Hello carputer93, welcome to Seven Forums!


You may need to acquire a USB stick to do the install with, the camera storage SD card may not function correctly; here's a tutorial showing how to format / create the installation media to use the USB stick and be sure to post back with any further questions you may have and to keep us informed.

ok i got a flash drive . based on my pcs specs should i get use the 32 bit software or the 64 bit

 

[Bare Foot Kid]

I would suggest the 32-bit but if you want try the 64-bit first and if that won't run do the 32-bit.

 

[carputer93]

i as told 64 bit needed 2gb memory to install but you can do it with one but you might have a lil performance issues other than that should i just go with the 32 bit

 

[Bare Foot Kid]

Try the 64-bit and if it doesn't work well enough install the 32-bit, you have nothing to lose.

 

[theog]

I would stay with 32 bit.

 

[carputer93]

Ok I think I might try 64bit doesnt hurt to try

 

[carputer93]

ok i tried a usb nothing so if someone can gtalk me thru it or yahoo chat that would b great

Can you get your hands on an external dvd drive ?

 

[carputer93]

i would have to buy one. hat i have seeing online is that i need a iso pic or something . but none of the command prompts are being accepted by the computer. also i have a usb drive with windows on it. im trying to install it from DOS no OS installed

 

[carputer93]

so heres the update i got the windows install on a 8gb flash because the 4 gb swan big enough for the 64 bit . so when i select the drive E: on the pc it doesn't read it as a directory , so i turned off the PC and pressed f11 and now its asking me to select from a bout device . my choices is sat pm samsung hm251hi or usb sandisk

You have to write the confirmed ISO to a flash stick using the complicated DOS commands, or an easier program like UltraISO trial version or Universal USB Installer.

Then boot the stick under USB, Removable, or HD's.

I'd use the one-time BIOS Boot Menu key given on first boot screen.

 

[carputer93]

Do I put that on the same USB as windows is on or a different one. Also im trying to upload it with a pc that has windows its just this one im installing

 

[gregrocker]

You'll format the flash stick before writing ISO to stick so anything already stored on it is gone.

Probably best for you to use UltraISO trial version: Install Ultra ISO, on File tab select Open ISO or Open DVD if that's all you have, on Bootable tab select Write Disk Image, click Format Button, Click Write button.

Now boot the stick by setting first to boot in BIOS setup, or using one-time BIOS boot menu key given on first BIOS screen. Stick should be listed under USB, Removable or HD's.

Follow these steps to install: Clean Install Windows 7
