Re: how do I re-install windows 7 starter on new hard drive in an aspire one D270- 1806

... Ok one more thing.....

I thought I had a copy of Win7 Starter installed..... It is actually Win 7 Premium and asking for key now [20days left to register]....

I put the key from my computer base [ on bottom of computer ] thinking it might do a conversion to the starter. When I initially installed the OPP SYS, there was no option for the starter version.

I expected it to have option for starter version at a later point...

Now the deal is, I must locate WIN7 Starter copy. I have looked around at some of the obvious sites with no good results. is there a link or a web site you can recommend? I'm not sure if I'm just over thinking this. This should have been the easy part I thought.

Ive seen information of how to recover on the original hard drive.. no use for me...

Any help appreciated

thanks in adavance...

Long road, but have all working again!!! Thanks so much for your help!

This is now something for the archives..... It was a bad Hard disk from new... I replaced and all went smooth after that.

- One last thought. what are your views, preferences and knowledge of Solid State Drives?

Thanks again! over and out!

Hi, I have tried to do install Win 7 again [before taking hard drive out to do disk scan/chk] hoping to get lucky...

It will allow me to select the 'delete' option but will not complete process and this code comes:

"failed to delete the selected partition.[Error: 0x8007045d]."

I tried on each partition individually. It will not allow collective delete.

I also tired to function the 'format' and 'refresh' options with no result.

the values of the partitions shown don't represent the value of the hard drive[750GB] either.

Disk 0 partition 13.0 GB[total size] 0.0MB[free space] OEM[reserved]

Disk 0 partition 2YSTEM RESERVED 100MB[total size] 61.MB System

Disk 0 partition 3 Partition 3 285GB [total size] 285.0GB Primary

these values 'MB' and 'GB' are as displayed. not mis-typed...

Hi, closer but not there yet...

install started from bootup, I had configured properly I'm guessing.

I was able to get all downloads you have suggested.

Upon install it had partitioned the hard drive into the three original. It stated the hard drive was about to fail.???

I had upgraded size to a WD 750GB [7200rpm]. Might it not recognise the size? speed? Is this a possible reason? It was brand new in sealed from store. [ still has two years warranty ]

It ran through set up ok. There was an error code after it had completed: 0x8007045D.

it uninstalled all changes. I then did same procedure from other USB port and got error code: 0x80070057 and it un-installed all again.

I don't know what these mean. The hard drive is under waranty. is it a possible failed divice from store?

The set up of Win 7 OPP system did not ask for type of install [ WIN 7 starter etc.] and would not get to a point of asking for my pass key.

I'm looking for any information again.... thanks in advance....

Thanks for good info, but I'm not out of the woods yet,

I had tried going to Microsoft to download ' Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool ' it was not available. I called their help number and was told they do not support the ' USB/DVD Tool ' and that I should have burned a disk from my computer....

Any other recommend places to find this tool?

Aspire D270-1806-New hard drive, needs Win 7 starter. no recover disk- HELP PLS

quantum — Mon, 23 Jun 2014 17:11:45 GMT

Help please!!

I have an Aspire D270-1806. New hard drive installed, old one had massive failure. No opp sys recovery disk was burned. I have no USB optical drive available to use. I have no copy of Windows 7 starter which was on the computer from purchase. I need to find the opp sys [download?] to install and use the key on that computer for verification. I'm also wondering if it can be bootable using a large volume flash drive instead of DVD? Any other info you may have will be much appreciated...

Thanks in advance...

New to this site.

I have an Aspire one D270 -1806. I had the hard drive die and no recovery disk was burned. I have replaced hard drive and need to find a clean copy of window 7 starter to install. I understand i can use the same product key to verify the copy to be installed. I don't have a USB optical drive. Is there a way to install from a USB flash drive? I've a large enough flash drive [16GB] (must the operating system be the thing on the flash drive?) I can't seem to find the 7 starter version either....

I've been at this for a few days now with little result. thanks in advance for direction and help.
