Despite having made several attempts, I've been unable to complete a Windows 7 installation.
At my first attempt the compatibility check reported several issues all but one of which I was able to fix, but this last one refuses to go away. The report says I have an out-of-date driver for the AMD AHCI Compatible RAID Controller. I have run windows update several times and each time been told that the driver is up to date, so I am at a loss as to what to do next.
I am using a Dell Inspiron 1721 running Vista Home Premium, and a Windows 7 Upgrade CD.
I have a Vista SP2 laptop that I'm trying to upgrade to Windows 7. However when I pop in the disk and boot to the disk, the files load. But then the screen with the cursor where you should be able to select the keyboard language and the setup screen doesn't appear.All I get is a black screen with the cursor I can move.Also the install failed out the first time due to amd manager installed, so I uninstalled it and now every time I try to boot back to vista it says some amdsata.sys error message.
I have a standard Dell 1545 Inspiron laptop running vista with Intel duo core processor and 4gb ram. Is it a straightforward process to upgrade to windows seven? If I get the windows seven installation disc can I do a clean install or are there any Dell bits and pieces to stop me doing this? Will I need any other drivers etc after the install?
I am running a Dell 9300 with Win 7 and I have purchased 2x1GB Crucial RAM that is sold as an upgrade package for the Dell 9300 (completely compatible.) I insert the RAM, computer recognizes it and boots to Win 7 logo at startup. There is hangs and does not boot.
Right.. i have no idea if its here or some other category to post this But currently i have issues getting Java installed.. I've tryed about anything i could imagine..

I currently own a Dell Inspiron N5010 laptop and want to upgrade the wifi capabilities of this laptop but I am unsure if it is possible or not.It currently has the potential to download at 30 Mbs, so if I wanted to download at 50 or 100Mbs I would need to install another wifi card in the laptop. The thing is though I have never even looked inside a laptop never mind upgraded one. Tell a lie I did install more RAM inside my machine but that is about it.
I'm gonna order a Dell Inspiron 15 this Monday, Are these specs ok?
Ok it has 4gb of ram ddr2, it has an intel pentium dual core processor, Integrated Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator X4500HD Graphics Card. And also I'm choosing vista home premium 64bit will it run fine?
I went to the dell site and checked if I could load windows 7 on the Inspiron 1505 and could not find that I could. Can I load windows 7 on the Inspiron 1505?
I've had my laptop Dell INSPIRON N5030 for about a year.It was working fine up till now but when I boot it up it gives me a windows recovery error.It says: windows failed to start. a recent hardware or software might be the cause.When I choose the launch start repair, it just gives me the windows screen with the mouse and nothing happens.Then if i choose load windows normally, it will just go to the loading screen then it'll stay there for a while then go back to the windows recovery error.I've also tryed to reboot the hard drive by pressing F12, but it won't let me it just puts me back on to the windows recovery error screen.
I bought a new dell laptop of model inspiron n5010. It works with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit OS. I installed all the other drivers and softwares. I cannot find a way to work the Wifi. I tried to install the wifi driver R252283 from dell official site, but when i'm installing it i got an error message"The software you are attempting to install is not supported on this system. The software will not be installed."
I have a Dell Inspiron 1440 running windows 7. This computer was purchased new about a year and a half ago, and I have had no problems up until a couple days ago. I went to turn my laptop on the other morning and as usual the dell logo came up and loaded, then the windows symbol saying "starting windows"... then strangely a black screen with a cursor arrow... nothing more, no log in screen... just black nothingness... I have ran the diognostics and they all say "pass". I am able to access F2 & F12 but it will not boot in safe mode or with a command prompt.
I have a Dell Inspiron 700m. I can't find a video (graphic) driver for it. I went to Dell support website but can't find the right driver. I understand Dell doesn't support this model for Vista or Windows 7. I even google for the driver. Quite a few people have the same problem. Do you happen to know a driver to take its place? I went to Device Manager and it shows that I'm missing the Video Controller.

I'm running Dell Inspiron 1525 Windows 7 64-bit and having problems with my beatuful dell touchpad, which works just fine except horizontal and vertical scrolling. I have already read some materials on the web and have downloaded of couble of useless stuff but the problems hasn't gone. I like my Dell Inspiron 1525, but the 64-bit drivers really suck.
On another partiiton I'm running SuSE and it looks much better than Windows 7.
