May 10, 2011
I want to install win 7 professional x64,i have a Dvd iso...Problem i want to solve is next,i have 1 sata disk ,and 1 ide disk...I want to divide Sata on two partition,c and d,and to install system on c..Next,my Ide disk ,has jumper on cable select,i think it could be the only way that is to pc work properly.Problem is ,when i install win 7 on partition c,next happens ,on My Computer,disk drives are not shown as Sataartitions c: and d: but its mixed somewhat,if i recall,itc c: of sata,and d is given t ide disk... i really want to know is there a solution to have primary sata c: and d: ,and than ide diskProcessorModel : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4600+Speed : 2.57GHzCores per Processor : 2 Unit(s)Threads per Core : 1 Unit(s)Type : Dual-CoreIntegrated Data Cache : 2x 64kB, Synchronous, Write-Back, 2-way, Exclusive, 64 byte line sizeL2 Cache : 2x 512kB, ECC, Synchronous, Write-Back, 16-way, Exclusive, 64 byte line size[CODE]
I was wondering If I have one sata 1 and an new sata 2(or 3) on my PC installed on my PC will cause problems in transfer speeds? My Blue-ray is sata 1 also.Does this mean that all disks will work as sata 1?
when googled it says something about the sata drive settings needing to be changed in the bios chang the setting for the sata operation from Raid auto/achi to raid auto ata but in the bios of the hp g61 there is no option for that, i verified this will work for the error because i just restored a dell vostro with a sata drive and it did work, now i just need to get this hp to work it has insydeH20 bios setup utility,
I have Win 7 x86 Enterprise through the company I work with. I was in charge of beta testing it on partition in the SATA raid array on our SunFire v20z server. It installs like it would on any other computer, does not hang up, and reboots to finish install. when it boots however, it shows win7 boot screen, then goes blank, then restarts computer. when i boot into safe mode it hangs on disk.sys and then BSODs. can someone please tell me what is going on?? I have invested over 2 weeks of work into setting it up.
that the system doesn't recognize the Sata HDD on which Windows 7 is installed. I first thought the the HDD was done, because the system recovery couldn't be started and every action was followed with "disk read error". The next step I took was booting with Ubuntu live and there was the surprise, Ubuntu recognized the HDD and all the folders were there, so it seems the problem is not with the HDD but with the OS. What next step should I take
I'm trying to install from a sata dvd drive onto an ide hard disc. I have the raid drivers for my board, x64 vista drivers to be exact.
During the install sequence I obviously get to the bit that asks me to insert a driver disc for the dvd drive. Currently the drivers are on a floppy, so insert the floppy disc and browse to the drivers. windows 7 then starts to load the drivers them fails with a message stating it can't find find drivers for this drive.
Has anyone else tried installing from a sata drive, and if so how did you get on?
I wanted to create a new partition to try out linux. So I decided to shrink E: by 20 GB. I then formatted the free space into a new drive by right clicking and creating new simple volume. I was warned that the drive would be made "simple", but not knowing the implications, I went ahead with the procedure. Now on rebooting, windows won't load. I had made a repair disc, so was able to use it to check for any start up errors. It reported none. Moreover I used "diskpart" through cmd to find volume c: is dynamic.
I updated the SATA AHCI controller from device manager and rebooted. Shortly after I noticed disk drives F:, Z:, and X: are gone. No big deal I'll just repartition right? No they aren't showing up in Disk Management? The driver I installed I got from gigabyte it was a preinstall driver for ahci. I just installed windows 7 64 yesterday to a Samsung 830 256gb and it was working fine maybe I shouldn't have messed with it. C: drive is working fine just the other 3. Should I roll the driver back? System restore? Did I install the wrong driver?
So recently my desktop PC has been freezing at random times, and then sometimes restarting after not responding for a couple of minutes (no BSOD, just restarts as far as I've seen). It sometime freezes as soon as I turn the computer on, while Windows is loading, and sometimes it will start freezing after an hour it's been on. Most of the time it will just freeze for around a minute, and then unfreeze, but sometimes it does freeze and then restart. By freeze I mean everything, mouse included, and ctrl+alt+delete doesn't work.Also at bootup sometimes, it will fail to detect my SATA hard-drive and hang at Detecting SATA drives at the bios screen. This will be following by a disk read error.This problem started occuring a couple of weeks a go, so I reinstalled Windows 7 and it worked fine after that.

I formatted and installed windows 7 64 bit in a pc which previously had windows 7 32 bit. When i booted my 1tb dynamic disk was not detected. So I went into disk management and it had listed my disk as "Foreign Disk". So i imported the foreign disk.
The drive was detected and opened. So i rebooted the pc but now the drive is still not appearing in my computer. When i go to disk management the 1tb appears but there is no drive letter assigned. When i try to assign drive letter it statest that "Specified File cannot be found"
My first post and quick question please to the experienced community here. I have Windows 7 64 bit Home Preminum installed and did a �standard� clean installation on the computer I just built. This was a novice mistake of course. First time Windows 7 user and I was uninitiated about the �System Reserved Partition� that joyfully comes with each installation unless steps are performed during/prior the installation to consolidate the installation into one partition...which is my preference. I found the following excellent tutorial on how to perform a clean installation of Windows 7 that also addresses how to install with a single partition: [URL] Just below is an explanation of how to install Win 7 with one partition: If you do not want to have the 100 MB System Reserved partition and only the Windows 7 C: partition on a HDD after installation, then select a formatted partition or drive to install Windows 7 on. If there are any partitions on the disk, you won't get the 100 MB System Reserved.
So my simple questions are after performing the following: Install fresh unformatted hard drive. Perform full format of hard drive with a single partition. Do I? a. Make sure Disk Management has assigned a letter to this single partition? b. Do I mark this partition as active ? should I also perform steps a & b prior to installing Windows 7?
I have one more Win 7 license to install from my retail "Family Pack."
I have created an 80GB partition on drive 0, which contains the drive C partition and Windows XP. Will this upgrade license allow me to install Windows 7 in the new partition and keep XP in the other?
In short, a duel boot choice on booting the system?
I want to install Windows7 on my laptop. I would like to have several partitions, but when I started installation process I can see only one partition available and option "new" is not active. How can I create new partition. I have I have a hard drive 500Gb, but while installing OS it only shows about 465 Gb. Also the question about drivers. when can I install them? after installing OS or before that as I see an option "drivers" just at the beginning of installation.
So i wanted to do a fresh W7 install on a new partition today. My setup uses two 500gb drives in raid0 with Windows 7 64bit installed. Using the windows 7 disk management tool i resized the main partition to give space to the new partition. I didn't reformat thinking i could do it before installation.So I used the microsoft tool to create a bootable usb drive. restarted, went into boot menu and set it to boot from usb first and booted into windows 7 installation from the usb drive.The computer was set up in raid0 when i got it and i did a fresh install of W7 and that time i remember it picked up the raid drivers and used those. this time however it didn't pickup any drives. I went to install and did custom install but there was no drives to choose from and after a scan it didn't find any either. i went back and booted into my main OS and used the disk management tool to format the unallocated partition. formatted as NTFS and set it to drive D. booted up from the USB drive again and there was still no drives in the list that i could install too.
Drive is not accessible in windows 7. I installed W7 on Drive C and Drive D is visible but not accessible. Both C and D are partitions on the same HD. I had Windows XP on drive C before and formatted it and installed W7 on it. I have a lot of material saved on Drive D and cannot afford to lose them. What can I do to let windows 7 access drive D?
I have a 1TB hard disk and I want to install win 7 on it only. I do not want to store any other data on it or use it for other purpose.
Is it better to partition into 2 parts and install win 7 in a small partition and leave the other partition empty, or is it better to install win 7 without partition the disk?
I know there are tons of threads on this but as of yet none of them have helped.Trying to do a clean install on a Sony VAIO laptop PCG-71312l (or something close to that)Where do you want to install windows?I have Disk 0 Partition 1 with a total size of 298.1 and free space of 298.0 GB Type is primaryError message below says "Windows cannot be installed to Disk 0 Partition 1. (show details)"The details are:"Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure the disk's controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS"Well that's the fun part of the SONY VAIO - you can't do squat in the BIOS except change the date/time and boot order but I read that the VAIO will detect and setup everything automatically.So I Can't do any ACHI/IDE changes.
So if I just click on next I just get an error message of"Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition. See the Setup log files for more information."I have deleted, formatted, created new partitions and restarted the computer 10 times. Nothing is getting me anywhereOh and I had to create a bootable USB from the windows ISO to USB/DVD program.I have gotten this to work just fine before with the same hard drive which was working just fine an hour ago.

Ok I have an Eee Pc 1005hab netbook given to me. When booted it had the error message Grub error: no such partition. I searched the internet and managed to get into bios and somehow delete the partitions. Now my problem is I can't install windows onto any partitions I create. I've searched and searched for answers. there is not disc drive, only usb ports. I managed to create a windows 7 bootable USB which will not install.
I have just built my new computer, and am attempting to install Windows 7 64bit thereupon. I am using a p67 asrock motherboard and 320Gig seagate hdd. Everything is going gravy when it tells me that it can't partition my hdd even though there is no other previously existing partition...

So the other day I decided that I wanted to try dual-booting Ubuntu 10.04 on my HP Pavilion dv7-4083cl Entertainment Notebook that already had Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit installed. I shrank the main (biggest) partition by 100Gigs and then installed Ubuntu 10.04 on that 100Gigs of unallocated space. All worked fine, except when I tried to boot Windows 7 from the grub menu, it would come up to the beginning Windows 7 animation and then it would crash. So, I downloaded a Windows 7 Recovery CD and tried a few of the tools there. I did not create a system recover image prior to my troubles, so I could not recover the easy way.
After that, I tried the Startup Repair tool, which did not work. I read somewhere to try that Startup Repair tool 2 or 3 times, which I did. The third time, it seemed to freeze; it was "working" for about 6 hours, at which point I decided that it was enough and shut down the PC. That was a mistake... From that point forward, I still could not boot into Windows, but also every time I tried to boot into Ubuntu, I had to perform a disk check, which always failed! After trying that a few times, I had had enough yet again and decided to just reinstall Ubuntu. The install seemed to work fine, but once I rebooted I could not boot into Ubuntu (or Windows 7). No matter what option I select from the grub menu (or if I push F11 to go into recovery partition), it gives me an error that says "Error: No such partition" and dumps me into a grub rescue prompt...
After releasing multiple bouts of turrets, I tried booting from my Ubuntu LiveUSB again (same one I installed Ubuntu with twice) and ran Gparted to look at my partitions. It only showed me the one 100Gig partition and said the remaining ~350Gigs were unallocated! So now I'm stuck with no bootable operating system (on my HD), and to top it off, HP just sent me their "official" recovery disks that are trying to reformat my HD and erase all my data...
I know there has to be a way to restore my partitions and replace the grub bootloader with the Windows 7 bootloader. At this point I don't care about Ubuntu at all. All of my data was on the Windows 7 partition (which I cannot access from Ubuntu to grab it).
I can provide any information that you need, but remember that I can only do so via either BIOS or by booting Ubuntu from the LiveUSB. I cannot access Windows 7. I also do not have a Windows 7 install disk as this was a refurbished HP laptop that I bought from Costco...
I have an Asus 1215n netbook. It came with Windows 7 Home Premium installed. The drive came with the following partitions:
100 GB Windows 7 15 GB Asus Expressgate (a quick-boot minimal OS) 118 GB Empty partition 15 MB (unknown)
I had been using TrueCrypt to encrypt the 100 GB system partition, which required that I enter a password before booting into windows.Other than that I never touched it until now. Today I decided to upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate, so after making sure everything I wanted to keep was on the 118 GB partition, I booted into the Windows 7 setup, formatted *only the 100 GB partition* from within the setup, and selected it as the volume to which to install.Upon restarting, the third partition wasn't shown in My Computer. I went to Administrative Tools -> Computer Management -> Storage -> Disk Management, which shows the following partitions:
I've done these exact steps in the past with similar configurations, and have never had this happen to me before. I can only surmise that this is due to having had a TrueCrypt boot manager, but beyond that I am uncertain. how I might be able to recover this partition?
