Cant install Windows as PVM - Linux works properly

I am playing recently witn OVM 3.1.1.
Everything is fine LInux (RedHat, Oracle Enterprise LInux) was installed properly using PVM emulation using ftp as mountpoint for iso images - like in documentation.
I can't emulate virtual machines as HVM because this serwer which i am using have not posess hardware emulation (IBM x3950).
So i need to execute virtual machines as PVM, and install operating systems using nfs, http, ftp. I chosed ftp.
And VM prepared for Windows2003 cant execute and is not able get files from shared ftp.
I am constantly getting error:
------------> stderr: Error: Boot loader didn't return any data!
This VM prepared for Windows2003 for sure connecting to my ftp because i can see this in log. After starting VM there is about 12 connections to my ftp, but after this VM shuts down with information above.
Please help me with this issue.
I was digging on google to search info how can i install Windowses on OVM as PVM emulation - there is no info at all about this.
this is my full log

Hello again,
As I said before, the only way to properly run (and also install) a Windows virtual machine under Oracle VM (2.x, 3.x) requires Hardware Virtualization (Intel VT-x or AMD-V).
Check again the link you have provided, right after the table that list the supported Guest OS the following line is displayed:
*"Paravirtualization support for RHEL 3.x and Windows 2008/2003/7/Vista/XP are paravirtualized device drivers only"*
This means that you first need to create and install a Windows HVM using an ISO or a Template both previously imported to your repository. You can't boot a HVM (any OS) using a NFS share or HTTP/FTP server. (You are running a HVM Windows Guest at this point).
Then after the Windows OS is installed, you can install inside the Windows Guest the Oracle Paravirtualized device drivers (_this is optional_) which in almost all cases increase the performance of a Windows Guest running in an Oracle VM enviroment. (You are running a PVHVM Windows Guest at this point, PVHVM stands for Hardware virtualized machine using paravirtualized drivers).
As you can see, both cases for running a Windows Guest in Oracle VM (HVM or PVHVM) requires Hardware Virtualization.

Hi Andreas,
Please specify your hardware and software. Running OSX? Which version? Old hardware/new hardware?
It is not sure what your problem is: is it that the CD will not eject? Or is it that the winbdows cd is not installing?

Cant install windows with bootcamp only BSoD

yesterday i install mountain lion on my mbp late 2011 and cant install windows with bootcamp now i only became BSoD.
can anyone help me?

(OS X Lion) cant install windows on HD with multiple partitions

I have installed os x 10.7 lion the day it rolled out from the app store and everything was good. But now, I decided to re-install windows 7 on my macbook on lion. I currently have 2 partitions: 1 for media files and the main partition for the os files. But I cant use boot camp because it keeps on notifying me that i can only have one partition so I could install windows through boot camp. Is that the thing with lion, when I was able to do the same with snow leopard?
Now, I figured that I could not really do anything about and decided to install windows on a single partition and everything went well, though I am still sick that I had to copy everything on one parition.
My next question is: how come that after everytime I get to install windows, the partition does not recognize it anymore after I try to divide the mac partition on disk utility? Here's the scenario, I am able to install windows properly, so I boot to the lion parition and divide it into 2 through disk utility (making the total number of partitions to 3), so I could have one partition I could access both on windows and lion, but after that, when I try to boot windows, the system does not recognize the boot camped anymore. Do I have to stick with just 2 partitions(1 for lion and 1 for windows)? Or there is something wrong with my windows installation?
I am certain that I do not erase the windows partition as I can still the files on that partition through the finder.
I am in need of serious help here. Please.

Greetings,
Use Fusion, or Parallels. They are better for running Winblows, and you don't have to reboot in to it, you simply run Win 7 as an app. I have tried Boot Camp, a few times since it first came available, and it has always been cumbersome, and problematic, to use, and allows typical Winblows issues to happen. Running Win 7 virtual seems to not have those same issues.
Until I retire, soon, I still have to use Windows, along with Macs, Linux, and UNIX, but after that, it all goes, except for the Macs - no more headaches.
Give Fusion, or Parallels a try, they are cheap, and work really well.
Cheers,
M.

Cant install windows on new ssd

Hi, Im new in this forum, so sorry for my bad english
I have a problem which is killing me... today I bought new Transcend SSD370 256GB hard drive. I write windows 8 to bootable usb drive. When I launched setup, choosed custom installation, then it shows just one drive with unallocated space almost 256gb, when I try to push button next for instalation I get error "we couldnt install windows in the location you choose. please check your media drive. 0x80300024 ." then I tried to creat new partition but got error " we couldnt create partition". I tried google fix for this, I tried use cmd and diskpart comands to do clean on disk 0 , but got error " diskpart has encoutered an error: the request could not be performed because of an i/o device error". intresting thing that I put this SSD to other laptop (asus) and after 5minutes windows was fresh installed... and then when I put SSD with windows that was installed on other laptop I got error that disk is unreadable or some disk error and suggestion to do ctrl alt del for reboot... both laptops ar on ACHI and UEFI is disabled... I dont know what to do next.... Im so depressed... any ideas how to install windows?

ok, yesterday I tried somthink... first I tried install ubuntu on ssd and its worked, ubuntu worked fine. So then I tried again to install windows, I run setup, it showed me 3 partitions that ubuntu made, so I delete them and just pressed next with unallocated disk and boom it showed me istallation progress... but stuck on first step of copying files at 0%... so no windwos... I waited for like 20mins then pressed cancel, it gave me next screen that installation canceled and I was unable to turn off setup... so I just powered off laptop. and then... I cant connect my SSD, my laptop was unable to start at all with that SSD, when I connect it with usb adapter it just stuck at recognizing it, I cant to format it nothing, its like SSD is bricked... I tried again install ubuntu on ssd but installation gave me input output error, so yeah.... now I think its just left to me bring it to the warranty... ;(

Desktop SMS and Windows Mail don't work properly together

Hi
thought I would post there here as been having some issues with my Windows Mail but my desktop computer doesn't suffer same issues and on a Vista forum where I posted my problem a couple of very helpful told me who to try solving the issues.
One of them suddenly realised I'd said my laptop was a Toshiba and apparently the Desktop SMS and Windows Mail just don't work properly together so the person suggested unless I use it to uninstall it apparently amongst the technically trained its known that these two programs don't like each other and would explain why my desktop doesn't have the issue but laptop does.
After resetting the Windows Mail (tutorial on a vista site http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/) Touch wood don't be put off by vistax64 as site does both 32 and 64 and followed Brink's excellent resetting Windows Mail (didn't restore any mail) and then uninstalled Desktop SMS and touch wood no more mail issues as has been giving me problems virtually daily with marking draft emails as read/sent.
So had to click on forward then delete those bits and finish email to send it and touch wood since doing these two things as soon as send an email to draft or outbox get the number of emails in the brackets whereas before this wouldn't happen unless I closed the program then reopened it.
Hoping these solutions have fixed my problem and wanted to share it with anybody else who wants to read this thread and would recommend the Vista 64 site as they're all really helpful over there and speak in non technical terms for those of us not technically trained.
Debbie

I have marked this as answered as it was more a post to help others who may have experienced the same problem I did and didn't get a reply or just didn't know that this program could be the reason their Windows Mail has issues that can't seem to be resolved any other way apart from ignore them and hope they don't get worse.

Cant install windows xp

here's system specs:
¨
p4 3,2ghz
msi 875p neo fisr 2
2*512mb some ram
2*150gb ata harddisks
dvd
cd writer
firewire card
multi card reader
creative audigy 2
it like this.Windows would not start.It comes to login screen and freezes there.So I started to install windows from scratch.I did this before 2 times and there was no problems.
Both harddisks were connected as one on promise ide3 via raid,array 1+0.So i put winxp cd and restart.First problem is i dont get a message if i want to start from cd(i used to gei it before).The install just starts.And it goes find untill first restart.then it restarts and dont ask again if i want to start from cd but just starts from cd and starts install from begining.
Then i desconnected harddisks,removed raid in bios,and connected only on hard to ide2.
I start the pc with winxp cd in and it again dont ask me if i want to start from cd but it only starts,goes good untill first install ,then restarts and instead of continuing install start all from begining.
If i remove the cd sometimes i get ntldr is missing but sometimes i get nothing.pc just restarts.(I tried to install win here maybe 15times untill now).
I tried to put harddisk in another pc and install windows there but i get the same problem.
I reformated hard and check for errors ,no problems found.
I took everything out from pc leaving only nesessery parts ,still the same problem.
So now i just dont know what to do anymore?
I sit with this problem 10days know and have tried everything i could come up with.
Hard is formated with ntfs.Could that be a problem?
Hard is 150gb.Is maybe that the problem?
I say again i have to same harddrives ,samsung 150gb ide.Tried changing them but still the same problem.
It would be very nice if somebody could help me.
Thank you

Hello again.been busy at work these past few days but now i'm back at the problem.
Have tried to install winxp this morning and it went like this:
-removed logo in bios
-restart
-comes check up,showing dvdrom on ide1 master.nothing on others.(i dont have nothing else)
-comes promise bios showing 1* 1+0 stripe 160041 m 19457/255/63 functional
-checking up boot devices,starting install program from cd(not asking me to press the button.starts right away).checking hardware configuration.
-tell me to press F6 if i want and i do it
-after this part finish i load promise fasttr drivers from floppy succesffuly and continue install
-choose only harddisk showing to install winxp
-format drive(ntfs quick format.have done before normal format also)
-when it finish, install loads files to drive
-then it tell me that pc needs to restart and it will continue install upon restart.press enter to restart now or wait untill this bar comes to an end.
-then it restarts and goes through boot,check promise bios(same as before),check for boot devices and then starts install program from cd all over again from the begining.
-install goes good untill the first restart and then again starts all over again.
if i remove cd it tells me:
disk read error
press ctrp+alt+del......................
bios settings:
standard cmos:
secondary ide master: nec_dvd_rw nd_130
on all other is standing not installed (i took everything else out so its okey)

- no
on board promise ide as raid
ddr clock 400mhz
cpu bus clock 200
Just to mention something else also:
I have 3 different winxp cd's and have tried them all so its not the problem with cd.
I have also tried to put harddrive to my older compaq p3 and install win there but i got almost same problems.Also when i connected to my old compaq system as secondary ide it works good but each time when i connected it and disconnected it reports that harddrive is not formated.From my past experience with other hd's it was not like that.So could it be that harddrive is not good.Its few moths old,and i have 2 exactly the same samsung harddrives.Have tried both of them getting the same problems with both.(There is only one harddrive connected to the system now to be clear)
Can you suggest me some good program for checking harddrive for errors?I have used the one from windows,is it good enough?
Well thank you for your time and your help.
Have a nice day!!!

Cant install Windows 7 on MacBook Pro running snow leopard.

I just got a shiny new Macbook Pro and i tried to install Windows 7. I partitioned the drive using Boot Camp assistant and proceeded to install Windows 7. Windows 7 Installation started and then it said it cant find device drivers for CD/DVD drives. Since my Windows 7 disk was stuck inside the drive at this point with no way to eject it, i took the Leopard installation disk and connected it through a external USB DVD drive. Then was able to browse the DVD and look at the Bootcamp drivers. But pointing the windows installer to all the directories still came up with "No device drivers found". Though, my leopard installation disc has a folder called x64 drivers etc... Any suggestions ?
Thanks.

1) BootCamp .rtf at root of Leopard disk:
Double-click setup.exe, in the root level of this disc, to install the following:
• Boot Camp drivers, which allow you to use your Mac-specific hardware with Windows, including your Apple keyboard, mouse, trackpad, and built-in iSight camera. For more information on Boot Camp, see <http://www.apple.com/bootcamp>.
• Remote Install Mac OS X, which allows MacBook Air users on your local network to install Mac OS X using a Mac OS X installation disc in your computer's optical drive. For more information, refer to the MacBook Air User's Guide.
• DVD or CD Sharing, which allows MacBook Air users on your local network to use your computer's optical drive. For more information, refer to the MacBook Air User's Guide.
If you can't find the MacBook Air User's Guide, download it from <http://www.support.apple.com/manuals>.
For more information on installing Boot Camp, restart your Mac in Mac OS X, open Boot Camp Assistant (in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder), and click Print Installation & Setup Guide.
2) You can eject without having right click by clicking desktop Computer icon which opens Windows explorer and a view of drives C:, E;(likely your cd/dvd.) if you highlight this with mouse cursor, you can Eject from column above drive icon.
Using Windows Explorer, In the Boot Camp Folder on the Leopard disk is Setup.exe Running this should install Bcamp & drivers for you.
For me autorun at leopard disk insert has 3 icons to select from; for boot camp installation is third or one on the bottom. Maybe you don't see it due to screen resolution setting.

Dual booting pre-installed Windows 8 and Linux?

I just bought a G780 with Windows 8 pre-installed. Ideally, I would also like to install some flavor of Linux. I've been searching but not finding much info on how difficult or time-consuming this would be, or if there are any special considerations or anything. I've found some guides on dual-booting Windows 8 and Linux but they were all for installing Windows straight from a disk, not anything where it's already pre-installed, and some indicated they thought it might be problematic to use a pre-installed version of Windows. Anyway I was hoping that if anybody has done this on the G780 or even a similar laptop that you could share how it went and any difficulties you encountered. I'm open to using any Linux distro if it'll be easy to install. I would appreciate any info you could share. Thanks.

I had issues with Windows 8 as pre-installed on my G580, my employer at the time was using Windows 7 only and would not allow upgrades for security purposes. I deleted the entire drive (including hidden) knowing at some point I would re-install Windows 8 or later from retail disk when needed.
Linux can resize partitions during the install process, but be careful not to disturb the hidden partition or the windows boot loader in the process. Linux Mint is the best yet for this purpose, OpenSUSE and Fedora failed, CentOS failed and Ubuntu was not able to boot, but did not "hurt" the windows partitions.
Good luck.

its up to you which version of windows do you want to use.
just to tell you that there is a update to your version of bootcamp here Boot Camp Support Software 4.0.4033 to enable it to install windows 7
your video card may be able to play those game at a low setting

Bootcamp only saying "install windows 7" , also not working with install disks

i want to install windows 8.1
as u can see bootcamp only says "install windows 7"
i think that i can't do a usb drive install without deleting everything off the only usb stick i have, right?
so i have an install disc instead, like u used to be able to do
should it be working with a disc?
i have a copy of windows 7 as well, so i even tried to install 7 off a disc and this is the message i get when i have either the 8.1 or 7 disc in the drive and i click "continue"
i also figured it would give me the option of how space to allocate before it asked for the install disk

For Macs with built-in Optical drive, you need the Windows installer on a DVD. What year/model is the Mac? (The option to create USB Installer is missing which is also a clue).
The Windows DVD is identified as 'legitimate'. From Boot Camp 5.1: Frequently asked questions - Apple Support
Which versions of Windows work with Boot Camp 5.1?
Boot Camp 5.1 supports 64-bit, non-Enterprise versions of Windows 7, Windows 8.0, and Windows 8.1. This version of Boot Camp doesn't support Windows XP, Windows Vista, or any 32-bit version of Windows. Depending on your Mac, you may be able to use an earlier version of Boot Camp to work with other versions of Windows. For details, see the Boot Camp system requirements for Microsoft Windows.
