mikehende Posted January 28, 2016 Author Posted January 28, 2016 It seems Installing win7 32bit version from both disks did not work. I installed the 64bit and all went as per normal and it's checking for updates right now. If all goes well, I will reinstall 64bit on the previous machine, will you know how all turns out. Quote
mikehende Posted January 28, 2016 Author Posted January 28, 2016 I was using the onboard dell diagnostics but I am now done totally testing that pc, everything works to perfection now with the 64bit version. I am currently loading the first identical pc with 64bit, will let you guys know. Quote

mikehende Posted January 29, 2016 Author Posted January 29, 2016 Same deal now with both pc's guys, they work to perfection and just to add to anyone's knowledge here, this is what I have found out: Is this 32bit Windows? If the hard disk is formatted GPT then Windows 7 32bit will not install. Is 32bit currently on the computer? On newer computers with Advanced Format Drives Windows SP1 is required unless you add the drivers for the chipset during initial install. See this Seagate page. Quote
FPCH Admin allheart55 Cindy E Posted January 29, 2016 FPCH Admin Posted January 29, 2016 Ahhh, you never told us that the HDD was formatted as GPT. On newer computers with Advanced Format Drives Windows SP1 is required unless you add the drivers for the chipset during initial install This I didn't know....
