Windows 7 Starter
So my fiancee's laptop was getting blue screens and huge problems. It wasn't even booting up fully without restarting.
We supposed it was the hard drive.
We replaced the hard drive. The only thing is that we needed from the hard drive was:
Windows 7 Starter.
It was a dell inspiron mini 1018 so it doesn't have a cd drive, so the only solution is installing it through the usb drive.
I want to re-install windows 7 starter (with the key we have), use the windows dvd tool and get Windows 7 Starter installed fresh onto the laptop.
Now from what I understand, Windows 7 Starter is included in some of the other iso's. You just have to find a way to allow windows to let you choose which windows to install.
I downloaded the .eicfg removal utility. I removed it from the iso and then used windows dvd tool to move it to the usb drive.
But when I booted from windows and started the install it never gave any option of which windows to install.
(I downloaded the Windows 7 Ultimate Premium x86).
So. What did I do wrong? What should I change to get this laptop up and running with the new hard drive???
I would appreciate any steps and help you could give me!
