I have a laptop that is past its warranty from toshiba. Very shortly after its warranty expired, got turned on and at the boot menu gave a warning that I needed to insert the vista dvd and use the repair function. I couldnt find the dvd that came with it, so i went out and got a new copy. I did a fresh reinstall, but got an error saying windows was unable to reboot during installation, aborting installation. I formatted, and got another random error, so I went for a third time and it installed fine. However at the reboot to use windows for the first time it gave an error HAL.dll is missing. Who the heck is HAL, and where do I find this punk? More importantly when I find him, where do I put him because I cannot get into windows at all, even in safe mode.
I installed Vista a while back, on a system pretty much formatted this way:
partition 1: linux partition 2: XP partition 3: linux swap partition 4: extended { partition 5: linux home partition 6: linux usr partition 7: Vista
This worked fine. Perfectly, in fact, and I was really pleased with how smooth the Vista install went. I noticed that Vista installed its bootloader on partition 2. Since I was going to trash XP at some point, I figured I would cross this bridge when I got to it. I got to that bridge last night. It was time to install a different flavour of linux, and trash XP. But nothing's ever easy... I reinstalled linux so that things look more like:.........
I had Vista Ultimate x64 installed on my machines, and wanted to install the x86. But, when I tried to install the x86 after deleting the x64 version, I now get an error that says that "Windows is unable to find a system volume that meets its criteria for installation." I have reformatted the drive and all else that I can think of, but, it it continues to throw the error message. What should I do? I am sure that my system and hardware is sufficient to handle the Vista install, and I am trying to install to the same drive that I had the other installed to: Processor 2.00 gigahertz AMD 64 Opteron's (2 installed)
after installing vista the setup completes and a reboot is necessary so when windows is "starting for the first time" i sit there for about 5min then it loads winbeta again with an error message "setup is unable to start the installation" after it auto reboots winbeta now loads each time with an error that the computer was rebooted or that setup encountered an error and you must start over.
im running a dell 531 amd 64x processor 2gig stick of ram (removed 6gigs for the install) and a gt9800 graphics card no other sound cards or devices connected to the computer. i have tried to install 8 times now its getting very old!
I am unable to send email. Using Vista. Have emptied outbox as suggested in other posts. Outbox was emptied without difficulty, sent to drafts, then deleted. Created new email - tried to send - still couldn't. Error message - unable to connect to smpt server. Have gone to tols - accounts - servers - re-entered info.
I am trying to clean install Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit. If you read my other post, I got around the blue screen about page in non paged area. I got the bad ram stick out and got a new one for my computer. (Toshiba Satillite). And I install it and it goes good until completing installation then it hangs.
I have Ultimate 32 bit that can't be upgraded to 64 bit because it is OEM. Can I leave it installed on one partition and then install Vista Business 64 bit on another partition, running both versions on the same PC? I already have the 64 bit Business which is why I'm asking.
I have a PC which came with Vista Home Premium 32 and I have an upgrade set with both 32 and 64 Ultimate. If I do a clean install of the 64 will I have a problem with activation, I have already activated the 32 install but would format first.
I am currently using Window Vista 32 Home Premium.However,I discovered that certain of my hardware do not have it installer or certain of my program cannot run in Vista,as such,I decided to use back my Winow XP pro.But after insert my Win XP PRO disc and restart my computer,it prompt me something like your "computer is facing some problem which may damaged your computer and need to be shut down". how to reinstalled my WIN XP PRO while my current OS is WIN VISTA HOME PREMIUM 32bit.
When I try to install the full Vista SP1 package, I get an error message that the installation failed because "the server returned a referral." I'm a home user not connected to a server so I don't know what this means.
My PC came with Vista Home Premium 32bit. Since SP1 was released, I've tried several times to install it both through Windows Update and manually but it always fails.I looked at the information in the nowledgebase article about the error message I was getting and it suggested running a system scan utility through the command line interface which I did. The utility said that it fixed some files but I had corrupted files that it was not able to repair.I went out and bought an upgrade version of Vista Home Premium that contained SP1 thinking I could just upgrade it as a workaround. No dice,the upgrade option is disabled unless you already have SP1 installed. It will only let me do a clean install.This brings me to my first question. If I do the clean install, it's going to format my HD right? I'll have to reinstall all my software? My second question is, does anybody know how I can get SP1 to install on my current installation? Any way to find and repair those supposedly corrupt files?

I have a gateway barebone with P4 @2.8 motherboard and will get a HDD and some ram. I already have a dell computer with windows Vista on it, and extra vista dvd that says (for installation only with new Dell PC). If I install it on the GATEWAY computer with the new HDD will I have any problems?
I have just installed Windows Vista, updated to SP1 and put in my FSX Deluxe DVD and the following error message appears: "Error reading initialization file" How do I bypass this to be able to install FSX?
Running Vista Home Premium with an NVidia 8800 GTX video card. Have SP1 installed but do not have Acceleration. Trying to install SP2 but it won't install. I first tried clicking "Run", and then also tried downloading the patch to the desktop and then running, but it simply will not install...just cancels itself. I disabled McAfee VS before trying to install, but results still the same. Anyone else having this problem? Any ideas how to get this to work? I looked on this board and MS site, and so far have found no other mentions of this problem.
I Just got a new computer and upon first turning it on my daughter accidentally hit the button on my power strip turning the computer off mid-installation. Now when I turn on my computer it looks as if windows is trying to start but goes to a message stating "Windows could not complete the installation. To install windows on this computer, restart the installation." I then click "OK" and it just brings me back to the same message after re-starting. Could anyone please help me get this thing back on track?
I had been running Vista since it came out last year with no compatible issues at all. However, there were several issues with performance and finally late last year I gave up and went back to XP. Now that the SP1 is available, I want to go back and install Vista, but for some reason, my computer won't recognize the disc. It trys, but just can't load it. I've tried other DVDs and have burned a couple and they all work fine. For whatever reason, the problem is with the Vista DVD.
I just found these forums and now hope that you may be able to help me out with a very perculiar problem I'm having.I use Windows Vista, and have done so without any major problem. That is, until now.Whenever I try to install a software from a CD/DvD or a downloaded file, it will give me an error. If I use a downloaded setup program, it tells me the file is corrupt. It does so with every file, even ones I've had no problems with before. The same happens when I try to install through my DvD Drive. It tells me that it cannot read the installation right away.This problem occured only a week ago, when my hard drive suddenly went defect. I turned off my computer and went away from a good six hours, came back, and then my hard drive had apparently died in the meantime. I sent it to get it repaired, and it was determined that the hard drive was defect, and they had given me a new one. Alright, awesome. I install Windows Vista without problems (except some error I can't remember when it tried to update Vista during the installation, That is when I got the before-mentioned problem about installing software. I had no issues installing the drivers needed for my motherboard's network card. But anything else turns out to give me some kind of error.I have never seen anything like this, and cannot possibly begin to determine what's wrong. It happened also when I put in a different hard drive as the boot device before I sent the computer in to be repaired, so I'm quite positive that it's the machine, and not Windows Vista. I somehow suspect my motherboard to have been affected by the hard drive that suddenly went defect.
I just bought parts for a new computer, today i finished putting together, now when I try to install Vista, it hangs at the 'loading files....' screen. I've tried installing XP Pro too, and it gives me a STOP C0000221' Unknown Hard Error' after it copies all the files, and tries to start the installation.
I am running Windows XP media center edition and have just bought an upgrade DVD to Vista. I have 2 DVD players on my machine but neither of them run the DVD. The only file that appears visible is a readme file and that says "This disc contains a "UDF" file system and requires an operating system that supports the ISO-13346 "UDF" file system specification."
When I boot from the DVD drive with the Vista DVD in it it starts the installation but the product key I have only allows for an upgrade and tells me I have to launch it from my current operating system. I am tearing my hair out at this stage.
I have a new motherboard (abit nh-m2sv), X2 +3800 processor, 2 gig pc4200 memory ATI graphics, DVD RW, Maxtor SATA drive, all are suppose to be Vista ready, but vista either won't install, or installs with BSOD's then will only run in Safe Mode. I have tried Home Basic and premium, the same issue, I install my old faitful XP and it goes straight in. I have run memtest, all fine, I have removed the gfx card, no change, I have tried an IDE hdd rather than a SATA no change.
Open it by ultraISO then extract it in a new folder in your desktop n then run the setup.exe wait until they do there job hahaaa... its working for me after the installation complete. 100% u can see 3.5gb change to 4gb
I have Home Premium SP1 on a Dell Dimension 9200 machine. I downloaded SP2 from Windows Update and during installation, the process freezes with the following message: !!OXCO190036!! 279614590 (WAB32.DLL). The middle set of digits changes everytime I try to reinstall SP2.
I did not deactivate my antivirus program before installing but I did use the Vista Update Readiness Tool to no avail. Now I know the "wab" file refers to an adress book in Windows. I don't use Windows Mail but Mozilla Thunderbird. Could this be causing me this problem?
I purchased a new computer that came with Vista Home Premium pre-installed. I purchased the Any Time Upgrade for Vista Ultimate. MS had to mail me the Any Time Disc, which is taking a long time coming. I haven't installed any software, including my anti virus, thinking it would be best to do the system upgrade first. Is this correct, or can I just go ahead and load the other software (Office 2007, QuickBooks 2008) and Trend Micro Internet Security?
I have 4GB RAM, Intel Q6600, 3xHD in RAID 5 and installed 32-bit Windows XP SP2. I tried some times to upgrade this to 32-bit Vista across this RAID5 but without success. Upgrade already crashed in the last step "Complet upgrade", PC was restarted and upgrade was rolled back to Windows XP. Can me sombody tell why?
