:huh:Hi everyone!! I use VMWare to try out Build 7595 and when I try to set it up it works fine until I get to the page where it asks which OS I would like to install, the space where it should be listed is blank. I'm using a DVD-RW which I burned the download from digitex link. If I skip it I get the cancelled window. I posted the scvreenshots; any ideas as to what's wrong??

Have you a DVD-R blank disc instead of DVD-RW that you could burn? Or maybe try a 4 gig USB thumb drive.

:huh: Why do you need to burn a DVD when you can install the OS directly from the ISO ?

~edit~

The build number isn't 7595, it's 7955 :ninja:

Also try Oracle VirtualBox instead of VMWARE :)

Well I have the USB drive but it says 4GB and the ISO* file is larger by .32GB don't think it will fit. I'll try VirtualBox and
see. Also I created a partition for it but wqhen I try to install it says I can't because the partition may be dynamic ...I've tried installing on "unallocated space" and "New Volume" and it's the same thing...I'm stuck. The ISO* file is on my desktop and I waant to install it on my laptop, how would I go about moving it?

Correct .iso size for Build 7955 should be 2.594gb which is much less than a 4gb flash drive. You may have a corrupted download.

I just don't get it....with the 7 builds I had no problem at all. This one for some strange reason I can't seem to get going. maybe I'll wait for the Beta builds or the Release Candidate. Another thing I've noticed is the build is only 64 bit so if I get it running I have to use my new laptop cause my desktop is 32 bit. I thought since my CPU is an Athlon 64x2 +3800 that i could switch back and forth between 32 and 64 bit which I guess is impossible.

Here is a snip of my B-7955. It is x86 (32 bit) ? Not sure what you have.

@Davy83
The build is 7955 x86 or 7959 x64 ?
Anyways, like DocBrown said, your ISO must be corrupted :huh:

ISO Size for build 7959 x64

Your ISO size seems to be correct and surely fits on a 4GB flashdrive.

Yes that is the win8 Build 7959 x64 (64 bit) Windows 2008 R2 Server build

win8_B7959_serverx64_iso_snip.JPG


This will probably run on your 64 bit laptop if you partition you HD & dual boot with you current laptop. But it will not dual boot on your desktop that is 32bit, with it's own partition, since it is 64 bit

Okay I have it on aa 4GB flash drive, now I want to create a partition to test it on; should it be unallocated space or a simple volume? i tried both before and it says I cannot install to that volume because it's a dynamic volume or something like that...

Davy. Have a look at this tutorial from SevenForums. Make sure that you read and understand what you are doing. You can very easy trash your win7 install if you do something by mistake. Be sure you select the correct partition to work on.

I've created partitions before and installed Win 7 builds with no problem. could it be cause it's a server build, instead of a regular ol' build??

Tried on VMWare and VirtualBox...no go, tried booting from a USB drive and booting from a disc...still no joy. I give up and guess i'll wait and try the Release Candidate when it arrives...

You may have a dynamic disk.

Have you created more than 4 partitions?

Have a look in disk mananement and see if it says dynamic.

If it does - you may want to change it back to basic.

Yes It has four partitions, though I didn't create them; they came already made although I don't know if I could erase them. Of course there's the C: and Recovery partitions but there's two more one says SYSTEM 199MB and another says HP Tools 103MB. My laptop is a Compaq Presario CQ-56 115DX. Can I delete these partitions?

The 199mb & the 103mb tools would not give you enough to install win8. The 199mb is used as a boot section for your win7 OS. The other is for HP Tools. You would probably be better off getting a second destop HD for a test install of win8 :D
