Hi friends, Today I got delivery of a Asus laptop X550CA-X545D- Core i3(3rdGen), 2GB/500GB installed with free DOS. After charging complete, I attemped to install Win-7 x64 & messed everything. First I entered Bios & changed boot sequence to DVD-RW.

Then inserted Win-7 DVD & installation started. There were 2 partitions, one is around 460GB & another 13GB. Till then everything was all right., but problem started when I wanted to make 2/3 partition for multibooting. First I deleted partition & then tried to create 2 partitions of 150GB & 300GB. I didn't touch the small partition of 13 GB. From unallocated 460 gb, i tried for more than a hour but failed to create any partition.

Every time I got reply that windows cannot be installed in this partition. Lastly I tried to create only one single partition of 460 GB, but again I got same reply.

Solved: I have purchased a new HP 15-s005tx with a dos operating system. Kindly help me to install a fresh copy of windows 7 using bootable dvd. So youre trying to install Windows XP. Solved How to install windows to computer with no OS. IM having problems installing windows onto a hp laptop using dos.

Getting fed up, I stopped windows 7 installation but after 1-2 hrs, when I again inserted Win-7 dvd I got reply that disk unallocated. Also windows installation did not start.

Did I damage the laptop? Earlier I created dual boot in my desktop (i7-4th gen/Asrock Z87 Mb/1 tb Seagate HDD).

In desktop, withoutany problem in creating dual booting, created 5 partition from 1TB HDD & with that confidence I tried same procedure in laptop, but my little knowledge now damaged the laptop. Help me in overcoming from this situation.

Thanks & regards, jgp123. Butel Arc-433 Crack. I recently updated a lenovo R61 laptop which came with windows 7 64 pro and 1gb of ram. Performance was pitifully poor. Lack of ram and a slow 5400rpm laptop drive combined. It took overnight to apply maintenance. But, my plan was to add ram and convert to a ssd.

Adding 2gb of ram helped a bunch. The real benefit comes when you convert to a ssd. When I did both, a cheap laptop became a very nice pc. I suggest you plan on going to 4gb if you can, and use a ssd, you will not regret it. I doubt that you damaged the hardware.

Are you using a oem dvd, or are you using a retail or upgrade dvd? I am not experienced with multi os booting so not much help there.

IM having problems installing windows onto a hp laptop using dos. I'm mainly an apple user so i really don't know much about pc's.

I inherited this laptop with a fried hard drive so i stuck in a new one and now im having trouble installing windows xp from cd. I booted the laptop from the cd and it goes into dos. Then I type 'fdisk' and create a primary partition.

It asks me if i want large disk support. Then it proceeds to partition the drive and verify it. It tells me that it is partition was successful and to reboot.

Next i type 'format c:/s'. Then it says 'Warning all data on disk drive c will be lost. Proceed with format y/n?'

Then it says 'invalid device parameters from device driver' Anyone know what the problem is? I have searched and searched but cant seem to find the answer. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Yeah if you boot from a real XP cd it'll go into the setup process on its own and not leave you at a dos prompt. Also FDISK is not an XP command--it's only for dos and win 9X, although you can install XP on a partition less than 32 gig that was created with FDISK from a non-XP OS. Hard to tell what the cause of the error is but probably has something to do with what's loading in the disk's config.sys and autoexec.bat.
