I am trying to install windows 7. I am currently running windows XP on my laptop. It is the 32bit. I start downloading and it keeps asking for a driver but i cant find one. Does anybody know what i am doing wrong? I want to try and have it working before class on Wed.
i was given window 7 as a present. It was bought from the store. It says to install the device driver needed to access your hardrive, insert the installation media containing the driver files then click ok. I dont know what a raid is sorry.
I tried to input as much info as I could. I dont know that much about computers.
Here is a link to the website and the actual laptop that they bought the computer from:
eCOST.com-Fujitsu LifeBook T4020 2.0GHz Intel Pentium M Tablet PC - T4020-PM2.0-1024-60GB - Fujitsu T4020-PM2.0-1024-60GB (Tablets) - eCOST.com - electronics, computers, laptops, mp3 players
Hope this helps..
I know it's possible to install Windows 7 on your tablet PC, as I've found a thread on this forum about it, and another on a different website. If you can explain how far you get during the installation, and post the exact error message, that would help.
ok. i put the disc in and start the process. I click install now. I click the updates and agree to the terms. I then select cutom (advanced). It always comes up saying choose driver to load mass storage to. I cant find any. I let it browse and it says none were found. I tried the upgrade part but it sayd you cant upgrade from XP to 7. I thought I had the wrong copy since it said upgrade for vista on the cover of the box. The guy at the store said it will work for either.
You can't do an in-place upgrade from XP to 7 - you can use the upgrade disc, but you have to do a clean install. If you haven't already done so, take a look at the sticky posts in this installation board (the posts that are always at the top). There are several good threads about installing Windows 7.

It appears Windows 7 is looking for drivers for the hard drive. You need to provide a SATA/RAID driver in order for Windows to find your hard drive. Download the following file, then extract all of the files to a usb flash drive.
Confirm Download
When you install Windows 7 and it asks for a driver, put in the usb flash drive and browse to the usb drive. Hopefully it will find the driver it needs and allow you to install 7.
