Windows 7 installation fails after 1 setup session

[SGNDK]

Hi all,

I am trying to install Windows 7 on my Acer Predator 7750G but everytime the first installation phase stops it says that it cannot configure my computer so the installation will stop.

I have had some virus problems on my HDD were i couldn't see what was on them, that is the reason why i have choosen to install from scratch on the computer!

Anyone tried this problem?

Appreciate the help

NB! I am from Denmark so my english is very poor, sorry for that!

Did you clean your HD first?

I have done a clean HD but when i try to do it again it says that the partition is readonly (on danish skrivebeskyttet) so i cannot do it again??

Are you following the tutorial.

SGNDK,

Please follow the procedure to do a Clean All on your hard drive.

The majority of following info is in the links already given to you.

​

[FONT=&quot]GO TO A COMMAND PROMPT USING YOUR WIN 7 DVD[/FONT][FONT=&quot][/FONT]
■Boot up from your Windows 7 DVD.
■At the first dialog window, press SHIFT + F10 key combo
■You will have a X:> command prompt
X: is a ram drive created by Windows 7.

​

[FONT=&quot]WIPE A DISK CLEAN[/FONT]​

· type DiskPart, Enter key
· type List disk, Enter key
note the numeral of the disk you want to clean
for example purposes, I’ll be using the numeral 2
· type Select disk 2, Enter key
· type Detail disk, Enter key
this info will let you know if you selected correctly
· type Clean ALL, Enter key
your entire disk is being overwritten with zeros.
This can take a considerable amount of time
· type EXIT, Enter key (only after Clean is finished)
· type EXIT, Enter key (this gets you back where you were)


=========================

Your english is excellent. Congratulations.

After 3 tries it worked! The first disk, which haves 931 GB, is now doing a clean all and after that the second disk will have the same treat; so it is gonna take about 8 hours (after your guides time info) so i will post again tomorrow or whenever the computer will be done!

And thanks, writing a post takes forever

You can remove the the second HD & do that one when you have install Windows 7 OK.

I have just read the clean install guide again, and is says something about that when you run with raid you need to have your drivers on a USB pen! Is it possible that anyone of you guys know which drivers i need or de i even run raid when the predator is just as when it came from Acer (i know it is a dumb question but i have only had the computer for 2 weeks so i really want it to work).

My computer specs (here on danish if there is a different predator in US), mayby you guys can figure it out?

I have dowloaded the sata drivers from the Acer homepage!

http://www.acer.dk/acer/product.do?link=oln85e.redirect&changedAlts=&kcond48e.c2att101=-1&CRC=2759084358#wrAjaxHistory=0 It is the G7750 there

Do you know what RAID is?

sgndk,
Use Speccy, then copy and paste from speccy to the place where you enter your system specs.

I have no OS installed on the computer so i cannot install speccy on it, and i am posting from a Mac Book Pro so i cannot even download Speccy!

I have a little clue about Raid, but not at all.. Shall i read the whole wiki page and set my computer to something??

 

[karlsnooks]

You do not need to worry about RAID.

You do not have a RAID on your computer. (not even the bug spray kind.)

AS you have little clue about RAID, stay away from RAID.

Acer Home It is the G7750 there

If you need Sata Controller Drivers download from here:
Intel Sata Controller Drivers

I have choosen this driver:

 64-bit Intel® RST Driver Files for F6 Install

This is the right one right, because when i choose windows 7 64 bit 3 drivers appear..

For 64bit YES, but you must likely will not need them.

Thanks, the update on the diskpart process will come around in 2 hours!

Is there any way i can check which of the HDD i have done the clean all process on and which one i should plug out?

I hope you are doing disk0.
Which should be pluged in to Sata0 port.

 

[karlsnooks]

diskpart
list disk
select disk 0
detail disk
select disk 1
detail disk

Now here I've used 0 and 1. You use the numbers which the info from list disk indicates corresponds to your disks.

In just a second I'll be back with some more info.
