Windows 7 Installation Cancel?
Sep 13, 2011
I have a friend with an Acer laptop, with built in system recovery(as opposed to discs for installation)...they had a virus and thought they could just repair windows with the recovery but once they realized it was going to install windows, they turned the computer off. Now when the computer starts, it goes through bios, then it goes to the windows loading screen(screen before welcome/user selection screen) and then it goes to setup is starting. I checked the directories using UBCD4WIN and everything is still intact, however I need a way to either alter startup so the setup doesn't run or a way to cancel the startup

I am trying to install 64 bit Windows 7 in order to repair windows installer, So i tried an upgrade installation (as suggested in another forum) with the original cd. (Win 7 was already installed on the pc, in this way i only tryed to repair the error)The installation was going well. No problems were encounted as the program proceeded through the gathering files process. Then, a MSDOS window appeared and the installation hung-up. At the top of the box is:Adminitrator:X:$WINDOWS~BTWindowssystem32cmd.exe. Inside the box is: X:$WINDOWS~BTWindowssystem32>wpeinit. On the next line is: X:$WINDOWS~BTWindowssystem32>_ The installation has stopped.Now i can regularly use the pc if before booting that screen if i press up and down keys alternatively until i can choose to continue Windows 7 installation or start windows. In that way the pc works fine.But i would like to prevent this operation (the pc isn't mine)..how to cancel a previous pending installation of Windows 7?

On My X201 Tablet Laptops i have installed driver disc for the HP Officejet 6500 Printer.As soon as version 14.00 of the driver is installed on the machine upon restart rather than a username to click onto to login at Clt+Alt+Del a cancel button is displayed.I Can restart in Safe mode and remove the driver but it still has the issue.

I had a new Word 2007 doc to print, sent it to the printer. It would not print. When I checked the status it said it was printing, so I canceled the print job, it said deleting, but never deleted the doc, it just stayed with a deleted status. I can not print anything else, but once something else gets in the queue, it won't print but I can cancel it.

Windows 7 32bit new install of 2 weeks. No changes that I can think of prior to the login problem. Windows boots to Ctrl Alt Del and when that is entered a Cancel button appears on the screen. when the cancel button is pressed the Ctrl Alt Del is back. I have tried the follow to fix the login issue. Remote Registry connection to create a AutoLogon by adding (DefaultName/Password/Domain) etc. That registry hack worked in that the Ctrl Alt Del window no longer came up but it then went directly to the Cancel button. Next I tried doing a restore to an earlier date by booting from a Win7 DVD. Results were NO Change. Then I tried doing a boot repair booting from the Win7 DVD. (and as the problem isn't with the boot, it is with the logon there was NO Change)

I am currently trying to set up a company email of my outlook 2007 but it is saying it cannot connect to the exchange server so I'm guessing I have things wrong but when I try to cancel it it says it is not available offline and cancels the programme.

Although there isn't an interface specficially designed for it, you can actually view the progress of a volume shrink operation in Windows 7, and cancel a shrink that is in-progress, using the Disk Defragmenter tool.Volume shrink can take a long time, especially if you have a very full, or fragmented hard drive. Being able to view the shrink progress can be pretty handy!

I have just got Windows 7 Ultimate.I accept the Licence Agreement, set my partitions as i want them but when it gets to the expanding files part it will hang at 0%. This happens on both the 32 & 64 bit disc.This is a brand new purchase which I opened it about an hour ago.The laptop has a 400GB HD and 2GB of ram. It came with Home Prem x64 pre-installed, So the hardware meets the requirements.What seems to be the problem?

I just bought a new hard drive and a brand new Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit disc and I am doing a clean install on the new hard drive. it seems that everything is going normal, but at a random time during the installation, the computer just shuts off.sometimes it doesn't even get to the installation when it shuts off. sometimes it shuts off in the middle of the "windows is loading files..." black screen. there are no beeps when it shuts off or when I turn it back on. there are also no error codes.whenever i turn it back on it simply acts as if it never tried to install windows and starts the boot all over from the disc

So i have a new SSD Corsair Force 3 240 gig and all I want to do is install Windows 7 Pro on it. This board does not support parted magic (cannot wake from sleep and there are no onboard video to wake up to) so ive resorted to clean all.I have not been able to successfully boot the OS on the SSD. I never intended on setting up raid but apparently all the literature i see is on raid. I created a USB install disk as reccomended onto a 8gig ntfs primary active did the bootsect /nt60 X: and it successfully worked copied the cd over to the flash drive and copied the rste drivers in a folder called drivers My SSD is installed on port 1 6gig sata intel (as this board doesnt have marvel apparrently) My DVD is installed on 3gig Sata port 6 I set up Raid in the bios as reccomended by others (as this is the only way to install ssd?).
Nothing UEFI is enabled There are no other drives hooked up to the computer. Just SSD, USB cordless mouse, keyboard and no network cord or WIFI i started with a clean ssd as reccomended my bios recognized the ssd on post i booted into the win 7 install (MBR not uefi) i loaded the 64 bit rste drivers from asus as reccomended by others i left the machine to install the usb then booted into windows install (for whatever reason) i pushed f8 to boot my corsair windows brings up an error on a black screen File: windows/system32/drivers/adpahci.sys driver did not load Status: oxc0000221 Info: Windows Failed to load because of a critical system driver is missing or corrupt

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.

First, my laptop is a Aspire 5250-BZ853. I received it back in October, I think...may've been earlier. But anyhow, it was working just fine yesterday until I did a Windows Update. I had to restart, and it was fine again. But then it began running sluggishly slow, and just terrible overall so I restarted it once more and that was when the problems began.
This entire day, this has been driving me nuts. I have important files on here, and I backed up most on my external harddrive a bit ago but there were a few I missed and hadn't the chance to get (ironically enough the most important, papers and such.) At first, it said my password was wrong -- as if someone had changed it! I restarted it once more, thinking it an error or something, and did that again so I restarted it again. Finally, it worked but I think it logged me in as safe mode somehow. After that, it restarted on its own and began this loop. I did a LOT of searching on Google until finally someone suggested to someone else to try pressing "ALT + F10" I think it was as it was starting, and finally I made progress. Before that, it was just going into a constant rebooting loop and I couldn't even log into safe mode. Trying to reset it back to a time it was working was futile, because it said there was no recovery time there! So that shot that idea down. At last, I got somewhere.as well. I clicked the reset to factory settings, but still keep all the files (and they would be saved to "C:Backup" and I thought it had finally worked. But now as it reinstalls, I got an error saying something about how it needed to restart or something...so when I clicked "okay" it began again, and finally it all just came to a stop on "Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows on this computer, restart the installation."

I had purchased Windows 7 upgrade about 2 years ago, downloaded and saved it as an ISO CD. I just had to format my hard drive and re-install. The installation completed but never asked for my Key Code. I checked Control Panel > System and found a temporary key code valid only for 15 days. When I changed the key code, I was advised of a "failure" because this Windows 7 was an "upgrade." Yes, I had upgraded from XP. Must I re-install XP and then install W-7 as an upgrade?

I'm currently changing my Acer Revo R3610 from Linux to Windows 7. I'm downloading it from Microsoft as we speak. It's been a very long time since I ever loaded a new OS, i'm downloading the ISO files to load straight from a USB stick but there is part 1 and part 2 download. I have the tool for creating a bootable USB but do I down't understand how you can do that with 2 ISO files, surely part 1 (2.3gb) is the file to choose when creating this. What is part 2?Lastly do I just tell the BIOS to boot straight from the USB and let the installation do the rest or am I missing something?

I want to install Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit on a 64GB SSD. The most articles about Windows 7 installation on the net focus on SSD itself, but I wonder what to do with the existing HDD, before and after installing W7 on SSD.Since there are several software and drivers already on the HDD, I don't want to format it, but obviously I don't need to leave the Windows OS on HDD once it is installed on SSD. I guess I shouldn't just erase the windows folder there, since there are registries and other information related to the whole system functionality. I have a retail version Windows 7 disk.

My question is surrounding installation of windows and how it works. I am a nerd and play quite a bit of games, I have(had) a 120g SSD that I had windows and the smaller stuff on. Then I have a 2tb hdd that I stored all of the large programs on so I could keep the ssd @ around 50% or lower capacity(was told this was important).Well my SSD seems to have failed, I trouble shooted it through bios and its not recognized even if I swap it with my 2tb hdd that is being recognized. So my question is can I install Windows on my 2tb HDD that already has files on it and be able to access the files just as I previously did when I had windows on my ssd?

I was attempting to install Mathcad 15 on my home computer running Win 7 home premium when I received the following message: "You are running Windows XP, but do not have Service Pack 2 (SP2) or higher installed. This is a minimum system requirement for Mathcad 15.0 M010. Please upgrade your system" I attempted to install XP SP2 but it would not install over Win 7.
