Upgrade Fails At 66%
I want to test out W7 so badly but I can't get the install to get past 66% in it's final phase.
I am upgrading from Vista Ultimate 64bit and I do have a 9800GTX - Once it hits 66% an error box pops up and my Vista gets rolled back.
So the good news is the rollback feature is working like I charm! I've done 8 failed installs over the last few weeks and it rolls back perfectly.
Things I Have Done:
1: Searched every service of the Internet for a solution. Haven't found a solid one yet.
2: Downloaded and burned (at the slowest speed) a freshly downloaded RC to see if maybe the first one I got was bad.
3: Took out my 9800GTX, uninstalled the drivers, used on-board video to try and finish the install.
4: Tried the new beta drivers from NViDIA currently on their site.
Every single attempt the Upgrade fails in the exact same way. Now I have seen alot of suggestions of work around. Well not a lot actually, or else I wouldn't be posting here. Most of them were some crazy things that I had no clue what they were talking about.
So I am coming to you genious computer gurus over here at the MS TechNet forums for hopefully a solution - From what I read there are an over-abundance of people that are having this issue and therefore cannot experience W7.
In plain English (read: I'm not a computer guru by any means, so I can't translate some of the more advanced computer lingo) is there a way to finally install W7 on my machine?

Upgrade Fails During Migration
I've tried four times, on a standard x200t, from windows vista business, with windows 7 upgrade advisor all green.But each time it will rollback when the migration reaches 63% (or 66% sometimes). All the setuperr.log are all the same, like this:2009-11-03 00:51:52, Error Number of Enumerated Devices = 15[gle=0x00000103]2009-11-03 00:51:53, Error Failed to find driver file path.

Error code is [0x1]I've tried all the suggestions I could find, no help. Removed all fishy applications, no help.Any one knows how to get windows 7 upgrade done?UPDATE: my laptop's keyboard and the red point are not usable after the lastest rollback.

Upgrade From Vista Fails
I'm upgrading from Vista SP1 (which was actually upgraded from XP a year ago) to Windows 7 RTM and after 4 hours the install fails with the message "This version of Windows could not be installed, Your previous version of Windows has been restored, and you can continue to use it." I tracked down the error logs and here's the log at C:$WINDOWS.~BTSourcesPanther http://pastebin.com/f3b6b795a Unless someone can decipher all this I'll just wait until I can get a new hard drive and do a clean install.

Windows 7 Ultimate Upgrade Fails
As a retail IT professional, I recieved my copy of Windows 7 Ultimate today. I tried twice to install to no avail.  The first time it hung it hung right after the reboot, at 21% expanding files. The second time it went a little farther. Both times (I think, for sure it was the second time)  the message was that it could not write to the registry.  The install cancels and reverts the system back to Vista. Facts:Compatibility Check Checked OK Current OP System - Windows Vista Ultimate Hardware HP Pavilion dv9000 Processor, AMD Atholon(tm) 64x2 Dual-Core Processor TK-57(Not many programs on a fairly clean install of Vista) IE, MS Office, Photoshop and a few chat programs Signed on as Administrator when starting the install Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Upgrade Fails And Rolls Back To Vista
I am currently trying to upgrade from vista SP2 x64 ultimate to windows 7 RTM 64bit Ultimate. However after the first reboot it at around 20-24% it fails and rollsback to my Vista install. I have checked the install source and running from an MS. A custom install is not an option for me. I also ran check disck to no avail. My setuperr.log is empty but my setupact.log isn't. I have tried the same thing on my laptop which works fine and has no problems.

Upgrade From Vista Home Premium Fails
I purchased a student edition of Windows 7 and downloaded it from the Microsoft website. I attempted to upgrade from Windows Vista to Windows 7 last night, but received an error message just after the first time my computer rebooted during the installation (during the third phase, called 'Expanding Windows files' at approximately 21%). I checked the error log and found that the setup had failed to find a file. I attempted the installation this morning and it failed again at the same place, though this time the error log is empty. The compatibility advisor finds no problems with my computer upgrading to Windows 7. I'd appreciate any help you could give me. Edit: attempted installation a third time; it gave me the same error as last time. The error log says: 2009-11-11 13:43:14, Error     [0x06413c] IBSLIB FindVolume: Unable to find volume marked as [$Setup_InstallVolume$][gle=0x00000002] 2009-11-11 13:43:14, Error     [0x064225] IBSLIB FindVolume: Failed while looking for [$Setup_InstallVolume$]; hr = 0x80070490.[gle=0x00000002]

Upgrade Fails At Expanding Files Point
Just as in previous post on this problem, system then fails to restart "Windows 7 Setup", with error: ".....winload.exe" missing or corrupted. The file is in the expected location in the temp W7 file setup location. I followed the instructions to reboot to DVD, chose "Repair" on the "Setup" OS choice, it reports unable to repair. Have done all other expected things: complete chkdsk, no av running, etc, and have tried four times now with exactly same results. Obviously, there is some issue. Using Vista Ultimate (6002 SP2). Have updated BIOS, Motherboard drivers, Intel chipset drivers, the whole kit and kaboodle, and it is still no go.

Mobile Device Center Fails After Vista Upgrade
I have installed Windows 7 on 3 computers. One installation was a "clean install". It works fine. Two installations were upgrades from Vista. For both of these installations, any attempt to launch Windows Mobile Device Center yields a "Windows Mobile Device Center has stopped working" error message. Has anyone else encountered this? Any suggestions for a fix?

Upgrade From Vista SP2 To Win 7 Home Premium Fails
Completed upgrade on first DELL Inspiron after several attemps and many hours.  Second DELL Inspiron 1705 Vista SP2 I have wasted many hours. When I insert the disk into the DVD there's activity which looks like a decompress.  There's no SETUP screen. After an hour the process completes but no SETUP screen.  If I try to access the DVD the process starts over. If I boot with the disk in the DVD the process starts again but the initialization of VISTA is delayed. The BIOS has been updated. I have uninstalled McAfee, PCTools, iTunes, QuickTime and Real Player. With all the problems recorded in this forum, I'm reluctant to proceed.  I do not want to be in the position wher I have to reinstall VISTA.

64-bit Upgrade Fails - Blue Screen Of Death Then Reverts Back To VISTA
I am trying to upgrade my VISTA 64-bit utlimate to Windows 7 64-bit ultimate, and at the last stage of installing settings and device drivers a BSOD appears and then it reverts back to my previous OS. After the re-boot my RAID 1 states my raid needs a verify and when vista has booted the raid starts to be repaired. This takes about 4 hours, but I can still use my files. I have tried to search for similar problems but to no avail! Can anyone help? Has anyone had the same problem!Is it worth upgrading to Windows 7! I am happy with VISTA and it seems a lot of hassle!

Upgrade Install Fails, Clean Install Is Fine - Same Hardware
When I try to do an upgrade install (from Vista Ultimate SP1 32-bit) it always fails toward the end of "migrating files, settings and programs" at about the 57% mark. The program says that it needs to reboot.The screen goes blank and it looks like it is rebooting, however the PC just sits there, the monitor goes to sleep (no video - either analog or DVI) so there is apparently not even a BIOS screen. There is no drive activity, yet the PC is still powered on. If I power off and on (or use the reset button), Windows 7 starts to load but eventually blue screens with the STOP error 0x0000007B, followed by (0x80598B68, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000). I know that the first error code usually refers to an inacessible boot disc. After several tries, it lets me boot, but just tells me that the install failed and is rolling back to Vista, which it does (rather well, I must say).However, if I do a "clean" install (whether or not choose to let Windows 7 wipe out the existing Vista partition), the install completes flawlessly.Apparently, Windows 7 is having problems migrating something (perhaps drivers?) from the existing Vista installation, but I don't know what. I've tried uninstalling a few various programs and hardware devices and their associated drives to no avail. Luckily, all of this testing is on a cloned drive, so no permanant damage.The hardware is exactly the same whether I do the upgrade or clean install. Has anyone experienced this or have any ideas.Â

X64 Vista Ultimate To Win 7 Ultimate Upgrade Fails
I addressed all compatibility issues by uninstalling the software that it didn't like and downloaded the 3gig 64bit upgrade ISO. After it ran for a few hours and moved to what appeared to be the final stages - it rebooted. I found the screen hung right after the spinning MS logo displaying "starting windows" (or similar verbage). I gave it some time... moved the mouse, pressed spacebar, unplugged an external drive, and nothing made the silent HDD act up. Left with no other choice I killed it and rebooted. When it got to the same place it paused... but then informed me the upgrade was not successful, previous version of windows being restored, do not restart.Any advice on where to start here?

Build 7057 X64 Upgrade From 7048 X64 Fails ?
Can someone confirm that it's a general problem or have I just got a bad D/L. If I try and UPGRADE from Windows 7 build 7048 X-64 to Build 7057 X-64 it starts OK but after a while (during the expanding files stage) I get error -- some necessary files for installation cannot be copied ?? Clean install seem to wok. HA1 and checksums of my iso seem correct. Actually upgrading from a beta to another beta is not a goood idea anyway but I want to make sure that I haven't got a bad D/L before I try an upgrade from a Vista installation.

Vista X64 To Win 7 X64 Upgrade Fails
I have tried upgrading my Vista Hope Premium X64 system to Windows 7 Home Premium X64 system many times in the past few days and I am having a problem with the process aborting. I am running an Acer Aspire x1200 with 4GB of ram. System is running fine on Vista but I wanted to upgrade my home network with Windows 7 for ease of use. I have run the Upgrade Advisor and the only thing it flags is the NVIDIA nForce System Management Controller with a status of Unknown and "We don't have compatibility information about this device". I have checked and the driver is up to date. When I run the migration, I run in an update mode. It runs for about 4 hours. When it gets to the "Transferring files, settings, and programs (62%)" point, it sits there for about an hour while it moves thousands of Sun cache files. This appears to finish normally. I then get a screen that says "Setup will continue after restarting your computer". I then get the Windows Logo screen. The next screen says "Setup is starting services". Next, the process continues with the "Transferring files, settings, and programs" at the (63%) point which seems to indicate that things are going forward. Next comes the BSOD. "A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION. The technical information on the screen: *** STOP: 0x0000003B (0x00000000C000001D, 0xFFFFF88006277D30, 0xFFFFF880054C5EC0, 0x0000000000000000) . It then states that it is collecting data for a crash dump. At this point, to MS credit, the process rolls back to my Vista system and I am able to have my system back in an operational manner. I have disconnected all of my USB devices except for my wireless mouse. I ran scans to get rid of any spybots and ad-bots before I started the migration. I turned my McAfee security software off before starting the migration. I have the latest Vista updates applied. All of my other software is up to date.

Explorer Fails After Screensaver
If I let my laptop (Sony Vaio VGN-FW139E) sit for long enough that the screen saver turns on while the lid is closed, when I open it I can see my desktop wallpaper, and my mouse pointer, but nothing else. It is impervious to mouse or keyboard input, Ctrl+Alt+Del included, and I have to do a hard reboot to get back to work again. Also, Internet Explorer is WAY less responsive since I upgraded from Vista, but that's most likely unrelated. I just wanted to complain about it. Any ideas?

Fails To Start After Reboot
I am trying to install the Windows 7 RC on a partition within one of my hard drives inside my laptop (HP Pavilion dv9000). Everything goes okay, it completes the installation and then says it has to reboot. It shuts down and begins to restart. However, this is where my problem is. I have it set so that it boots from the disc drive. So, it asks me if I want to boot from the drive upon a power up, telling me to "Push any key". When it restarts, and I do not push a key, it tells me to select which operating system I want. I click Windows 7 and it says: "Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem: 1.) Insert Windows installation disc and restart your computer. 2.) Choose your language settings and click "Next" 3.) Click "Repair your computer" Status: 0x000000e" I did as instructed and it says there is no problem. Can someone help me out?

Boot Fails Without Errors
I've been running the Beta for a few weeks on a Dell Latitude D420 notebook, 1GB RAM. Not exactly a speedy machine, but performance was acceptable -- at least as good as with XP. Overall stability and compatibility also seemed fine. I'd enabled TPM and BitLocker, installed the Kaspersky technical beta (not real happy with that product, but I digress), Office 2007 and both Photoshop and Acrobat from Adobe Master Suite CS3. Also installed Firefox and ObjectDock (Stardock).Things were working fine and I was pretty confident with the system. Until Friday, when I went to resume from hibernation mode, I was told the hibernation file was corrupt and the system would restart, losing my saved work. This was no problem, as I hadn't left anything important open, in fact, there was nothing important on the machine.But the system would not boot. I tried various built-in recovery procedures without success. Typed-in my BitLocker key so many times I think I could do it from memory now. The system shows the boot-up screen for a minute then the screen goes black. After a few minutes of disk activity the system just shuts off. Each restart prompts me to enter the BitLocker key to verify changes to the disk, so it seems that something got hosed on the disk. Pressing "F8" during startup does not provide any options to show diagnostic messages on the screen -- in fact, it shows no options at all (has this feature been changed/removed).I guess I'll start over again. It's not that big of a deal, but I'd like to be able to at least find some diagnostics info to send you for analysis. I searched the forums but didn't find any similar posts. Quite possibly I have a hard disk going bad, though the machine didn't have any problems before running XP with SafeBoot. Unfortunately, the disk in the D420 has an oddball interface and I have no way of trying to access it without a working OS on the notebook. So I guess I'll start over again and see what happens. Any suggestions on how I can get some diagnostic info if this happens again would be appreciated.

Install Fails On HP A6600f
I successfully installed and ran Build 7000 the Beta. However, I've had a ____ of time installing the RC. I've tried upgrading from Vista 64x Home Premium and preforming a clean install. I even tried a repackaged .iso (Windows Seven RT Edition) and continue to have issues. The install looks to almost be complete and restart to establish credntials and personalize the setup when I get a message saying the install can not complete and that the system is being reverted to old OS (Vista). Below I've included the logs at  Sources/Panter/setuperr.txt: 2009-07-06 21:01:55, Error [0x064238] IBSLIB Neither <InstallToAvailablePartition> nor <InstallTo> specified for an <OSImage> I can include the error files from an original Windows 7 x64 RC attempt is needed as well. I'm hoping I'm having the same problem as neither will finish installing and both revert back to Vista.

Using Windows 7 RC Backup Fails
I try to use the backup as Windows 7 RC (Build 7100) asks but the backup fails. I have the backup set to copy onto my G: drive and when the backup tries to run I get the Floppy Drive clucking away and then the failure (unsuccessful) message. Floppy is shown as A: as you might expect when I check with Windows Explorer. I ran a check on the G: drive and all was OK.

Mirror Is Useless If First Drive Fails
So, I installed windows 7 ultimate with 2 drives. I'm running on a MB with an AHCI (ICH10R SATA controller - No extra drivers needed. Windows 7 sees the drives fine during install). It did the normal thing on 1 drive of making a system reserved partition with all the bootmgr and BCD stuff. I'm not able to mirror it. But, I was able to mirror the main installation partition. Forward a few days - Drive 1 (the one with the "System" (BCD and bootmgr) and the main installlation) dies. Now I have another drive with just the main installation. Of course, I can't boot anymore. OK, I think - I'll add the missing boot files to the still working drive. I boot the install CD, go into a CMD prompt. Break the mirror, and make the working partition standalone. I copy bootmgr onto the drive's root, create a "Boot" folder. A run diskpart and mark the partition as active. I run bootrec/rebuildbcd (which works and finds my installation), bootrec/fixmbr (also works) and bootrec/fixboot (also works). Great, so now I can boot? Wrong. I just get a blinking cursor on trying to boot. I've run through the GUI repair, and still no go. I cannot figure out what's missing. So, the bottom line is - If you're using a mirror thinking you're safe - Think again. Your data will be safe, but forget ever booting that installation again.

Win7 Install Fails On Last Reboot
I am attempting to install the Windows 7 beta. I am currently running 32 bit Vista on a Dell XPS 720 with a GEForce 8800.I had a spare disk which I installed and formatted. I attempted to install Windows 7 to it. The installation proceeded without incident, but on the last reboot (I think it's the last), the Starting Windows sceen displays, the startup twirling logo displays, and then it displays a 'Windows 7 Beta Build 7000 For testing only' (or some such) message at the bottom right of the screen. The screen is otherwise black.There is some disk activity through the startup, but it then slows and the disk light seems to blink pretty regularly once a second, with no apparnte change in that pattern. I've waited for hours but nothing happened. The mouse can move around the screen, but the install does not proceed. The dual boot was correctly set up and I can freely boot to either system, but each attempt to start up Windows 7 meets the same end.I tried starting Windows7 in safe mode, but I get a message box saying that the intallation cannot complete in safe mode. I tried starting in 640x480 mode, but that had no effect - the install still stalls...Any idea what's going on?

Fails To Start With More Than 2gb Ram
I've had nothing but trouble with installing Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit Edition. After countless hours of having the install hang at the blue wallpaper, starting setup, and completing installation, my solution was to take my all my ram out by 2gb's worth. I've run windows xp 32-bit on 4gb of ram for years. I have 6gbs of ram but i never installed that into my computer knowing that xp wouldn't recognize it and I didn't want any problems. Now that Windows 7 is installed completely, I've even tried putting in one extra stick and the computer fails to boot. It will hang on a black screen with a blinking underscore and then say there was an error and asks me to repair or start the computer normally. Neither work with more than 2gb ram in the system and if I revert back to 2gb ram, windows doesn't work at all and I need to do complete a whole new install. Please everyone, I've googled and searched almost everywhere. It's been about 36hours and going trying to get this OS working (24 of those hours just trying to get it installed).
