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.

64bit Upgrade Freezes And Rolls Back At 63%
I've tried upgrading vista64/win7-64 5 times but I either get a blue screen or just simply a roll back at 64% I changed the variable, did a selective startup with only Microsoft Services loading, no USB beside mouse/kboard attached, new BIOS, new Graphic Drivers, took out unnecessary software. the strange thing is that I went into panther and there is nothing in the error log file, is that a sympthom for something?

Also, should I COMPLETELY uninstall Karsperky AV? Any more suggestions? This is a very powerful Velocity Micro Workstations with TONS of plugins installed into the latest photoshop CS4... and more... I'm trying not to do a clean install to avoid sepnding days asking for re-activations ..

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 From Vista To Win7 Failed - Rolled Back
I ran the upgrade of Win 7 build 7000 over Vista Ultimate SP1 32 bit, and everything seemed to proceed fine until it ultimately ended up telling me the installation failed and it needed to roll back to the old operating system. Which it did, and I'm back to a functional Vista system. There was no error code or detailed message as to why. See the detail error code at the forums...

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.

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]

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.

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?

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.

Upgrade Install Of W7x86 Fails And W7x64 Fails To Clean Install
Clean installing Windows 7 x86 is no problem. But

1) upgrading Vista x86 to Windows 7 x86 fails and automatically rolls back to Vista, and

2) attempt to clean install Windows 7 x64 results in BSOD when rebooting to finalize the process.

Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Roll Back To Vista, Using HP Restore Disk
I think i might have been really dumb by just upgrading to Win7 RC over Vista!  I wanted to revert back to Vista using my restore disk and when i tried, it seems to maintain Win7, but it seems to maybe start installing it on another drive. I notice it doesn't seem to just overwrite Win7.  Then after it gets half way through installation i get a cmb error or something of the sort and it'll just keep looping through the beginning of the restoration process (then gives an error)   

I'm not a complete noob in general, but when it comes to formatting, upgrading, reverting back to old systems. I don't typically mess with any of that. What do i need to do to get rid of Win7 RC, so that the restore disk will just install the operating system the right way on the C drive?

Or am i just doomed, since i didn't install Win7 on another drive and on top of it i ended up having to clean install and i have no backups of my old system on my other drive etc. I'm just curious if there is a way to get rid of Win7, so that my restore disk will work.

Uninstall Win 7 Beta And Go Back To Vista
I need to uninstall the Windows 7 beta and go back to Vista, which was the OS previously installed on my machine.  The problem is, I seem to have lost the Vista OEM disc that came with my machine.  Do I absolutely have to do a "clean" reinstall (which will require buying a full copy of Vista), or can I roll back by installing an upgrade to Vista (which I can get very inexpensively through my university)? Hope that's not a dumb question -- I've combed through the sources I know about and haven't found a discussion that's completely on point.

Upgrade Failed - How Do I Get My Files Back ?
I have spent the day trying to upgrade from XP to Win 7. The install changes my drives around and wiped out my C: drive and I can't finish the installation because the boot drive was blown away. I am not sure how to deal with this but that is not what my question is about. I can't waste any more time on this so I am going back to XP. I finally have XP reinstalled and I am about to begin reinstalling all my apps, back on XP, and I need to get the files out of the easy transfer backup. The program is option-free so I am thinking - hoping - praying - that there is a tool to extract the files from the WET backup. Does such a tool exist?

Can't Get Apps Back From Windows.old After Upgrade To RC
I was running an evaluation version of win 7.  I downloaded win 7 x86 ultimate from MSDN and installed.  My program folders show up in:

Program Files
Program Files (x86)
windows.old

In control pannel, it says I have no applications installed on my PC.  I tried copying the program files from windows.old to the Program Files folder on the c: drive, but they won't work.  The error tells me that the application may not work with this version of Windows.

Any .exe I click on doesn't work and gives me that message.  Where did my apps go and how do I get them back.

Win 7 RC Install Over Vista Ultimate SP1 Fails At First Reboot
I've now tried several times to install the Windows 7 RC over Vista Ultimate SP1. Each time, the install fails after it gathers files with a message that says setup was unable to reboot the system. The only choice is to cancel setup and start over.

The process begins at the beginning, and it takes forever, and fails at the same point, so I'm giving up unless someone can point me to specific information.

My machine is a Dell XPS with 4 GB of RAM and an ATI Catalyst video card; everything is up-to-date in Vista Ultimate.

Dual Boot Vista / Win 7 Fails Error 0xc0000001
I installed 7 with VirtualPC and it installed and ran but was very slow. I expected this.Then I installed it in a fresh 60G partition (formatted) on HDD and it runs until the first restart when an  error occurs after it attempts to boot. Error:File windowssystem32winload.exeStatus 0xc0000001Info: Selected entry could not be loaded because application is missing or corrupt.

It gives me the "insert Windows install disk and restart" which I did and it is unable to correct the problem.At this point I looked at the winload.exe file and it is there. The bootloader looks correct. It is booting 7 at this time. Obviously it still has much left to do.

The computer is a Dell 9300 laptop with 2 gig and 250 HDD. The 7 partition is 60Gig.Repeated install with a fresh download and DVD with same results. The ISO images must be good because it will run under VirtualPC.I thought "what the heck" try upgrade route. It runs to the end and then says installation failed and restores Vista with no problems.Any Ideas???

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?

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 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.
