hello to all!!!!
i have an hp mini 210 1010ss.
i had windows 7 on it, and my life was perfect!
the last few days, i ve been trying to instal mac osx on it... and my nightmare began!!!
after unsucceful instalations of osx, i quit that...
and i tried to boot windows... it didnt boot....
now i have created an windows 7 boot usb... i boot from usb... instalation begin...
i go to the point where i should choose the disk where i want to install... and there are no disks...
says that there are no disks drivers.
i try to do a scan, and i can find any.
when i try to browse, of course only two disks shows up, the usb, and a partition i supose a kind of back from hp.
on that "hp partition" i go to system 32, drivers / driver repository, and i cant seem to identify the driver.

how do i solve this?

Hi Riclx and welcome to the Forum. Could you please fill in your System Spec's as this will aid the folks here to help you.
Please explain: ps: i cant use the recovery system from hp.

Cheers

Yeah what more then likely happened is the OSX install either wiped the drive or formatted it in a format the Windows does not see and the 7 setup routine isn't seeing a non partitioned non formatted drive or formatted in some other format.
You need to boot the system from a USB stick that has a partitioning and formatting program on it. Delete all partition that are now on it, create a new partition and format NTFS. Then run the 7 install.

You say you can see the HP Recovery Partition.
You also say "ps: i cant use the recovery system from hp". WHY?

See- Using Setup Utility in your user manual.

[riclx]

it shows up on the chameleon loader of the osx to select from where you wanna boot... but it gives no boot manager error...
i also can see it on the install of windows 7, but i cant seem to find the driver to solve it.

Really that isn't helping.
He says he can't use it. WHY? Probably because the fubar install of OSX did all those options in. Same reason the 7 install can't see a partition/drive to install to.

Sorry but how many times are you going to post the same thing and expect a different result. That is called insanity.

 

[riclx]

i ve followed this guide to create the usb again.... and same thing happens...

i dont know much about this... but may i can t run the hp recovery, since its in the hd... and since theres no drivers to acess the hard drive... it doesnt boot... i dont know...
i cant seem to find a way to solve this....

 

[johnnya]

Well I guess I am looking for the simplest solution first. He says in his post that he CAN see the HP Recovery Partition. Normally the Restore to Factory option is the first thing to try. His manual gives clear instructions on how to access this capability. Using this capability has nothing to do with missing HD drivers.
Just my opinion and an honest attempt to help the OP. I assure you I am not insane as you say, but I will leave him in your most capable hands

[riclx]

come on guys.... all suggesstions will be most greatfull and tryied...
the recovery was the first thing to try...
when i launch recovery... the thing is that chameloen bootloader kicks in... and when i select the partition where is the recovery ... it says... boot manager missing... press ctrl alt del to restart...
i must be missing something....

this is the guide i told you about...
Kevin’s Blog

didnt help...

any more suggestions?
thanks

 

[riclx]

ps: the osx is notloading also

 

[riclx]

anyone???

 

[Shootist]

There is a utility tok put any ISO, bootable, on a USB stick.
I thought it was Ultra ISO but I just installed that and can't find the option/setting to do that. I know I did it with a ISO for Mustang PE ISO with both Acronis True Image and Disk Director loaded in it.

there are a couple of utilities out there to do this

You could download a Recovery disk and see if you can repair the MBR with it.
Download Windows 7 System Recovery Discs — The NeoSmart Files
Check this site, it should walk you through the steps.
P.S,
You said you could see both installs, just can't boot into either one, right?

i tried to install ubuntu... it didnt install it... but i used it to format the hd....
i have win 7 install runing now....
lets how it goes...
thanks to all
ill give feedback...

You should still download and burn a recovery disk, for future use.
Also go to the manufacturers web site and see if there is a way to
make one from your recovery partition.
