custom install

Hi, I previously used Nlite to make a custom xp install with the sp3 slipstream feature, it also let me install drivers for the sata drive. Upon installation I had a variety of issues like missing files. Anyway today I wanted to just make a original xp disc using the driver packs software...

This issue is my friend's who has spent many hours building data using non-Microsoft apps. His laptop refuses to start up into Win10. Microsoft agent says the way forward is to do a custom install on the C: drive. There are three other drives that my friend has created on his 1TB HDD. He...

I successfully upgraded Win 8.1 to Windows 10 via Windows Update. I also created an install DVD using the Media Creation Tool. Sometime soon I would like to do a clean install using this DVD, so I can get rid of a lot of junk on my PC and start out new. I assumed I would just put the DVD in my...

Hello When the free upgrade is available, for people who are not techy like me, could you correct some misconceptions I have. I think I will click on the installation file to begin, I don't know if I will need a product key, I hope to choose 'custom' for a clean install and not upgrade, I do not...

Well, I've been working on this for a couple of days now, and I've researched this issue like crazy, but nothing I've found covers my situation, so I'm looking for some advanced help, please. I'm trying to perform a clean (custom) install of Windows 7 Pro 64-bit from the original retail DVD...

So, I got a new, larger SSD to put windows on. I did a custom install. During the installation I pressed shif-F10 to open cmd then used robocopy /copyall /mir /E /XJ C:\Users D:\Users rmdir /S /Q C:\Users mklink /J C:\Users D:\Users I did the same with Program Files, Program Files (x86)...

I just put together a brand new PC build with all new components. In the middle of a custom install of Windows 7 on the HDD (the system only has one 1TB 7200rpm toshiba HDD), the installation screen went blank and the computer restarted. After restarting, the monitor displayed bootdisk mgr...

1. Is there a difference between a clean and custom installation? When considering a OS change from Vista 32 to Win 7/64 bit, which process should I be using? Or are the words clean/custom install more or less semantics and mean the same thing? 2. I have been looking at purchasing Win 7 Pro...

Greetings: I have a faulting disk that needs replacement. I am considering replacing the disk with a SSD/HDD Seagate 750GB, 7500 RPM disk. I also want to install Win7/64 bit to replace the original Vista 32 bit OS. And upgrade the memory from 3 to 4 GB. I am not computer savvy, but learning...

Hi there ! I just got my mother's computer back from a repair shop (they've changed the graphic card, the motherboard and the processor, the hard drive stayed the same) It is a SONY VAIO VPCEE25fx. I used my Windows 7 Ultimate OEM CD I had when I bought her the computer. But then, at the...

Hi, I was wondering if the custom installation option would delete my files that are located on hard drive D, I know that it would totally wipe out C but does the same happen to the other hard drives ,cuz I really have a lot of files and their size is more than 100gb :/ how many usb's am I gonna...

I find it folly to install my applications on the C drive, especially the larger applications. Doing so makes the C drive so large that it is cumbersome to make the image backups that I think are necessary to insure an easy recovery from any problem causing a failure to boot. In WinXP, there is...
