EXACTLY what I was looking for!!!! I've been dealing with that BS missing USB driver error when booting from a USB thumb drive for a few days now. Your method was much faster and easier....GREAT job my friend!!!!
Dude, for real, thank you so much. I don't have any USB sticks around, don't have the money for one, and my DvD drive took a shit and my computer got fucked up beyond repair so I had no way to reinstall. Just finished a fresh installation. Really appreciate it. Least I know this for the future now. No need for DvD's at all nowadays....unless of course your comp is so destroyed you can't even get into windows.
Very straightforward and helpful. I also appreciate that you zoom in on what you're clicking on during your screen capture, so people can actually SEE the fine detail of what is appearing on your screen. Thanks!
this worked wonderfully for my pc. you can get iso file from microsoft itself. then using this method and another one for activating it, i flawlessly installed 8.1 thanks
When I want to create 'New Simple volume' it says:" The slected GPT formatted disk contains a partition which is not of type 'PARTITION_BASIC_DATA_GUID', and is both preceeded and followed by a partition of type 'PARTITION_BASIC_DATA_GUID'.
This tutorial Taught me a big lesson My ISO file was different from original so, When I changed my Active partition and restarted the system it said *bootmgr* is missing.. and I have *Dell Studio 1555* which can't change Active partition from *Bios* so I really needed a laptop. And it was my only one...I didn't know anything there was not a single tutorial on it... Then I bought an *OTG* and downloaded *Parrot OS* and *Live* mode worked perfectly...then i downloaded *Windows 7 iso* file from my mobile and copied to the USB's system which was *Parrot OS* and finally I Moved the ISO file to the Partition which I f*cked up😅 And finally restarted the system and everything worked! Thanks to God.. 😂❤
This guy deserves an award 🔥really works if you follow the instructions to the T Don't listen to the other idiots claiming he doesn't know what he's doing 👍
@@JMonstaH- Nah, man. I once downgraded to 8.1, but then came back after 6 months. I don't know there's something about 10 that attracts me. It's the design i guess. Btw 8.1 is really better in resource usage. Where 10 uses 30% ram, 8.1 uses only 15%. You have to choose wisely.
@@GokuBlack-rc6hr idk, make sure you have two partitions to start with like in the video. make primary, not extended partition. put the new partition at the end. each hdd can have 4 primary partitions max.
Finally!! Thank you so much! All the other tutorials or webpages were garbage. I kept getting errors using usb and even disc installation. Got my perfect clean install now! :)
Will it affect the data in other drives(partitions) after installation by this method??? Cause you have only the windows partition(Drive C) in the system used in this video...
You can download windows 7 and windows 8.1 from microsoft if you have a key. If you don't have a key, you should still be able to download Windows 8 from microsoft. You might be able to find a leagl version of windows 7 (without the key) on the internet. Just do a google search. www.howtogeek.com/186775/how-to-download-windows-7-8-and-8.1-installation-media-legally/
TO AVOID ERROR IN DISK PARTITION: It means your disk is GPT you need to convert it to MDR. Just search for EaseUS Partition Master in youtube to download it then crack it. This also solve the activate partition problem. It worked for me i used windows 10 GPT.
I have a question and if you could answer it would mean a lot!! At 1:45 you said to click on “Mark Partition As Active” button but my computer doesn’t have one. What do I do?
I think you fucked up your computer cause,maybe you did it in a wrong steps? and when i checked the entire video,it only adds some type of bootable and removeable disk
Does this delete *IMPORTANT* files such as NIVIDIA BLA BLA BLA and Adobe Flash Player (the important ones) and Intel(R) Network Connection Drivers and Driver Easy and other important ones?
Emran Ahmadi first do these procedure and you will able to do it its very easy 1. Download Easeus software 2. open Easeus and then click on the chosen drive and then choose the option as (convert primary) and then click apply you are good to go
idk, make sure you have two partitions to start with like in the video. make primary, not extended partition. put the new partition at the end. each hdd can have 4 primary partitions max.
Thanks dude, i had trouble with marking as active partition and my heart was fucking pounding because i was scared to screw up my pc. Now i can play a better game, i can now use all my ram and use more programs!
I tried this, now I can't boot in the drive where I was going to install Windows but also I can't boot from my current windows drive! This black screen is amazing, thank you.
Ah, so basically I plugged my HDD into another computer and "tried again" making the partition where I extracted the windows iso "active". But it took me many attempts. I used some commands to make it active, rather than using the windows partition tool.
yes, when you delete the partitions your files are deleted! you're basically formatting your drive and installing a new OS. Ususally you have to back-up your files, before installing a new OS.
YOU CANT BOOT THE WINDOWS 7 VOLUME BECAUSE YOUY CANNOT SELECT AS ACTIVE EVEN THROUGH THE CMD Y?????? BECAUSE ITS NOT AN MBR IT DEPENDS ON HOW YOUR DISK IS FORMATTED AND HOW YOU BOOT EITHER UEFI OR LEGACY
if you dont have windows this is kinda hard you can do it with an usb or dvd with all setup files on it and copying the files to your harddrive and then run the setup from there it will be a lot quicker
I have done all those steps but at the last movement By mistake I have deleted 'Extract new partition drive' which you have Install wind7. Now its showing. "an operating system wasn't found. try disconnecting any drives that don't contain an operating system. Press ctr+alt+delete to restart." so how would I install OS now.
? It seems my friend ended up putting windows vista on his computer before i was able to do factory restore on his computer so i assume i have to put windows 7 back on his computer some how to be able to do factory restore of windows7 which was on the computer to begin with. Or is there some other way.
last time I downloaded windows 7, it didnt work out. because i didnt put any of the drivers on the the usb if i were to make a new partition, with downloads to the drivers and windows, would that work
its been four years and i still keep watching this everytime i want a clean install. you are the best
