Error message when trying to install a new windows 7

Hi I am using a pavillion dv6 2140ei.  My hard disk crashed so I bought a new one and now when I try to install windows I get a message saying "windows cannot be installed to this disk.  This computers hardware may not support bootingh to this disk.  Ensure that the disks controller is enabled in the comupeters BIOS menu.
I was using windows 7 ultimate 32 bit, which is the same windows I am trying to install now.
Thank you

Hi,
You could disable AHCI in the BIOS settings (if possible). I have also noticed that some people used a live CD of Ubuntu or any other linux live environment and in Disk Utility or the default disk managament app set the drive/partition as bootable. Fdisk should also work.
http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Partition/fdisk_partitioning.html
The boot flag should be in your case(mine as well) on sda1 as the small partition for Windows.

  • I receive the following error message when trying to install QuickTime for Windows "Error writing to file C:/Program Files/QuickTime/QTSystems/QuickTimeCheck.ocx. Verify that you have access to that directory."

    I recieve the following error message when trying to install Quicktime for Windows "Error writing to file C:/Program Files/QuickTime/QTSystems/QuickTimeCheck.ocx. Verify that you have access to that directory."  I just trying to get the latest version of iTunes.  Thanks

    "Error writing to file C:/Program Files/QuickTime/QTSystems/QuickTimeCheck.ocx. Verify that you have access to that directory."
    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • Error Messages when trying to install, uninstall or run iTunes 9

    I get the following error message when trying to Install iTunes:
    The path C:\DOCUME~1\Frank\LOCALS~1\Temp\IXP206.TMP\iTunes.msi cannot be found. Verify that you have access to this location and try again, or try to find the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in a folder from which you can install the product iTunes.
    I search my entire computer for the file but it's not there.
    Then, when I try to uninstall the iTunes and start the install from scratch I get another error:
    "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable"
    Catch-22, I can't install or uninstall and when I try to run iTunes I get:
    "The action is only valid for products that are installed"
    Very frustrating but I'm stumped and I don't know how to proceed. Any help would be very much appreciated.

    wooooooooo!!! got it working again!! having spent the last 6 hours..no joke six f*cking hours trying to sort it ive finally got iTunes back!!
    ok here is what you need to do:
    go to the link below and download the Microsoft Windows Installer CleanUp Facility.
    http://www.locksleynet.com/2009/06/09/missing-itunesmsi-problem-resolved/
    once you have downloaded it, install it and run it from the start menu. once its up and running remove everything to do with iTunes (so iTunes itself, quicktime, bonjour......the lot). Dont worry about removing iTunes completely, all the music is still there when it works again trust me!!
    ok once you have removed everything restart your computer, im not sure if this is a must but i did it.
    next download quicktime from the apple website (go to the 'downloads' tab near the top. download and install quicktime and restart your computer so the new settings are put in to place ( i think it asks you to restart anyway).
    go back to the apple website, 'downloads' tab and download iTunes itself. install that bad boy and you will be up and running with all your library intact!
    Hope it works for you mate!

  • Error message when trying to install Flash 10.0.45.2

    I am running IE 7 on windows XP. We had some issues with Flash active active control version 10.1.53.64 and higher so I unistalled 10.1.53.64 and downloaded the older version (10.0.45.2) from the adobe website but when I try to install it I get the following error "The version of Adobe Flash Player that are trying to install is not the most current version. Please visit http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer to obtain the latest more secure version". I am however able to install version 9.0.289.0
    Is there any particular reason that i cannot install 10.0.
    The reason that I don't want to use 10.1 is because it has a bug that affects the working of my application and the audio some times does not play.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the information. I downloaded the Active X from the link you provided but I am still getting the same error message

    Subject: Error message when trying to install Flash 10.0.45.2
    If I remember correctly, there were two different installers for 10.0.45.2: one that did the checking for a newer version, and one that did not.
    The forum search is currently disabled, and I cannot find the topics that were discussed at the time.
    However, I still have the installers for the non-check version available for download on my servers:

  • TS1394 im getting an error message when trying to install the snow leopard application cd 2. need  help.

    im getting an error message when trying to install the application cd on my Imac os x 10.6.4   what can I do to solve this problem?

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

    I found htis other post https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3401328?start=0&tstart=0
    I also found this in another post
    These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
    Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
    If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? (For example, 8007000B.)
