  1. Disable Driver Updates during online Clean Windows install


    How can I disable driver updates during a clean windows install?

    From what I can tell it starts doing driver updates in the background right around where you enter your microsoft credentials and I've been able to confirm it is forcing me to take a bad driver that corrupts the install this was confirmed through an offline install and I can't start windows after that happens. I get a page fault in unpaged area error and cannot start windows or restart it.

    I need to be able to disable a driver update as the online clean install is happening. I've googled and have not been able to find it.

    I do have a support ticket opened and waiting for a call back from the eschalation team but they've missed their time by 4 hours now. :


    Thanks if you have the answer.

    :)

    Step 3

    Step 4

    Step 5

    Clean Install Workaround for Vista

    You may remember this news story on techPowerUp! a couple of days ago relating to the lack of clean installs when using the Upgrade Editions of Vista, which required an old OS to be installed. However, Paul Thurrott has managed to find a workaround for this issue, which ironically lets users do a clean install Vista without any previous version of Windows, albeit a little tedious. Here are the steps:
    • Boot from the Windows Vista Upgrade DVD as normal
    • When prompted for a product code, leave this blank
    • Select the version of Vista you have purchased and let Vista install
    • When you boot to your desktop for the first time, run the Vista setup from Windows
    • This time enter your product key
    • When asked whether you want to do an Upgrade of Custom install, select custom and choose a clean install
    • Windows will now install for a second time and you should be able to activate it
    Remember, these steps are only advised for use in order to achieve a clean install of Vista, it is only legal to use the upgrade editions if you have previously purchased the appropriate version of Windows.
