Question Unable to create recovery media for Satellite Pro C70-B-34U Solved! Trying to create a mobile hotspot from my laptop to my phone, can't get IP address I'm not a fan of W8, and W10 just looks like W8 on steroids (I know it's a vastly different OS, but I think I'll cling to W7 until the move is 100% necessary).
WINDOWS 7 DVD TO USB SAYS ISO IS INVALID WINDOWS 10
Thanks for your input photonboy, you've been a great help so far!Īs far as Windows 10 goes, I just don't like the idea. I simply thought I could clone everything to the SSD and continue
WINDOWS 7 DVD TO USB SAYS ISO IS INVALID INSTALL
I'll go the fresh install route & ensure AHCI is set in the BIOS prior to install.Ĥ) Oh no, I have a 100% working system on my HDD. Everything was still IDE when I cloned the drive. I've been trying to justify it anyway, but I'd rather get it up and running the way I hoped/intended.ģ) AHCI is definitely where I think I messed up.
Worst-case-scenario, I'll just buy a new laptop. Again, it really only matters that AHCI is on in the BIOS before you start installing Windows to the SSD.ġ) Windows 7 is still functional.on the HDD.Ģ) Warranty is LONG since expired. The data will be EXACTLY the same on the install media. Regardless whatever system you burn the ISO image to DVD/Thumb drive the state of the BIOS doesn't matter. Not sure what you mean since I didn't think you had a working system. but regardless I still recommend the W10 approach). I think there was a workaround such as forcing AHCI to Windows while running IDE in BIOS, then clone, switch to AHCI. (and yes, that might have been your issue. None of the links appear to work to obtain a Windows 7 ISO ?Īcer does have "Acer Recovery Management" which I believe can make recovery disks (hopefully it's able to create a recovery file on an external HDD too), I'll try that first.ĭo I enable AHCI in BIOS before creating the ISO? Or before I install the OS to the SSD?ġ) Acer Recovery requires you to burn the disks when Windows is still functional.Ģ) Acer will give you no support if Warranty is expired.ģ) AHCI should be on prior to a fresh install. It's an OEM copy of windows, and I have the product key (if it matters). I'm assuming once I've got the ISO onto the HDD, I change the boot order with USB as the 1st, then it'll install onto the SSD? Please let me know if I'm misunderstanding. How do I create an ISO file onto an external HDD to then install to the SSD? I didn't note down the exact error message but, by my research, I didn't ensure ACHI was set before I cloned? (IDE still shows beside the drive in BIOS, but I've enabled ACHI in the BIOS now).Īnyway, I'm back to the drawing board & I'd just like to do a fresh install of Windows 7 onto the SSD once it's installed. I cloned my HDD to the Samsung 840 EVO with the 'Samsung Data Migration' software, but the system won't boot. So, I finally got around to upgrading my RAM, and cleaned out the fan on my Acer Aspire 5733 (although I can't seem to secure the screen hinges back properly so I wish I didn't bother with the fan!), but I'm having an issue.
