    Hi all!

    Perhaps someone here could help me. I Have a Packard Bell TV11CM-64408G1TMnka with AMD Dual Core A6-4400M (7520G + 7670M)

    Similar to this EasyNote TV (TV44CM-64408G50Mnwb) | Product Model

    The Computer came pre-installed with Windows 8, but i wanted Win 7 x64. The Chip is what i can guess A70M, but i cant seem to find a working driver to install Windows. Tried about 10 different now, some the windows installer seems to find as a match, but when i start to load it, it fail after about 20 sec with the warning that it's not compatible. Its driving me slightly insane...

    I have tried IDE mode with the same result. I have no problem finding the disk within bios or with boot hard-drive software, but installing Windows is a no-go. And Packard Bell doesn't even have SATA drivers on the support page.

    Any help is greatly appreciated :)

    If the system came with Windows 8 out of the box, it is 99.9% likely you will not get 7 running because of the issues you describe.
