Boot Camp error when installing XP - cyclic redundancy check

I am trying to install Windows XP through boot camp and I have tried settting up using NTFS or FAT and when it go to the XP installation screen I kept getting an error: Data Error (cyclic redundancy check).
Does anyone know if there is anyway to solve this issue?

Yeah, cray-z is right.  Check that boot sector anti virus is turned off.  If that is not the problem check your h/d jumper settings or try loading the default bios settings, and if still no luck write zeros to the first 50 (I think and I will probably be corrected) sectors in your hard drive.  I had the same problem and when I called western digital these where the steps the customer service guy told me to follow.

  • Data error (cyclic redundancy check) when installing windows xp..

    hi guys.. i'm new here.. just switched to macdom a few days ago but unfortunately, i have been having problems trying to install windows xp with sp 2 on my system using boot camp. everytime i install it, i get to the setup screen ("39 minutes till setup rah rah rah", "windows xp is awesome because it has this cool interface etc... rah rah rah") and then the error of doom comes out -_-
    the error given is;
    an eror has been encountered that prevents setup from continuing
    one of the components that windows needs to continue setup could not be installed
    data error (cyclic redundancy check)
    if you are installing from a cd, there might be a problem with the disc; try cleaning the disc or using another disc
    if you are installing from the network, it is possible that not all of the files were copied correctly to your disk drive. run the disk checking utility on your installation drive from the recovery console and start setup again
    press ok to view the setup log file
    i have tried numerous times without fail and it is getting to my head.. gah.. if someone could help me out, it would be massive and i would sell my soul to you! (kidding).. thanks for reading!
    p/s: my setup is;
    Macbook
    2.1ghz
    1gb ram
    120gb hard disk
    dvd/cd-rw combo drive
    the basic setup pretty much.. again.. any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you so much guys!

    I guess there is a problem with your XP CD, probably scratched or did not burn successfully. Have you tried it with another installation cd?

  • Cyclic Redundancy Check when trying to install Windows XP Pro SP3.

    Hi, first time posting and I did check for online and on these forums for the answer. I am stumped really and I don't know what to do. I go through the Partitioning part with Boot Camp fine. It's where I am on the blue Windows XP screen installing it, has all those 'helpful tips' on the page.
    Well it says it's installing and will take 39 mins and after 2 mins a menu pops up saying there was a critical error that happened: Cyclic Redundancy Check. It basically says the install Disc is dirty and cant be read. The problem is I bought this disc off of Ebay and am worried I can't get an exchange for a faulty disc. Its the real deal too, it's not a burnt disc or anything.
    So does anyone know what to do? I cleaned the disk, rubbing it with a fine cloth...has no visible marks on it at all.

    Hi and welcome to Discussions,
    you might wanna try making a full 1:1 disc-copy of your Windows XP CD.
    You can do that with SimplyBurns for example http://simplyburns.berlios.de/
    (Disk Utility can do it also, but I find SimplyBurns easier to use).
    Retry installation with the Copy.
    Hope it helps

  • Boot Camp error: The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition. The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Jounraled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows.

    Hi!
    I am getting the error:
    "The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition.  The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Jounraled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows."
    I read up some on google, but all of them says that they have crated a partition and that is the problem, I only have the standard "Macintosh HD".
    I tried to create a partition manually in disk utility but then the error message: "Partition failed with error message: Could not unmount disk."
    Can anyone help me? It's driving me crazy.
    Thanks.

    This message, and threads like yours got asked daily for over two years, now it is only a couple times a week!!
    Is it so hard to follow through? you were to have backup already, clones are best, then erase/format and restore.
    Then partition.
    Some have been able to use Disk Utility booted from OS X DVD or another drive, and repair the drive.
    You have to use Boot Camp Assistant (99.9% anyway) to create and achieve a proper Windows Master Boot Record partition.

  • HT3981 when i am preparing boot camp to be installed in win 7 it says "preparation failed"

    when i am preparing boot camp to be installed in win 7 it says "preparation failed"

    I dont have any access to the OSX Disc. Is there any way I can download just the Boot Camp Installer?
    Again, no. Boot Camp drivers are NOT available for download. They are only on the OSX disks. (Only the updates are downloadable, not the base Boot Camp drivers.) There is no other way.
    As I mentioned previously, you can borrow the disk from someone else. It doesn't have to be the same model, so long as it's Snow Leopard. (AFAIK, Boot Camp 3 drivers are only available on Snow Leopard disks.)
    Either you need to find your disks, borrow some one else's, or buy another copy of OSX...period.
    (Let me repeat: NO.)
    ...Windows 7 supposed to have the (wireless) driver already installed...
    You need the Boot Camp drivers.
    One major thing is that since installing Win 7 using BC, my Mac side has become significantly slower. Searching for anything now takes up to 1 min while it was instantaneous before. Opening new programs or new tabs in Safari also caused slight delay. Is this to be expected while having 2 OS?
    Boot Camp will not affect OSX, unless you are took up too much space for Windows and didn't leave much for OSX. You should have at least 10% free space on the OSX partition. Anything less can cause OSX to run slow. (Same for the Windows partition: have at least 10% free space.)

  • Update Operation Fatal Error when installing Technical Preview Build 10041 Upgrade

    I posted this in the Microsoft Community forums and was redirected here.
    Below is the original post (URL: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/forum/insider_wintp-insider_install/update-operation-fatal-error-when-installing/6eaff1b9-0223-4357-afc8-884382590e82 )
    Hello,
    In trying to perform an upgrade install of the Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 10041 (as is the latest available for direct download as of my writing), I am running into a problem I cannot find mention of anywhere else on the web.
    I fall into two categories with regards to this build: A) Product tester who actually needs to test application performance under Windows 10 on bare metal, B) Semi-crazy techie who loves using (usable) beta software as his primary environment ;)
    so it is rather important to me that I get this working on my machine in some non-virtualized respect. I am reluctant to do a full/fresh install if installation problems are happening, because my Windows 8 product key has been f***ed up from the
    start (likely some random database corruption) and I've had to utilize phone support to get around an "unknown error" the last two times I've had to use it. So, for fear of that key completely crapping out on me, I don't want to move to Win10 unless
    I'm confident it will install and I can stick with it (for better or worse) through the end. Problems within the Preview after I install it I can deal with.
    So, I first tried to install the Preview through the standard Windows Update method. The installer took about 7 hours (but from reading lots of internet discussions, stupidly long install times in that range seem to be a common problem with
    this builds separate from it actually failing). During the reboot between the "Setting up Devices" (Or is it Setting up Drivers? I forget) and "Taking Care of a Few More Things" (Again, possibly paraphrased), for about a split second, underneath
    the Windows logo and throbber, some error like this appeared:
    Fatal Error Performing Update Operation # of ##: ERROR CODE
    It only appeared for a fraction of a second, and I had no chance of reading the precise numbers or error.
    However, the installer then seemed to continue, and went until the main circle was at 100%. As soon as 100% hit, however, the screen went black for something like 30min. Then, I briefly saw "Attempting to recover installation" before "Restoring
    your previous version of Windows." And I was, quite impressively considering how far along that installer was, back in Windows 8.1 completely unharmed.
    I tried again by burning an ISO and doing a disc upgrade install. I let that one run overnight and was asleep for the error, but I was back in Win8.1 in the morning, so I can only assume a similar thing happened there.
    As for my system specs, I'm running on a MacBook Pro 9,1 under Boot Camp. I am upgrading from Windows 8.1.2 Pro with Media Center. I have found other online accounts of people quite successfully installing Windows 10 on Macs, so that isn't the issue.
    Does anyone have any clue as to what this error might have been/be, and how I might fix it? Or at least have it on good authority that a fresh installation would be unaffected (meaning it's software-related)? If not, I can try installing to a VHD,
    which would at least let me product test on bare metal, but wouldn't have the harddrive space to be my daily driver and would probably only get used occasionally.
    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!
    So far, I have the yet-to-be-tried idea of a clean boot prior to installation.
    If anyone here has any more specific ideas, lemme hear 'em.
    Thanks!

    To the individual who proposed this as an answer to my problem: It's not even applicable. I specifically stated that I was trying to avoid doing a clean installation (at least without knowing more about the problem at hand). An answer saying to do the thing
    you're trying to avoid doing is not an answer. You can see my last reply for the current status of this issue. 6-8 hour blocks of time in which I can't use my computer (as is required to install build 10041) aren't super common for me, but I haven't abandoned
    this thread. There have simply been no more updates. If your motivation as a mod was that you simply don't like there being unanswered threads on this forum, then perhaps you could attempt to contribute rather than arbitrarily marking the first reply as an
    answer.
    I will continue to update this thread as I try new things and get more information.
    Thank you.

  • Error when installing device drivers with 8.2 update

    I get the following error when I try to install the updated drivers on the device driver CD set (this is when I first insert CD 1 and click install drivers).  I discovered this error when I was installing labview 8.2 and when I was installing it said to insert the device driver CD.  This error came up and when I subsequently tried to install it by itself I kept getting this error.  I also switched CD rom drives and it still gave the error.  Could the CD be corrupted??
    The error is: 
    .\UberInstaller.cpp(1255): IInstallerError 10009
    Fatal Error. Unable to create temporary file.
    Unable to copy original D:\SupportFiles\resourceEng.dll to C:\DOCUME~1\LAPTOP~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\nii49D.tmp.
    Windows Error Windows Error 23: Data error (cyclic redundancy check).
    Any ideas??  Is it possible to download the set of drivers?  I know I can download them individually but it would be helpful to be able to download the 3 CD set.

    Hello,
    This definitely looks like a CD and/or CD drive issue - I've seen similar.  If your CD drives were the same, you may try with another, although that's not necessarily helping you on your development machine.  Another thing to try is copying the contents of the CD to your hard drive, and installing from there.  This has the added benefit if/when you build installers in LabVIEW for your applications that IF you have to include additional installers (this is an option in the installer build spec) THEN they will be referenced from your hard drive INSTEAD of the CDs, which you would otherwise be prompted for... if you happen to have misplaced them, this can be a point of frustration!
    I hope this helps!

  • CRC missing file error when installing windows

    When trying to instal windows on my Mac Pro desktop I keep getting the same error message. I must have tried it 6 times and always get the same message whether I am trying to my main disk partitioned, or to my secondary disk. It tells me to check my disk and I have, and cleaned it, plus I have ued the same disk to instal windows on my laptop Mac Pro without problems.
    The message follows...
    Error:
    SXS.dll: syntax error in manifest or policy file "f:\i386\asms\6000\msft\windows\common\controls\controls.man" on line 4

    xxx
    fatal error:
    one of the components that windows needs to continue setup could not be installed.
    Data error (cycle redundancy check)
    If you are installing from a CD there might be a problem with the disk; try cleaning the disk or using another disk.
    Please help!
    Doug

    It should be "Cyclic Redundancy Check" I believe. If I were you I would check the disc for scratches...etc., and even if you can't detect any that are very visible, it would still be a good idea to go out and purchase some stuff designed for fixing scratches/blemishes on CD's so you can use them again. If that doesn't work, I'm at a loss.

  • Boot Camp users using XP via Boot Camp - Can you install Open Type Fonts?

    Have any of the Boot Camp 2.1 users that have been using Windows XP via Boot Camp been able to install Open Type Fonts, i.e. fonts that are sold by Adobe?
    I have now tried this on two new MacBook Pros, and I have tried three different retail versions of Windows XP on each system. It just does not work.
    I keep getting the "Unable to Install Font" message, which suggests that I contact the font vendor, which I have. I have also tried many different versions of different fonts.
    After having investigated with Adobe and Microsoft, and after having reinstalled Windows over 6 times on two different new MacBook Pros, I am starting to believe that this issue affects all new MacBook Pros and/or Boot Camp 2.1 users.
    For some points, could someone please try to install an Open Type Font in Windows XP, and let me know if you are successful?
    Thank you very much!

    Experiencing the same from a fresh install of Windows XP on Boot Camp 2.1.
    Tried 2 different scenarios. Installed Windows XP, Boot Camp Drivers, Open Type Fonts. Received an not a valid font file when trying to install. Installed Windows XP and then the Open Type Fonts. All fonts registered and accessed by the operating system without the Boot Camp Drivers. Installed the Boot Camp Drivers and checked the fonts, received error messages accessing fonts.
    Pretty sure its the Boot Camp Drivers that are causing the problems with Windows and the fonts. Hopefully there is an updat to address this issue.

    DBCCCHECKDB('DBNAME',REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS)
    For crying out loud! Don't you have any shame!
    There are situations where you may have to run DBCC CHECKDB with the option REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS, but it is not the first thing you shold try if the database seems to be corrupt. Particularly, you should first make sure that you work on a copy of the database
    files. REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS means that DBCC CHECKDB has carte blanche to throw all pages it can piece together - which could be about all data pages if it is that bad.
    Corruption siuations are very difficult to assist with in forums, because there can be a lot of stake. The only advice I can give is to restore the database from a clean backup. If you don't have a clean backup, you have a problem. The database may still
    be saved, but you need an expert on site to help you, if you have never worked with this before. Advice given in this forum applied haphazardly can result in more damage that you already have.
    But, oh, one thing: this type of corruption are always due to hardware errors like bad disks or bad memory sticks. So just restoring the database is not enough. Finding new hardware is important too.
    Erland Sommarskog, SQL Server MVP, [email protected]
    Actually on the same disk there are other Databases Stored and they work Properly and Backup also can be taken for that Databases. But, for this particular database only this error is happening when iam trying to take backup. But data retrieval and access to
    front end application happening as usual.  Please help on this.

    Hi,
    Can anyone please help with this?  Our Tape Drive died and we got a new one from our Maintenance Company. Since then large backups to tape are failing.  When the jobs are small they seem to go through OK but when the job is greater than around
    200GB then it fails with the error below.
    I tried updating the tape drive driver but Windows said that the drive wasn't functioning properly any more.
    The only difference between the old faulty drive and the new drive is the firmware.  We used to have A422 in the old drive.  The new drive has  D8D5.  Can someone please help as it's driving me crazy.

    Hi,
    It sounds like another faulty drive - You can try to reproduce the problem outside of DPM using some external utilities.   If you get an error before the tape fills you can use net helpmsg errorcode to see what the error was.
    Download the DPMerasetape.zip file from the following link and extract to c:\temp folder.
