I got my hands on a product key for Windows 7 64bit enterprise for my spanking new PC build. How can I go about using it? Do I just burn any Windows 7 64 bit ISO to a blank dvd and install it on my new hardrive? Does it have to be a specific copy?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm currently in the process of buying a new laptop and one of the ways that I can save money on it is by getting it without an OS installed onto it.. I'm able to get windows 7 off of MSDN for free because my university has some sort of partnership with them or something, but obviously this is just a download and not a disc.
Therefore I was wondering if it is possible (and how is it possible) to install an OS onto an internal blank HDD without having a disc (i haven't downloaded it yet but i'm guessing you download it as a zip or maybe .iso and they send you a key as this is how it worked for other software I've got off of them)
the movie plays on the computer with sound but when burnt to dvd no voice
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to install Windows 7 on my PC again, and came to a blank screen after the reboot. I have the PC hooked up to a TV using the S-Video output on my graphics card, and suspect that win 7 is using the DVI port instead. There is no way at the moment that I can use the DVI port because I don't have a monitor that supports it.
is there a way around this so I can use the S-video output for the rest of the installation?
I have bought a old(ish) laptop designed for Vista but has no OS on it. I canafford a Windows 7 Professional upgrade disk.My question is can I install Windows 7 off a clean partition without ANY previous version of Windows and activate safely without conflict or invalidating the serial key.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to install Windows 7 on a new SSD, my old hard drive crashed. My video card is an onboard ATI Radeon HD 4250. Initial setup works fine, but when the computer reboots it comes back up blank. I'm already running two monitors, one VGA and one DVI, and safe mode doesn't work either, I've tried booting from a flash drive and a dvd with exactly the same results.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've heard many people saying you can install Windows 7 upgrade version straight onto an blank computer (just to be clear on what i'm saying, i mean a brand new computer that has never had an OS installed on it in its lifetime).

So there is no Windows on it and I am not able to access windows 7 on it. so I put in my CD went along with the install until it asked me where I want to install it to. Of course I chose my SSD.

Reason:
I have a trojan virus they cannot be deleted, it can only be quaranteen. Unfortunately while quaranteened, it still creates temp files...more than a 100. After trying numerous outlets: Symantec, my product is Syamantec Endpoint Protection., Mcafee on-line, Trend Micro House Call and Web Root Secure anywhere, I am afraid I will have to reformat the drive andi install from scratch.
I'm trying to install Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit onto my blank harddrive via usb that was setup with the microsoft application for doing so.

I've been directed over here by the malware board. My computer has a rootkit virus and it has been recommended to me that I reformat my hardrive. I am terrified of doing it wrong and would feel comfortable if one of your clever folk could help me through it. I have windows 7 home premium on a sony viao with a 64bit operating system. I can't seem to find any recovery disks,on the system restore options its seems i can only restore it to an earlier point in time.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an odd problem with my Windows 7 installation. The computer I'm trying to install it on is running Windows XP, and any time I try to boot from the disk (I have it set to be first in the boot sequence), it seems to just skip over the disk altogether and run boot from the hard drive (into Windows XP). I looked into this further, and it turns out that the computer sees the disk as being blank (0 bytes out of 0 total bytes).
When I put it into other computers, it is read fine, and I have even used this disk to install multiple copies of Windows 7 on other computers. The computer that isn't working can read any other disk fine, and has never had DVD-drive related problems. I've even tried copying the files from the Windows 7 disk onto another DVD, as well as a portable USB drive, but those didn't seem to work either (it gave me some error about the disk not being bootable).
I just installed a fresh copy of windows 7, the setup process even took me far enough to create the account, time, homegroup settings ect. It seemed successful. Then it restarts one final time and results in a blank screen after the bios screen flashes. I've tried every setting in the BIOS with no avail. Pressing CTRL ALT DEL at the blank screen just restarts the computer, flashes the bios as usual, and then when you should see the windows loading sign it loads a blank screen with no mouse cursor at all.
I've already tried formatting twice and it results in the same exact issue. The computer was working fine before hand, didn't add any hardware or anything.
I have a segate 250GB hard disk, previously i had a HP laptop windows vista OS so it was easy for me to see hidden files on my harddisk but now in this windows 7 there is no option of viewiing hidden files

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have built a new PC, I had it working at the start. for couple of days. i started then to update and install drivers off the chipset support disc. I have a ASUS P5G4IT-M, the installion of these drivers seemed to go alrite. Then when I downloaded the updates through windows and tried to restart the PC it wouldn't restart. i tried repairing the error. The first time it said windows had repaired the errors but it still didn't work. so i tried it again, it keeping saying that I recently attached a device to the computer, such as a camera or portable music device. which i didn't. then i says remove and restart. When i restart after the windows repair it goes down the list of files loading in safe mode and it stops when loading some of the drivers. Is there some way of clearing this error or wiping the memory off my hardrive and loading windows again onto the PC??
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen I try to do a clean install of Windows 7 I get the loading files white progress bar you normally get during an installation, it then goes directly to the scrolling progress bar that would normally appear before a Windows startup, and then goes to a blank Windows 7 desktop with only a cursor (that I can move).I have a computer with the following specs:[CODE]I have tried to install with every version I can get my hands on, both 32 and 64 bit. None of them are upgrade versions. I've tried installing on a fresh WD Raptor and an Intel G25 SSD. All other drives have been disconnected. I've moved my memory around and tried with one stick. My mainboard has the latest official BIOS, although there is a new beta.
I ran the Windows 7 compatibility test and didn't see anything that would cause this problem.I have searched the internet and have not been able to find a solution sonstalling Windows XP has never been a problem, just Windows 7, always with the same problem.This is one of the few times when I have not been able to look around a find an existing answer to a problem and I am stumped.
I'm having problem when i make install windows 7.when the setup is over and the pc restart for the first time windows7, then my screen turn to black and only the logo is appearing down in the corner of the screen..and i was thinking , maybe it want a lot of time to start so i let it for many many hours but it continues to look like that with the black screen and the logo..
So i try to install in another pc and everything gone just perfect!!
WHAT IS THE PROBLEM FOR MY PC? WHAT CA I DO? don't know:
I tried a lot of times to install it, for almost a month every day! what is wrong with my pc? is it real? only mine?
My old HDD was fried so I decided to use my External HDD to boot off. Afterreformatting the drive I have installed it into my laptop and have attempted to install Windows 7 64bit and its all going great until after the starting windows screen and then it just turns black with the cursor. What I have tried so far....- I have reset the BIOS to defalt-Cleared the CMOS- Checked the RAM (even left 1 2gig stick in and tried that?)

I'm running Vista Ultiamte SP1 32-Bit on my main hardrive, but now today I've formatted my other hardrive, so would i have to run the installaton on Windows?

View 3 Replies View Relatedafter searching on microsoft's website, google and finally Tomshardware... I couldnt find anything close to what im experiencing.My computer was working fine, no issues or problems. I decided to do a fresh install because it had been about 1.5 years. Thats where all the trouble started....I have a legal Copy of windows and a Legal CD I bought from a store so piracy isnt an issue.1) I tried to install windows 7 home prem 64 bit and i kept getting a Missing Boot Mgr message. I figured out that when windows was installing it wasnt creating the 100mb partition for system files and what not.2) After fix that, my computer would not boot to desktop unless i had the Windows 7 CD in... I unplugged all other HDD's (2 Storage), Reformated and it worked.
3) Now once windows finished installing, I opened a few basic programs without installing any drivers or updates. Everything worked, left it up and idled for an hour no problems, ran tests on Mem and HDD no problems either. 4) I did my windows updates and it installed after which it prompted me to restart... I did and thats when the problem happens. I takes a very long time to boot into my desktop and once there, I have a 1920x1080 resolution (from 800x600) and i have no Icons, taskbar or anything but my wallpaper... if i press Alt + Ctrl + Del i get a black screen and if i press ESC i get my wallpaper background back...5) I deleted the partition & reformated, and same issue after updates. The comptuer works perfectly fine in safemode and boots to my desktop... It is very weird. I ran Windows repair and I even open CMD Prompt and typed in the commands to fix the boot, fix the MBR and scan the OS, Everything was fix or operational.
