Error Code: 0x80070570 Windows 7 USB install issues (Ram?!)
by Guest _Kai_Nerd- 0 replies
- 225 views
So I kept getting this error when trying to install Windows 7 from a USB driver. I kept checking forums and troubleshooting. I was reverting back to 32bit windows from a previously installed 64bit version of Windows 7. I kept getting blue screens, so I assumed my Dell Vostro 400 was just never meant to run 64bit (came 32bit stock). Even though it is pointless to have this much ram (2x2gb and 2x1gb) I pulled out the 2x2gb and it finally was able to install the 32bit Operating system, but I don't know if I really need to replace my ram. The computer recognizes it in it's entirety now that the OS is installed. I guess I'm wondering how to go about making sure if my r…

When do the date/time stamps for this "file" get updated? I'm showing a creation date/time 9 days prior to installation (which I'm assuming and am about to test is due to a reinstall) and a entry modified date/time 3 weeks prior to the last shutdown, albeit in line with the last logon. So with all the activity going on are the date/time attributes only updated during login? Continue reading...

Hi, I am confused since I am reading that I cannot reimage an OEM Windows Pro PC wihtout SA with Windows 7 Ent licensing Media.

ON another question here where one person asks about using the Enterprise Volume license for 30 OEM PCs one person claims that one SA license is sufficient. WHat is the correct answer. I am ofcourse leaning toward the support agent's reply - NO SA required. Continue reading...
