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'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'm using Windows 7 Ultimate and yesterday I did my first image backup using Acronis True Image 2011 (I'd previously been using an earlier version with no problems.)
When the backup completed I told the computer to shut down and it went to a screen that said the following:
"Operations in progress. Please wait. The machine will be turned off automatically after the operations are complete."
The screen had a blue background with the blue ring with the white bit going round and round to the left of the text and the Windows 7 Ultimate logo at the bottom.
I left the computer and came back over an hour later and the computer had gone into standby. When I pressed the start button the same screen was still displaying so I left it for a couple more hours and came back to it and the same thing happened. I turned the computer off at the back and switched it on again this morning. I got the "Starting Windows" screen and then it went straight back to the "Operations in progress..." message.

Today is the first time I have had to access my work pc remotely so went out and bought Windows 7 Home. I accessed my works VPN network via the browser (have an icon in my taskbar called "network Connect" which tell me how long I have been connected for), I was able to ping my work PC but when I tried connect via Remote Desktop I was getting an error: Remote Desktop can't connect to the remote computer for one of these reasons: 1)Remote Access to the server is not enabled 2) The remote computer is turned off 3) The remote computer is not available on the network Make sure the remote computer is turned on and connected to the network, and that remote access is enabled."
couple days ago, I boot my system up and I'm shocked to find my resolution @ 1024x768 when it's supposed to be 1440x900, as that's the max for my monitor.Well, I tried rebooting, tried uninstalling/reinstalling the drivers, downloaded the most recent drivers from Nvidia and uninstalled/reinstalled again...still same issue.I finally got fed up and decided to reload windows fresh. Formatted my partition and went through the setup process. After all was said and done, reinstalled Nvidia drivers for my card and the same damn issue was still there.So, am I correct in assuming that, for what ever reason, my video card has crapped the bed on m
I have windows 7 ultimate and for what ever reason when starting my laptop (HP DV62114tx) Im being requested to enter in the bitlocker key. Now here is the issue, the bitlocker key is on the desktop. (silly me)
Im wanting to know if there is any way to either retrieve the key or is there an over ride code for bitlocker so I can log in to my laptop.
I think moving forward, I will not use Bitlocker or look for an alternate solution, that is once I get the Laptop running again.
somehow my hard disk partition became dynamic. i formatted system and insttaled windows 7 ultimate in the dynamic disk partition. from then onwards system is not booting. only black screen with cursor on the upper left corner of the black screen.
if i am not wrong windows 7 cannot boot with dynamic disk. i will have to go to the disk management and after conversion of dynamic disk to basic disk with deleting all the volumes (data). it is possible to boot with windows 7.
but system is not booting...not opening..so i cannot go to disk management.
hrad disk is showing some partitions with system reserved. except system reserved all the partitions are shwoing dynamic. and in only one partition formatting option and installing OS option is coming while i booting system with OS DVD.
reinstalltion through OS DVD is possble by booting through OS DVD. but in advanced option repartition option is not coming. the one partition in which i installed OS previously, only in that formatting option is coming. in other partition neither formating option is coming nor extend.
I'm an IT student who got a free Win 7 x64 disk from my school, and I am unable to do a clean install. My system specs are as follows:
Intel Core 2 Duo 3.12 Ghz nVidia GeForce 9800 GTX 512 MB PCI-e 320 GB Western Digital HD SATA 1 Gb DDR2 1066 MHz and 2x2Gb DDR2 1066 MHz SDRAM
I set my boot sequence to boot from DVD-ROM drive first, and HD second. It goes to the "Windows is loading files" screen and gets hung up. I started the process and went to watch TV for an hour, and it is still on the "Windows is loading files" screen. I haven't gotten any error messages. I've unplugged all USB devices from my computer as I have seen on this forum that it has worked for some people.
edited to add: I originally had only 2 Gb of RAM, and it got hung up at the "Windows is loading files" screen. I thought it was getting hung up because I didn't have enough RAM, so I bought brand new 2 sticks of 2 Gb RAM. I took out one of the 1 Gb sticks and placed both of the 2 Gb of RAM...for a total of 5 Gigs. And, it is still doing the same thing.
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?

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 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.
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 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.
