Failing to install windows 8.1/7/ any kind of windows on my imac,seeking help foreal

Hey there. It's going to be a long post since I've messed with it for 4 days, and still no success even in the time I'm currently writing this message - the furthest I got is having tons of crashes and black screens. And now I can't even reclaim my lost harddrive space (resizing partitions doesn't work anymore).
I'll start with that I already tried to make Bootcamp work about a year ago, but then quit it out of no success and reverted all the changes. But this time my situation is different - I'm pretty sure something messed up in the middle and now I'm seeking help and answers to my questions. And here we go - one bright day I decided to install Windows 8.1 as a secondary boot system on my iMac for personal reasons. I went and added Bootcamp's ability to make a bootable USB on my mac by changing the plist file, and finally had the option to do so. Then got an ISO of Windows 8.1's installation, burned it to a DVD with disk utility (on the lowest speed) and here's already where my problems started. The disk failed to burn for some unknown reason, even though when I compared the contents it had the exactly same thing in both the ISO and the DVD. Weird isn't it? I still tried to boot it - and guess what? the DVD booted but it had the non-EFI interface (huge and pixelated). Anyway when I pressed next I had some weird driver errors, so I decided to use an USB instead (1 DVD wasted so far). I used Bootcamp to create a bootable USB with drivers and went to boot it. The USB booted perfectly fine under the name "EFI Boot" and then I reached the partitions screen.. Obviously I had weird errors again (GPT/MBR stuff). One tutorial on the web suggested creating a partition for the windows rather than using the Bootcamp pre-made one. I followed it by booting my main system, and using disk utility to delete the Bootcamp partition. Later on I booted again to the installation and created a new partition from the partitions screen. Windows created two partitions - a Microsoft reserved partition, and the secondary partition which is used for the windows files. After some time the windows finally booted for the first time. It took pretty long but went smooth - until it finally booted. Since here the problems returned - the Windows crashed every 5 minutes from a driver error (that's AFTER I installed the Apple drivers right after the system finished booting), I googled it and followed various tuts but it still wasn't fixed. I decided to quit using 8 since I liked 7 more anyway (I currently have it installed as a virtual system in Parallels), so I decided to install 7 instead of 8 since I never had any issues with it. Booted up my main system again - went to Bootcamp Assistant, USB creation. ISO file + drivers on the USB. I reboot. Holding ALT and... my mac can't even see the USB drive! Luckily I had 4 more installations (various ISOs) of Win 7, so I decided to try them. I tried ALL the Installations I in none of them my mac could see the USB drive (I wonder how my USB survived all this rewriting on it...) Again to Google we go. I researched a bit and realized that I'm missing a file called xboot64.efi in the "efi/boot" folder, which can be taken from windows. I tried extracting it from install.wim but none of my archiving apps could open it (I tried Unarchiver, Keka, 7zX, terminal's unrar command and more, none could!). I also realized my Win 8 installation had this file so I added it to the Win 7 USB. Now my mac could see the USB in the boot screen - and it booted. I saw the "loading files" screen, and after one minute of it... black screen. I waited 10 minutes. Then 30. An hour. Still a pure black screen. I thought something is wrong with my file, and read that this file is also found in an already installed Win 7, so I went to parallels and took it from here, then added it to my installation. Again my mac could see the USB, but still no luck. When I pressed enter to boot from it, nothing happened as if the boot screen was stuck - the drive was selected but it didn't do anything. I waited long time again and decided to stop waiting. I tried to burn another DVD, this time with Titanium Toast. Again the DVD failed to burn, and when I checked the content, it was the same as the ISO I tried to burn from (official ISO from Microsoft of Windows 7 Ultimate SP1). I went and booted it - this time I saw again "Windows" and "EFI Boot"in the boot screen, both with a disc icon. "EFI Boot" didn't load like the usb previously (loads forever), so I booted the "Windows" thing. The setup loaded, and finally I could see the installation window. Reached the partitions screen... and here the problems returned once again. An error along the lines of that Windows can't be installed on a GPT partition. Some tuts on YouTube and in Google suggested to simply format the problematic partition. And so I did - yet the problem wasn't fixed. After messing with all that for one more day - trying different installations, ways to boot the USB and DVDs, formatting the Windows partition etc, I decided it's time to stop messing with it since luck definitely isn't in my side when it comes to Bootcamp (and for the record, I never had any issues with OSX, but when I tried adding windows to it.. eh, you can guess.) I booted back to my normal system, and went to disk utility to delete the partitions. The Windows partition was deleted easily, but the Microsoft reserved one.. not so quite. (by the way when I boot into it I get a Win 8.1 error screen that tells me to repair the system, since I formatted the Win partition itself). Until this very moment I still can't delete the reserved partition and return my beloved 30gb that I lost because of the resizing (I can't resize my Mac HD partition).
I'm really desperate now. I tried everything and the furthest I got is getting a broken Windows 8.1 (which I deleted later), destroying 5 DVDs, shortening the lifespan of my USB drive, and googling errors the whole day for 4 days in a row. And now I can't even return my lost 30gb even after I decided to quit it. Please help or suggest me what to do, whether it's about how to successfully install Win 7 or to return my lost gigabytes, any kind of help is appreciated. If you managed to read so far, thank you for reading my post and I hope you'll be able to assist me and get me out of this situation.

Read the Boot Camp Help first. Boot Camp does not yet support Windows 8.1 http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/system-requirements. If you insist on installing 8.1 use a virtual machine like parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox.

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? Are they also 800736FD, or some other number? (If they're another number, what number are you getting?)

Failed to Install The New Preview Build. Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80246007: FBL_AWESOME1501 9926 Professional.

Hello,
I'm having issues upgrading my Windows 10 Technical Preview installation build 9879 to a newer build that's become available late January 23rd.
I am installing the new upgrade in a Hyper-V virtual machine and get the following error:
Failed to install the new preview build, please try again later. 0x80246007
What could be the problem?
Previously I've had messages that Windows cannot be upgraded on a computer with less than 2 Gbyte of RAM. That's a Hyper-V VM with dynamic memory and I was highly surprised to see this error; never had this before. Had to set 2048 Mbytes as a minimum memory
for this VM. Now that I have this 80246007 error code.
When looking up System log, the following error messages are listed multiple times:
Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80246007: FBL_AWESOME1501 9926 Professional.
The errors are returned for the Event ID 20 by WindowsUpdateClient
in task category Windows Update Agent..
I reviewed the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability
registry key as suggested in Windows
Insider stuck on build 9841 - "No new preview build was found", and here is what it shows:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability]
"BranchName"="fbl_awesome1501"
"ThresholdRiskLevel"="low"
"ThresholdOptedin"=dword:00000001
Note, when attempting to install the downloaded update from a native boot, installation starts with no errors.
However, since setup is not supported for a natively booted VHD files, it does not proceed further showing a message that installation on virtual drives is not supported.
Looks like Setup is having problems installing in a Hyper-V virtual machine.
Possibly, some ESD files got corrupted during downloading? Is it possible to remove them and re-download missing files? (I, however, noticed that Windows seems to re-download upgrade files after you restart 9879 and attempt to check for a new build.
Any clue why installing under VM causes 9926 to fail?
Thank you in advance.
Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...

Hi,
According to the error message, this problem seems like update package installation failed during system upgrade.
You can try to remove ESD file which locate at boot of C drive and upgrade the system again for test.
On the other hand, make sure the system 9879 installed all Windows pushed updates before system upgrade.

Windows did not detect any networking hardware, Windows 7, New Hard Drive

Message "Windows did not detect any networking hardware"
Satellite P505 S8980 Windows 7 Home Premium.
I replaced the Toshiba 500 GB HD with 500 GB Seagate.
Device Manager icon for any device with yellow exclamation mark,
Click on "Update Driver". Lan eNet details as follows:
Antheo - R8132 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.20)
Browse to the folder where the setup program has the driver...
Message: "The best driver software is already installed."
(But the yellow exclamation mark still harasses me.)
--- Go to "Setup new connection" ---
"Choose a connection option"
Click on "Connect to the Internet"
Response: "Windows did not detect networking hardware"
As near as I can tell, that translates from error 0x8E5E0247
I have this same error on other yellow exclamation marks respective of what kind of device it is.
=> To test my sanity, I put the old hard drive (same size) back in and except for the impact of slowness due to error retries, everything works okay.
Note:
Same issue (hardware not detected) for Video adapter and Audio.
I bought new USB Wireless adapter to test, and the driver installed but not activated because "not digitally signed", and that same issue fits all the above hardware. I down loaded them from Toshiba, and they are confirmed installed, but not accepted with digitally signed. I have uninstalled and reinstalled with same results.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I'm discovering I am not as well as I thought... running on the AF hard drive which was built with a copy drive from old format drive which was the product of system recovery disc set.
Review for context: Advanced Function HDD
Scenario that exposes harm caused by cloning data from 4K blocks drive to 512 bytes blocked drive (AF)
Toshiba supplied Windows-7 System Restore Discs: to factory state
Then I built the Windows-7 Repair Disc... used later.
Hard drive was replaced when it caused SMART warning at every system boot.
Acronis was only utility that quickly detected problem (3 sectors had permanent read errors.) Active@Disk Image and Power Quest Drive Image (Ghost) did not detect the issue.
I tried Seagate 500 GB and Western digital 500 GB HDD drives as copy target.
That new drive would not boot: "Required source not found"
Booted My newly created Windows-7 repair disc, and used to to fix startup.
See images.
That worked and then the ST9500423AS disc booted.
Now... next day I discovered Window Update is not working.
I get message:
Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You need to restart your computer.
I ran Microsoft Fixit for updates. It says it fixed two items.
I still have the problem.
The service shows "started"
Control Panel/ ACTION Center/ Maintenance/ Check for Updates
"No action needed"
"Windows Update does not require any action"
I checked Update History...
... It is empty, else window is vacant... blank.
Soooo..... for a sanity check, I swap out hard drive; go back to the old format (which is the one I copied).
It works! 7 updates to install, including SP1... but I did NOT install them.
Switch back to the AF drive... Update doesn't work. I am broke again.
Is this another strange problem caused by the Advance Format issue?
What to do?
By the way... I did install an Intel storage Matrix driver update, but I do not have RAID chip, so that driver is not for me... unless I missed out on something.

Why are the open windows not listed in any kind of order?

It's bad enough there's no menu showing all the open tabs, but why does the dropdown menu for open Windows not be in ANY order whatsoever? It would certainly stop having to look up and down the list every time I want to go to a different window if they were in either alphabetical or chronological order.

The windows listed in the Window menu are in chronological order starting with the oldest window near the top and the newest window at the bottom.
The problem might be that you've opened a new tab in an old window. The windows are still listed in the same order but now they have the name of the newest tab.
In my screenshot I opened this question in a new tab in my oldest window.

CS3 After installing or defining custom brush, any brush I use is off center! Help! Windows 7 32-bit

When I use Adobe from a fresh install, all is well. But when I define a brush preset or load from a downloaded content, any brush I use will be misaligned with the cursor forever, and not just a consistent spot, random inconsistencies with none centered. I have tried cycling through full screen mode and opening a new file on minimized mode with no luck, same inconsistencies. Please help!
Running Windows 7 32-bit

Could you please post a screenshot with the pertinent Panels (Layers, Brush, Brush Presets, …) visible?
And apply the Brush to a Path (with the Path visible), so the offset becomes clear.

Update will not install. It says close any other Firefox windows currently open, only one open is the update window.

You Tube videos flicker or shuffle very fast, Display expands to the right then slides to the left every second. I might have to uninstall Firefox. This is a mess.

I have downloaded and installed Firefox 3.6.8 and entered. I couldn't get back into the next day. I used EXIT.

Can you Put any kind of RAM in an Imac?

My friend claims he put 512 mb of ram from his pc into his apple Imac. I don't think that sounds reasonable. Is this possible, and if so would the performance be any good?

Confirm that it meets the specs Apple specifies, easiest way is usually to check
http://www.crucial.com/mac/
Then run Memtest to insure it passes (no matter what you buy or have installed).
RAM can vary from the same vendor and it is possible that "A" works, "B" works, but put both in the same system and they won't.
Another reliable vendor is
www.ramjet.com
Even OWC carries Micron/Crucial as well as Samsung (they may have stopped, I don't see it as often now due to its high price?).
As long as the timing, voltage, SPD and CAS Latency all "match up" - it might! Does that sounds like it is worth a roll of the dice... ?

IMac will no longer boot ANY version of Windows CD/DVD

I have a 20" unibody iMac 8,1 that originally came with Leopard and has been upgraded to Snow Leopard (currently 10.6.1). During Leopard days, it had Boot Camp running Windows XP (for games) and worked fine. At some point, boot camp was removed and the system was returned to a single partition. Recently, I've decided to install Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit (retail cd) and so went through the Boot Camp Assistant to create a new boot camp partition and launch the Windows installer DVD. After going through the partition process successfully, the Windows 7 DVD failed to boot, ending in a black screen with a flashing underscore ( _ ). I tried to boot the Windows 7 DVD several times with the same result. Thinking that somehow the Windows 7 DVD was damaged, I got out my Windows XP install CD and tried to boot that, with the same result (black screen blinking underscore _ ). I tried this with a retail copy of Vista Ultimate 32 bit, with the same result. I have run Disk Utility and verified the disk contains no errors. I have tried manually forcing the boot to the Windows install DVD/CD's by holding Alt during boot, and manually clicking on them, with the same result. I have backed up the entire HD with Super Duper and erased the disk and then restored the from Super Duper copy, in case there was a problem with the partition table. All with same result, blinking underscore on a black screen when attempting to boot off Windows install media.
This machine used to have boot camp successfully running XP under Leopard. Now I can't even boot from a Windows install CD/DVD (any kind of windows). What has happened? Did the Snow Leopard installation change something? Is there a firmware update that is needed? I have tried resetting PRAM and SMC with no result. I am out of ideas. All of these windows install disks work fine if I boot them with my MacBook Pro. It's just the iMac that won't boot a Windows install DVD/CD, of any kind.
Help!

I can boot both Snow Leopard and Leopard install disks, no problem. I cannot boot ANY version of Windows install disk (XP, Vista, 7). My Super Duper backup was a backup of my Snow Leopard install to reformat the drive, since one theory was that the partition table was messed up. No go.

Muse CC fails to install

Hi guys,
I'm reposting it as no one found a solution to my post...
I'm getting the error trying to install Muse CC on Windows.
Using Adobe Cleaner Tool, as in other posts people recommend, doesn't help as Muse doesn't appear on the list of applications to remove (as it fails to install in the first place).
Reinstalling Creative Cloud desktop application didn't help either.
Creating Admin accountdidn't work either...
I'm on Windows 7.
Any suggestions? I'm at my wits' end...

Hi Brad,
Thank you for reply.
Yes, I am running the latest version of AIR and Flash Player as well.
Here's the error:
Exit Code: 7
Please see specific errors below for troubleshooting. For example, ERROR:
-------------------------------------- Summary --------------------------------------
- 0 fatal error(s), 1 error(s)
----------- Payload: Adobe Muse 5.0.0.0 {9A554C9D-E12D-4205-8101-9F4337CD5673} -----------
ERROR: Third party payload installer InstallAdobeMuse.exe failed with exit code: 10

Failed to install : error code 1

I cannot get the installer to complete installation. It gets about half way through the down load then gives me an Adobe Installer error box indicating:
We've encountered the following issues:
Creative Cloud desktop failed to install. (Error code: 1)
Any suggestions ?

hi,
Which OS are you using? Do you have any other Adobe software installed on your machine?

Difficulty installing Rescue and Recovery 4.2 patch for Windows Vista

Which between System Update Installation History and Post-Installation Status Report should I believe, when they tell a different story?
When I run thinkVantage System Update, the post-intallation status report indicates that the following fails to install:
* Rescue and Recovery 4.2 patch for Windows Vista
* ThinkVantage Client Security Solution for Vista SP1
* Lenovo Wireless WAN Activation Patch
However, when I open the ThinkVantage System Update History Log, I read that the above updates have been installed.
Which one should I believe?
I'm willing to believe that the update has been installed, but whenever I run System Update, I keep getting the same message that the above three need to be installed.
Should I keep ignoring the message? If not, what else could I try?
I have a T60 running Vista with SP1 installed.

Hi privard,
Thanks for your feedback. Anyhow, let me see how i could help to sort this out for you.
