[Q] Error when installing

Hi!
I try to install win8 to my htc shift. The setup loads after I remove the sdcard from the card reader. But when I start the install It ask for cd/dvd driver... Obviously the shift don't have one. I read somewhere I need to install my disk controller driver, but when I try to install the intel ICH7 drivers It says It can't find new devices. But the setup process sees my hdd because I can browse for the drivers and there I see my drive with the win7 files. This same error happens on two other PC-s. Whats the matter? Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
Zsolt

Use 64bit, I had this problem also till I tried 64bit

Thanks, but i think the shift's processor is only supports 32bit.

having the same problem tried 64 bit, 32 bit and 64 bit developer, all the same

same problem here. Works on other computer with DVD but not with USB for me.

Solved for myself. Installed using DVD rather than USB

[Q] Nvidia Optimus on Windows 8

I have just installed the new Consumer Preview and love it!
However I have a Nvidia 555M graphics card which uses Nvidia Optimus, with out the nvidia drivers installed the graphics card simply runs on full the whole time but windows only sees the intel graphics chip, as such I can't play games well and still have horrible battery life!
So has anyone got the drivers to install/Optimus working right?
If so how?

having the same problem & graphics card,
according to NVIDIA you can just download the latest win7 drivers, works for some, not for all/always
Kind regards, Jonas

edit: make sure you pick the correct bit version, or it will just tell you that it can't find your GPU
edit2: heared rumors about more success without the physx & auto-update; so disable those if you want
eidt3: just to say... working for me now, after several restarts (yesterday it failed after a restart or 2)

Hey,
try rebooting & re-installing the NVIDIA drivers a few times, it should work.
Also make sure you have the correct version of the drivers (x86 for 32-bit & x64 for 64-bit)

I tried installing windows 7 drivers, but it didn't work for my gt555m. Now that release preview is out, is there another way of making Optimus work?

Install the new verde drivers. There availible on the website and there made for windows 8. Stopped all my crashes and slow games. The newest ones also are supposd to have alotta updates for games

Amd Radeon Drivers problem.

Hello XDA,
I have recently installed Windows 8 pro x64 and loving it so far But......
I have a Hp Pavillion with Amd Radeon Hd 6470M. Under 'Device Manager' it is indicated as 7400M with that little 'caution symbol'.
I have tried to update the drivers via the catalyst Program 'v12' for windows 8, but if I try to install it says "catalyst cannot download drivers because of incompatible software bla bla bla. I got another setup from hp.de and I managed to proceed with the installation. During installation the screen flickers a lot 'normal I presume' but after restarting I get a blank screen, lots of flickering and the fun going nuts. I managed to get the catalyst software running through 'run' and uninstalled the newly installed drivers, back to normal!!
Until now the 'caution' symbol is persistent.
Does any one know where to get 3rd party drivers or if you have a solution it will be highly appreciated!!

No third party drivers mate... I had the same problem... My advice is to dual boot your lappy.. I have a DV6 pavilion... Also do not install catalyst manager software... The only thing you can do right now is to update the driver using device manager...

i have a dv7 i tried everything except the obvious and it worked. I downloaded my drivers from hp's support site. Changed the compatability to windows 7 and installed as admin worked great all back to normal.

On my dv6 3006tx the default Windows 7 drivers work well - if you can force the installation of them.
Look for a swsetup folder on your C:\ root. There may be correct drivers within there.
If not, manually download the correct driver's from HP's site. Do NOT use an automatic driver detector. Run the installer, and everything will extract to C:\AMD or something. Then you must install the driver files directly through Device Manager. Right click, update driver software. Try both options. Also try the 'have disk' sub-option, and navigate to the .inf files you find in the directory.
Unfortunately, it's mostly trial and error. The drivers probably will work - but AMD just won't let you install them! If only there were a way to bypass every single OS version check they make...
Also try the generic Windows 8 GPU drivers from AMD's site. You probably won't get switchable graphics, though.

You're welcome.

im also have Hp Pavilion but Amd Radeon 6480G and this drivers works work me good

Windows 10 doesn't support multiple GPUs

Ok so I have an HP pavilion DV7-4825DX which.. after 4 years still is better than most of the Notebooks over there. My laptip comes with two gpus: one is from AMD for advanced graphics and the other one is an Intel gpu with less power but better battery friendly. My PC came with Windows 7 Ultimate out of the box and, obviously everything worked fine. Years later I decided to upgrade to Windows 8 Pro. I did a clean install and everything worked flawlessly. Same happend to W8.1 and W8.1 update 1 (both with clean installs and manually installed drivers). Then Windows 10 was announced.. I had went to the Windows Insider page and converted me to one of then, then i grab the first build.
This is the first time that I upgrade (not clean installed) Windows. The installation went fine but the screen never turned on after the bootscreen (sounds worked, fingerprint scanner worked etc). Rebooted in safe mode and deleted the graphics drivers from both gpus and then it started. I've installed the AMD graphics and they worked, then I installed the Intel ones and woops! Blackscreen again. Deleted everything and installed the Intel drivers first and worked, then I decided to go with the Amd ones and.... black...screen. So i thought which is more productive to keep? And I keep the AMD ones. But some apps or 3D moddeling programs require the intel processor to work and viceversa, so I turned back to 8.1 Update 1. Now that Microsoft released the "Consumer Preview" kind of version of W10 I've installed it...
.
.
.
Black screen.
Then a screen appeared saying that my PC went back to the last OS because the W10 couldn't be installed. So I had deleted the drivers and reinstalled and now is working only with AMD.
End of the story, the conclussion is that Windows 10 doesn't support switchable graphics anymore and I wrote in the feedback section but I think I'm the only one with this problem so please, people, report it too to get it fixed in the next builds.
Thanks!

I believe it has to do with the WDDM signing, and Windows 10 uses a newer one that AMD has not had any drivers released for.
That or because the new build comes with NT 11 kernel.

Actually it comes with nt10 (10 cos of win 10 who'd a known) and I had 10 when it was first released I had a laptop with Intel hd4000 and gtx 750m and both worked out of the box per say I had to do a little tweaking to get progs to play along sounds like a driver issue you looked for amd beta drivers?

it actually does Support it, i have the same problem on a dell vostro ( core i5 with build in gpu and a nvidia)
before install remove all gpu drivers (even the intel drivers) reboot and after it installed the generic drivers for intel turn of internet connection ( DONT let it install any other grapic drivers)
now without internet upgrade to win 10 , after all is done you can connect to internet and manually install your second grapic drivers.
this worked for me , and yes its a pain in the butt.

Install proper sound drivers

no driver worked......i try clean install of windows 7 and use my driver cd but,,there is no sound

So you formatted again and did another install of Windows 7, and it still doesn't show up? Is it onboard audio? Check the BIOS to ensure it's enabled.
Google brings up a lot of results, have you tried looking at them? What does Device Manager show?
If it still doesn't work, the sound card/motherboard if onboard might be dead.

I can't count on two hands how many people, including myself had this upgrade problem. Always audio or video.
Firstly, I'd check to see on the notebook/pc manufacturer website if they have Windows 10 drivers for your model. That's the best place to start.
Some older drivers are getting automatically updated through Windows Update. It seems Microsoft has encouraged some key driver updates. E.g. Intel integrated graphics.
Lastly, uninstall the driver, reboot your computer, now, install the driver again under compatibility mode for the version of Windows you have.
For audio, compatibility mode worked. Get this. My notebook came with Windows 7. The Windows 7 driver works (after about 20 attempts) but the Windows 8 driver doesn't. My understanding is that Windows 8 drivers are a bit more compatible with 10 than 7. But the 7 driver actually worked better.
Let us know how you get on.
