Asms Error: Installation Failed : DI386asms
May 28, 2007
I posted this on another thread but I noticed that no one has posted a reply since January 2005. I thought I would start a new topic about that the problem that I keep having.I am trying to upgrade from Windows Xp Home Edition to Windows Xp Professional. When I try to install Windows Xp Professional on my computer. I continue to receive this error message at 39 minutes during setup. Fatal Error: One of the components that windows needs to continue setup could not be installed. Error: installation failed : DI386asms. Error message: Incorrect function. I have tried reformatting my hard drive, cleaning my cds and cd drive numerous times. I have reburning the copy to three other cds (all brand new). I also tried unplugging my sound and internet connection only leaving the mouse, keyboard, and monitor connected to the computer while reformatting.

I am installing Windows XP Home on a computer. I just reformatted the hard drive using the Win XP CD.Now, when it goes to install, I get an error message that says Error:

First time poster; having an issue with a Windows XP repair installation. More specifically, during the repair installation process I am presented with this error message:"Files Needed The file 'asms' on Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 CD is needed. Type the path where the file is located, and then click OK. Copy files from: D: . . . " Note that the Windows XP DVD includes Service Pack 2. Also note that when the error message presents, the CD-ROM essentially goes dead.

Have read many threads on this and other sites and tried everything suggested (except swap out CD drive - don't have a working older drive to try). This PC is at least 5-6 yrs old - has original Hitachi CD/DVD Drive (reader, not writer). Have unplugged ALL devices from back of computer. Just has (1)internal CD/DVD drive and (1) internal LS120 floppy drive left installed.Something happened to computer - Windows XP Pro would no longer run. Tried re-installing Windows XP Pro. using OEM CD with hologram. Attempted to do a repair install, instead of a fresh install - hoping to be able to keep all programs/devices intact.During installation, computer got stuck on: "The file 'asms' on Windows XP Pro Serv Pack1 CD is needed" Type the path where the file is located and click OK""Copy files from: Global RootDeviceCDRom0I386."The screen is locked, and I can not type or change anything. Can NOT change the path. Can not hit SHIFT F10 to get to a DOS prompt.

I had to do a Windows Repair on my uncle's computer and now I am trying to install SP2 again on a CD I got awhile ago. Well about halfway through it stopped. Says it failed. Anyone know why that is and how do I fix this so SP2 installs fully? I also tried to do it off of Windows Update. Failed that way also. I also tried doing it in Safe Mode. No luck. Same thing happens. What may be causing this? I got rid of 205 spy and adaware that he never scanned for. I also ran an antivirus scan. No viruses.

Have Toshiba A135-S2276 laptop. Vista installed. Have vista recovery disk. My cyberphobic aunt wanted xp installed so it would be like her old computer.I've done the following on the laptop: Fdisk, partitioned and formatted hd in FAT32. Started the win xp pro OEM (legal license) install. It recognized the cd and everything was going well until there was a power failure when I was putting in the product code. I tried to simply restart the install and the cd was invalid media. Disk booted up to install menu in my legal win xp desktop. So it isn't totally corrupt.Laptop hd, fdisk, repartitioned, format and no startup with OEM Used set of win xp pro floppy disks to start install. OEM still invalid media. Did install with old xp pro, illegal copy. That worked. Unable to read oem. Downloaded and installed all of the win xp toshiba drivers. Had to search for the drivers as toshiba doesn't post them.

SP3 downloaded automatically but when I try to install it I get an "Access Denied" error message about half way through the installation. When I click OK on the error message it starts backing out the changes and after that Windows runs o.k. I have tried it twice with the same results. I disabled the Firewall temporarily on the second try but that didn't help. I don't know what it is trying to do when it fails because all I get is the error message.I am currently out of town so it will be next week before I can try anything but I would like to know where to start when I get home.

Everything was running fine with my desktop PC till I turned it on this morning. It booted fine, Windows XP started and I entered my password. My desktop background appeared as standard but i had no taskbar, no start button and i was geting no response from either my right or left mouse buttons from clicking on the screen. I tried to get into task manager by using CTRL+ALT+DEL hoping I could get my explorer processes running again, but nothing happened other than a brief appearance of an egg timer. I powered down and started again hoping it was just a glitch. I was too optimistic. So I tried again, again and again achieving the same results. I had no luck getting into task manager or accessing any functions at all. I assumed that if explorer wasnt providing me with rudimentary functionality and if task manager was refusing to work either my only option was to attempt a repair installation of XP using my Windows setup disk to fix the problems.

System info:Compaq Presario 5000, Intel celeron,600mhz,40ghd,256mb and operating system was WinME. I first upgrade to WIN XP-PRO and all was fine for a week I then decided to wipe the HD and remove the partition and then reinstall winXP-PRO. This is when my problem began. During this new installation, it gets to the "windows" installation the error message then pops up which read "Installation failed: D:I386ASMS,error message :Incorrect function."Fatal error, one of the components that windows needs to continue setup could not be installed.I am unable to pass this point.

I was wondering if you could help me. A few months ago, I was trying to install my old printer on my new XP laptop. I inserted the disk and ran into trouble because (I think) I didn't have the correct print drivers on this new computer. Instead of messing with all that, I wound up buying a new, networking printer. I have the new one installed and it works beautifully.The problem of this pop-up remains, though. I guess it's not really a problem -- just really annoying. Whenever I turn the computer on, it wants me to go through a wizard to help me complete the installation of the new device. Well, I don't want to install that old printer anymore. I've searched and searched, but can't figure out how to make that pop-up quit.

My 20 GB HD is the master. everything was installed properly and I had no problems.
Yesterday I decided to change computer cases so I decided to transfer everything to the new case. I checked and tripple checked the hardware hook up. Every button and light works properly. When I turned on the comp, it would try to load and then it would turn off and restart on me. Thats fine, I figured I could use a format. So i put in the Original XP CD to format. Took me to the usual blue screen where it loads its drivers at the bottom, however after it loaded the Press F6 to load Raid drivers and Press F2 to do whatever, it froze on me. I can't understand why. BIOS loads everything, and it recognizes everything. I tried the whole put in the windows 98 or ME boot disk, but it would not load the drivers and then it would load from the XP cd. And yes it was set to boot from A: drive first.

Whenever I repair/update WindowsXp setup stops during the process and reports taht Tape Controller installation failed. I then have to skip the « Tape controller installation. Otherwise setup proceeds without any other request for input. That appeared some months ago, probably after I installed some software that required it, but most likely is no longer present on my computer. I cannot find « Tape Controller » in the registry, not in any of the *.inf files in the folder Windows Inf.

While installing Windows XP, the power went out after about 40% of it had been installed. Now, when I turn on the computer, I get a message that says, "NTLDR is missing. press CTRL+ALT+DEL to reboot." Well, this becomes a never-ending cycle. So, I inserted the Windows XP cd in the cd-rom drive and booted the computer up. I tried re-installing XP and repairing XP. Neither works. So, what I would like to do is completely wipe out my hard drive (nothing I want to save) and start all over.

Trying to install a Dell laser printer onto someones laptop with Windows 2000. Towards the end of the installation, the computer rebooted due to a bad battery and the AC was accidently unplugged. Now right when I get into Windows before the login screen, the computer just reboots and I can barely see a flash of a STOP BSOD error but don't have any time to read it. I can get into safe mode and do stuff. I tried reinstalling the software and drivers but it gives me an error. I can't uninstall anything because it doesn't see anything installed. What can I do? Its a USB printer BTW.

i had was my motherboard cpu fan not working in its cpu fan pin, so instead i have it hooked up to a case fan pin. I am not sure if this means i have a faulty mobo or not.
I installed my brand new Creative sound card, I installed its software and drivers all fine and the PC restarted fine. Next creative wanted to update the drivers and I let it. After it was done installling the new drivers it needed a restart. On restart I could not even get to the post screen and was displayed with an error saying USB over current, PC shutdown in 20 seconds. At first i could not get past this error at all, so i tried taking out the sound card and putting inserting it again. I did not get the USB error now and was happy.
I played Battlefield 2142 for a few hours then shut it down. Now today when i get home from work and turn it on i saw that USB over current error again and got frusterated. After taking the sound card out and putting it back in I had some new problems. I only saw my Asus Splash screen saying "press delete to enter setup" although pressing delete did nothing, it just hung on that screen.

A friend gave me a laptop, my problem is that it came from Japan thus everything is japanase thus I can't hardly use it. The reason I accept it is bcoz he said I can try to reinstall a win xp with english version (btw, the OS is win xp pro in japanase version). Thus I bought win xp pro sp2 and try to reinstall it, so I reboot fm cd rom and while the windows setup is starting, the system stopped and the message on my screen read as:A problem has been detected and windows has been shutdown to prevent damage to your computer.If this is the first time you've seen this error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again follow these steps:Check for viruses on your computer, resume any newly installed hard drives or hard drive controllers, check your hard drive to make sure it is porperly configured and terminated. Run CHKDSK/F to check hard drive corruption. then restart computer. how in the world I can follow the above steps if everything written on it are in japanase language? I also try to visit the manufacture's website, thinking that perhaps it help solve the problem but....i also need a japanase translator to understand it.
