windows 7 install help

[spike1880]

forgive me for my spelling but iam not sure if iam putting this n the right place but here gos.

i have recently downloaded and burned the windows 7 rc image and tryed to install it on a clean 80 sata drive when i shut down my computer hook only that drive up and have only 1 dvd drive running it boots to the dvd and starts the whole windows checking ur config stuff but when it gets to the part of where it shows the windows 7 logo right befor i can start selcting things and entering info like my key its BSOD's with the code 0x000004 witch from wat i can tell has something to do with my video card or my sound i use onboard sound and it hd so i dont know wat to do the image is windows 7 rc 32 not the 64bit here is my pc specs

Motherboard- MSI K9VGM-V

Processor- AMD Athlon 64 x2 Dule-Core

Memory- Buffalo tech 1 gig ddr2 pc5300 667 Mhz

Video card- Nvida Geforce 8500 gt 512mb PCI Express

HDD- 1 TB seagate sata 2 (i dont have the complet specs on it but its no more than 2 months old)

and the HDD i want to use for windows 7 - 80 gig Maxtor sata 2

so if ne one had come across this kind of problem let me know how to fix it if u have fixed it cause i would like to try out windows 7 also the 80 has been formated

Ya know, this may sound pretty irrelevant to your issue, but you should try reburning the DVD. I've run into semi-similar problems & simply re-burning the ISO had fixed it. This was after trouble shooting with every single part in the PC. Anyway, just an idea..

[spike1880]

ill try it i hope that it will work

[spike1880]

no its not working i have tryed burning it from 3 deffernt burners and tryed 3 deffernt dvd drives to install it and i have tryed deffernt hdd i dont know wats worng with it has neone been able to install it or has neone came across this problem

[tehboris]

Does the DVD work in other computers?

[spike1880]

no i cant do it for the fact that i only have 4 cdrs



i can put the dvd in and it will boot to the dvd but after it shows the windows 7 logo it BSOD iam going to try something i took vlite and split the iso n to 6 cd images and iam going to try burning it to 6 cdr's and see if that works but all the dvd do the same thing i also downloaded the image agin and that new image is wat i split to 6 images

[spike1880]

iam gonna make 1 more atmept to install it with my last dvd so far i have used 8 dvd to try to get this to work

[spike1880]

ok thats it iam convenced that microsoft can not make iso's cause for my last atemped i got bsod at the same spot this time a deffernt code 0x00000124 meaning that my audio is the problem well i cant do nething about my onboard audio jesus i think the hackers of the world can make a better OS than MS so it looks like i wont be trying or buying Microsoft Windows 7 and i have asked for help about this on 7 deffernt fourms and this is the only one that someone has tryed to help me on

You can disable your audio in your BIOS via F2, F12 or Delete when booting. And as far as you're attack on Microsoft's ability to make an OS I'd say you dont have much grounds for it.

It is very possible you're hardware isn't compatible or that you need to install drivers into the ISO to make it work. Try installing XP or Vista if you have a copy and I havent used Windows 7 in an upgrade mode, but maybe it will work for you.

Good luck.

[spike1880]

iam running vista 64 bit right now and acording to the windows 7 upgrade advisor my computer is more than capable of running windows 7 32 but they want me to install more memory for 64 bit and yes i know about disableing the onboard audio n the bios but wat am i going to do about sound r u gonna send me a sound card cause i dont have one and i never sead ne thing that microsoft cant make and os i sead that they can make a fracking image an ISO and also do u know where i can get windows 7 drivers that actualy work from wat i found there hardly is ne

[tehboris]

So does the DVD work in other computers?
r u gonna send me a sound card
Are you going top use a spell checker and pay us for our advise?

[spike1880]

like i sead be for on other computer it loads to the same spot where the windows 7 logo is after booting to the dvd and then it BSOD's

[landmine]

Please for the love of all that is good and decent, learn how to write a post. Sentences are a plus!

I was suggesting you disable the on-board audio for the installation and then try enabling it after IF it still allows you to install.

I will not send you a sound card or anything, good try.

"jesus i think the hackers of the world can make a better OS than MS" - That is pretty much saying Microsoft can NOT make a very good OS

I'd suspect the download is to blame since other computers BSOD. Download it again. It would be nice if Microsoft provided a method to manual check the integrity of the download, but they count on the java download client on doing that for you.

[landmine]

Download the ISO from a torrent, that is what I had to do.

[spike1880]

well wat i have done is i disabled the onboard audio then took out my video card and used on board video then tryed the install agin and this time it installed i dont the up dates and then restart the computer went n to the bios and turned on the audio and no bsod and the audio worked with out even installing it now the next thing i dont was put my nvida geforce 8500GT back n my computer then when the windows logo comes up it blues screens with an error code that microsoft tells me has to deal with hot swaping i dont do hot swaping how the heck do i shut that crap off cause as of right now with the on board video running the gfx suck

[tehboris]

when the windows logo comes up it blues screens with an error code that microsoft tells me has to deal with hot swaping i dont do hot swaping how the heck do i shut that crap off cause as of right now with the on board video running the gfx suck

Install Windows 95.

[spike1880]

do wat in order to shut off hot swapping to make windows 7 work with my video card i have to install windows 95????? i dont bealeave this 1 bit how can an old os dissable something for me to make and os from 2009 work

[tehboris]

I'm not sure what Microsoft are referring to regarding hot swapping and graphics cards. Graphics cards aren't hot swappable, well, not traditional graphics cards.

[spike1880]

will i dont know i dont know if its a feature on my mobo or wat i dont see nething about it n the manual on my mobo but the error code revolves around hot swapping and theres nothing worng with my video card if u want i can post a pic of the BSOD

[landmine]

You have your on-board video disabled when you have new card put in, right?

Maybe your video card was damaged when you removed it.

[spike1880]

yes it is disabeled n the bios with the video card n and now iam a computer tech i know how to take out cards besides the card works in vista 64 bit and xp y is it not working n windows 7 i dont know

[spike1880]

well iam back agin and this time iam posting this on windows 7 with my nvida geforce 8500 video card installed and working. wat i had to do wat get the leaked version 7127 of windows 7 and becuse i had no dvd i installed it a bit defferntly by takeing another HDD and creating a 10GB partion n fat32 and copying everything thats is on the windows 7 7127 image over to the fat 32 partion made the partion an active one the restarted my computer went n to the bios told it to boot from that HDD and then once i saved the changes i made n the bios i restarted the computer and the computer booted from that hdd and poof windows 7 started installing from a HDD not a dvd if u want latter ill make a seperet post on how to do it but i wont take ne credit for it

[computoman]

I dl'ed win2k8 server and win7rc. We shall see how it goes. I will almost get it gets replaced with another os within the week.

[filip007]

You get working with 7127 build thats nice anyway use W7 beta on VIA and FAT32 it's just asking for trouble.

[spike1880]

well the fat32 is only for the HDD thats going to be used as like a DVD when infact its jest a HDD that has all the install files on the HDD and the resion y i didnt mount the image is cause the HDD that i wanted windows 7 to install to had no OS so wat iam trying to say is all i dont was bypass the DVD Drive and used a 10 gig partaion as a DVD to install the os the os its self is installed on NTFS partion and yes my video card is working and everything on it but i dont think windows 7 is reading my net speed right i went to go test it and it came up with me getting 119Meg download and 3Meg upload

[computoman]

I just installed w7 for a client and xp leaves it in the dust for speed. I still have to do a bit of tweaking though. The user agreement has some real gotchas such as where MS says then can shut off your the internet at their pleasure as if they owned it.

How many time do you need to be told that? While its not exactly an NDA, it is a limited use, time restricted license. If you are not communicating that to your clients and they are running it as if it is production ready (because it is free right?) then you are being irresponsible.

Even RC code still has the debugging turned on, and the "dial home" features set, so that MS get feedback if there are issues.

Once again, this is NOT production ready code ... so don't judge performance until you have the final copy installed on a machine, and it is modern machine that is ready for it.

DUH. Win 95 kills XP on speed too. Win 3 kills 95 on speed. DOS kills any Windows OS in terms of speed... amazing, isn't it?

We ended using an alternative os to get her in business. Personally I would be feel realy bad if the new os I brought out to market was not as good as a previous one even if it was beta. If I were the head of a software company, i would expect more from my team. Personally I think it should be named pre-alpha and not beta.

speed != quality... Is a program that uses 500 MB of memory but loads in < 1 second better than a program that does the exact same task but takes 100 MB and loads in 5+ seconds?

The RC code is not the actual old code ... it contains all the debugging information required for PRE-RELEASE TESTING. That gets removed at release.

In the Linux world they have similar builds. Why is this hard to understand?

GM are trotting out Volt test cars for journalists to PREVIEW. These are not production ready either.

[computoman]

We have successfully installed several machines now with w7. The power boxes we did were not too bad after running regvac. Windows 7 does not seem to like the mb's, with via vga though there seem to be support for everything else via.

It disappoints me that my observations trouble you. A user does not care why or need to hear excuses. they just want to see results. It is a shame the American auto industry did not learn that lesson when they claimed they could not make more energy efficient cars. Japan wiped the floor with better cars because they just did it. By the time Microsoft get's it right, It will be too little too late just like the auto industry. Now the auto industry has to play catch up. The general public is not driving the Volt. but the genral public is driving ms windows 7. I might prefer to have a TesLa anyway.
