Hey i always used 32 bits versions of windows now & in the past but i would like to use win7 64bits Ultimate since new games start to require 64bits versions to run.
I tryed everything i know but nothing seems to help and i'm growing tyred to try
My Specs:
MB: Asus M2N SLI-Deluxe
Proc: AMD Athlon 64 x 2 Dual Core 4800+
RAM: 4GB
Gr. Card: Asus GeForce 630 GT 2GB DDR3
HDD: Maxtor 160GB + Some Reserve Maxtors of 160Gb in case i got to clean install.
euhm i have the old ones with large cable and those with red cable.
mainly i still use the old ones and works fine with Win7 U 32bits.
Other HDD: Got 1 Red Cable Maxtor 160GB but seems not to work to install OS on it.
i can install games and such on it but other then that no OS
EXT HDD:
- Seagate Expansion 1 TB
- Seagate Expansion 2 TB
PSU: 550 WATT
Optical Drive: 1 old crappy DVD RW Drive from NEC (large cable 1st Slave) (for some reason i can't burn discs with it no mather what OS i use but i can read discs with it but not all of them)
USB PORTS: 4 x 2.0 on motherboard (1 broken)
USB PORTS Front Panel: 2 x 2.0 (also got a no power USB HUB with 4 Ports on 1 of them)
USB Flash Drives:
- 8 GB SanDisc Cruser (i think 2.0)
- 32 GB Intuix 3.0
- 64 GB Intuix 3.0
KeyBoard:Cable Medion 3 Collors[/color] For Games
Mouse: Wireless Trust (simple mouse lol)
OS:
- on my not connected now HDD 160 GB Maxtor i got XP Pro 32 Bits.
i don't use XP verry offen anymore since most games now requires at least Win 7 to run.
- now connected HDD 160 GB Maxtor i got Win 7 Ultimate 32 Bits.
My Problems:
Now i run Win7 U 32 Bits,
i try to do clean install with USB Flash since Optical Drive don't work,
i tryed with USB Flash Drive 2.0 & 3.0 since i have read somewhere that when you install Win7 64b
your bios can read USB 3.0 untill it actualy whant to install & does not recognize USB 3.0.
I don't think that this is the problem but i am not sure.
When i boot from USB:
Everything loads up like it should till the select Keyboard menu right before you click INSTALL.
When i select Uprgrade install, it says : no Installation found or something on C , on D to ...
( C & D = Main HDD With Large Cable Partitioned in 2) ==> C = 80 Gb & D = 80 Gb.
On C it should find Win 7 ???
On D it's normal since the drive is Formated.
When i try Clean Install and select 1 of all my listed HDD drives it says on all of them that there is no System files found or something.
i see those drives:
HDD 0 = P1 =C 80 Gb & P2 = D 80 Gb
HDD 1 = EXT HDD 1 TB i don't wanna use since its EXT & for storage
HDD 2 = EXT HDD 2 TB i don't wanna use since its EXT & for storage
When i click the Advanced disk i am only able to:
- Erase
- Format
- Load Drivers
Not Able to:
- Create
- Merge
- Extend
- Split
Im not sure what i did wrong but i never had trouble to install any OS in 32 Bits.
To further test & try to install i disconected large cable HDD & putted a Formated & Partitioned Red Cable HDD in my pc (same like above C = P1 = 80 Gb & D = P2 = 80 Gb).
Since i't is completely formated i don't need the Upgrade option so i tryed Clean install.
At First i my HDD didn't showed up to select it to install.
I did a few Bios changes, if i remember correctly i made it Detect RAID
and first i made it read on SPRITE, i reapeated install procedure and then it showed the HDD 0 Both Partitions, i tryed on both C & D but it won't install.
I did changed the RAID again in MIRROR but same again.
Result :
When i eiter try to install on Large or Red cable HDD, when it's about to install it says something like:
Windows is unable to install because it is missing some Critical Drivers. each time over & over again.
i tryed to load USB drivers 2.0 & 3.0 (Intel ones & the other ones (don't remember the name), changed motherboard ASUS drivers, and all i could possibly found on various treads i i have read and nothing works at all even the SOLVED ones.
I don't know if i'm dumb or what but i've been busy now for a day or 3 without luck.
Is it possible my MB or Proc doesn't support 64 Bits OS ? i doubt it but ... idk
Maybe its something wrong with HDD ?
Or the way its connected ?
I realy don't know what to do anymore.
i even tryed different ISO's i found on the net just to try if nothing is wrong with the one i got but all give the exact same errors.
I don't understand, it should be easy to do at least i think it's pretty easy & never had trouble to do such things before
Somebody got same probs with same MB & Proc. ?
Thanks for reading and i hope to get a solution this time
