Windows Could Not Prepare The Computer Next Phase Of Installation_SCSI
Dec 10, 2011
i trying to install windows 7 Ultimate 32Bit on Adaptec aha-2940 UUW SCSI Bios Windows installation to the stage (installing updates) will continue But when the stage (complete Windows installation) is the following message appears: ''windows could not prepare the computer to boot into the next phase of installation.to install windows restart the installation"
Like 3 weeks ago the smarthdd malware affected my computer. The one where all your icons, files, etc. are hidden, gives you bogus security alerts, and then turns off the PC. Using support from the web with Rkill, MalwareBytes, and Hitman Pro. I eliminated the problem. While I thought I had recovered the computer I was wrong. Probably a day later I notice regedit would start when the computer was started and a few seconds later the computer would turn off. After turning on the computer a few times, the problem was gone. MSE is turned off. I tried to turn it on but it wouldn't turn on, saying the system needed to restart.
I also notices the computer would notify that Windows Update was also turned off and can't turn it on or download any updates (error: windows update cannot currently check for update, because the service is not running. You may need to restart the computer). Also, when I click the Nvidia settings icon, the computer does not detect video graphics hardware. I checked around a forum and I saw someone having the same problem and was advised to set BITS service and Windows Update service to start automatic. But when I check the services.msc, those services are gone. Also, I noticed that in the Device Manager, in System Devices, 2nd Generation Intel Core processor family PCI Express controller - 0101 has a yellow triangle sign on it.
On properties, it has this status: "Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37)". So I try uninstalling MSE and installing it again, but the problem persist there. I run several scans with different anti-virus/malare and while I do find a few malwares, fixing/deleting/quarantined them haven't solved the problem. Yet, one antivirus (eset nod) wouldn't install, after many tries when it got to a driver install stage. I also try windows fix it, but nothing was solved. Also tried kapersky TDSSkiller, and nothing was solved (though when initializing, it gives an error saying that 'Can't load driver", yet it continues initializing).
So then I tried chkdsk /r in the command prompt, but it throws off an error in the second stage, restarting the scan again continuously until I decide to skip the scan. Finally I decided I had enough and tried a repair install, but after the stage where it check the programs and settings, I get the error "windows could not prepare the computer to boot into the next phase of installation". Then out of resignation I tried doing a clean install, but it gives me the same error. Later ran sfc /scannow on command prompt, and the log said that it couldn't repair DDORes.dll. So then what I did was replace DDORes.dll with one from installation disk.
Nothing was solved, and sfc scan still gives me that DDORes.dll is corrupted and can't be repaired. Later I tried upgrading the Intel graphics driver and the Intel Display Audio Driver. After rebooting the resolution of the laptop changed from 1366 X 768 to 800 X 600 as default, and now i can't increase it over 1024 X 768. Device manager shows that now both the Intel HD Graphics 3000 and Intel Display Audio cannot start due to error: "Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37)" Or any way to at least clean install the OS so I can get rid of this problems?
I am trying to install Windows 7 after getting attacked by some virus. So formatted the system C Drive. Now there is no OS. When i tried booting it from a bootable Windows 7 DVD, it gets installed almost, expanding files -- 100% but at the end i receive this wierd error."Windows could not prepare the computer to boot into the next phase of installation.To install Windows, restart the installation."
I've got a Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P mobo, and am trying to do a clean install of the Windows 7 trial edition. I was getting access errors, so after moving my memory around, and trying different sticks, I've come to a configuration which is getting me through that problem, but I've reached another problem.After the fourth step(I believe they are "Copying files, expanding files, installing features, installing updates"), the computer hangs for a minute or so then gives me the error message "Windows could not prepare the computer to boot into the next stage of the installation. To install Windows, restart the installation."I've retried this three times to no avail, and googled the problem, but the majority of the answers I am finding for this are for people upgrading from Windows Vista
I purchased a Toshiba NB-205 netbook a while back (why did I do that again?) and now I'm trying to prepare it for selling on ebay.Now, I did have it sent to me originally with Windows 7 Starter (again, why starter? xD) instead of XP which will boost its value in my opinion, but I have some problems:
1) My netbook did get some virus which I can't remember what it's called but it basically tries to imitate Norton anti-virus into making me purchase some crapware that doesn't even exist or something like that. Anyway, I couldn't really remove it, and it's one of the reasons I ultimately decided I want to just reformat and sell. Also just to get some extra cash
2) I was wondering how I could eliminate the virus by reformatting perhaps? But I still would like to keep Windows 7 on it if possible... If not possible, it would be better to advertise no software than Virus-ridden so I guess if I can't keep 7, I'll just reformat.
i'm trying to upgrade from vista 32 bit to 7 32bit using an official CD. Doing a clean install isnt something I can do b/c I dont want to lose everything on my harddrive. When I do the upgrade I get the error "Windows could not prepare the computer to boot into the next phase of installation." I've tried disabling everything but microsoft services at bootup before installing, but to no avail. The compatibility checker thing doesn't come up with any problems before installation.I've got over 20gigs of space still on my harddrive, so I don't think that's the problem. I've also run the chkdsk utility from the command prompt, but I don't think it found anything.
I've got a 320GB drive on a Vista Premium Home notebook.
Few user files are actually on the notebook, rather the files are on my desktop, and are processed via the network, or temporarily copied to the notebook.
Currently, C drive is 285.04GB with 246GB free.
HP's recovery partition is 13.05GB, with 2.4GB free.
I am going to shrink the C drive, so I can add a separate partition for my own files, this partition could be shared with Windows 7.
How much space should I leave for Windows 7 Home?
I would end up with the following partitions:
C: For Vista
H: For Howard's files
W: For Windows 7 Home
Unallocated: Likely 32GB, in case I wish to add Ubuntu Linux.
D: Recovery partition for HP. I use image backup so this is not really useful.
In a few days I will be upgrading from my AMD 965 Black and Gigabyte GA-870A-UD3 to an Intel i5 2500k and GIGABYTE GA-Z68XP-UD4. I was curious as to what you all thought I could do to minimize effort and problems restoring my system settings, programs, and data files after a clean install of Windows 7.I currently have 3 HDDs; A 640GB for my OS (C: ), a 1TB for Programs and User files (D: ) (Pics, Docs, DVDs, etc.), and a 500GB (E: ) for Win7 backups. I also have a NAS (\NAS) with 500GB. At this point I have good User File backups on E: and am now creating IFW drive images of C: and D: onto the NAS. I have also generated reports from SIW (Hardware, Software, and Network) and Win7's System Settings from the Advanced Tools control panel.
Am planning a new build and the Asus P8Z77-V board is cheaper by $40 than the Asus P8Z77-V Pro but has 8 phase power as opposed to the Pro with 12 phase power.Now I have done a quick Google and there are refs to this but could someone put it in plain / basic wording as there are some refs to CPU power supply, vdroop, and other tech stuff that I don't really understand??I intend running an i5 3570K and have try at over clocking - if that has any relevance for what my query is about.
I have no idea what caused all of this to start happening. Maybe force quitting an install? I tried Googling the problem but every fix I tried didn't work; I don't think I've found my exact problem yet. I tried restarting, looking in the services (it wasn't able to be shut down, msiexec or something?), and using the Windows system scan. The Windows System Restore hangs too - so I couldn't do that either.

I will contribute for the first time. The setting and the program Compatibility assistant who invalidated the program Compatibility assistant were deleted now. Then, the error of having failed in the initialization of phase 2 was output to the event log.
It is not found even if searching for a solution and I want to get help of everybody. When understanding the reason why the method of settlement and the error come out comes,I would like you to teach.I am sorry a little information.
My brand new computer I just built is crashing and restarting without a reason I can find. My System health report won't be very accurate because I need to run OCCT stress test in the background to slow down the amount of times it crashes.
I have run memtest for 12 hours - No errors. My CPU is cooled by a H100 - temps never go above 40c even under load. CPU - i5 - 2500k MOBO - Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 PSU - Antec 750w
Even on a fresh install it will crash during the setup phase, like where you put in product code and username. Leading me to think its a Hardware issue.
From new windows 7 laptop through wireless home network tried to access XP desktop connected to same wireless home network. Was able to move files from xp computer to windows 7 computer but when tried to access files on xp computer from windows 7 computer got the following error after trying to click on the xp computer listed under Network in Windows 7 Computer:Windows cannot access <computer name>Is there a setting on the windows 7 or computer xp that needs to be set for windows 7 computer to recognize xp computer?
I was just wondering if I am able to take windows home basic off a store bought computer and put it on another computer. The reason for this is I am currently building my own and want to avoid unnecessary cost. As I own a laptop that I will no longer be using and a retail copy(windows home premium). So can I take the windows off my old laptop and put it on the computer?
I have Windows 7. My computer keeps crashing I have written down the stop codes, which are all different each time Also keep getting nv7ddmKm.sys.I have scanned the computer with Kapersky and also malwarebytes but both scans are clean.I can be doing anything on the computer when it happens but mainly it is when i am using Adobe CS5 or uploading images onto my computer from Nikon software installed on the computer.
I have a two year old Dell PC with Windows 7. I got a virus in my computer that by phone and computer takeover Norton located in my MBR. When they cleaned it my computer will no longer boot up. Norton worked with me for three days on the problem but we were unable to fix the computer. I followed other web sites and repaired my MBR but it still will not boot up. I tried System Repair, Check point, Image, and Dell system restore and all failed. I have tried to use the Windows install CD and all I get is a black screen with a flashing cursor and then after 3 minutes the compute attempts to boot again and fails. I tried everything to try and wipe the drive from C prompt and it will not let me. I have very weak computer skills but I can follow directions and I have wiped a previous computer I owned. (I confirmed that my CD drive is working) I also should mention I have a second hard drive on my computer that I backed everything up to.
I've got a total of six computers on my network - 2 running Windows 7 and 4 running XP. With the exception of one computer, all of the machines see each other on the network and can share files. One XP machine does not see the shared folders of my new Win 7 machine but does list it as a "workgroup" computer. When I try to access the computer itself I am prompted for a password. Passwords are turned off on the Win 7 machine and none of the other computers on the network get prompted for passwords to access this computer. I assumed that it was due to the setting on the Win 7 machine but they are all set for sharing with everyone on the network. Passwords are off. Firewall is off as well. The network name is consistent across all the machines. I've been unable to find any information on why just one computer on the network would be prompted for a password to access another computer on the network.
I have a Windows 7 Pro with a 40MB drive and a 1.5TB drive. I wanted to add the TB drive to the 40MB drive which is the C: drive. I don't see a way to do this. I have checked out 3rd party software to join them but my IT friends say that's not a good idea.
Very recently I started having a problem with the remote desktop where it says the following message:
"Your computer could not connect to another console session on the remote computer because you already have a console session in progress."
What I am trying to do is to access my Vista Ultimate computer using my Windows 7 Ultimate computer, and have been doing so this way for more than a year.All of a sudden I start getting the message that I have quoted. I do not know why it started doing that.As well, going in the Users tab of task manager you can see there that I am logged in as a console user.
Computer runs very slow. Computer freezes randomly. Does not want to boot past windows startup except for in safe mode(SOMETIMES). IF IT BOOTS takes and an incredibly long time to get to the desktop (20-45min). Does not want to run programs. Runs EXTREMELY slowly (makes a windows 95 pc look like a speed demon.) Random restarts, restart loops, and shutdowns. Sometimes after turning on it will immediately shut off then turn back on. Keeps recommending windows repair on startup. Wants to run chkdsk, then freezes on it.Malware detection programs. Hardware diagnostic programs. registry tools. disk defrags. Driver updates. Windows updates. BIOS update. System restore. Windows repair tool. Repair installation (twice). WINDOWS 7 CLEAN INSTALLATION (twice).Exactly the same as the first day it started happening. So not only did I lose all programs and files, but my pc still runs like crap. Also, this is a higher end pc under a year old. [code]
I'm fixing my sisters computer, It froze on her, when she tried to start it up again it went into some sort of system repair mode and after about 20hrs of this (no joke) it gave me the option to restore the computer to factory settings, it also gave me the option to install some sort of backup on the hard drive, however i tried this and it said there was no room on the hard drive (if i didn't know any better I'd say the problem was with the hard drive) i went ahead with the system recovery as it seemed to be the only way to fix the computer (i know i sound like an oaf) now the computer is showing me a screen which states that i need to insert my windows installation disc, however the laptop has no disc drive!

I m having 2 laptops at home, I want to create system image file of laptop1 onto laptop2. Since the data is large i cant take the hassle of creating sytem image on a DVD as it will require more DVD's to do it. So m planning to store it on Laptop2. I m thinking of connecting 2 Laptops with a LAN cable and then create the sytem image on other laptop.
my monitor exhibited signs of flickering during start-up, but only minor ones and would just stop at the 'Welcome' screen of windows so I didn't give it much thought. Iv'e been using it with the cpu the same time I bought the monitor.But after some time, the flickering got worse. It went from 1-2 second interval flickers to a whole 10 seconds of blackness before it showed anything.Now,Iv'e got a new cpu but still using the old monitor. After a day or so, the monitor exhibited the first symptoms of my first cpu, so I just dismissed it. But after a week, It got a hell worse, before I even start-up my computer, the monitor doesn't show Analog/Digital at the top-left corner of the screen. PLUS my cpu keeps restarting after I pushed the ON button after 10 seconds or so. Is the monitor responsible for the restart and what could be the reason for the flickering?
i HAVE TO GET THE INFORMATION ROM MY OLD COMPUTER TO A "CLEAN' USED COMPUTER. IT HAS BEEN SETUP FOR WINDOWS 7. bECAUSE OF MY WIFES SURGERIES AND THE UPCOMING ONE, WE HAVE TO DO IT OURSELVES. I HAVE A ETHERNET CABLE TO GO FRON COMPUTER TO COMPUTER, BUT THATS IT. I WAS HOPING TO PRINT OUT THE DIRECTIONS AND DO IT MYSELF.
