How to make a disk with a Windows 7 installation. What do you need to know before installation? Disabling antivirus software
Greetings, friends.
Probably every computer or laptop user has encountered a situation when he realizes that it is time to reinstall the operating system. This is due to the emergence of difficulties at work, frequent mistakes and other unpleasant moments. But what if you don’t have a USB flash drive, a plastic disk to burn the image on, or the disk drive refuses to work? No need to worry. Today I will tell you how to hard drive install Windows. Many people don’t even suspect that such tools even exist.
It must be said right away that this option is only suitable for operating systems that are in working condition, since many movements will need to be made using the shell. That is, if you suddenly have blue screen– this method will not help.
In addition, it is worth noting that this manual should only be used for future installations of Windows 7 or later modern versions. Moreover, it does not matter at all on what device the operation is performed. Therefore, it will not be possible to place Windows XP on a computer or laptop in this way. Because other mechanisms are used there.
For the procedure itself we need several tools:
A program for working with images - usually this DAEMON Tools . Personally, I generally use the built-in capabilities of Win.
Utility EasyBSD.
The very image of the operating system.
Step by step instructions( )
Important! It is advisable that before this moment your hard drive has already been divided into at least two partitions - for the system and files.
So, to install Windows 8 from an HDD, you need to perform a number of steps. First, create a separate section for installation files:
Now to install Windows 10 or early version you need to properly prepare the files themselves:
Now you need to do this, the computer understands where it needs to boot from. This is exactly what the app is for. EasyBCD. The order of actions is as follows:
If in some situation you don’t understand something, you can just watch the video:
If you select "", you will see whether the entry appeared or not. In your case it should already be in place.
After the work has been done, close the application and restart the computer. As a result, a menu should appear from which users can select the right system. Then specify the installation disk "". As a result, it should start standard procedure operating system installations.
Bootice( )
The last chain of actions can be performed via Bootice. The program allows you not to create additional disk, but installs everything available.
We do the following:
It is worth noting that there is no need to indicate exactly where the file responsible for the correct loading of the system is located, since the application will find it itself.
Installation( )
This method does not require setting boot parameters through the BIOS, as is the case with using a plastic disk or USB drive. This approach is useful if suddenly the buttons on your keyboard do not work, allowing you to get to the right place.
In general, regardless of the version of the future OS, the process is almost the same.
It is important to remember that it is best to have one hard drive connected before starting the process. This will simplify the partition selection process. In addition, the equipment will consume less resources, which will generally have a positive effect on performance. Therefore, you should not install the OS on another one in this way hard drive. The same can be said about placement on an SSD. Of course, if each action is performed correctly, no problems should arise. But even with the slightest mistake, there is a possibility of losing all the data on any of the partitions.
It is also worth noting that a similar procedure is possible with external hard disk. True, for this you will still need to run Win to set all the parameters. However, again, such procedures are not recommended, since by mistake you can simply delete data.
If you are using a connected device, you can set the boot setting from it in the BIOS and simply place a new shell on your laptop or computer. True, for this it is necessary to correctly record the OS on the external component. More details are available.
In any case, regardless of the chosen method, anyone can place a new one if they already have Windows on their computer.
Well, I hope this article will help you deal with problems on your device.
In general, I would like to recommend finding a compact portable USB device(today they cost minimal money) and write down the right system. Personally, I have three of these - for each latest version OS from Microsoft Corporation. Thus, I can insert a flash drive into the port at any second, and within two hours completely restore the computer’s functionality, while having a brand new shell.
I wish you good luck in your difficult work! Subscribe and tell others about the blog.
Windows 7 is an operating system for personal computers from Microsoft, used on at the moment in wide demand among PC users. Windows 7 is quite demanding on the parameters and power of the computer, and its installation has its own subtleties and nuances, so before you read the instructions on how to install Windows 7 from a disk, make sure that your computer can function normally with it.
System Requirements
- Processor with a frequency of at least 1 GHz.
- RAM of at least 2 GB.
- Free hard disk space is about 20 GB.
- Disk drive, since Windows 7 will be installed from a disk.
Creating a boot disk
So, if you don't have a special installation disk Windows 7, then in this case you need to create it yourself. To do this, download any assembly and program you like Ultra ISO. Next, install Ultra ISO and use it to open our assembly, at the top of the program you will see several tabs, find the “Bootboot” tab there and in the drop-down menu click on “Burn” image of a tough disk."
The boot disk is ready, now you can proceed directly to the installation.
Installing Windows 7
Now you need to insert the disk into the computer and restart it. When you turn on the computer, a screen will appear, most likely with the name of the motherboard and an indication of how to get into the BIOS. In order to get into the BIOS, you need to press either the Del button or one of function buttons– all this will be indicated on the screen.
Select “Boot” and then the “Boot device priority” item, where you select “1st Boot Device", and already there set the CD-ROM parameter. Press F10, then press “Y”, and then – Enter.
If the BIOS looks like this:
In this case, select Advanced BIOS Features, where you find the setting called “1st Boot Device”. We select it by pressing the Enter key, and then you yourself will decide which setting to use - boot from disk. Then, again, press F10, then “Y,” and then Enter.
Press any key and the following screen will appear:
Now you need to wait a while while the necessary ones are downloaded system files. Before installing Windows 7, you need to decide which language you will work in. A corresponding window will appear where you select desired language, then click the “Next” and “Install” button.
Then you will need to accept the license agreement and select the installation type, in our case we select the “Full installation” option.
Once the installation is complete, a window will appear in which you need to enter data such as username and password. That's all, if you still have any questions, ask in the comments.
Hi all! I dedicated this article to the disclosure of such a well-known topic " How to install Windows 7". So we'll look at how to install operating system Windows 7 on personal computer. If you think that installing an OS is something incomprehensible and complicated, then I will disappoint you, because this is not true. And you can verify this.
What you need to install Windows 7 is the computer itself or laptop and a disk with the OS. Before you begin the installation, you must decide on the bitness of the operating system and its version. I can tell you right away if you have RAM your computer has less than 4 gigabytes, then don’t hesitate and install 32 bit system(x86). If the RAM is more than 4 Gigabytes, then don’t even hesitate - install 64-bit Windows.
There are two most basic points that must be made before installing an operating room Windows systems. Don't forget about them.
The very first thing you need to do is decide in advance on which partition of your disk the operating system will be installed. It needs to be prepared in advance. In most cases, this is the C: drive. The entire desktop is located on this disk, so think carefully about important files, which are stored here. Just copy these files from your desktop to another medium (partition or flash drive). All your programs installed on system disk will also be deleted. However, you shouldn’t worry too much about this, because these programs can be easily reinstalled on a clean system. Don’t be lazy, it’s not every day that you reinstall the Windows 7 operating system.
As for the second point, these are drivers for your PC hardware. Almost every computer comes with driver discs. If they are not there, then you can easily find them on the Internet on the manufacturer’s website.
In general, I advise you to be well prepared for these two moments, so that you don’t bite your elbows later because your Internet does not work due to the lack of drivers for the network card, or the images are not displayed as you would like, also due to the lack of a driver for the network card. video card.
How to install the Windows 7 operating system
Actually, let's get started Windows installation 7 from disk:Insert the OS disc into the drive and reboot the PC. Now you need to press hotkey call Boot Menu (this is a menu where you can select the priority of the device from which the download will occur first). In our case, this device is a disk drive. Depending on the manufacturer, these keys may differ. Typically these are the keyboard buttons F8, F9, F10, F11 or F12. Immediately when you turn on the computer, press these hot buttons one by one until a similar window pops up.
After the boot menu appears, select CD/DVD-ROM and press Enter.
As soon as the inscription appeared " Press any key to boot from CD or DVD" immediately press Enter again or another key, such as space.
When the message “Windows is loading files” appears, you need to wait a little, because at this moment the files are being extracted. After extraction you will see the inscription "Starting Windows". This indicates that Windows installation has begun.
Select Russian language and click on “Install”.
Now we are shown various Windows edition 7. Choose the one you need. I already spoke about the bit depth of the operating system almost at the very beginning.
After choosing, you need to read the license terms and agree.
Select the partition on which you want to install Windows. That is, if you are reinstalling the operating system, then before doing so, look in old Windows, how much memory is on drive C:. And then it will be easier to find it when choosing a section. Click on "Disk Settings".
Choose formatting and agree.
When it is formatted, select this partition again and click “Next”.
After this, the operating system installation process begins.
Here we can relax and watch the installation of Windows. At this stage, all you need is patience. 15-30 minutes and our system will be installed on your computer. At this time, the computer will reboot several times, do not be alarmed, these are the steps necessary during installation. Immediately after this, the system will prompt you to enter your username and computer name.
We enter the data.
Now, if you want, you can put a password on your account.
You will also need drivers for devices installed in the computer (chipset, sound card, video card, webcam, etc.)
Burning a Windows XP installation disc
To burn a Windows installation disk, we need a disk image, a disk burning program from the image, a CD writer, and the CD itself.
Image Windows disk Download XP SP3 Professional
Any disc burning program that supports burning from an ISO image will do, for example Nero or DeepBurner, which can be downloaded for free.
So, we downloaded the disk image and installed the DeepBurner program. Now let's look at the disc burning process.

Choose Burning an ISO Image and click Next.
I don’t know about you, but for me the project window opened in a compressed form. Therefore, you need to stretch it by grabbing the lower right corner with the mouse or expand it to the full screen so that it looks like in the figure below.
In the project window, click the button with three dots (Browse) and select the file of the downloaded iso image of the Windows XP installation disk. In our case this is the file ZverCDlego_9.2.3.iso.
Now you need to select the recording speed and press the button Burn ISO. In order for the disc to record better, the speed should be selected slightly less than the maximum. Now all you have to do is wait for the disc to burn. Once the Windows XP SP3 installation disc has been burned, the drive tray will eject itself. The disc is ready!

How to install Windows XP from a disk via BIOS
Now it's time to look at the process itself installing Windows XP on a computer from a disk.
First of all, you need to configure boot from the floppy drive in the BIOS. To do this you need to go to the BIOS menu. How to do this may vary depending on the motherboard model. In most cases, this menu can be accessed by pressing the button Del(on some motherboard models you need to press the key F2) after turning on the computer (during start screensaver on the screen). It's better to press this key several times to be sure.

Detailed description of how to install Windows 7 to a laptop or computer.
A short introduction to the Windows 7 installation process
This article describes in detail the process of installing Windows 7 on a laptop, computer or other similar device. This guide is intended not only for beginners who have previously practically never encountered the need to install an operating system, but also for more experienced users who, for some reason, cannot install Windows.
At the moment, Windows 7 is one of the most popular operating systems. Microsoft systems. It can be installed on almost any modern computer, laptop or tablet. Don't believe it scary stories, which talks about how complicated and confusing it all is, even a beginner who has not actively worked with computers can handle installing the system.
It should be noted that the installation of Windows 7 with DVD disc A. If your device does not have DVD drive, then you can install Windows 7 from a flash drive or memory card using one of the guides: and. This method is suitable for owners of tablets, some modern laptops and nettops. Unlike an external DVD drive, almost every user has a flash drive or memory card with a capacity of 4GB or more.
Preparing to install Windows 7
Before installing the operating system, you need to do a little preparation. First of all, it is recommended to copy all important data from the partition on which you are going to install Windows 7. This need is due to the fact that during installation this partition will be formatted. In other words, all the information that is on the partition of the hard drive on which you will install Windows 7 will be deleted. This is usually the section C:\. All necessary information copy from there or to another disk ( D:\, for example), or, even better, to another computer. Most important information can also be burned to DVDs. You don't want to lose important documents from the same Desktop or from a folder with documents on disk C:\?
That's not all. Before installing Windows 7, it is recommended to download and save the appropriate drivers and utilities for this system. The fact is that the Windows 7 distribution may not initially contain drivers for your network card, Wi-Fi adapter or for your modem. After installing Windows 7, you simply will not be able to go online and download required driver. To avoid falling into this vicious circle, It is recommended to download everything in advance working system . What drivers you need and where you can download them are shown in detail at the end of this guide.
Important Note: if you are installing Windows 7 instead of the pre-installed Windows 8, 8.1 or 10, then it is strongly recommended that you read the guide: Removing the pre-installed Windows 8, which describes very important features this process.
The main problem is that many modern laptops and tablets, which are initially sold with pre-installed Windows 8 or 8.1, contain a drive with a table GPT partitions and enabled mode UEFI boot. Unfortunately, Windows 7 often cannot be installed on such a system, despite the formal UEFI support and GPT. To solve this problem, you need to enable Legacy mode in the BIOS and convert the drive's partition table to MBR.
When you have copied all the information important to you to another disk or computer, you can move on to the next steps.
Installing Windows 7 can be divided into the following basic operations:
Let's start preparing the disk with the distribution kit.
Preparing a disk with Windows 7 distribution
Let's take a closer look at how you can write a system image to disk. If you already have a disk with a Windows 7 distribution, then you can safely skip this step.
To burn a disc with Windows 7 we will need:
- The original image of the installation disk with Windows 7 in the format .iso. You can download it from the Microsoft website after entering your serial number;
- to burn the image to disk. You can download the version used in the article using the following links: / ;
- Blank DVD. Windows needs to be recorded somewhere :)
note that strongly not recommended use various amateur Windows builds 7, of which there are a great many on the Internet. Unlike original Windows distributions, problems arise with them much more often. This is due to the fact that their authors do not always take a responsible approach to the testing process. Also sometimes they disable some important system settings and services, which may cause problems with some drivers and applications in the future.
Original Windows images are available on the Microsoft website using the link above. You can also use original MSDN and OEM images, as well as copies of disks from boxed versions Windows 7.
First, install and run the utility downloaded from the links above
On the menu Create/burn disk image select an item Burn a CD/DVD/Blue-ray disc from a disc image.
Click on the button Review and indicate where it is located Windows image 7:
Insert a blank DVD into the drive and press the button Burn DVD
We are waiting a little:
This is how the disc was recorded:
We put this disk in the drive of a laptop, computer or other similar device on which you are going to install Windows 7.
Setting up boot from DVD in BIOS
To activate booting from a DVD, you first need to go to BIOS. Roughly speaking, BIOS- this is the settings menu for some important parameters laptop, computer or other similar device. Important parameters include determining the boot order of devices. This is what interests us. To do this, when you turn on the laptop, you need to press a certain key. As a rule, when loading, at the bottom of the screen it is indicated which button to press to enter BIOS. Most often this F2, Del, Esc and others. How to enter the BIOS should be described in the instructions for the laptop. It is sometimes useful to read it.
After entering the BIOS, you need to find where the boot order is configured. Typically these settings are located on the tab Boot, although on your laptop they may be different BIOS menu. To change the boot order, buttons are usually used F5/F6 or a menu with arrows. How to change the boot order should also be indicated in the instructions or in the BIOS.
Install your DVD drive on first place in the boot list, save the settings and exit the BIOS. Usually, to do this you need to find the item in the BIOS Save and Exit Setup.
After saving the settings, the laptop or computer restarts. This is necessary because the new settings are applied at boot, but how can they take effect if the device is already turned on? This is what a reboot is for.
Installing Windows 7
Now we come to the most interesting part: the actual installation of Windows 7.
When booting from the disk, you should see a screen similar to this:
Press any key on the keyboard.
Possible problems: If you are not booting from disk, then first of all you should check whether it is enabled in the BIOS. To do this, you need to enter the BIOS and make sure that the drive is in the boot list optical disks installed in first place. If all the settings there are correct, then it makes sense to check the disk itself to see if it is even possible to boot from it. This can be done on another computer or laptop. If everything works correctly there, you can try burning Windows 7 to another disk. The thing is, sometimes media can be a little scratched, making it difficult to read. If this doesn’t help, then it just makes sense. If the disk with the Windows 7 distribution does not boot on another PC or laptop, then you need to try burning it again or try a different one Windows ISO image 7.
To start the installation, click on the button Install:
Some Windows distributions 7 allow you to manually select the edition of the installed system. It is very important to choose exactly the one indicated on the piece of paper with the serial number:
Directly entering the serial number in Windows 7 has been moved to the end of the installation. Please note that it does not have to be entered directly during installation. This can be done within 30 days in the system properties (Start Menu - Computer - Properties).
Agree with license agreement and continue:
Important Note: currently still exist small problems with update Windows Vista to Windows 7. The installation process may freeze in some cases, and the system itself in this case will not always work stably. For this reason, it is recommended to install Windows 7 from scratch or full installation according to Microsoft terminology.
In the menu that appears, select the item Full installation:
After this you need to choose hard section disk for installing Windows 7:
At this point it makes sense to dwell in more detail, since this is where difficulties often arise.
Often on laptops or computers you can find one or more special hidden sections. Some of them may contain a bootloader, some of them may be intended for system recovery. More details about working with them are described in the material: .
There may also be another 100 megabyte partition on the hard drive, which is usually created by Windows 7. In Windows 8, 8.1 and 10, its size was increased to 350 MB. It is needed to implement the function BitLocker, which allows you to encrypt system partition. This function present in Windows 7 Professional And Windows 7 Ultimate. The operating system loader is written to it. Why is this necessary? It's really simple. If Windows is on an encrypted partition, then in order to boot it, you first need to decode that same partition. That small 100 megabyte partition contains a program that first decrypts the partition with Windows and then loads it. If you wish, you can delete that section. Operations with partitions on a hard drive are described in more detail in the manual: .
At the stage of selecting a partition for installation, there are often cases when the installer asks driver for hard drive or simply does not want to install Windows 7 on a particular partition. In fact, this situation may not be caused by the lack of drivers for the hard drive, but by slightly different reasons. Most common cause such an error is incorrect entry MBR or errors in disk layout. Let's consider this point in more detail.
Very often there is a need to allocate several different partitions with different file systems on a hard drive. It is quite natural that information about where and what partition is located needs to be stored somewhere. To store such information, zero is used hard sector disk. The so-called MBR (Master Boot Record) or main boot record. It contains information about all partitions on the hard drive in the form of a table.
This partition table can hold up to four entries with something like this: start of partition, end of partition, type of partition, and whether the partition is active or not. The beginning and end of a section are essentially the starting and ending sector numbers. The partition type is the number from 0x00 to 0хff in hexadecimal notation. Depending on the type of partition, the system perceives the partition differently. Regular sections with file system NTFS have type 0x07, so-called hidden sections may have this 0x12, 0x27 and so on.
This organization of sections has one drawback. Since there are only four entries, this means that one hard drive can contain up to four so-called primary partitions, or three primary and one extended. In general, everything is clear with the main sections. But what is this extended section? Everything is simple here. These partitions were created to overcome the limitation of four partitions on one hard drive. The so-called extended partition can contain any number of logical ones. If the system tells you that unable to create partition, then this most likely means that the hard drive already has four main partitions, or three main and one logical. It is not possible to create another primary partition.
This is one moment. Second point. IN MBR In addition to the partition table, the bootloader is also stored. It is problems with it that most often cause situations when Windows 7 asks for a driver to install or when Windows does not see the hard drive for installation. In order to solve this problem and still install Windows 7, you need to do the following:
- Launch Command line . To do this, during installation, press simultaneously Shift And F10;
- Enter the command in the window bootrec/fixmbr. This command restores the bootloader;
- Try going into BIOS and switching mode SATA work controller with AHCI on IDE. Something similar needs to be done when installing Windows XP without integration SATA drivers. All this is shown in more detail here;
- If this does not help, then try repartitioning the hard drive using the guide:. Ideally there should be two or three sections. At the beginning of the disk - the main active one for Windows 7 itself and one or more main ones for the rest of the information.
Let's return to installing Windows 7.
Click on below Disk settings and click on Format:
The installer honestly warns us that all data from the partition you are formatting will be deleted:
When formatting is finished, click on the button Next:
We are waiting for the system to install:
When the system is installed, enter the username and laptop name:
Enter the password and hint for it if desired:
Enter serial number, which was mentioned above. If you bought a laptop with Windows 7, then it is printed on a piece of paper on the bottom of the laptop:
These include update settings, Internet Explorer and so on. For most users, it makes sense to select recommended settings that you can later change if necessary.
After this, you need to configure the time, date and time zone:
If your laptop or PC is connected to a network and Windows contains the necessary network card driver, the system will automatically prompt you to specify the network type:
If you have a regular home network with a router (router), then it makes sense to select Home network . If you are connected to a city network or to a Wi-Fi provider, then it makes sense to choose Community Network.
Once the setup is complete, the desktop should appear:
Finding and installing drivers
As a small introduction, I will shed light on what drivers are and how they relate to your laptop and computer. Advanced users They already know this, but it will be useful for beginners. It just so happens that a laptop, computer or any other device consists of many components: a motherboard with many chips, network card, video adapter, sound card and much more. For their smooth and full-fledged operation, drivers are needed that act as a link between a specific chip and the operating system.
Many of them are already included in Windows 7, but their functionality leaves much to be desired; they will not allow you to fully utilize the capabilities of your laptop or computer. In addition, drivers built into the operating system often do not contain utilities for configuring a particular device. If with some network adapter this is not so important, then with a video adapter, sound card Or with the touchpad the situation is more complicated.
For more convenient search necessary drivers and applications, guide pages were created:
- Lenovo:
- Asus:
