Cannot install on volume / because it is disabled.

Hello,
I am having some difficulties with Flash Player and Office 2011 updates.
Both of them are not able to install something on my Macintosh HD:
Microsoft AutoUpdate says he can't find a volume with the appropriate Mac OS version.
Adobe Flash Player Manager always fails with: General installation error. The logfile says: installer: Cannot install on volume / because it is disabled.
This is the last clue I have.
In my opinion it's a Mac OS related problem so I tried to repair the volume and the permissions of the volume with DiskUtilities: no difference.
Currently I have installed the FlashPlayer Debugger. Apparently this version has no problems with my volume.
Honestly I don't want to install the whole system AGAIN. It would be the third time just because of small mac osx bugs. The last time the Apple Hardware Test destroyed my file system From now on I am afraid to push any buttons during the boot process
You guys are my last hope
Regards

[...] As described here, check which version you have installed, & if it is not the current one, follow the instructions on that page to install the latest version. Note that if you have any problems, you should only use the Adobe Flash Player uninstaller to uninstall Flash Player installation files.
Sorry I did not make this clear: I tried all of this descriptions and everytime I got: General installation error.
Doesn't matter if I uninstall it before, install it with the offline installer, start the installer via terminal or whatever... it doesn't work for me.
Adobe Flash Player Manager is obsolete. [...]
You mean the Adobe Download Manager. The normal Flashplayer installation is provided by the Flash Player Manager.
Also note that Adobe says you should not have FlashPlayer Debugger installed to ensure a clean upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. Again, follow the instructions given on that page to remove it.
I have noticed that, but like I said: the normal version doesn't work for me it says in the logs it can't write to the root directory.
There is no conceivable way Apple Hardware Test could "destroy" a file system since it only does certain checks of the hardware. Please describe how you ran it & why you think it caused file system damage.
Long story short: I tried to boot into AHT but got stuck in the loading screen. I don't know why. So I restarted the system but I couldn't boot anymore. DiskUtilities said volume broken and it wasn't able to repair it. I tried it like a million times: the filesystem was corrupt. I made an image of the volume and was able to mount it in readonly mode, so at least I did not lose my data.
At the end I found out I had to push ALT+D and not just D like described on this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1533.
Problems like you describe are sometimes caused by incompatible third party 'modifiers,' "helpers," etc. added to the system. Download & run Etrecheck & post the results if you would like help in determining if one or more of those items is contributing to your issues.
No problem:

  • Cannot start VM - IDE Emulator Failed to Power on with Error 'The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it.'

    HI all.
    New install of 2008R2 on HP DL-380 G6.  I have created (several) VM's none of which will start.  If I remove the IDE Hard Disk and add a DVD of the OS ISO, it will boot and start the install (although with no HDD). 
    It seems like the IDE controller is working ok - it is what the DVD drive is using, but it cannot mount a VHD.  The error indicates a driver is not working (although the DVD on IDE works fine) so something to do with VHD?  I can attach the VHD
    in disk management, so it does not seem corrupt - again I have tried with both dynamic and fixed VHDs.
    Full error is:
    'Test1' failed to start. (Virtual machine ID 4320D2D6-DF7E-40D2-BD0F-9562CBB9F052)

  • Cannot install Mountain Lion because of a S.M.A.R.T error.

    I just bought the Mountain Lion Upgrade, (Mac OS X 10.8) from the app store, and I can't install it because of a S.M.A.R.T error. How can this be resolved???

    If you are getting SMART errors immediately backup the drive.
    If the system is still under warranty (or AppleCare) contact Apple to make plans to have the drive replaced. If not you have to decide if you want to get the drive replaced or replace the system. How old and what is the system?
    SMART errors cannot be repaired you need to change the drive.

  • Cannot install windows 8 because the disk is in MBR partition. Need help.

    I am on a MacBook Pro 13" Early 2011. I am trying to install Windows 8(OEM) using bootcamp witht a USB. I made the USB bootable from the Windows Usb tool, and made the Bootcamp partition through bootcamp. I hold down the option key at startup and select the usb. It starts the setup, everything is fine untill I select advance option to install and select the BOOTCAMP partition. It says you need a GUID partition table to install but I have MBR. I have checked in disk utility and the partition map scheme is GUID partition table. Do i have to format the whole drive to fix this? That really isn't a problem. Also, FYI, this mac recently had its logic board replaced by apple. Could that have anything to do with it?
    I have been stuck on the problem for days and it is getting really frustrating.  Any help is appriciated. Thank you.

    Hey there, I have the same problem as Noor440 discribed, just that I burned a dvd with Windows 8 and it doesnt work. I can boot it from the CD in EFI mode but then it happens the same as with Noor. I can't install it because of MBR and its asking for GPT.
    The thing is that when I try to boot from the regular CD (not in EFI mode). My screen goes black and I can't do anything about it.
    I read in different posts that to install WIN7 or XP I have to have my optical drive at the original place just that I removed it in order to install an additinal SSD.
    Is there no other way than to open my macbook again put the SSD in the place of the original HD (at the moment it is in the slot of the optical drive) and then partition my SSD with bootcamp, install Win 8 and change the optical drive with the HD again. Last but not least I would need to redo the syslinks as well ...
    would be nice if anybody has some good suggestions wether I can avoid that all ...
    thanks a lot

  • Cannot install microsoft 2007 because i cannot get rid off the preinstalled commercial version on my

    How to uninstall preinstalled version of microsoft office on my all in one 320

    Hello Imanuzza:
                To unistall go to control panel select programs and features. Then go down the list of programs and select the program to unistall. Now you did not give us your computers make and model number or version windows. So I a summed you have a Touchsmart  widows 7 computer. Before you uninstall Microsoft Office 2010 please contact Microsoft support technicians go to MSN.com because Microsoft Office 2007 may not be capabilities. Least on a HP Touchsmart 600-1050 Windows 7 Ultimate . What the technician did for me was let me download Microsoft Office 2010 and gave me a new product key. Yes the Microsoft Office 2007 features worked but the updater part did not worked and caused other issues with other operating system software.
               If you do want to try it on your computer before contacting Microsoft technical support you can. Things you need to check is status of your Antivirus software make sure it is receiving and installing updates. Check your firewall status make sure changes did not occur. Check your Windows updater history making sure Microsoft Office 2007 updates were successfull. I do not know if it was just my Microsoft Office 2007 disk copy was the issue or if it was just not capabilities. Microsoft Technician never told me. After working a month with them. They gave me Microsoft Office 2010 download. Please click on Kudos if this resolves your issue. Thank you frrw.

  • I cannot install Presenter 10 because I get a message "A conflicting or prelease version ... exists on this computer"

    I previously had Presenter 8 installed, then upgraded to Presenter 9. I have uninstalled both. However, I get this message when I try to install Presenter 10: "A conflicting or prerelease version of Adobe Presenter 10 (64 bit) exists on this computer. The conflicting version must be removed before installing from the current media."
    I never had Presenter 10 installed previously in any form. I suspect something in the Registry is the problem. Anyone had this experience and know how to resolve it?

    Hi Dan,
    You may need to remove the registry settings and manually delete Presenter folders from your system. Please follow the below steps (Make sure you take help of some technician before editing the registry):
    Make sure Presenter is not visible in "Control Panel". If presenter then uninstall it first. Make sure that you check " Remove Preferences" option from the uninstall window while uninstalling it.
    Go to Run>Type "Regedit" and click ok.
    Expand : "HKEY_CURRNT_USER" and go to Software>Adobe.
    Right Click "Adobe Presenter " Folder and Delete it.
    Now expand : "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" and go to Software>Adobe.
    Delete "Adobe Presenter Video Express" Folder.
    Go to : "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE">Software> "Wow6432Node" > Adobe > and delete "Adobe Presenter" folder.
    Go to : C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe and delete Adobe Presenter Folder.
    Go to : C:\Program Files\Adobe and delete Adobe Presenter folder.
    Restart Machine.
    Install Presnter 10 again.
    Regards,
    Mayank

    Hello Jan
    I presume you want to install your own operating system (probably WXP Pro) only thing you must do is to install all drivers and Toshiba designed stuff in right order. I dont know which notebook model you have exactly but check if you can find installations instructions document.
    If you have newer unit A series be sure that WXP contains SP2.

    SATA driver is a part of Intel Storage Manger it can be downloaded from the Toshiba European driver page
    You can attach the SATA drivers into the Win XP CD using the nLite software too.
    Its for free
