Blane Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Hello everybody! Sorry for being inactive lately.I'm having problems with my computer.Before some days I decided to install windows 7 (Not a really good thought... ::)).Windows 7 destroyed my hard disk.They installed correctly but it couldn't stand as alone OS.It had problems with many programs regarding compatibility issues.Anyway the point is that I decided to re-installed my stable Windows XP SP3 version which I downloaded.The problem is that Windows can't find any Hard Disk to install.It seems like Windows 7 destroyed my System File(ntfs probably).I'm currently speaking from Ubuntu which I installed correctly over Windows 7.I tried to reboot with Windows XP Installer but the problem continues.I saw in google that I have to download some SATA drivers.Well, I can't find them!My laptop is an ACER Aspire 5920G and I can't solve my problem in any way.If someone can help me on this, I would appreciate it... Please don't post spam replies like "Just find them", "Google it" or something similar cause I did that. Thanks in advance for answering as FAST as possible :) Greetings, -Blane
Phoenix4 Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 A question which build of win7 you tried to install ? <.<
ExTrEmEDwarf Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 I got the same problem when i installed windows 7 so i did format again and i re-installed win XP Lulz :S check This site if have the drivers u need.
Blane Posted October 12, 2009 Author Posted October 12, 2009 It's Windows 7 latest beta build. (probably the one that Microsoft will publish at 22 October) @ExTReme : I found it I think but it's an exe XD.Can't use it on Linux :/ -Blane
Phoenix4 Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 It's Windows 7 latest beta build. (probably the one that Microsoft will publish at 22 October) The latest build is 7600 there are Rtm and Msdn well that's another story , win7 and generally an OS isn't made to destroy hard disks <.< i installed win7 on four desktops and one laptop without any problem , i can't understand that went wrong... about compatibility on build 7600 i didn't had any problem i think leeroy installed win7 too and didn't had any problem like that :D
Blane Posted October 12, 2009 Author Posted October 12, 2009 Yes I know that, it's probably the version I downloaded.But screw them.I need Windows XP back which I can't have right now :/
Versus Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 I'm running on windows 7 now, Kenji too. I'll give you my cd to install it ;)
Blane Posted October 12, 2009 Author Posted October 12, 2009 I cannot install any Windows right now...I have the problem I sayed before.Now I found something (XP+SATA Drivers).I'll try them and report.But please, don't hesitate to post other solutions... EDIT: Downloaded WinXP + SATA Drivers (ISO) and it has been fixed.Locked! ;D -Blane
