>TWO installations of windows on the same drive
but why?
Daniel Evans
>be on windows 7, "upgrade" to 8
>be dipshit and fall for wankers 10 meme, get it for "free"
>graphics driver hangs half the time, random freezes, ect
>try to install windows 7 again and get pic related
I don't want to wipe the drive since I have over 100GB of media on it
Lucas Martinez
just fix your windows 10 installation, retard
Benjamin Harris
Aren't you following? He is trying to fix it by upgrading back to 7
Jason Roberts
its the same botnet as windows 10
if you're going to surrender your freedoms to a corporation in exchange for garbage software you might as well use the newest bullshit
Ryan Phillips
Jesus Christ. I knew there are retards on Jow Forums, but wtf. Can't even install drivers, can't install windows properly, can't move media to other drives. It's fucking Windows!!! This is toddler level easy. M8 kys.
John King
unplug all other hdd/ssd on your pc.
Then install it.
Dominic Brown
Already tried updating on a weekly basis, installing old AND new graphics drivers after using DDU, cortana won't fucking leave me alone, and there's always high disk usage going on 90% of the time. I just wanna go back to when things were simple and didn't want to make me blow my head off.
At this point it essentially is.
I don't even care about the botnet desu, I just want a working functional computer again.

SHIFT F10 to open command prompt and use diskpart do convert disk, or boot via uefi
shit head.
Jacob Baker
I only gots 1, it's a laptop
Jackson Mitchell
>SHIFT F10 to open command prompt and use diskpart do convert disk
this will make your disk unreadable btw
Dylan Martinez
I was thinking of doing that but doesn't this nuke the drive?
Sebastian Jackson
I knew it, I even felt my balls shrink when I thought of doing this.
Juan Barnes
you need to make a windows7 usb drive that boot from uefi or you need to fix your windows10
Christopher Perry
I don't know I have never got myself backed into a corner like that before.
just boot the windows 7 disk via uefi and it will install fine.
Parker Bennett
delete windows 10 without nuking my media. Already made bootable 7 usb with rufus.
No can do compadre, only got 1 HDD onboard the laptop.
I should have listened Jow Forums, there was literally NOTHING wrong with the windows 7 I had.
Ethan Rogers
you are an idiot my friend
we are telling you to make a UEFI (this is important) windows 7 usb stick
Christopher Bailey
There is nothing wrong with GPT. You need to boot the install disc in UEFI mode. Disable legacy MBR booting in the motherboard settings and try again faggot. If your board is still MBR, then you are a retard for wanting to boot GPT disks.
Carter Lopez
I think I did tho...
wut do then?
Andrew Hughes
99.999% chance you didn't because the standard .iso doesn't contain EFI
Liam Brooks
make sure the USB stick is formatted GPT
make sure you selected UEFI when putting the Windows installer on it
make sure your motherboard is UEFI and not BIOS
make sure MBR booting is disabled in your motherboard settings
Not rocket science.
Lucas Foster
>not creating the boot drive with Rufus
it has option for both uefi and bios
Christopher Watson
gonna try
Jayden Roberts
>Windows 7 in 2019
Time to upgrade grandpa
Blake Rodriguez
see You can keep your dumb zoomer piece of shit OS to yourself, I just want my computer to work again.
Cameron King
you can install windows 7 on gpt drives though
Hunter Howard
apparently I fucked that up I think, rufus might have thought chosen MBR partition scheme for max compatibility. I never checked desu.
Gabriel Harris
just read the rest of the thread and saw that, good luck user

OP BTFO
Logan Wilson
Just F8 or F10 into the boot menu and you will have an obvious option to boot the disk UEFI, if you have some bullshit pirate auto activating iso with updates slip streamed in then they probably didn't make the disk bootable via UEFI.
Owen Young
i have never ever had a issue with windows ever.
vista 7 and win 10 ltsb have never given me issues
what am i doing wrong? why do so many people have issues and i dont
Joshua Moore
Ah man, I figured it out Jow Forumsoys: windows 7 install iso is 32-bit and UEFI is 64-bit. FML
Probably hardware, compatibility will never be 100% good everywhere no matter what.
Juan Perry
Thank you to everyone for trying to help though, there's a 32-bit efi sitting on my iso but all my os "upgrades" made my computer gay.
Oliver Taylor
Its been 6 fucking years and you still dont understand fucking GPT? Holy shit you're retarded
Chase Edwards
>Its been 6 fucking years
?
Anthony Perry
Since windows 8 launched and gpt windows install was the default option on every new prebuilt.
Zachary Cruz
Nah I totally get it m8, rufus didn't enable it by default and with very good reason: I no have 64-butt efi :(
Dylan Sanchez
>I no have 64-butt efi :(
Then who was Windows partition install? You're using an HDD from another computer?
Because you can uefi install 7 you know.
Nathaniel Jenkins
Flash drive and windows 7 iso is 32-bit with ntfs system. UEFI tells me to fuck off immediately if I try 32-bit.
Justin Nguyen
*CREAK*
Christopher Stewart
Well, just format to fat32 and get the 64bit iso, move the required files for uefi install, BAM, you got your frash drive working.
Liam Adams
Yeah I guess so. Wish I wasn't such a mong, life is so excruciatingly difficult when you're as dumb as me.
Easton Collins
macs were using GPT well before windows, GPT is much older than 2012, or even 2006 when apple started using it, GPT was part of EFI, which was deprecated in 2005
Adrian Kelly
Did you missed the part about "gpt windows"?
No one care about mac implementation neither is relevant to the thread.
Nathaniel Miller
the GPT used in windows and macos is the same thing
and you said "gpt windows" /after/ saying "6 years"
Alexander Edwards
> Fuck Windows
ftfy
Nathan Brooks
loonix wine left a bad taste in my mouth and I'm too dumb to use the terminal for everyday tasks normally done on a gooey.
Leo Brooks
Yes, and? We talking about windows here, what's so hard to understand autismo?
Andrew Taylor
>"Fuck GPT"
>"we're talking specifically about windows!"
Cooper Sanders
>"Fuck GPT"
Who are you quoting? That's not a thing of what I've replied here, is your reading comprehension so low user?
Joseph Young
OP is a moron and he realized that halfway through the thread. He was just missing the 64-bit efi thingie.
Parker Cox
He actually might be dumber than OP lmao.
Parker Smith
>Who are you quoting?
Eli Morgan
OP here: I'm actually starting to feel better about myself now. It's somewhat reassuring to know that I'm not the village idiot.
Nolan Evans
Bitch I don't care about your experience in loonix, I'm just pointing out that windows sucks in partitioning drive
Kevin Cruz
welcome to Jow Forums - doing it's part to make anybody feel like a computer expert
Aiden Jenkins
Nah, it's all GPT now but it would have been nice if 64-bit UEFI had backwards compatibility with 32-bit OSs. I could be wrong tho.
Landon James
>friend streamed himself building a PC
>he put the CPU on the cooler first then tried to put the whole thing on the socket
>the lever was down so there was no way the CPU was going in
>by the time he realized his mistake, it was too late (pic)
And then he sent it back to amazon and they actually gave him a refund.
Ryder Bailey
You mean since W7 launched in 2007.
Hudson Richardson
>He doesn't understand greentext

Dylan Garcia
What a fucking idiot. He shouldn't try too many times. They watch for that shit.
