Windows 7 64 bit installation freeze because of disk

Problem is a freeze during Windows 7 64 bit installation loading disk.sys when booting in UEFI mode.
According to Intel online support "Windows 7 Setup has a problem detecting the Toshiba SSD" (https://communities.intel.com/message/206067)

Windows 7 installation freezes at "Completing installation"

Hi!
I'm trying to install Windows 7 on my mid-2010 Macbook Pro 13". I'm running Lion and have installed all avaliable updates.
I've created the partition in BootCamp and the installation starts but when it gets to "completing installation", just after the computer has rebooted the installation freezes and I'm forced to shut down the computer.
This is what I've tried:
* To burn several different Windows 7 iso file on DVD's with different speed (from the disk utilities).
* Remove all USB connections (which is none since I've a wireless mouse)
Then I've no idea what to do more
One thing that could be the reason is that I (before trying to install Windows 7) had to repair my hard drive (which I did from the disk utilities) and I might have done some sort of misstake there...
Please help!

No help needed anymore, finally managed to install it
The solution was (probably) to eject the CD when the computer reboots and then continue the installation as normal.
I'm not 100% sure this was the solution but anyways, now I've Windows installed.

Lenovo power manager for windows 8 - installation freezes

I installed Lenovo Power Management Driver (file: 7xua14ww.exe) and I would like to install also Power Manager utility (file: 7xua14ww.exe) but I always get this message:
"A more recent version of the program has been detected in the destination you have selected. If you continue, your previous installation will be overwritten. Do you want to continue?"
When I press yes installation bar opens but does not move and installation freezes.
Can somebody help me? Thanks a lot.
P.S.. I´m using Thinkpad E530 with Windows 8 Home (64)
Solved!

Why do you want to install that on your ThinkPad? It's for ThinkCentre desktop computers, not ThinkPad laptops.
I have Power Manager running fine on my X220, as I mentioned above.

Windows 8 installation freezes on reboot

I downloaded bootcamp today and went through it until I got to the part where I partitioned half of my memory to Windows. I then inserted a new Windows 8 disc and it downloaded the partition to it then rebooted the computer. Once it rebooted it began the steps leading up to instillation. I gave it my key that went along with my windows disc and I choose the custom set up. There were not partitions that would allow me to instal Windows onto, though I could see the patition of 148gigabytes set aside for it. So, I powered down the iMac as I planned to take it to a friend who was more knowledgeable on stuff like this. However, I read that the problem I had with not being able to select the partition I set aside for windows to download onto was not uncommon and would most likely require me to do some formatting. So, I turned back on the computer and it goes straight to a black screen with a blue windows logo in the center. It did this on the first reboot, however it will not get off this screen. There is no way to eject the windows 8 disc, keyboard commands not working, and nothing I can do on start up to keep it from going to this screen, nor does it ever move past this screen. i am running Snow Lepord right now, I am not sure what OS that is. So, if anyone has any idea about how to help me fix my screw up it would be much appreciated, my first priority is just getting the computer to go back to running like before I put in the windows disc, however I would still like to get windows running. I am not very computer savvy at all so I have tried to explain everything as best as possible, but if you have other questions about my problem I will do my best to answer, thank you in advance.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You have a mess on your computer. First of all, Boot Camp isn't compatible with Windows 8, so you shouldn't do it.
To start into OS X, press X key after the startup sound, so you should see the Apple logo. Then, open Boot Camp Assistant and delete the Boot Camp volume.
With Snow Leopard, you can install Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7. Windows 8 support will be probably released only for OS X Mountain Lion

Production Premium CS4 installation failed because of Disk failure

Hello all,
I just want to add this for the record. I tried installing PP CS4 for 3 days. First there were individual programs that wouldn't install, then the setup crashed with an error at the first place. I looked up any mentioned cause in the forums. But in the end the solution was as simple as this: I downloaded the images and and mounted them in Daemon Tools - no Problem at all. Funny, that I didn't come earlier to this, because my first thought as I opened the shrink-wrapped DVD-case one year ago was, how poor the quality is.
That's it - and maybe of any help for someone.

Hi,
Finally, we found out that the socket files were put under /var/tmp/.oracle instead of /tmp/.oracle
After we clean all the files under /var/tmp/.oracle, the css can up and running again.
Thanks
Mike

Windows repair installation Pavilions a6720y Windows Vista 64 bit

Can you provide a Windows Repair Installation Disc?
I recently had a serious PC problem. I knew that I would have to hand my PC over to someone and selected a Local Technical Specialists (Geek Squad) who diagnosed it as a crashed main HD, installed a new Drive and reinstalled the OS from recovery disks provided by HP.
I personally had to reinstall many programs and settings. I needed specialist assistance to reestablish my home network that did work before the crash with the same hardware but not after.
My Main PC is a desktop:
HP Pavillian,
Model a6720y,
Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit,
6GB Physical Memory,
connected to a DSL Modem via Ethernet connection.
My second PC is a Dell Pavillion B130 Laptop, Windows XP
DSL Modem provided by Verizon, is a WestTell modem.
I have an External 1 TB HD from HP, a HP HD3000, Ser # TH1B32Y047
The System Recovery was performed with discs that I received from HP. System Recovery, Windows Vista Home Premium SP1, HP505283-001, Build ID 91ANv6PrA1.
I am contacting you because I believe that something went wrong with the reinstallation or there was more that should have been done after the initial Reinstall.
Within hours of bringing the PC home, I discovered that Windows Media Player was not working. I contacted the local support organization. They advised that yes there was a problem with Windows Media Player and downloaded an alternate program for playing Videos, VLC.
After installing several 3rd party program that were Video DVD maker Utilities, I started to have problems that did not exist before the reinstall. This is of course with the same hardware except for the new Internal HD.
I contacted the local support because I was having serious problems reestablishing my at home local network. I was informed that there were some serious Vista problems.
Can you comment on the above?
Can you provide a Windows Repair Installation Disc?
My PC is out of warranty but I did purchase and renew that HP Care Pack Support Service. That may also have expired. My last renewal that I can find was Tran # CA03207588-0001.
Your response to the above, especially your advice on a Windows Repair would be appreciated.

Installing Windows 7 64 Bit Upgrade on a Multi-disk Mac Pro

A lot of the information I found to help me with this issue scattered all around so I thought I'd consolidate it in one place.
The situation: I wanted to install Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit on my boot camp partition. Windows Vista Ultimate 32 bit was already installed.
My System:
Mac Pro (early 2008)
2x Quad Core 3.0GHZ Zeon Processors
12GB Ram
3x 500GB Hard Drives
OS X 10.6.2
Boot Camp Assistant: 3.0.1
The Issues:
1.You cannot directly update a previous 32 bit installation with a 64 bit installation. You have to do a clean install.
2.If you do a clean install with an upgrade disk it will most likely not activate.
3.Windows 7 does not like more than 4 partitions. More than 4 it will fail to install.
4.Windows 7 does not like GPT (GUID Partition Table) disks and will fail to install if it detects one.
What worked for me after a fair number of false starts:
1.Put the Windows 7 Installation disk in your DVD drive.
2.Start Boot Camp Assistant and create a Boot Camp partition. I deleted my old Boot Camp partition prior to beginning. *DO NOT* start the install from the Boot Camp assistant. Once you create the Boot Camp Partition close the assistant.
3.Power down your computer. (Remember the Windows DVD is in the drive, leave it there.)
4.Remove any extraneous drives that are GPT or cause you to have more than 4 partitions. I installed on my second hard drive and removed the 1st and 3rd.
5.Restart your Mac holding down the “c” key to make it boot from the Windows install disk that is in the DVD drive.
6.Once the Windows Installer is active do a “Custom” installation.
7.Use the Installer utilities to format the Boot Camp partition as NTFS.
8.Install Windows 7 on that partition, but do not try to activate it at this time.
9.When Windows restarts you may have to hold down the “Option” key (Alt if you are using a PC Keyboard) and select the Windows restart disk.
10.Once you boot into Windows do all of the updates.
11.Once the updates are done, make sure you are booted into Windows and call Microsoft support and explain the issue (doing a clean installation with an upgrade disk.) The issue is very common and not specific to Mac users so they will pass you to Tech support and help you activate your copy of Windows.
12.Download (from Windows) the Boot Camp update and install it.
13.You should be fine at this point, at least I sincerely hope so
14. I also had a sound issue but that was resolved by downloading the latest Realtek HD Audtio Manager and wiggling the sound jack where my stereo system was plugged in, the RCA jack in the back of the system.
(Note: I haven't been able to locate my Boot Camp program or tray like I had on my Vista installation. I' haven't really looked. It isn't that big a hassle to hold down the “Option” key when I restart and just pick the OS I want to boot into.)
I hope this helps anyone that is having issues similar to what I experienced.

Not always. I tried. Easier to reinstall Windows 7 over itself, activated fine. Or just do the legal thing and buy full copy. Mac Pro owners that want dual processor support need Pro or Ultimate (Enterprise also) rather than Home Premium.
I would NOT use Boot Camp 3.1, it causes problems for number of Mac Pro owners, though maybe not all so unclear what/why) but just stay with Boot Camp 3.0x from the Snow Leopard DVD (which can have trouble with AppleHFS)

Creating a Windows 7 installation disk for S12-ION (and similar)...

In a recent (now dissapeard) thread the subject of creating a backup Windows 7 Installation disk that will work with the Win7 Home Premuim OA key on the sticker on the bottom of S12-IONs.
Unfortunately that thread got stomped on because it strayed off path.
So, I've started this thread to discuss the afore mentioned subject and request that we do not discuss anything outside that that we are legally allowed to do (and I suggest it might be sensible to avoid making any kind of comment that could be deemed to be outside the acceptable usage policy for these forums).
OK, so, does anyone have any further information on this process?
I know we need to start with a (legally obtained) Win7 install disk.
This can then be altered to operate as any given (or optionally all) version of Windows 7 install disk.
However, does the disk that one alters need to be a specific version?
My guess would be that a Windows 7 Ultimate disk is most likely to work, but I suspect all Windows 7 install disks are essentially identical, bar a configuration that one needs to modify.
Now, one could also, at this point, 'slip-stream' the disk to contain specific drivers, or required other software, for the target hardware (in my case, an S12-ION).
Would this be necessary?
What S12-ION drivers/software need to/can be slipstreamed in this way?
I'm sure there are other questions too...
Anyway, I plan to do some research, and will post what I find, but if anyone else knows anything about either of these processes, please feel free to contribute...
Scott

'Sweet', as I believe 'the kids' say these days.
Though, I'm still going to look into slipstreaming stuff into a disk - essentially I want what I wish Lenovo provided - one disk with all the base-level drivers and Lenovo management software pre-installed - so I can manage my HDD my way.
@omgmog: it's exactly those *ways* (or, rather, those that are legal) that this thread is here to discuss...
Now, an update on my research: I need to stand corrected on one point - Microsoft haven't made it all that easy...
But, unless Lenovo come up with, I dunno, maybe an iso I can just download and burn to disk, I'm going to keep going and see if I can figure out what the best, most hassle free, way of achieving our legal right is.

Problem with Oracle 11g(32 bit) installation on windows 7 ultimate edition

Hello all,
I have a problem with Oracle 11g(32 bit) installation on windows 7 ultimate edition (32 bit).
I have successfully installed it immediately after OS installation. But today, i have decided to deinstall it and go for Oracle 10g version for 32 bit.
Everything went normal during installation, but i can see the services is not present in services.msc. Also its throwing some exception for dbca, netca
Now i tried to deinstall it and again go for 11g. But even the same story here..
Can anybody give me a solution for this..
-Regards

SaqibNo need to install a fresh OS. That's like tearing your house down just because you wired a lamp wrong and blew a circuit breaker.
There are MeaLink notes on how to eradicate an Oracle install from Windows, but it boils down to this:
Stop all Oracle services
In the registery:
- Delete all oracle services from the register (HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet
- Delete the entire Oralce folder from HKLM\Software
reboot
Delete the ORACLE_HOME directory and any other Oracle related directories/files. Offhand, it seems like there is an Oracle directory under Program Files.
reboot

How to install 32 bit program with 16 bit installer on Windows 8.1 32 bit

Hi,
I have installed a 32 bit program that uses a 16 bit installer on Windows XP machines. The software developer of this program is out of business.
Can Windows 8.1 32 bit run a 16 bit installer? If not, any suggestions as to how I might install this program?
Thanks in advance!!!

Hi
You need to to install Windows XP in Hyper-V, because start from windows 8, they no longer support 16bit program.
or you already try DOSBox?

X-Fi Titanium and Windows 7 installation disk

Hi,
I've bought a X-Fi Titanium card which came with a driver?CD, I would like to know if the driver CD which came it's safe to install on Windows 7, or to download the drivers and Control Panel from the web an to install them instead.
The CD contains also applications besides drivers, but I think they are more Vista compatible since on the CD is copyrighted 2008.
So it's ok to install the CD and then to apply the updates from the web, or to install only the web drivers and control panel ?

Re: X-Fi Titanium and Windows 7 installation diskT This is the best thing to install to take care of all your needs:

Then you can update to the newest Creative driver and applications afterward. The software CD works in Windows 7, but I felt that my system was sluggish and unresponsi've afterward. So, I recommend you try Daniel K.'s pack, and then you can upgrade your driver and any other applications that Creative has updated since. There are a few things in the installation scripts for the applications and drivers on the CD that just dont work, in my opinion. That is why Daniel made his package, because he wanted to integrate things a bit more smoothly. I have run an X-Fi Fatality PCI and now my Titanium Fatality PRo PCI-express card with the support pack and it works great under XP, Vista, and Windows 7 in either 32 or 64 bit flavors.

Disk Drive will not load up my Windows 7 Installation Disk. Spits it out within 5 tries.

Hello,
Today, I bought myself a Windows 7 64-bit Installation disk so I can put Windows 7 via Bootcamp. However, everytime I insert the disk, my iMac will make strange noises. For example; first it will try to load the disk but then shuts down. It will start up again but then fails again. This will happen for about 5 tries and then it will eject the disk out.
I have tested different types of CDs after this problem occurred and I have mixed results. I have tried my old Vista 32bit installation disk which had worked before perfectly but now it will not load. I tried my mother's Windows 7 disk and that doesn't work. I have tried a DVD movie (The Simpsons Movie first thing I saw) and that loaded fine. I tried my OSX Install disk and that loaded up fine.
Could this problem be fixed by myself easily or do I need to visit an Apple store/repair store and ask them about the issue? My warranty ran out around 2 years ago.
Here are my specs:
iMac Model: Mid 2010
Processor: Intel i3
Processor Speed: 3.06Ghz
Ram: 8GB

Itunes 64 bit on windows 7 is unable to install, i have the 64 bit installer version but it keeps saying "errors occurred" at the ( rolling back ) phase. HELP!

itunes 64 bit on windows 7 is unable to install, i have the 64 bit installer version but it keeps saying "errors occurred" at the ( rolling back ) phase. HELP!!!

I have the answer and this might be useful for any one else wondering about this in the future. If it helped you or explained what you wanted to know. Replay to the post pls
It's quite easy actually. First have your "iTunes Library Extras", "iTunes Library Genius", "iTunes Library", and "iTunes Music Library" backed up. Download ans install iTunes 64-bit. I don't know what's so 64-bit about iTunes 64 since Win7 reports it as a 32-bit application in the task manager. But anyway. Install iTunes 64 and launch it. If you migrated your library to another drive like me go to settings in iTunes and change the directory to your location. Close iTunes. Replace the newly created files with your backed up files. Launch iTunes. iTunes will load and then update your library and from there you are set to go! so basically it is just like a normal upgrade. But if you hesitated to go from 32 to 64 like me, here is your answer.
By the way. I'm using Windows 7 64-bit with iTunes 64-bit and it works without problems and syncing with my iPod Touch also works flawlessly.
