Windows 7 Upgrade Disk Will Not Run - No Error Message.
Dec 22, 2011
I have 2 computers on a home network (both were running Win XP Pro). Obtained Win 7 Upgrade disk fom Microsoft and installed Win 7 on Machine 1. OK! Now trying to install Win 7 on Machine 2.
Placed disk into DVD-CD drive and drive seems to run. Start/my computer/cd drive shows disk is in drive. Right click/explore. Disk contents appear.
Disk runs but machine hangs up. Nothing happens. Placed disk in cd drive of machine 1 and it performs as it should.
I have updated the driver for disk drive. Other disks which I have tried in the cd drive seem to operate correctly.
Motherboard is a MSI MS-7309 1.0
Processor - AMD 2.60 HZ Athlon 64
Memory 4GB
CD Rom- Compaq DVD-Rom SD-M1612
I really want to install Windows 7 on this machine so both machines appear the same.

I tried to re-install my windows 7 today, and at first it seemed to be going well, but then it reset me back to the windows DVD install screen and when I try to install windows it gives me this message: Windows cannot be installed to this disk. "This computers hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure that the disks controller is enabled in the computers BIOs menu." I think I need to change some BIOs settings on my motherboard or something but I am really just not sure, it's my first time build and this really is beyond me. If anyone has any experience on what to do or any advice I would be really grateful for it. The HD I am using is a Westinghouse 1T and the motherboard is a ASUS SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0 AM3+.

I'm trying to copy an audiobook cd to a blank cd. It ripped to windows media player, but when I tried to burn it to a cd-rw disk I got the message "Windows Media Player could not complete burning because the disc is not compatible with your drive. Try inserting a different kind of recordable media or use a disc that supports a write speed that is compatible with your drive." Is there a different type of disk I should be using?

I ordered the 50$ Windows 7 upgrade disk. I realize that Windows 7 will need vista or XP already installed for the upgrade version of Windows 7. But if I want to upgrade my Vista 32-bit to Windows 7 64-bit, Will I be able to do it with this upgrade disk? after all I will need a fresh install (because 32 to 64) and this is the upgrade version...

I have already reported to Sony to but i heard their take their time but thats the one thing what i dont have at the moment so i know many people here know about that stuff to. So anyway. Some time ago SP1 launched for Windows 7. I installed but it but something went it wrong and it didn't install correcly and then i was forced to use System restore. Everything worked and i haven't used SP1 because i don't want to risk screwing up my computer before some important things, i got plenty of time later for that . The problem is after the system restore every time Vegas launches i get a error : Sony Vegas pro 10 an error occurred starting Vegas Pro Error 0x80070002 (message missing).

Trying to get an old external HD working. Msg. that come up is that the Disk is not initialized. Gives me the option of doing so. What does not initialized mean, exactly, please If I do, as the option suggests, will this wipe out everything on the HD, such as a re-format would do?

I just bought an Samsung G2 External HDD month ago. It worked well since the date I bought it. But yesterday, when I'm trying to plug in my external, windows give me some error message :
"You need to format the disk in drive G: before you can use it"
I dont want to format my external, because I had many important files in my external. If I had to format, how can I recover my files in the external ?

I can't find anything on this and all 501/505 message posts are related to Windows XP not 7. But, I have a 501/505 error message in my Windows 7. Funny thing, it is a problem with all my browsers (IE and Firefox) and I cannot access any website with the www. prefix. Urls without this prefix works fine. The only thing I can think of is that I downloaded and installed a Java update yesterday. Did this cause the 501/505 error problem? I also tried following the steps recommended by Microsoft for XP [URL]

I keep getting a window with this error; when I close the window it simply reappears: "Application Error" Exception EListError in module en.cpl at 00013BF2, List index out of bounds (0)." It didn't appear after I tried opening any specific program, it just appeared randomly. Is this a virus? How do I stop this?

I know you can upgrade 32 bit to 64 bit using a custom install. My question though, is I installed Windows 7 32 bit using a retail upgrade disk. I've now decided I want to try 64 bit. Since the upgrade box contained 2 discs (32 & 64 bit), am I free to install the 64 bit on the same computer or would I have to buy a whole new upgrade disc set? It seems like it would let me install the 64 bit which would have it's own key, but I want to make sure.

I have been having problems logging on to my computer and the Internet, accessing files etc. for some time now, recently whenever I turn on the computer I get the message cannot find disk? I am not sure what category I should post tohats going on? And if possible how to fix it.

Basically, my Windows was messed up so I re-installed Windows Vista 32 bit onto my computer. My copy of Windows 7 is a .iso from Microsoft and its 64 bit. Whenever I try to run i get an error message about it being the wrong type of Windows. I'm guessing that this is because I have 4gb of ram but windows vista 32 bit has reduced it to 3gb and I read online that you need at least 4gb to run Windows 7. How do I go about re-installing Windows 7?

I am trying to install Windows 8 x86 on my 2-year old Acer Aspire One netbook. After the screen that says "Setup is Starting," a message comes up telling me that a "Required CD/DVD Device Driver" is missing and that I must find the driver file before continuing setup. Being a netbook, my machine doesn't have a disk drive.

After a failed hard disk, I'm trying to reinstall W7 from my upgrade disk and I keep getting a "the product key is not valid" error. I read a MSFT support article saying you have to install Vista first, then upgrade to W7.However, how do I now boot from the Vista disk? I've put in the Vista disk, restarted my computer, but every time it just boots to the W7 install screen asking for the product key.

OK So to begin Im upgrading from windows XP Professional.. Before I decided to up grade I ran into this error on my PC: C:windowssystem32configsystem missing or corrupt
I tried the recovery disk and pressing r and typing in the commands in microsofts website and it said: access denied (or something along those lines) Ok so I gave up on that and when I start the computer I can go into BIOS and everything but as soon as it hits the screen where "windows didnt start last time, safe mode, blah, last known good configuration. If select any of them it freezes and if I allow the countdown it usually goes to a white / black screen and says that error up there ^^.
We couldnt get it fixed so I decided that I would upgrade to windows 7 and I purchased it online and downloaded it and it WILL not work with the computer. I go into BIOS and set CD/DVD first and press a key to boot from disk and it just restarts as soon as it loads and keeps redoing it. Occasionally Ill get a " the file is possibly corrupt, the file header checksum does not match the computed checksum.

I just got a new computer and I'm selling my old one to a friend and I'd like clean everything out so it's nice and new for him. On that computer I upgraded from XP to 7 so I only have the upgrade disk. I was wondering if I can just do a reinstall from that or is there something else I would have to do?

"No device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click ok"
I Ve been trying to install Windows 7 RC on my Sony Vaio VGN 123 E and i managed to get my DVD fully working (booting windows 7 installation and all), but the las issue im having installing Windows 7 is that eveyrtime i get into the Install now screen, and i click on install now, it goes and show me a screen with this message:
No device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click ok.
That message gives me 3 buttons: ok, cancel and browse, neither of OK and CANCEL would let me through the install, and with browse i have tried to find those missing drivers but without succeed.
I have read almost every near installation post on this forum and googled that error with no further
FYI:Vista Home Premium already Installed on Laptop. DVD/RW rom is working perfect and window7 does boot perfectly then why the hell it needs drivers again? I do not have drivers for Cd/dvd rom.
