Cant install Vista SP1 on a 300 N200

Hallo
I have tried every thing. Search the net. Got support from MS, but still. Cant install SP1 for Vista.
The installation goes fine, until the last step. On Step 3/3 it say 100% complete. But after a while it say, installation failed and that the system is restored.
I have tried installing the SP1 after a Vista clean boot with all not neede services turned off. No luck
I have upgrade every driver and BIOS with the latest from the Lenovo website.
Any idea how to get it installed?

Hi!
Could you tell us whether it's a clean install of Vista or are you running a Lenovo pre-load? Also, are all your drivers updated? From my research there are two major culprits that can prevent an upgrade to Vista SP1 (either stand-alone or via Windows Update):
1) fingerprint reader driver
2) X3100 Intel graphics driver
However, the error you mention is known to Microsoft but they offer little in terms of a solution for this issue. Here's their explanation:

'Windows cannot install required files' error while installing Vista SP1

I'm installing Vista Client SP1 on my Macbook pro and getting the following error:
Windows cannot install required files. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation.
Almost exactly as described in this KB article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/930984/ except my error code is 0x80070017. I'm double-checked CRC on my dvd to ensure it's not corrupt. Also I've previously successfully installed Vista SP1 from the SAME DVD on a different Mac Leopard (desktop)
Any ideas? This is a new Macbook pro, just got it yesterday. Could be DVD drive issue?
Thanks!

Did you get far enough to delete the FAT partition BootCamp created, so you could create a new NTFS one?

Bootcamp Question? Should I update bootcamp before installing Vista SP1

Hi,
I am about to install Vista SP1 on iMac, Leopard 10.5.4.
About a month back, there was a bootcamp update that had been posted on support download website. The question is; Do I need to install the Update before installing Vista or is that needs to be done after the installation of Vista?
Thanks for the help,

The update is consists only of new device drivers for Windows XP and Vista. There are different updates depending upon whether you install 32-bit XP, 32-bit Vista, or 64-bit Vista. So Windows must be installed first, the original drivers included on the Leopard DVD should be installed, then you can install the update in Windows.

T60P - problems installing Vista SP1

I own a T60P with pre installed vista business. When I try to install a vista sp1 it gives me the following massage 0x800703ee and stop installation process. As well the ThinkVantage system fails to install and update module (32 bit) to vista through the download center- are2 problems connected? Can anyone help me solve it? Thanks

Make sure your system is up to date by using System Update.

Audigy LS W/ Alchemy Upgrade - Error after installing Vista Sp1

First off, yes I know it is a release candidate, and yes, I can uninstall it... but the error is there, and will of course be there when the final release is pushed out on updates unless it is fixed.... so here goes...
I installed Vista Sp RC yesterday. No issues that I identified immediately, everything seemed fine. Yet today when I tried to listen to podcasts, iTunes wouldn't play audio (other apps still play audio fine). I tracked this down to a sound driver issue, so I went to control panel to load the Sound controls, and lo, there was an error box that did appear:
"Audio Enhancements Problem"
"Windows has detected that audio enhancements for the following device are causing problems:"
"Speakers (SB Audigy LS)"
"Would you like to disable Driver Enhancements for this device? (Yes/No)"
I'm not sure what the side effect of disabling driver enhancements would be - it sounds like pretty much crippling the card, which will not accept as I did pay for the upgrade to support Alchemy in Vista for it. I'm also not sure if I tell it to disable the enhancements if I'll ever be able to turn them back on again without a reinstall - vista is that way with some of its hidden settings.
So - is there another way around this other than simply uninstalling SP (which hopefully will work), and most importantly, will there be an update to fix the problem before Sp final pushes?
My system is as follows:
AMD Opteron 70, 2gb PC4000 DDR
320GB Seagate SATA Dri've
SB Audigy LS
ATI Radeon HD2600XT
DFI Lanparty NF4 Ultra-D
Windows Vista Home Premium
everything worked until today, and I'm assuming my install of SP RC was the trigger. I'm about to start a rollback, but that will of course take some time. I will post back here if the rollback does NOT fix the problem. I'm hoping it will, but still need a fix before SP final pushes.

http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Vista/Vista-SP-RTMs-and-Lies/ http://www.microsoft-watch.com/conte..._question.html Is it RTM or not Google it and see. Main issue with SP is drivers (not many). That's all I care to comment on.You could reinstall any drivers that are a problem.Didn't work for me.

Can't install Vista SP1 on new MBP

Hey there,
I posted this in another category by mistake, apologies.
I have a mid-2009 MBP and recently updated to 10.6 (now 10.6.1). I unfortunately need to install Windows on my machine for grad school examination software and I didn't have a copy of XP, so I went and purchased a retail version of Vista Premium Home SP1. Using Boot Camp, I get almost all the way through the installation process until it tells me that it "could not configure one or more system components." I verified and repaired disk permissions via Disk Utility before I started, and did the install 3 times with partition sizes of 32, 25 and 15 with no luck. Any ideas? Suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I guess the problem is due to vista that needs a NTFS partition to be installed. Check in which way your bootcamp has being partitioned (I think FAT). In this case, to solve the problem is to format the partition in NTFS: in the vista installation process, when it is asked to choose where install windows, there should be a way to format and allow the process to complete regularly.

BSOD when installing Vista SP1 on replaced HDD, T61p

Hi all,
My hdd crashed last week, fortunatelly I was still able to backup most of data.
Yestarday I got new hdd, with preinstalled Vista Ultimate, but pretty old - from september 2008.
I started with refreshing drivers, which is now huge work comparing to use of TVSU (btw: Lenovo, please fix TVSU!!)
Then I did Windows Update, downloaded about 80 updates, 280MB. SP1 didn't show up though.
I took full SP1 and tried to install it, however after 3rd or 4th reboot it crashed with BSOD STOP error, ending with 07E.
There is no description of any kind, no names of drivers, etc.
This stop error seems to be quite generic and honestly I don't know where to start.
Any help 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.
Full disclosure: Lenovo issues my paychecks.

Satellite A200-TR6 - Can't install Vista SP1

I've got Windows Update set to automatically install any updates, but it's failing on installing SP1. Specifically, I've had SP1 in my "Pending Updates" folder for a few months now, but it never installs. When I try and do it manually (as in by selecting "Install Now"), it goes through most of the process, and then says that it has failed and will try again. It then restarts, tries to install it again, and after about 45 minutes reports that it can't.
I recall reading somewhere that it was caused by an incompatibility with the driver for the built-in webcam, but there were never any solutions presented. Any ideas?

Vista SP1 - Old Conexant HD Audio drivers

Windows Update didn't offer me the option of installing Vista SP1 on my Lenovo 3000 v200 (0764-33G) whereas it appeared on other machines. I checked all the driver versions as per the following page:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=948343#method5
It seems that the only old driver out of those listed on the page and installed on this machine is the following:
Conexant HD Audio version 4.19.1.0
I have checked for a newer driver on both Lenovo's support page and through Lenovo System Update but haven't found any. Does anyone know if there's an updated version of this driver anywhere, and if not, when is a newer version expected to be released through Lenovo System Update?
Thank you.

I have the same problem with drivers for Authentec fingerprint reader on my N200 0769-BRG. Are there any updates planned to support Vista SP1 ?

Boot Camp and Vista SP1

Hi. I have a Macbook Pro running Leopard and Vista. Is it safe to install Vista SP1 in Boot Camp 2.0? I haven't heard of too many issues, but just making sure it wasn't going to break anything. Thanks.

I'm having the exact issues as webcat, but I'm on an iMac 2.8 (early 2008) ATI video & 4GB using 10.5.4/5.
The BC util worked fine through partitioning (32GB) and Vista-SP1 (Ultimate) install, and the the OS-X CD-1 driver update - but once in Vista the stated symptoms showed up. I had initially ran Windows Update, but no Vista Ultimate updates were found. There was also an attempt to run some Apple software update but the pop-up went away before I had a chance to read it.
I have down loaded the BCUpdateVista32.exe and tried to run that (GUI) a few times, but it always fails with the "Boot Camp UI transform Update has stopped working" error - faulting module listed as ntdll.dll 6.0.6001.18000.
So, where to now is my question? I have seen some hope from the Cmd-Line 'softwareupdate' method, or I can run through the registry and 'purge/change' as deemed needed. The confounding thing is that the BC 2.1 update is a Windows EXE, so I need to work in that environment to get it installed, and I had presumed that with my updated 10.5.4/5 before I started, that BC would have been at the v2.1 level.
It seems I may yet need to burn a CD of drivers and and update the supplied OS-X drivers with the BC 2.1 items - is this possible?
Thanks for any help and direction with this.

Vista SP1 - CF Service will not start

Running Vista Business. Life was good, I was productive! (CF 8 btw).
After installing Vista SP1, CF service will not start. Digging a little deeper, turns out JRUN can't fire off "coldfusion", one of the servers listed. Here is the error:
04/06 11:49:20 error Failed to create new connection
java.net.SocketException: select failed
at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketAccept(Native Method)
at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.accept(PlainSocketImpl.java:384)

at jrun.jms.core.kernel.mipc.MultiplexConnectionServer.run(MultiplexConnectionServer.java:15 4)
Some digging turned up the possiblity that the jndi.properties file isn't being read. Changed permissions on it to let everyone in. Heck, you guys can probably get at it right now form where you are its so open!
More digging, turns out Windows Firewall like to block port 2930, which is apparently used for internal communication with jndi settings or some such. Opened that up. Found evidence of further internal communication on port 900, opened that up to.
Found this very useful and a bit scary info about missing DLLs and so forth:
http://www.communitymx.com/content/article.cfm?page=6&cid=224AA
Found reference to the updated Vista TCP/IP stack being a culprit in some cases, which often seemed to come down to, get this, a new host file entry for localhost: ::1 localhost. Commented that out, still no joy.
Tried reinstalling. Still no go.
Pretty much exhausted all possibilities I was able to think of or find info about.
Any ideas or similar experiences? Or, failing that, the address of a tall building to jump off? Thanks!

Read the manual?!?! No way, never! That would be like... stopping at a gas station to ask for directions!
But seriously, I did poke around there a bit. I do tend to forget that there is more to there is more there than the language reference.
Never been stuck like this though. Probably done over 100 installs dating back to CF4 on just about all windows flavors but have never had to dig in to the guts of the underlying Java like this.
Thinking it has to be something unique to this machine; I have done other Vista installs of CF8 with only minimal issues (typically having to set the service to run under an account that has permissions, maybe even set jrun.exe and jrunsvc.exe to execute under an admin account, but thats about it). Unfortunately, partially because of the environment we operate in, a fresh workstation install is a good day and half to two day ordeal.
Help me Obi Wan, you're my only hope!

MacBook Pro sleep problems with Vista SP1

Has anyone faced sleep problems on a MacBook Pro after installing Vista SP1?
I run Boot Camp 2.0 with the latest update from Apple.
IDT finally issued a compatible Vista driver for my Sigmatel audio.
I was very happy for the first time running Vista on my Apple when I had the stupid idea to upgrade to SP1.
After days of troubleshooting with Windows support it is obvious that SP1 and my MacBook Pro are incompatible for some obscure reasons. The latest time I tried SP1 was through Windows Update, which means that Windows detected no compatibility issues, such as drivers.
I suspect Apple-in-sight driver without any evidence, just a hint.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hibernation seems iffy. Have you tried disabling hibernation? and when you say sleep, what happens? won't wake or what?
Normally I don't recommend resetting NVRAM or SMU but for sleep you might want to.
And yes, trying to rule out why can be difficult. But I would not blame SP1. Maybe BC 2.1.
Do you have a book dealing with Vista? or looked for articles or forums that deal with Vista? There is one for Vista64 - assume you have 32-bit though. Google is often best way to find things in Apple discussions or knowledge base, too.
