That means software the machine manufacturer puts on as well as the operating system when they make the machine and I guess by putting on the trial versions usually of security programs so they offset their costs to some extent. The other stuff is usually utilities they kid you into believing will keep your machine in tip top shape etc
In other words the system becomes "bloated" with software one never ever usually gets to using and it all goes to filling up the drive and slowing down the boot up for example some call it crap ware etc etc
Most of the major manufacturers like Toshiba and HP are particularly good at loading the machine with this rubbish stuff. Now if you do a clean install using that method in the tutorial all that is installed onto your machine is the operating system.

I see you have and yes you do all you need is that activation code form the sticker on the machine for when it gets to entering it

 

[thinkfirst]

done fomatting, but still no sounds, also cant connect to the intenet (broadband), only the wifi can connect,

PS: the DVD ROM appeared in BIOS "Boot Order", but it doesn't appear in "My Computer", i tried inserting some disk, but nothings happened,

 

[ICIT2LOL]

Am a little unsure now what you have done by formatting do you mean installing or wiping the drive??

The original version of Windows was Ultimate wasn't it? if it were Home premium then the activation unless I am badly mistaken will not work. What exactly does it say on the Windows sticker? See my pic for what that looks like.

 

[thinkfirst]

good day sir, im here again, ive done installing new windows, clean install, wiped all the files from C:\
i think sir the original version of windows is "Vista",

 

[ICIT2LOL]

Ah I see now so the machine was a Vista OS originally and you want to put 7 Ultimate on it?

If so what sort of installation media do you have the full retail or an OEM edition or is an upgrade from Vista to 7 product you have bought?

Now theoretically you should be able to just set the BIOS to boot from the optical drive insert the Ultimate disk and then Save changes and exit the BIOS. The machine will then go looking for a bot device and start installing the Ultimate over the Vista.

Personally I would have preferred to either buy a new hard drive for the machine and keep the old Vista one as an external so that there was no chance of the systems being "mixed'. If I couldn't afford to buy another drive then I would have wiped the old drive with the clean all in DISKPART or with the disk wipe in Partition Wizard but you would need another machine to do that and a gadget to hook the old drive to it via a USB connection as DISKPART is run from the drive that the OS is on and it is not possible to clean itself if you get what I mean.

done installing windows 7 ultimate using USB flash drive bootable, i followed the tut from the link you gave on how to make USB flash drive bootable, the installation done smoothly and accordingly, but after fnished installing new OS(clean install), still no sounds and cant connect via LAN cable broadband, i think the device for sound was damaged and doesn't work properly, but never mind the sounds, all i want right now is to get back my DVD ROM, it doesn't in "My Computer" and at "device manager",

im sorry sir for the inconvenience and thank you for your time to answer all my questions,

 

[ICIT2LOL]

It's no inconvenience Think but as there are only drivers for Vista on that HP site there are just two things you can do one is to contact HP them selves in your locality or just down load the 64bit Vista drivers.

If the drivers still make no difference then something else might have to be tried. http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsuppor...Id=135&prodSeriesId=3632106&prodTypeId=321957

hope that one works in w7u.64bit, i will try it tomorrow when im back home, thank you sir, highly appreciated,

oh everytime i open my laptop, theres a lot of windows update, is it ijmportant?, or mandatory to do the updates?, i've attached the some"windows update history", the last one "Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.1 on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 for x64-based Systems (KB2836942)", make my laptop freeze at "Windows Starting", whats the use of that ".NET blah blah" thing do?,

 

[ICIT2LOL]

Yes they are mate as some might be to do with your drivers and software anyway. But make sure you look at them first and do them in small batches so that if you need to system restore there will not be a flood again

Let us know how you go.

 

[thinkfirst]

this the new updates, is this okay to download this batch of updates?, im afraid, what if they cause my system to freeze/hang again

 

[ICIT2LOL]

The ones you have circled are ok I am just curious as to why you have all those refs to SP1?? because if the Windows is a new version it would have SP1 with it. So is it a retail or an OEM you bought and not wanting to sound rude but why Ultimate??

In any case if it does freeze then do a system restore via the safe mode.

 

[thinkfirst]

no sir my friend just downloaded the OS installer i dont know if it retail or OEM, but what should i do to know if it is retail or OEM?

If the drivers still make no difference then something else might have to be tried. HP Pavilion dv9700 Entertainment Notebook PC series -  Download drivers and software - HP Business Support Center

sir its not available anymore
