I do not get this error with any other program I attempt to run, or download and install. I need to create a bootable usb drive or dvd to do a upgrade repair of my 7 installation. My original windows 7 DVD does not contain SP1. I have downloaded the SP1 iso and just need this too to work.
i was trying to make a 7.iso of windows 7 profetional into a bootable dvd so i wanted to use the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool but when i try to install it i get this error.
So anyone used this tool? I have an ISO file that I purchased/downloaded from Digital River and I am trying to make a bootable USB drive. I have a brand new 16GB drive that I am trying to use so it has PLENTY of space on it. Anyway, I go to run to tool and it gets to the part where it says formatting and then it says something like "we are unable to copy your files, check the USB drive and the ISO and try again."
I've never quote seen this problem, but I'm trying to burn the ISO for Windows 7 with the Microsoft download tool, and it can't find the dvd drive. Unfortunately the tool does not give you the option to search for it.
The only thing I can see that might be it is in Device Manager it shows up as a CD-ROM. Yet the drive functions and burns fine. I just upgraded to latest firmware. Drive is Asus DRW-1814BLT.
I am trying to use my usb so i can install win 7 but after i use the win 7 usb/dvd download tool after it copies it it says was unable to get bootsect bootable
After I tried to make a dual boot with Ubuntu and Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit), Windows now does not boot. I have tried to reinstall and repair the HDD but the disc fails to recognize my HDD (Western Digital Scorpio Black 500 GB). My HDD is Basic, has 3 primary partitions and 1 extended (3 logical). Ubuntu 11.10 can boot fine.
Have an HP G70-463CL that refuses to install some updates.Discovered SP 1 has not been made available or installed. Tried the manual install of SP 1 from the MS website and it fails and tells me to "Check for Update Readiness Tool" Downloaded that tool and attempted to execute it and it also fails. The readiness tool reports "Installed encountered an error: 0x8007000d, The data is invalid".The Laptop originally came with Vista and later a Win 7 x64 DVD was supplied, and was upgraded about a year ago. We noticed there was two C++ Security updates that have been trying to update everytime the PC is turned off since JUNE 2011.how I can get the readiness tool to work? If I cannot make the tool work I know I have no chance of installing 46 missing secuity updates.
I used the Windows 7 usb/dvd tool to install Win8, but now i want to use the stick for other stuff again. When I put the stick in it just connects and then disconnects every 15 seconds or so. Tried to right click and format, but it fails, guessing because it disconnects. Also tried using diskpart in cmd but had the same results.
I have an OLD computer with a 2.4 GHz processor and 1 GB ram, running XP 32 bit. I wanted to upgrade to Windows 7, So I tried to install 32 bit windows 7, knowing my computer couldn't handle 64 bit. However, at the end, it simply told me "Installation Failed" and reverted to XP, with all my files. I tried multiple times, then I tried installing 64 bit windows 7, and surprisingly, it worked. However, it is laggy beyond belief, so I tried installing 32 bit again. Again the installation failed. Now I'm thinking of reverting BACK to XP.
2 days of searching google, its various articles, forums, sites.. but none of them apply.Issue: Error Code 800B0100 when trying to install Windows Update KB2556532.I've got no idea what to do at this point, even downloading this "tool" the help file suggestsdoesn't fix anything, I couldn't download it at first, it froze 3 other computers in the processan somehow I eventually got it but as I launched it I soon learned it'd freeze at thelast 5-25% of the progress bar aka "HANGS" the whole system.Along my journey I learned that any virus scanners & firewalls HAD to be disabled to have anyhope of getting this far, but now.. it's just at 'that" point.
Win 7 64 bit home prem. (not my idea to get this os, i hate it thus far) sp1 with seeminglyevery update but this ONE.I don't have a windows disc for this, its got that stupid "windows disc saved to a partition"crap that I hate as I'm sure many others do too.Zone Alarm & Avast but those get disabled so I don't think thats going to matter to ya'll.I can't think of anything else that'd get in the way, oh an the "trustedinstaller" thingy isenabled an running so.. ya.Hope someone else can solve this, it's a brand new laptop, never "upgraded from anyprevious windows-whatever".
excess ie9 crashes prompted me to attempt a fix, i uninstalled ie9, updated the ie8 that was left after a restart, had the ie9 downloaded, after updating ie8 fully, tried to reinstall ie9, but installation aborted with Troubleshoot problems when you cannot install Internet Explorer 9 as my only recourse. i tried the fixit wizard, which just deleted adobe flash, but gave the same error message, and on rerunning it, said there were no errors to fix, so now i'm using firefox, ie8?
Running Vista Home Premium X64 and trying to install Windows 7 Home Premium X64. The install fails the installer's compatibility test with the message "The following issues are preventing Windows from upgrading.Cancel the upgrade, complete each task, and then restart the upgrade to continue. For these items, make the following changes:Uninstall these programs. Open Control Panel and search for "uninstall a program". Trend Micro Internet Security 2008 ".However, Trend Micro Internet Security was uninstalled from this computer at least a year ago and I can find no evidence of any shreds of it being present - not in the programs list, not in the file system and not in the registry.
I did a full back up using Acronus and ever since I have had problems. I tried reinstalling win 7, but this is what I get:"The computer restarted inexpectedly or encountered an expected error. Windows installtion cannot proceed. Click "OK" to restart the computer, and then restart the installation"I have done this repeatedly. I must add that I had a local TigerDirect store run full diagnostics and they say all my hardware is fine?
i have a hp pc with vista 64 ultimate. It crashed I believe from malware. The recovery disk suggested this was not the same pc and I'm a crook. I did change hd and a long time ago the MB due to video failure, but I've used recovery since then a couple times. This time I did disconnect the MB battery. HP support was glad to sell me a new one since my $2000 duo core 2 was obsolete. Funny you still can get duo core 2's. With much regret I bought a win 7 os and Wow the pc does work with no real issues. On the outside chance it fails after I activate and I can someway prove this, can win 7 be installed in new pc?
I've searched forum threads & online info extensively and tried everything I could think of before posting, but haven't been able to solve this issue. I recently did a new build, including:
MB: ASRock N68-VS3 UCC CPU: AMD Phenom II 965e black edition graphics: Radeon HD 4850 RAM: 2x4Gb Crucial (Micron) DDR3 1333Mhz Power supply: Seasonic SS500-HT (500 watts) Case: Antec P180B Drives: Samsung SP1614 Seagate ST3160023AS, both 160Gb
I installed Win7 ultimate x64. Installation was smooth, and everything worked, but was much more sluggish than I expected. Running a diagnostic, I found the CPU was running at 800 Mhz rather than 3400 Mhz.This was the first time I'd done a build, so I'd missed that the ASRock board supports the Phenom II line, but didn't have enough power for this CPU.So I swapped out the motherboard and installed an MSI 760GM-P34(FX).When I did the Win7 install, it proceeded through all steps to part way through the final "completing installation." It does a successful restart, and completes "Setup is updating registry settings" and "Starting services." It then does another restart.The windows splash screen comes up, but instead of starting up it goes to a black screen for a minute or so, then restarts, shows the splash screen, goes to black screen, etc. After trying a number of fixes, I posted on the MSI forum. A moderator there told me that even though the MSI web site says the board supports 125 watt CPUs, he has found that under load it would cause instability issues for a 125 watt CPU.So once again I swapped out the board and now have an Asus M5a97 R2.0, which supplies 140 watts, which should be enough for my 125 watt CPU.When I did the install, exactly the same sequence followed, the black screen at the same point in the install.Here's the kicker: in order to get more information, I tried an install with an old XP disk I had around. It installed with no issues, and has been running a variety of tasks including gaming for a week now.Everything looks good in the bios: 4 cores running, 3400Mhz, temps low, voltages from power supply look ok, memory & drives are present.
Here's what I've done:
--run Windows disk repair utility from install disk. It says Windows has booted properly.
--boot into Safe mode. It says installation is not complete, and I have to restart normally.
--remove second hard drive.
--remove second stick of ram, try booting on each individually.
--run Memtest 86 v.3.5b: 2 passes on each stick of ram individually, then with both installed. It found no errors.
--run Windows memory diagnostic, which also found no errors.
--change sata mode from AHCI to IDE
--installed XP on each hard drive without issues.
--download a fresh copy of Windows 7 x64 from Digital River, burn & install. Exact same problem.
--turn off everything in bios, including all usb, power management, lan controller, etc.
I was searching pictures with Google and accidentally got directed to the not-so-secure site that showed a pop-up window saying something about that "rogue" MS Removal Tool program. Pop-up had only OK button and close function at the top corner. After considering I didn't press neither and closed Google Chrome using task manager. I restarted my computer several times to determine to if I got the infection, but apparently I dodged the bullet this time.Is it possible for MS Removal Tool to install itself using only pop-up or does it require install before it can activate itself and wreck havoc?
I have put together a new computer and went to install windows. Boot off the cd, everything is fine. New drive (64gb SSD for the OS) so the partitions are the 100mb windows boot partition and the remaining space for the OS, everything is fine. It starts copying and expanding files, everything is fine. Then i get to "Windows needs to restart to complete the install", ok, no problem, computer shuts down and restarts."Windows did not shut down successfully.... I select Start normally.tarting windows, pretty logo,Setup recovered from an unexpected shutdown select on option"... Safe mode, command prompt, "Setup is starting servuices"Then "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 am having difficulties with updating Windows 7 on my laptop MSI FX603. Windows 7 came loaded with the laptop, though I do not know if I have windows 7 basic, premium, pro or else.I went on vacations in July, came back in August and I had a bunch of updates. I updated everything at once but I have 8 update files that fail to install from which only 1 error fail to update occur in the update history; therefore I assume this particular error prevents other updates to install correctly.
Update for Windows 7 for x64 based systems (KB2732500) installation date: 8/29/2012 You may need to restart your computer for this update to take effect. Installation status: Failed Error details: code 80071A90 Update type: Recommended
The knowledge base has several links, I tried all of them. 1 of these knowledge base is about downloading a windows 7 little program called "fixit" but after several attempts, I concluded Fixit cannot solve my issue or is not the proper way to solve my issue.The whole updating package files is roughly around 39 megs and I wonder if Windows 7 actually download the packages every time I click on Update or if Windows stores the updates ready to be installed somewhere on my HDD in which case I would need to re-download the update but I do not know how?
I was just installing windows 7 from bootable USB when I noticed the "copying windows files" only lasts for about 2 seconds (jumping from 0 to 100% in the process) before continuing to the next step. The whole setup process actually finishes without a problem. But the result is only about 5GB of usage of the hard drive and no creation of the 100MB system partition. I thought it might be the new SSD I'm installing it to so I tried installing on another hard drive, didn't work either.
I'm having problems installing Windows 7 on my new PC. I just build the computer using these parts... Not sure if that matters, but there it is. I have set up the two 500GB HDDs in a RAID-0 (the install can see the drive, so I do not think that is the problem). I purchased an upgrade version on Windows 7 Professional 64 bit through a cheaper-than-dirt college program (only $30. And yes, it is legitimate.) This gave me an ISO image which I burned to a DVD.
I am trying to do a clean install of Windows 7 as the first and only OS on my new system. For whatever reason, when I try to do the install, I get a 80070570 error and the install fails (at around 5% into the "Expanding WindowsFiles" stage). I assumed, with the aid of some other forum topics, that this was likely due to a bad DVD burn... so I made a bootable Flash drive and tried that... same thing.
Last week both my hard drives failed and after buying a new one I reinstalled Windows 7 Home Premium. When I tried to reinstall/set up Windows Media Center the set up got to the point where it was scanning my TV signals for channels and was about 1/3 to 1/2 through when the computer killed itself and rebooted. This happened 3 times at about the same place. Why is this happening and how do I get the set up to complete? I had it working just fine before on my old hard drive but I can't now.. I am now using Total Media 3.5 which works but not as well as Media Center so I would really like to get the set up to complete...
I can't install Windows Live. The installer keeps rolling everything back after 99% of the process. For the first time it failed it only installed MSN and Mail and the rest was rolled back. Since then it doesn't download the installation files any more as the old ones are stored somewhere on the disk and it uses them for the installation. Guess the problem occurs because the installation files are corrupted but how do I force the installer to download the again? Looked everywhere and can't find the place where the old installation files are stored...
Just in case, the error i'm getting after the roll back is:
'try installing win live programs again. progs were not installed because the installation was cancelled. aborted: 0x80004004'
I was having problems with the .net framework, whenever I open a .net application it just crashes, and Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 isn't working too well either.I ran the windows 7 .net framework uninstallation tool, and it said all versions are successfully removed, and now i'm trying to reinstall it, but it's telling me to use the 'turn windows feature on or off' to configure the .net framework.I tried doing that, but the .Net framework wasn't there. I tried opening the installer again, and it says i have to use the 'turn windows features on or off'.
I reinstalled windows 7 a few weeks ago and everything went well and its running really fast and never crashes or anything but SP1 just will not ever install. I tried disabiling my antivirus, installing it without any other updates, downloading it off the Microsoft site and installing it manually, going into troubleshooting in the control panel for the updates and it did some checks and said it repaired some update stuff but it did nothing and I tried the update readiness tool. It installed and did a scan and said it fixed some stuff but it didn't fix my problem. Here is the log from the update readiness tool. I searched around on how to understand the log but couldn't really find much so hopefully one of you can help. I did download and copy the KB2633952.msu file into the CheckSUR directly like it says on the Microsoft site to fix the unavailable repair files. [code]
1. Same computer in my signature/specs except for the optical drive.
2. Hardware passes Windows 7 compatibility test.
3. The install DVD can be read properly. Creating an ISO image of it works perfectly. No read errors on the disk itself.
4. The optical drive is practically brand new, the cable is brand new, never had any I/O errors using this drive.
5. RAM passes MS memory testing 6 times. 0 errors.
6. Windows 7 Ultimate install fails at the same point, during file unpacking, 3 times. Says files are missing or corrupt.
The install disk was created at home from an ISO download, student licensed Windows 7 Ultimate, 32 bit but I don't think that really matters. See #3.Is there anything else left to look at? Any ideas why this won't work?
So I have searched around and none of the solutions worked, but let me get to the basics:
DFI LanPark DK 790 FX Motherboard 3.2 GHz AMD Athlon X2 64 bit processor 4 GB DDR2 RAM Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTS Video card with 720 MB Ram
Hard drives:
Western Digital Raptor @ 70 GB (going to be used as the OS drive) Western Digital Caviar @ 80 GB
Maxtor 120 GB IDE drive (the other 2 are both SATA drives)
Sony DVD R/RW Drive using onboard audio
Okay so I am running a fresh, clean install (the only "information" is on the IDE drive, and that's my backup for iTunes and Steam) using the Windows 7 Ultimate DVD. The DVD kept hanging @ "completing installation", so I took it to my laptop, and using the instructions on here, made a bootable flash drive.I just tried completing installation from the bootable flash, and it still hangs at that step.When it hangs, it's in a locked up state.. I can't even press Shift + F10 (nothing happens). Also, the CD correctly makes the "System Allocated" section on the drive. Also, i removed all USB drives, and am running both a PS/2 mouse and keyboard.
My laptop was running windows 7 and then crashed. It was getting slower and slower, then crashed during a virus scan in safe mode. After that, it wouldn't boot up windows. It said something like disk error, press ctrl alt delete to restart. Safe mode doesn't work either. So now I'm trying to reinstall windows 7, and the installation fails when at expanding files. It says the files are corrupted and can't be installed. I've tried 3 diff windows 7 cds. It gives errors at different points during the expanding every time. Now its just hanging at expanding windows files (0%). Its been here for 20 mins so far.
