I have built new PC ( mb: asus M5A78L-mlx Plus,cpu: AMD 2 x 260,4GB Ram AM3,1TB HDD) Trying to install windows 7 Pro 64 bit and i get this error saying "Windows cannot install required files.Make sure all files required for installation are available ,and restart the installation." when the file are expanding.(0%).I have already changed the hdd, replaced dvd rom ,disable usb in bios,changed sata cable,removed the batt on MB and still no luck so far.
I am installing Windows 7 (Custom installation initiated from Windows XP) but I get the following error message when the installation is on the "Installing updates" step of the installation:
"Setup cannot continue due to a corrupted installation file. Contact the vendor of your Windows installation disc or your system administrator for assistance."
Do you have any idea what the problem may be with the installation? Is there a way to see what file that may be corrupted?
I have tried to burn the DVD in low speed, but the error appears anyway. I have a MSI K8T Neo2-Fir mainboard and the Windows 7 upgrade advisor application says that my hardware is okay for upgrading.
I have tried to install Windows 7 SP1 64 bit and it gave an error message of: windows update encountered an unknown error code 80246007. I also get the error message after my laptop restarts if the installation shows it supposedly installed: installation not successful an uknown error has occured Error 0x8008095. I have also tried the 3 steps to try before installing Windows 7 SP1 and I still get the above errors.I would like to know the following:
1. When we update Windows where does it store the updates. Because I noticed that each time I update I loose disk space and I am wondering if I could delete these updates once I know they work.
2. I noticed a folder in the color of purple. It is: c:userusernameApp Datalocalmigwiz in this folder it contains the following files: debug.txt, diagerrr.xml, diagwrn.xml, miglog.xml, setupact.txt, setuper.txt what is the folder for.
3.I use windows disk cleanup and ccleaner. I noticed that when you install or uninstall programs it creates a restore point and shadow copies. I clean them out once a month. Is there anywhere else that shadow copies are created and can be deleted. How about does Windows 7 has a cache where we need to delete files. How many temp folders does windows 7 create. I would like to retain some disk space back. Do you know if Office 2010 where it stores it updates and can we delete them once we know they work.
I've just installed Windows 7 on top of my old XP machine. For the first hour I had no problems connecting to the internet. I downloaded antivirus protection (AVG) and Comodo firewall and windows 7 began updating itself. The comodo firewall download stalled and I had to manually reboot the computer. It seemed to start fine in normal mode and windows finished updating itself. Since then however (i.e. after the reboot) I have not been able to access the internet with an 'error 651" message displaying. I removed both AVD and Comodo with no change in the situation. I also did a system restore to before the windows updates, still no luck.
I access the internet via a broadband modem connected to a router. I don't have the full details of the models with me now but can repost in about five hours with the details if needed. I've searched online and note that many have said I should replace the raspppoe.sys file.
Since this is a brand new instal, should I just re-install Windows 7?
i've created another topic related to a BSOD . Anyways i've decided to format my OS so i did . But an error showed up , i'll tell you exactly what it said : Failed to create a new partition on the selected unused space.[Error:0x8004240f].That's what it said . I don't know what caused it but after i deleted that partition , i couldn't just make a new one it kept giving me this error
i have a hcl inffosystems cpu with 2gb RAM, a hitachi hds728080pla380 80gb hard drive, and it used to operate with win xp. while trying to custom install windows 7, the xp files were all deleted. However, the installation process stopped short and on restarting, the installation menu does not install into the hdd saying " the hardware may not support booting to this system." I've formatted the disk using diskpart on cmdprompt, partitioned it into an ntfs volume. it's still not accepted. the microsoft website says: "This problem occurs because Windows Vista cannot distinguish between ambiguous hard disks. In versions of Microsoft Windows Setup that are earlier than Windows Vista Setup, hard disks are marked with distinct values to distinguish them.owever,this method of distinguishing hard disks is no longer supported because of the potential for data corruption on hard disks. follow these steps: Create one or more partitions on all the hard disks that are not initialized. Restart the computer.Install Windows Vista."i only have two hdds, and i have tried everything i can think off in diskpart.
After all the steps been the first time, after it reboots it saysWindows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:1. Insert your windows installation disc and restart your computer.2. Choose your language settings, and then click next.3. Click repair your computer.If you do not have this disc, contact your system administrator or computer anufacturer for assistance.
I'm using a IBM Thinkpad T42p laptop which was originally running Windows XP. My friend gave me bootable Windows 7 USB stick which he had used to successfully install Windows 7 on his laptop which is the same as mines (we're using school laptops) whenever I run the setup the laptop always abruptly restarts during the "Completing Installation" process and I get an error message saying "The computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error. Windows installation cannot proceed.
Just decided to upgrade from SP3 to 7 today, downloaded, burned and now when i boot from disk. windows loads then an error pops up saying"Windows failed to load because a critical , missing, or corrupt""windowssystem32driverstfs.sys"
I am trying to install the software where I can be able to read the minidump files after the BSOD. I found info from google and downloaded Windows Development Kits 7.1 for Windows 7 Pro x64. After I have complete the installation including debugging tools.Now when I run the windbg.exe program, I receive a "windbg.exe - bad image error" saying:"C:Program filesDebugging Tools for Windows (x64)dbghelp.dll is either not designed to run on windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support."I did uninstall then reinstall the software but receiving same errors.

I have 8 ram slots with one gig sticks in each which gives me 8 gigs of ram, Which my computer uses completely. I recently purchased 8 more gigs on two sticks, but when I install them it gives me a memory mismatch error, but it stills starts up. When I go to my computer properties menu it says 14 gigs ram (4 usable). Like I said there are 8 slots, 4 with white push tabs, 4 with black push tabs. I tried multiple combinations with the ram. Sometimes the computer would beep and not Start, others it would start up but still give me the mismatch errors. Need to update BIOS, Which I did. I have to change my BIOS settings to "Enable dynamic memory remap", but the problem is that I can't get into my BIOS. For some reason windows 7 isn't giving me a BIOS option (DEL) on the POST screen. It only gives me the option of going into system settings F2 or Boot menu F12. I tried ESC F1-F12 DEL END...to no avail.

i have sony vaio laptop with windows 7 home edition now i want to install windows 7 pro in my laptop.i have the ISO of win pro, because my CD drive not working i m trying to install from the USB .. windows setup started but it shows error when i click "Install Now""No device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click ok"That message gives me 3 buttons: ok, cancel and browse, neither of OK and CANCEL would let me through the install, and with browse.
I recently bought a refurbished Hp m6-1035dx, with OEM windows home premium 64bit.Additionally I also purchased a Samsung 830 SSD and and Optical Bay Caddy. My plan is to install the SSD in the Main Drive Bay and tranfer the current stock hitachi HDD into the Optic Bay. I was considering cloning my OS to the SSD, but decided to go for a fresh install of Windows 7 instead, considering my current OS files take up 40gb (which seems like a lot to me). So considering I have an OEM Windows 7 I opted to try the USB installation, using the guide provided on this forum. Everything was going well until I received the Device Driver error message "A required CD/DVD device driver is missing...etc" which is followed by the option to browse for the device driver. I have read numerous forums on this issue and none of the solutions have worked for me. For example I have tried switching the USB ports, I have actually tried all my USB ports, with no success. Some forums suggest I load the SATA/RAID drivers into my USB and then select those through the browse option. I have no tried this yet, as I have thus far been unsuccessful in locating these drivers. My next move was to burn the ISO onto a disc instead.
I have a Samsung series 9 (NP9004XC) and I am upgrading the 128gb SSD that came with the computer to a Crucial M4 256GB mSATA. I am doing a clean install from a bootable USB that I created from the recovery disc that was included with the computer.I can load up setup but once I get to the part where I choose what disk I want to install it to I get an error. There is only one disk listed (Disk 0, Partition 1) and when I try to select that disk to install Windows to I get the error:"Windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk's controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu."
i have a MSI A6000 Laptop. Ive been trying to fix this problem for 2 day with 12 hours time and read countless forums but still haven't been able to solve it.
I recently encountered windows 7x64 installation error, where i could not select disk partition to install. ( i formatted and deleted all of the partitions for a clean install). But somehow after running the memory diagnosis i was able to go through the installation. But during the installation on the second time it restarts, my computer gets a black screen when starting.
i cannot access the post screen menu or the recovery option( it is however possible to access the same thing via booting through the USB and selecting the recovery option instead of installing). Also the memory diagnosis tool does not work any more giving an error. The bios options are as follows:
MAIN : Serial ATA [Hard Disk] Serial ATA [ATAPI CDROM] Advanced: PCI Latency timer [64] Legacy USB support [enabled] AHCI Mode [endabled]
A while ago i dual booted windows 7 onto my vista running laptop and it works perfectly. It is a huge improvement on vista, it is faster, better designed and its new features are very useful. Because of this success I know am trying to dual boot it onto my xp running desktop. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to like it.
I have used the same technique that i did on my laptop to install it. I have burnt the iso file onto a disk and run that disk while the computer is running. Checked for online updates and done a clean install. The installation works fine and quite quickly until it comes to the first restart. It restarts and I select "windows setup" on the bios screen as apposed to "an earlier version of windows" which is my xp partition.
It then changes to the starting windows screen that happens just like on my laptop, except the windows logo never materializes and it stays as a black screen with the words "starting windows" on it. i have left the computer on overnight and no change. I have tried reinstalling several times with no luck, both using the same method as before and booting from the disk at startup. Although when I boot from the disk it just skips straight to the same frozen windows startup screen.
I have downloaded the windows 7 adviser software but the program cant seem to make its mind up. Sometimes it announces that my graphics card cant run windows 7 aero and sometimes its fine. I have checked the windows 7 specs and my graphics card appears to meet all the requirements, both dedicated memory and direct x 9 support.
Here are my pc specs: Dell dimension 5150 XP professional sp3 3ghz intel pentium 4 5 gb RAM Radeon x300 SE 128mb hypermemory direct x 9.0 creative SB live! 24-bit 160gb maxator SATA HDD
I have this problem with my Toshiba laptop: Several days ago my com crashed, when I started my computer on the very beginning on start up screen when it says windows is starting I get a 1 second blue screen with some saying and my laptop restarts by it self. So, ok I have Windows 7 Ultimate installation dvd and i tried to install it,everything goes well untill on the second line of the very beginning of windows installation 98% I get this message Error Code: 0x80070570.
I've read some forums people were saying that this could be a RAM problem,so,ok my toshiba have 2 RAMS x 2 Gb..so i taken out 1 tried to install-same error, put in another slot-same error,replaced and putted my other Ram Memory in the slots same again. So,is there any solution how to fix this?i can see in bios that bios is reading my HDD,not sure if its working,does that mean that if BIOS is recognizing my Laptops HDD that works 100%?
I am doing a fresh install on a new system. I followed the directions to use Audit Node to create accounts on another disk. When I entered the commend Sysprep.exe /audit /reboot /unattend:C: elocate.xml i recieved the following error message: "System Preparation Tool 3.14 Windows could not parse or process unattend answer file [c:elocate.xml]. The answer file is invalid.Can anyone assist?
We took his computer back to factorysettings however when the system is trying to install Windows 7 we keep getting an error: Windows could not complete the installation. To install windows on this computer, restart the installation.How would I do that? I have tried safe mode but it won't let you install in safe mode, when shutting off the system or restartingit always gets to setup is starting services page and then the error message.
I attempted to install Windows 7 x64 RC version on my new desktop, and about 20 minutes into the "Complete Installation" section my computer crashed for a reason of which I'm not aware (I saw a blue screen with writing for about a second or two before my computer restarted). I now get the following error after windows attempts to "start services":
"Install Windows. The computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error. Windows installation cannot proceed. To install Windows, click "OK" to restart the computer, and then restart the installation".
I've now clicked "OK" about 10 times, with my computer restarting properly each time, and the same error pops up every time.
MS Office 2007 Professional will not install. It does not get past the splash screen 'Setup is preparing the necessary files', but hangs. The summary error message in Event Viewer is as follows:
The device, DeviceCDRom0, has a bad block.
The program installed quite happily on my old Windows XP Pro computer, and the DVD drive is able to read other installation discs, so it doesn't seem to be a hardware problem.
Recently I went to restore my netbook-Acer Aspire One Happy 2. Well I clicked save user data to C: drive, for me a first time user of a netbook...didn't know that if I clicked that and was using a different windows 7 edition from the OEM. That a different windows 7 edition data couldn't be saved. Now, whenever I boot up my netbook, windows will try to install on my computer but gives error:
Error message: Windows couldn't complete installation. To install windows, restart the installation.

I have been encountering this same error code in one of my machines. I get the Error Code: 0x8007050 during installation of Win 7 Ultimate 64 Bit. It occurs during the expansion of files phase, during instalation, with the message "Windows cannot install the required files. Make sure the required files are available..."
Machine Specs: Intel DP43TF MB Intel Quad Core 8300 CPU 4GB OCZ ATI DDR2 RAM Antec 500 Watt PSU Hitachi HDS725050 KLA360 HD and later a Seagate ST3640323AS HD.
In previous installations of Win 7, I've observed that about 29MB are copied to the System Reserved partition. In this scenario, only 11MB are copied. I've performed the following trouble shooting in order:
- Changed out the DVD drive. Tried installation again without success. - Performed factory system restore on the hard drive. Tried installation again without success. - Replaced the hard drive with a new one. Tried installation again without success. - Removed all PCI cards, and tried again with just the PCI-E video card. Tried installation again without success. - Replaced the PCI-E video card with a PCI card. Tried installation again without success. - Cloned the "System Reserved" partition from another PC with a functioning install of the same OS. Tried installation again without success.
It should be noted that this specific machine was previously running Win 7 Ultimate 64 Bit. I was simply attempting to upgrade the hard drive. I've also tried to install Win 7 Home and Win 7 Pro, all with the exact same error code, which occurs during the same phase of installation. I also tried to perform an Upgrade install. The machine accepted a complete install of Win Vista Ultimate 64 bit (twice), but had the same error codes appear during the Upgrade install to Win 7 Ultimate 64 Bit. I reformatted and reinstalled same Vista 64 bit OS. I tried to install Win 7 Pro 64 Bit, and again encountered the same error codes. Incidentally, I have used 3 different Retail Win 7 install media. The machine passes all MemTest and CPU diagnostics.
So I'm trying to install Windows 7 on my notebook through a USB boot but I keep getting the Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition. error no matter what I try. My notebook has no CD/DVD drive so I've been using a USB flash drive boot which I created using bootcamp on my macbook pro.
Here is are screenshots of where I'm stuck, disk part and details of disk 0 (HDD):
My notebook has no OS now so I'd really like to get this fixed!

I was trying to install the automatic win7 updates and in the 'important' update was ie9. I clicked on 'install updates' and windows started installing ie9. After a couple of seconds I got this window saying:: "Some files that need to be updated are currently being used by these programs. Please save your work, close the programs and then continue. If you can't close, setup can do it for you."

That's the list of programs that need to be closed. Obvious, I cancelled. Why do I need to close almost everything for installing a browser?
i am receiving error 0x80070570 at "expanding files" in the windows 7 installation at around 30% into it. Its an attempt to install windows 7 via boot-able usb flash drive.now something i should mention is that this is a completely new built computer, i built it a couple of days ago[CODE]
