Windows 7 Installation FAQ

With the increasing number of genuine Windows7 users, many users are beginning to try to install Windows7 systems on their own to reinstall or help their friends. However, the installation process for Windows 7 May cause installation to continue for many external reasons. Personal experience, the main reason is that the hardware components are incompatible or the system hardware configuration can not meet the minimum requirements of Windows 7, so in the scheduling should focus on this aspect, less detours. Here we analyze some of the most typical cases for analysis.

　　(1). Setup refused to install or start

If the hardware component is incompatible with Windows 7, it may cause the installation to fail or the installer will not start. So make sure that Windows 7 detects all system hardware prior to installation and that the hardware is contained in the Windows 7 Hardware Compatibility List (HCL). It is recommended that you perform the necessary compatibility checks before installing Windows 7, and that it is too late to check for compatibility if you have already started the installation. If you are upgrading the installation or dual system installation, I think you can reboot to the original system, and then start the installer with the following parameters to detect. "/1394debug:" Enables kernel debugging on a specific channel on the FireWire (IEEE 1394) port. "/debug" To enable kernel debugging through the COM1 or COM2 port. "/usbdebug:" Enables kernel debugging through a USB port to a specific target device. These options put the installer in debug mode to help you determine the cause of the failure. If Setup detects hardware conflicts, you can configure hardware to eliminate conflicts.

　(2). Setup Reports media or DVD error

If you are installing directly from a Windows 7 installation disc, or if you are installing from a network through a publishing share, you may also experience problems with media errors that cause the installation to fail. For a DVD installation, try cleaning the DVD drive so that it can be read better, or replace the optical drive or CD. For enterprise users, the client is generally sharing the installation from a shared publication, typically without all of the installation files in the share, or there is a problem with the shared network connection, from which you can make the wrong arrangement.

　　(3). Setup Reports system resources are insufficient

Microsoft recently unveiled the minimum hardware resource requirements for Windows 7 installations: At least 512MB of RAM and approximately 25GB of hard disk space. For some older users, Setup cannot start if the minimum memory requirements for Windows 7 installations are not met. If the installer can start, but it detects a lack of hard disk space, it will not be installed, unless we rebuild the partition, or delete the original partition, we have enough space to install the operating system. For this type of installation failure, Windows 7 has a clear error prompt, and it is certainly easy to err.

　　(4). Encountering Setup suddenly stops responding

Eliminate all the above factors, sometimes we are lucky to encounter the installation program suddenly stopped the corresponding situation. The usual scenario is that the installation of Windows 7 would have been smooth, and suddenly we found that the installation stopped responding and stopped the installation from the current interface without any progress. In this case, sometimes we will see the Stop error prompts, some time nothing, the system is like a panic.

If you have error prompts to install stop, most stop errors are obscure error codes that don't tell us exactly where the problem is. At this point, we can write down these error numbers or code, then go to the Microsoft Knowledge Base (http://support.microsoft.com) query for detailed information, and then the wrong line. At this time the installation can not be done, we usually need to press the Ctrl+alt+del key to restart the computer to interrupt the error, sometimes the key combination is not valid we need to press the power button on the computer to force the reboot system. Under normal circumstances, after we restart the computer will go directly to the Setup program, the installation continues. In some cases, you may also see the boot menu, and if this is the case, we can choose the Windows installer option so that the installer continues. If the installer stops responding again, you will need to restart your computer, and sometimes you may need to try several times to complete the installation. This type of failure is typically caused by a sudden reboot that can solve the problem. However, the memory and CPU may also be the cause of the problem, which requires us to make more complex troubleshooting, in general, the replacement of hardware will solve the problem.

Finally, it is necessary to explain the use of genuine Windows7, such as encountered difficult to solve the problem can be directly called to consult Microsoft Company to seek help, do not remain in the concept of everything to solve their own era of piracy.
