K8N Neo2-F hangs when installing Windows XP Pro

Hello, I've recently been trying to put together my first build, and I haven't had too much luck thus far.
My problem occurs when trying to clean install Windows XP Pro on my hard drives. Using either of my HDDs results in the Windows setup screen coming up, loading all the drivers, and then crapping out right before it lets me add/delete partitions. It hangs right before there, and provides me with a STOP 0x000007 BSOD error. I've tried with both my SATA and my IDE drives, and nothing seems to work. The IDE drive works fine on my old motherboard (Non SATA compatible, so I can't even test the SATA drive on it), and lets me partition the drive, so it's not the HD, and it's not the CD. The processor, mobo, SATA HD and the RAM are all new.
I've followed the guide that fafner and syar2003 have provided here, and have come up with nothing. (I only tried the first method, not the second one further down the thread).
Is there a BIOS setting that I'm missing, or what?
Thanks in advance.

Amps on the power supply are:
+3.3: 32A
+5: 40A
+12: 24A
I've tried installing windows with just the SATA drive, just the IDE, and both. I've now tried installing Windows using syar2003's advice in aforementioned thread, saw this link and tried setting the max memclock to 166Mhz, with 1 stick, or 2. Had the timings set to auto though. No dice.
No matter what, after it says "Setup is now starting Windows", it hangs, and after about 5 minutes, this BSOD comes up.

Boot camp not recognize keyboard and mouse when installing windows 7 pro 64 bit

Hi,
I have some issue when installing windows 7 pro 64 bit using boot camp. after done partitioning the windows drive and when boot to windows installation process, i've got stuck in the first screen when choosing the language. it seems that the keyboard and mouse are not detected.
i'm using boot camp ver. 5.0.
does anyone have similar problem with me?

I have finally successfully installed Windows 7 x64 on MacBook Air 13.3" (2013) thru Bootcamp.
Problem: After Windows 7 install thru BootCamp, I got to the first login screen and not input devices (Mouse, keyboard, USB) worked. I tried to boot into Windows Safemode, but I received the error "Windows can not complete installation in Safe Mode".
Cause: WIndows 7 does not have native USB 3.0 drivers, included on the install images.
Resolution: I downloaded the latest device drivers with thru BootCamp and copied them to the USB Flash Drive that had my bootable Windows 7 x64 install on it. The second option in BootCamp is "Download Support Media". This does more than just download drivers. It creates a file called "autoattended.xml". This is key as it tells Windows during the install process to use the device drivers that you download. Otherwise, you need to do it manually, which you can't because you have no mouse or keyboard.
NOTE: I had no need of a super drive because I had all the files on one USB flash drive. Therefore, I don't think it matter which side of the MBA the USB drive was plugged in, as other solutions suggested.

Bootcamp hangs when installing Windows 7 on Macbook Air

I purchased a new Macbook air less than 1 month ago. 256GB SSD drive, maximum RAM. It's running OS X Lion (10.7.1). I plugged in a USB DVD drive, keyboard, and mouse.
When trying to install Windows 7 64-bit Bootcamp Assistant creates the partition, creates the windows driver disk, then reboots to install windows from my retail version of Windows 7 Home Premium (DVD.) It hangs with the progress bar about 10% of the way across. The message "windows is loading files" is displayed. I waited a full 45 minutes but nothing changed. Help!

Look at your SSD. See if there is an issue, firmware update, etc.
not all SSDs work - some work in one OS and not the other, the Mac 2011s have been known to have issues with their SATA3 cable interface and chipset.
Apple and Intel and others have all issued fimrware updates.
In some cases people have just sent back their MBP because they were such problem, and that just running Mac OS, not even Windows.

Tecra S1 Hangs when installing XP

Hi,
I have a weird problem. My Tecra S1 'hangs' when installing a 'normal' Windows XP Pro (instead of using the 'image DVD). The installation works fine up till the last 9 minutes...then it 'hangs', and the laptop stops working. Only possible solution is then to take out the battery & cut the power. Had a (1 time) similar problem of 'hanging' when using the image DVD
Somebody who had this before ???
Thanks a lot for all your hints & tips...

Hej guys,
Thanks a lot for the suggestions, and indeed, I also tried other CD's of XP pro...all with the same result. At the last 9 seconds it hangs & the only thing I can do is take out the battery. Last thing I tried was installing a Win2000 pro & that works fine. Then I tried to upgrade that version, but again...it stopped at the last 9 seconds.... :-((, so perhaps indeed I have to look in the direction of the memory problem ???

BSOD when installing Windows XP

I have two R500 ThinkPads that came with Vista Home Basic sp1. I need to install Windows XP Pro sp2 on the laptops but I keep getting a BSOD when I boot from the XP installation cd. The BSOD error is:
A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:
Check for viruses on your computer. Remove any newly installed hard drives or hard drive controllers. Check your hard drive to make sure it is properly configured and terminated. Run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption, and then restart your computer.
Technical information:
*** STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF7C04524, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
The laptops are both brand new, I did make recovery disks of the vista install, but I really need XP installed on them to work with our system. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There's a slightly easier way than slipstreaming.
The issue is that XP doesn't have driver support for the SATA AHCI controller on that system. However, you can download that driver here: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-70477
You'll need to extract that and put it in the root of a floppy (yeah, a floppy... looking for the A: drive is hardcoded in to the XP install).
When you boot to the XP CD, press F6 when prompted (it'll say "Press F6 to install third-party SCSI controller" or something similar along the bottom).
Windows will load some files and eventually bring you to a screen with a couple of options. It'll tell you your current controller is "<none>" and allow you to press S to specify a driver. Once you do, it'll scan the A drive and load up the entries from the txtsetup.oem file you extracted from the driver.
The selection you want doesn't show up by default. There aren't any scroll bars, but you can scroll through the list using the arrow keys. You want "Intel(R) ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller" which is the 7th from the bottom.
Select that, Windows will load it, the install will continue and you'll be golden.
If you don't want to bother with scrolling, you can open the txtsetup.oem file and find this line (near the top):
[Defaults]
scsi = iaStor_ICH8MEICH9ME
Change that to:
[Defaults]
scsi = iaAHCI_ICH9MEM
And the proper controller will be highlighted by default so you don't have to arrow through the list.
If all of that is too much of a pain, you can go in to the BIOS under Config->SATA and change AHCI to Compatibility and load Windows w/o the IMSM driver. Once Windows is loaded, you can install the driver and enable AHCI mode using the install.cmd file in the PREPARE directory of the driver linked above.
Hope this helps.

Do I need to install boot camp on Windows 7 as well as on Lion? I already installed it some years ago on Leopard when installing Windows Vista on my Macbook Pro. But now after installing Windows 7, many things in windows doesn't work (sound etc.)

Do I need to install boot camp on Windows 7 as well as on Lion? I already installed it some years ago on Leopard when installing Windows Vista on my Macbook Pro. But now after installing Windows 7, many things in windows doesn't work (sound etc.). I made a clean installation because I needed to go from 32 bit to 64 bit.
Or should I just update bootcamp in Lion? (cause when I search for "boot camp" in Windows 7 there's no result)

Error when installing windows 7

Hello... When installing Windows 7 Ultimate, I'm getting an error during the windows installation setup. I get the error 0x800024. I choose the correct partition, click install, and this error shows.
I'm on a mac pro and on snow leopard. I have boot camp 3.0.1, which doesn't show windows 7 when it's about to reboot into the installation screen. Is there anything I can do?

Have you looked here?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3986
Supposedly you need BootCamp 3.1 for Windows 7.
On a MacPro you can't have the Mac OS in slot 1 if you going to install Windows on a second drive. Just put the blank one in slot #1 (that you want Windows on) and then Mac OS drive in slot #2, #3 or #4 and it should work then.
Boot Camp can only use up to 2 partitions, Mac as #1 and/or Windows as #2. No 3rd partition. You have to have enough free space to use Boot Camp. If you have a 300 gig disk and you have 200 gigs worth of space used up it will only see the 100 gig of space left. And if it's an old disk you may not have enough CONTINUOUS space for it. The files may be all over and it can't find enough free space.
If on a second (blank) disk what I did was use Disk Utility to format/partition (UFS, Journaled) the whole disk as 1 partition and then let Boot Camp/Windows 7 (I used XP) repartition the disk as NTFS as the first partition (for XP) and left the second (for storage) alone. Or in your case just let Boot Camp/Windows partition it as one NTFS.
You have to tell it which one to use. If you don't have a choice then set the partition larger then 32 gigs then you should only have one choice, NTFS.
The Mac can't write to an NTFS disk so it can't make a NTFS partition. So that is why you just partition it like you would if you were only putting the Mac on it. (On an already blank disk). Then when Boot Camp/Windows takes over then Windows can write the NTFS partition.
The same with a Mac already on a hard drive. 1 partition. Boot Camp/Windows will then make the 2nd partition an NTFS partition (or what ever you want).
Hope this helps....

Blank screen when installing Windows 7 on my Late 2009 iMac

So before I drop everything and start hitting my head agains the wall I figured I would make one more stop and ask folks on the forum.
I'm trying to install Windows 7 Pro on my "late 2009" 27" iMac. Here is a quick config.
Here are the exact steps I take:
1. Start Boot Camp Assistant
2. Select both options to download Windows components and install Windows 7... and make the partion (80GB) allocation to Windows partition
3. Insert the Windows installation disc (Pro, full version)
Everything seems to be running smooth, meaning I see the windows installer and I'm able to select the partition where I want Windows to reside and here are the last few things I see...
Right after the Starting Windows the screen goes blank and that's is. If I simply restart at this point it goes back to the Starting Windows and blank screen again (no option to choose OS).
Since the wireless keyboard is not functioning at this point I learned to take out the CD from the drive by holding the mouse button on startup. From there I insert an installation disc for Snow Leopard and boot from disc by holding the "C" button on my USB keyboard. It lunches the Utilities where I'm able to select The Start Up Disk and here is where I actually see both partitions. That's how I got back to OS.
So what am I doing wrong? I though that it had to do something with the video driver but if the installer works than I should be able to go in there after it's in place and run the correct driver from the WindowsSupport folder that I downloaded earlier. I have tried this with 32-bit and 64-bit version of Windows 7 pro with the same negative result.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I called the App store to see if they can assist but the only thing they suggested was CrossOver which doesn't help me.
Does anyone have any ideas on what to do/change?
Thank you.
Best regards,
Marcin

Got it!
After posting my question I noticed the "More like this" category and the second discussion was a hit.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/11290644#11290644
It was a display driver. All I needed to do was to boot from the CD again and following the directions in the post.
Worked like a charm.

Can't install Windows 7 Pro x64 - device driver missing - can't eject DVD

Hello,
I am trying to install Windows 7 Pro x64 - I create the partition in boot camp and start windows install process. **During the Windows install process**, it says "A required CD/DVD device driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now. Note: if the Windows installation media is in the CD/DVD drive, you can safely remove it for this step".
Apparently the drivers are on the OSX install DVD. But, there is no way to eject the windows DVD! Why on earth is there no manual eject on Macs? Is there another way to eject? I tried to put a paperclick in the slot next to where a CD is inserted but it didn't do anything. Is there another way to get Windows to see the correct device drivers?
I am all for clean slick designs, but when it does not have all required functionality, it is kind of useless.
I am talking to Mac Support and they can't help.
Looks like I will have to return this Mac, I also need to boot into full Windows (without Parallels or VMWare) to do my work.

You don't mention what Mac you have, so I'd have to say there is almost no way to help.
IF the 7 Pro x64 came download ISO thru EDU, you have to burn it, and if you use Disk Utility, at 2X reduced burn speed... otherwise it won't work.
A VM isn't fussy and can use ISOs.
If you want both native and VM, to have Windows installed on its own hard drive and use it under OS X, then you have to install it and use Boot Camp Assistant.
I'd say it is all about your DVD media.

Install Windows 7 Pro 64bit on MacBook Pro 15" Mid 2014

Trying to install Window 7 Pro on my new MacBook Pro 15" Mid 2014. I went through the following:
Attempt 1: Downloading the latest bootcamp support drivers, copied on flash drive and used BCA for partitioning. Booting from Ext. DVD with USB pin drive containing the drivers inserted
Attempt 2: Using ISO to create a bootable USB pin drive with bootcamp support drivers on the same..
Both attempts ended being unable to pass Windows 7 language selection screen. Mouse/Trackpad/Keyboard are not working.
Windows 8.1 pro works fine, but I'm not very happy with it..
Any advice?

The primary challenge is due to absence of proper drivers on the W7 installer to support the USB ports. One thing to check is if the USB is a USB2 or USB3. USB3 pen drives will not work.
You should also try Attempt 2 using all available USB ports available, one at a time. Disconnect any other peripherals other than KM and USB before you start installation. BT devices are not very stable when used.
If you can see any files in the Bootcamp volume from the OSX side, look for installer logs for details.
find . -name setupact.log -print
./Windows/Logs/DPX/setupact.log
./Windows/Panther/setupact.log
./Windows/Panther/UnattendGC/setupact.log
