Cannot install windows, starting to get really pissed off with this PLEASE HELP

ok, i'm starting to get agitated with this.
i cannot install windows XP, 2003, OR Longhorn on my machine.
right now, i have the following setup:
msi 865pe neo2 motherboard
intel p4 3.2ghz w/HT (factory HS/Fan currently)
1 dimm of PC3200 crucial DDR400
30GB maxtor HD plugged into primary IDE
pioneer dvd/cd drive as sencondary IDE
alps 3.5" floppy drive
antec true blue 480wt PSU
i do the following:
format with maxtor cd
boot from OS cd
start setup, reboot, continue
the farthest i can get is 'registering components/completing installation' i either get a blue screen stop error which isnt the same everytime, or it just locks up and doesnt do anything.
ran the memtest checker and get errors on test #4
i had a DIMM of kingston that gave the same errors, so i RMA'd it and got another. same errors, so i RMA'd again and got a Crucial stick. same errors.
so i RMA'd the motherboard since i figured it had to be that. and it improved from the problems i had earlier. (the problems i had before were worse before.)

yea, i dont plan to run the 250. im gonna wait for the new 480.
thanks for the info about ram timings as well. i havnt gotten any solid answers about what to set it to.
even with new mobo and ram, i'm getting errors in memtest86 #4 test as i always have. i've tried different slots with same problems.
i only have one module because i dont want to waste anymore money on a non-working system. once i get it up and running i'll add another 512.

Cannot install Windows 7 Pro; gets stuck on "Starting Windows" screen

I have read dozens of posts on this topic but none has helped yet.
My system has Windows 8 with UEFI. I want to install Windows 7 Pro on another partition. I have turned off Secure Boot in the UEFI/BIOS. When I try to install Windows 7 Pro from a DVD it shows "windows is loading files" and then gets stuck on "Starting Windows"
for ever. This happens even when no USB peripherals are attached.
I have already wasted many days on this. I hope someone can help.
Thanks!

Hi friends of the internet
I have been reading several forums regarding the issue of installing windows 7 (64 bit) to a computer that have had windows 8 installed previously or just a GPT formatted disk.
My Case:
Windows version installed: Windows 7 Professional N with Service Pack 1 (x64) or Windows 7 Professional (x64)
Computer used: Samsung laptop
Model Code: NP53U4C-A02SE
See the specks here:
http://www.samsung.com/dk/consumer/computer-peripherals/notebook/notebook/NP535U4C-A02SE-spec
Create a USB install disk that not freezes at ”starting windows” screen:
First I followed this great guide (Thanks Daniel):
http://
hodgin.ca/2012/10/02/creating-a-uefibios-windows-7-usb-and-installing-to-gpt-partitions/
STOP AFTER STEP 13!
1. Open a command line in administrator mode
2. run DISKPART
3. type LIST DISK
4. Look for the disk number that represents your USB drive
5. type SELECT DISK # where # represents the number of your USB drive. Get this right or you will wipe a different drive out.
6. type CLEAN
7. type CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
8. type SELECT PARTITION 1
9. type ACTIVE
10. type FORMAT fs=fat32 quick
11. type assign
12. The drive should now be formatted and marked as active and fat32. Do not format the drive as NTFS or you will only be able to boot into the installer in BIOS mode.
13. Now you will need to copy the contents of the windows 7 install dvd to the USB with a regular copy paste from windows explorer.
Here comes a very weird hack... I do not know why it works, but I think it is all about flash drive data structure. I did these steps on a win 7 prof. computer.
(Let’s assume it’s drive E:)
Make a copy of your e:\efi\microsoft folder to e.g. your desktop.
Delete the e:\efi folder
Copy the \efi folder from a windows 8 installation disk (I used Windows 8 (x64) Professional) to the e:\efi folder. Sorry I cannot provide this for you.
Here comes the weird part. Then delete e:\efi\microsoft you just copied from the win 8 installation disk.
Copy the \microsoft folder form the desktop to e:\efi\microsoft
Resume the guide from step 18.:
http://
hodgin.ca/2012/10/02/creating-a-uefibios-windows-7-usb-and-installing-to-gpt-partitions/
18. Insert the USB in the machine and turn it on and boot into the UEFI/BIOS loader and check for boot options. On the ASUS Zenbook it detected two boot options on the USB drive. One was UEFI and one was regular BIOS. I made the
UEFI option the first choice and restarted the machine.
My bios setup was:
Secure Boot = Disable
OS Mode Selection = CSM and UEFI OS
Boot Device Priority = I made the UEFI option the first choice and restarted the machine.
The installation should start normal.
E.g. See this guide:
www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/186875-uefi-unified-extensible-firmware-interface-install-windows-7-a.html
What I did was:
Select custom installation (Advanced).
Click Drive options (Advanced).
Delete all partitions (this might not be needed). When I did not delete all partitions I was asked every time after the install, during start up by the windows boot manager to select ether win 8 or win 7.
Click new (DO NOT make Changes in the size of the disk), apply, see NOTE!
Edit the Primary partition as you want it e.g. divide it to more partitions.
Select the one you will install windows on and do a normal install.
I do not make changes in the Bios after install. The Boot priority is automatic set to “Windows boot manager”. If I change the boot mode back to OS Mode Selection = UEFI OS, the computer will freeze at the “starting windows” screen again.
All this worked for me, good luck. There might be more to it, but this is a start.
By the way, the start up time for a MBT install was 37 s. And for the GPT it was 49 s.
Remember if we stand on each other’s shoulders we will reach higher
J.
NOTE: Here the installation program should create three partitions automatically!
Partition 1 - System - The EFI System partition that contains the NTLDR, HAL, Boot.txt, and other files that are needed to boot the system, such as drivers.
Partition 2 - MSR - The Microsoft Reserved (MSR) partition that reserves space on each disk drive for subsequent use by operating system software.
Partition 3 - Primary - Where Windows is to be installed to.
If this isn’t the cast you are not installing in UEIF mode. To check for this (thanks again Daniel):
If you need to find out if you have booted into BIOS mode or UEFI mode when the installer starts you can press SHIFT+F10 when the welcome installer shows up to open a cmd prompt. from here you will likely be at X:\Sources. Type cd .. to
go back a dir and move into \Windows\Panther\
Then type notepad setupact.log
Within this file do a ctrl+f and search for
Callback_BootEnvironmentDetect: Detected boot environment:
It should either say BIOS or UEFI.
To check if your disk is in the GPT format.
Open the command prompt.
Type: DISKPART
Type: List Disk
See for the star (*) in the GPT column

Cannot Install windows 7 or Vista on HP DC5800 with VL Media

Hello all,
I have a fleet of HP DC5800 SFF PC's that have been running XP Pro for some time. I successfully installed windows 7 on one of them, but none of the other PC's I have of this model will take the install. After performing a clean install, the pc will reboot and then hang on the windows 7 logo during startup. I've updated the bios to the latest version. I've unplugged and disabled everything in the BIOS, cleared the BIOS, amongst a number of other things. Is there a known issue with this model?? With Vista install, it goes through the install, then says something along the lines that I can't reboot the system to continue the install. I also tried windows 8.1, which at the end of the install says that the installation file is corrupt.....

Cannot install Windows Live Essentials, getting error messages

I tried to update my Windows Live Essentials from the Beta to WLE 2011. My first few attempts got me an error with Wllogin-x64. I went ahead and uninstalled the Beta, ran the installer cleanup utility (which borked a few things of course), downloaded
the offline installation file and made sure to run it as administrator. Now I'm getting a different error.
Error: 0x80070643
Source: Watson-x64
I did a search to try to find out what watson-x64 could be but to no avail. Are there any other suggestions on how to fix this? Is Microsoft actually trying to solve this issue?

Hi King, to solve this error you must activate the firewall.
Note: To use this feature, you must be logged into the computer with administrator functions.
Click the Start button and then click the Control Panel option --- System and Security --- Select the Windows Firewall --- Configure the Firewall
In the left pane, click Change notification settings to customize the configuration of the firewall.
(By default, Windows Firewall is enabled for both private networks to the public)
To enable Windows Firewall selected in the left side panel, Windows Firewall On or Off (on or off) or select Restore Defaults
You should install correctly the WLE 2011 now. Regards
Microsoft Active Professional 2010

STARTING TO GET REALLY TICKED OFF

Ok well it seems that alot of the time when i connect my new 3rd gen nano that Widowns and Itunes will accept it but then it will say the battery is completly charged and will stop charing even when its not even half charged. Whats going on?

Hello trout27,
First, I’m terribly sorry if we caused any confusion or further frustration for you by moving your post to the Customer Service boards. We wanted to ensure your post was acknowledged as quickly as possible as your frustration is very clear. The events you’ve described in regards to your recent visit to our Boynton Beach Best Buy location are quite concerning. I completely understand the daily need for a phone, and personally feel disconnected when I don’t have mine. To be without my phone due to someone else’s actions would be equally as frustrating to me, and I sincerely apologize if this is what occurred during your visit.
While Samsung may have their own representatives in our stores, I feel that we, as Best Buy, should still be taking matters like this seriously, especially if our customers have been wronged in any way. Looking into your recent contacts to us, I do see that just yesterday you spoke with an agent who reached out to a Samsung Marketing Representative in the area, who stated they would be investigating this further. If you’ve heard anything since that conversation, please let me know.
With that said, I’m going to partner with you to explore what options are available as far as a resolution here. While it sounds like Samsung has been contacted, I’m also going to reach out to the leadership team at the store. Considering we’re approaching a 3-day Holiday weekend, it is quite possible that my research may carry-over until Monday. I do apologize in advance for any inconvenience that may cause.
As I previously stated, if you’ve heard back or have received a resolution here, please let us know! Otherwise, I’ll respond accordingly when I have more information. I sincerely thank you for bringing your concerns to us here on the forums.
Best regards,

Installing Tiger 10.4 for the first time with 4Gb (PLEASE HELP)

Ok hey, I would like to install Tiger on my mac g5 but there is a problem I have about 4 GB of hard drive space left on my drive. Will this cause a problem? or will it actually free up space once I installed it.
I also have some files that I would not like to become altered (music songs in logic etc) when I install this system is there a possibility I could lose work or subject to structure change?

And HFS+ just hates having less than 15% free space, too. The more fragmented, the more likely you could lose the directory itself.
When you restart etc the system flushes any unsaved writes out to disk, and it could just die there.
At less than $0.50/GB for storage, buy some backup drives
And with 4GB of RAM, and swap files (files, they start at 64MB and double) it is unlikely during an install there will be ANY. Always good to restart before even running updates. RAM helps with the install to decompress files, not disk drive - because during an install, you are booted from DVD and it can't write to DVD or to hard drive for swap files. Temp files, yes, and usually it can be 3x larger than the file.
250GB drive should have more like 40GB free unfortunately. And that is based on MicroMat's in-house testing. They use to have a forum on MacFixit, unfortunately that is gone and moved to their own site and they didn't migrate their own thread discussions (wealth of info there I use to link to).

Cannot install Windows 8.1 via Boot Camp on MBPr 13" Early 2013; tried almost everything.

Hi guys,
yesterday, I decided to install Windows 8.1 on my Mac using Boot Camp. I tried to install it, but the first attempt ended into booting to the screen, where it says "Cannot find any bootable device" or something like that. So I googled it up and then tried the EFI Boot. The EFI Boot booted into the Windows installation properly, but I cannot choose the partition I want to install it on. I tried partitioning it in Disk Utility using Tuxera to NTFS, I tried formatting it in the installation itself, always restarted between the processes, I tried to delete the partition and create a new one in the installation, but no luck. I am still stuck on the error "Cannot install Windows on MBR partition. Please, choose a GPT partition". I have a 256GB SSD disk. I browsed the problems and solutions for 3 hours, but no luck. None of the solution helps. The only solution that would work I guess is if I don’t boot into EFI, but into the BIOS installation. But when I do that, I get the "Cannot find any bootable device", so a dead end here. I also tried the tips where they say to remove the USB stick when the Windows installation starts, but didn’t help either.
I am installing using a bootable USB drive, I do not have a Superdrive and cannot even lend it or something like that.
I am really desperate, can anyone please help me?
Thanks in advance,
DavidKop_

Some people have been successful installing 8.1 (me, for instance) despite it not being supported. However this seems to be hardware dependent.
I would have expected the normal WININSTALL option to be available on a Bootcamp-created USB, not just the EFI boot option.
It really depends on whether Bootcamp is creating a hybrid MBR when it creates the Bootcamp partition. Some later model Macs do not. On the Macs that do not create the hybrid MBR Windows may install in EFI mode.
If you remove everything and stretch the Macintosh HD back to the full size of the disc again then reboot and when the system restarts begin the Bootcamp installation again but do not let it restart at that time, you can then run the following code in the terminal and report its output we will be able to see if a hybrid MBR has been created (this is after the partition has been created by Bootcamp, but before it reboots).
