds. Can i switch his to the Windows 7 64 bit? If so, how?
I have a gateway desktop model gm-5483e with a motherboard ecs-945gct-m3 it came with vista home premium 32-bit what hardware do I need to swap out to make the 64-bit version run also I want to use it for some light gaming so how powerful can I go with the CPU right now its an Intel Pentium d925 dual core with each core at 3ghz
After Done Formatting My Computer I Installed The Sound Card And It Worked Perfectly Then I Download Graphic Media Accelarator And Then After Download When I Tried To Install It An Error Pop Out Saying Your System Doesn't Meet the minimum requirement
I'm not too sure on the motherboard So I formatted my WinXP drive, and tried to install Windows 7 Ultimate x86.Everything went fine until after the first reboot, "completing installation" it would just crash and everything froze, making me have to do a 5 sec forced shutdown.Then I tried again about 3 more times...Still same problem.I didn't get a photo, but here is an image I found on google images, similar to my situation, except for my laptop, it has stripes like that but the original image still is in the background.
I keep getting this message: Windows could not format a partition on disk 0. The error occurred while preparing the computer's system volume. Error Code: 0x80070057I have done several steps already, I opened the cmd and I did the following steps[CODE]
The way I have things set up right now is I've got Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit on my netbook and it's dualboot with Ubuntu 12.04 32-bit (beta); what I want to do (and I'm not sure if this is even possible) is get my existing Windows 7 installation to work in VirtualBox inside Ubuntu.Basically what I want to do, is dualboot Windows 7 but also be able to run that same installation (with all programs and settings) in a virtual machine when in Ubuntu.Anyways, is this even possible? And if so, how do I do this?(currently I'm trying to figure it out myself but I haven't had any luck; although I have yet to try everything)And the point is to be able to still dualboot while at the same time being able to run the same installation in a VM if needed.
I have Windows 7 Ultimate installed on an older PC and cannot get the service pack 1 to successfully install.At one time Microsoft Security Essentials was installed, but it has been uninstalled.I have tried with other virus scanners installed and with no security programs installed.I have searched the Microsoft forums
I have a new notebook with Win 7 Ultimate and added the xp mode so I could run my older programs. I am experiencing an application error �General Protection Default in Module WIN87EM.DLL". I researched the problem online and downloaded a file WIN87EM.DLL and added to the software directory. I also performed the compatibility option. The problem continues. My software is a horse handicapping system that processes past performance data files. I am able to start the software with no problem and even model one race file with no problem. Whenever I try to bulk model say 30 race files to build my database is when the error comes up. The software runs great on my old computer with Win XP..
I have a Intel i5 2500k 3.3Ghz, with 4GB memory running on windows 7 ultimate 64 bits. My problem is, since I changed the OS to this "more advanced", I cannot play Flight Simulator 2004 without this error message that closes the game. "Insufficient memory, please check your hard drive..." My system only has Flight Simulator installed, plus microsoft office and Avg antivirus (not counting with all the system updates, drivers etc). I don't understand this problem, because before this OS, I had Win XP 32 bits, with a lot more programs and addons installed and running, and I never had this problem...even with all the graphics pumped up to the max in the game. My graphic card is Asus En9800GT nvidia with 1gb ddr3 and HD with 400GB still to use (same board and HD used with XP).
I recently reinstalled windows 7 through the backup OS disk. When I type in my Activation Key for Windows 7 Ultimate it says :
"A problem occured when Windows tried to activate. Error Code 0xc004f063. Description: The Software licensing Service reported that the computer BIOS is missing a required licencse"
My computer shows Disk Volume Error every time I run system maintenance. I tried Chkdsk, disk cleanup and disk fragmentation, but it did not work. Also, my Local disk C is reporting only 8 GB of free memory. But in realty it has 17 GB free memory. Even I could not extend my disk volume through Disk Management.
I currently running Vista Home Premium and am finally moving to Win 7I have the bootable Windows 7 install disc and certainly want to do a clean installNow I'm a bit on the anal side so I really want the install to be clean and am considering doing a wipe on the drive, then booting from teh Win 7 install cd.Is this wipe needed? Or will I get a good, clean install by simply booting to the Win 7 install cd
I bought Windows 7 Ultimate which comes with the 32bit and 64bit dvd's. Right now I have the Windows 7 RC1 32bit installed but as we all know its gonna start acting up in March since it will start to expire.As the computer boots up with the dvd in the drive, all works fine until it starts asking for the dvd drivers. Yes, my drive is IDE. Not SATA. Do I really have to go buy a SATA cabled dvd drive to install windows 7? Second, is the fact that I have a 32 bit OS now, affecting the fact that it can't find the drivers? Is it because it's looking for 64 bit drivers when I have a 32 bit os now? I've already read up on this issue for the dvd drivers and it seems it was coming up alot even before the RTM versions and it seemed that redownloading an ISO was the solution aside from getting a SATA drive. But, I didn't download my copy. I have a real disc. I've already tried switching in the BIOS where my drive is set to RAID and moving it to IDE and then to the other option on there and no luck so far on getting it installed.
Could not install windows 7 ultimate.Had first formatted hard disk. Started window on disk and has gone through all the steps except the last. Fail at one of the reboot during installation.
I am useing win 7 ultimate 64 bit and I never made rescue cd I do have,files backed up on carbonite but no hard copy. I installed sp1 but got a fatal area code (C000009A ) and instructed to,insert instalation cd to corect witch is the point I have no idea what I did with it. How do I get another cd, a boot cd, or,restore win 7 ultimate to factory setting.
i am running windows 7 ultimate on my Dell Inspiron desktop. I keep getting error codes whenever i try to install the sp1. I have tried everything that Microsoft has recommended. I have used the update tool and even took all the language packs off my system. I am still having the same problems. All other updates run fine.
I have tried installing & uninstalling xp mode and vm 4 times with new downloads again and again to no avail. i have tried to install xp mode first and get the error 2203...I have installed vm first and then xp mode with the same result. Error 2203 on the web seems to be related to an installer problem yet I have installed many programs with no errors at all.
I have an HP Pavillion m9515y that I bought at a garage sale. This is a pretty meaty desktop (Quad processors, 8 GB of RAM) that was a little over a year old when I bought this past July. It had Vista freshly (re)installed on it when I bought it. Vista ran well enough, although it had its own issues, none of which were like these Hard-lock auto-reboots I keep getting. -original installed OS on the system? Vista, reinstalled from discs from the guy I bought it from
- an OEM or full retail version? 64-bit Ultimate that a friend who works in IT gave me. - What is the age of system (hardware)? - 1.5-2 years old. - What is the age of OS installation? About 1 month now, although I reinstalled it twice with other complications within one week before settling on the installation I have now.
I installed Windows 7 (with SP1 included) the first time in early Sept. and, after having done so, did an update of the drivers, most relevant were the network and display drivers. For some reason, after going into sleep mode the first time, it would not wake up. A hard reboot found that the wireless network card would not reconnect after doing this. Reading through some forums I found that others had a similar issue and had to reinstall, so I did. Also, I had installed overtop the preivious installation (which I thought I told it not to do), so reinstalling from scratch-scratch seemed like a good idea. I blew away partitions, recreated them, formatted and reinstalled, and after reinstalling most of the programs, I finally did the critical windows update, which, ironically, only crtically crippled the machine. Apparently it was related to the display driver (which later I corroborated - see below). Updating the NVidia GEForce SE driver to the latest 5-2011 driver caused it to simply hang at a black screen, never allowing a log on screen. I lived with this for several days--always rebooting into the last known good config--and decided to reinstall. (Mind you, I tried to do a Restore but it wouldn't let me for some reason, saying it may have something to do with an antivirus running, which I turned off and it still wouldn't do it.)So I reinstalled it a 3rd time about a month ago, resolving to do Windows Updates one at a time in order to 1) be able to roll it back just one update if it caused a problem and 2)discern which one/s were causing problems. Sure enough, the display driver recaused the black-screen login hang issue, so I rolled it back and chose not to reinstall it. As it is, I have the original 2009 driver. In a related issue, I believe the screen blacks out for several seconds on occasion due to this. I can live with that, but I can't live with the...
BSOD (Hard-lock auto-reboot), which happens every day or two. I have found it to lock up with some consistency when I'm browsing the internet (on mozilla or chrome) and then again sometimes when I'm listerning to music with media monkey. I just yesterday updated the sound card driver and it hasn't locked up while listening to music (yet). I'm at my wit's end. I do not want to reinstall again because I'm in graduate school for literature and don't have the time nor patience to deal with it (at least not during the quarter), which is why I've enlisted the help of the technical community. I used to work in IT back in the 90s and early 2000s, and got out of it precisely because I wasn't all that good at it. Of course, this knowledge has helped me somewhat in this process, at least knowing how to install, reinstall and update drivers, but I am need of the community.

This is my first build. I have upgraded Mobo bios to 3209. I get the BSOD when I try to load Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit. [0x0000007E] I know I have probably missed something.
I just got the windows ultimate 7 64 bit disc from Microsoft the other day. I have been trying to install it on my computer and everything goes well until the second reboot. At this point the computer freezes at the windows 7 splash screen. The 32 bit version installs perfectly without any problems.
I'm trying to install Windows 7 Ultimate, 64-bit on my desktop. I reformatted the harddisk and booted to the DVD. I've already checked the compatibility and was previously running Windows 7 Ultimate, 32-bit. In the computer properties, it did say that the processor (AMD Athlon 64x2) is capable of running 64-bit. When I boot to the DVD, it goes through the process and seems like it is working, but after a few automatic reboots, it just black-screens. At that point, if I reboot, it just black-screens again it.I am able to put 32-bit back on it, and it installs without problems, but am trying to get it setup to run SharePoint dev tools. Is there something additional I need to do to install 64-bit that was running 32-bit?
I have an unusual problem which I could not find any answer so far.My version of Windows 7 is the Ultimate 64-bit, and lately I cannot install many 64-bit programs as it appears a message of incompatible version of Windows. Very strange.
