Houston, we have a problem.. My new K9A2 Platinum will not install an OS

I purchased a K9A2 Platinum (Version 1) and everything went fine with the hookup and install until I went to install the OS.
Here's the set up:
1) 9600 Phenom
2) 4 GB A-Data DDR2 800 RAM (2 2GB Sticks)
3) Diamond HD3870 Video Card.
4) 260 GB WD Caviar Sata Drive
5) LG 18x DVD
note I also Have a 160 GB PATA WD Caviar as well.. more about the in a minute.
I hooked everything up Sata drive as Sata 1 and DVD as Sata 2,
Checked BIOS to be sure everyone was recognized.
Tried to install Vista 64 bit.
Entered Location, activations etc..
and Install began
1) Copied files
2) Expanded files
3) Updated system
(no errors occured during these steps)
System rebooted and got the message Windows is booting for the first time etc...
Then to the finalizing Installation line, which... well.. never gets final (I've left it on that screen for 3+ hours).. Sometimes it locks up.
I tried installing Windows XP and I get through all of the installation, but when it reboots to WIndows from the DVD.. It can't find the OS..
I installed the PATA drive and tried installing Vista to it with no difference in the results. I suspect I am doing something stupid here (I have done this before.. it's my fifth build and never a problem before). A note that on the PATA if I use the Chip Select jumper (Out of the box settings) Everything's recognized but it sets it up as a slave. IF I set it as a lone master the BIOS recoginizes it, but windows doesn't. If I set it up as a master.. the system doesn't post. I am going to try to install XP on the PATA and see if that works, However I want to run Vista on this beast, so even if it does, well I still need help..
Yes I promise, this is all a cry for help... If anyone has any ideas I'd surely be apreciative.. In fact I'd be so appreciative I'd help you remove an garbage (viruses, spyware etc..) for free (ok I do that for free anyway.. I'm cajuntek everywhere I go on the net.. You can find me in the Security Cleanup forum at dslreports most often.. Thanks again for any help you guys can provide on this.

I don't trust [Auto] Vmem in the BIOS.
First, Cajuntek, I would try beta BIOS 1.33.
You can download it from http://www.magnaroute.com/deliver/
This BIOS has been very stable for me, MSI Tech Support gave it to me to attempt to solve memory stability I have had with 4x dual rank memory modules. It doesn't fix that problem but it does make the system more stable and compatible over the publicly released BIOSes as far as I can tell.
I would also suggest you put in a fixed voltage value in the BIOS for your memory. I use 2.3V because I am overclocking. You can probably use 2.0V or 2.1V. It is possible that the [Auto] setting may be giving your system too little voltage on the memory and that may be causing your lockup.

I cannot reinstall PSE 10. I have disabled all virus protection. It will not install "Shared Technog

I cannot re-install PSE 10. I have disabled all virus prorection. It will not install "Shared Technologies"

If running (check Task Manager) end the ElementsAutoAnalyzer and DynamicLinkManager processes. Then run the installer by right-clicking it and selecting Run as Administrator. That has always worked for me in past versions of PSE, although others report it didn't for them. Certainly worth a try.

New Vista Drivers will not install/w

Ok, so i uninstalled my old creative beta drivers through the vista program uninstall, along with uninstalling the device within device manager. Then, I rebooted the computer and ran the new driver exe. once it went into the install program after unpack it said:
"you have previously installed drivers without rebooting, please reboot and try again"
so i reboot again (even though i have yet to install anything.....same problem...
I tried deleting my windows temp folder and still no luck.
Then, i tried copying the unpacked folder "CF000" or whatever its called and directly tell device manager to grab the drivers from there.
Now it lists the x-fi in device manager but with this error after restart:
"This device cannot start. (Code 0)
Click 'Check for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available."
PLEASE help. Now i have no sound and i can not install the old beta drivers because they now give me the same crap "you have tried installing without reboot bla bla bla"

Ok, so I finally got it to work. I am not sure what i did differently to be honest. I did the same thing that I did 0 times before: erased windows temp folder, erased any folder labeled creative after running a search, uninstalled the device via device manager... and suddenly the install ran to completion. Does my audio work now? yes. Was it probably the biggest pain I have ever had to install drivers? yes, by far. I am not trying to slam creative because hey, at least I have working drivers.... but oh man was it a pain in the ###. I can see why people go for on board audio now...

New Exchange panel will not install

I came looking for a specific pattern. Nope, you have to download a panel. I downloaded it, clicked on it and a tiny panel with miniscule writing came up, gray on gray. I had to use a magnifying glass to read the text. "Exchange cannot instll" because a huge list of products might be needed and weren't there. But they were, Further, the panel had to be killed by Ctrl-Alt-Del.
This seems to be the Adobe Way. Throw away your users, commit to some insecure Cloud that at least half our clients will not accept and then lose all their data. The web site is chaotic, unbelievably slow and utterly impenetrable. I truly despair. This used to be a good company.

Well, what I have done since the problem emerged is the following. I found that the Extension Manager was CS5 - I didn't even know that I had it, so presumably it installed with CS5. So why not CS6? Nevr mind, let's download CS6. Around 110 megabytes later, I had a .zip file. This unbundled into two directories, one containing all manner of subdirectory, the other a file called "setup.exe".
Very well, click the setup.exe. Up comes a panel, setup unable to run, download yet another utility, the "Adobe Support Advisor". Nine point something megabytes later, yet another file to hand. Click to run, scrunch: Windows throws a Message that "Air application manager has died" or some such, and ditches the process.
So:
1: The basic download manager does not work on a very straightforward, very much up to date Win7pro setup.
2: The manager-of-the-manager doesn't work either.
3: Their diagnose-the-manager-of-the-manager does not work either. (I tried this on two other Win7 machines and it doesn't work on them.)
So, find patterns on the web. Plan to replace all Adobe products.
This is pre-Beta stuff, outrageous in a commercial application. I have wasted a Sunday trying to get this rectified for the week ahead. Really, Adobe used to feel like a Rolls Royce company: expensive, but everything worked. Now it has that "rushing after its own tail" feel of so many US IT companies, all facade and piss on the customer.

K9A2 Platinum - Will not post... need help.

mobo: k9a2 platinum
cpu: am2 6400 black edition OR phenom 9750
ram: super talent ddr2 800 OR corsair dominator ddr2 1066 - have both been tried single stick only
video card: msi nvidia 9600gt OR ati x300 - used ati card to test video card failure
power supply: 610w pc power and cooling
hdd: seagate barracuda 250gb 32mb cache
OK... original configuration, being the phenom 9750 with the corsair dominator ram, and the nvidia 9600gt.
would not post, black screen... with 2 fast short beeps(1 long beep?) and 6 short beeps, for a beep code... which isn't even covered in the manual or anywhere online for some reason
it has been stated that the bios has to be flashed to the latest version in order to accept the phenom processors... so i then took a am2 6400 and put it in.
proceeding with the same beeps, i took out the ram and replaced it with a stick of super talent ddr2 800, dimm1 slot, single channel. it's also been stated in various comments that this motherboard doesn't initially accept dual channel, nor 1066 ram. i get the same beeps out of the dimm1 slot. i take the stick out and place it in the dimm3 slot... beeps go away, but the black screen remains.
i try different video card configurations, trying the two different video cards in either of the two pci-x 16 slots, black screen remains. in my last configuration, the beeps come back, so i am at a total loss.
anybody able to help me out?

Have you done >>Clear CMOS Guide<< yet? (With power cord removed from the PSU)
What keyboard you use?
Have you connected power cable for VGA?

K9A2 Platinum will not post - nothing on screen

System info:
CPU: Phenom 9850
Memory: Corsair dominator 2x1GB 1066
Graphics: DIAMOND VIPER HD RADEON 3850 512MB/VISIONTEK HD RADEON 3650 512MB
Power: ANTEC 850W TPQ
Disks: WD RAPTOR SATA 150GB 10,000 RPM x 2
I put my system together this weekend and when I powered on, I got nothing on the screen. Unfortunately I don't have a PC speaker in the case, so I cannot here any audio beeps.
Before power on the motherboard shows an orange LED on. When I power on. two additional motherboard lights are on, both bluish - nothing in the documentation about what these are. The graphics card powers on as far as I can tell - the fan is running - as is the CPU fan. I have removed all other components like CD, disks etc. to just try to get POST screen visible. I also changed the graphics card to one that required a lot less power (VISIONTEK), but nothing happens. I tried moving the graphics cards around into different PCI-E slots as well, still no luck.
Its likely that the motherboard BIOS version is not correct for the CPU - 9850 requires BIOS 1.4 and I doubt that this MB BIOS is this version, but MSI tech support tell me that the board should still POST. Obviously I can't flash the BIOS if I have no screen.
I have reset the using jumper switch and removed CMOS battery; no luck. I also just put in one memory stick and this made no difference. Tried placing the graphics card in different PCI-E slots as well.
There is no information for me to determine the motherboard state so its very hard to figure out what to do next other than send it back.
Thanks, Rick.

Vista would not install either from my SATA DVD player; I don't think it has the drivers to do this from a SATA DVD, so I assume I'll have to use an IDE attached one for the install. I am sure it will be fun!
Rick.
Vista should install just fine from your SATA DVD drive since it should have all the drivers built in needed to use the SATA drives. All I did when I installed Vista; was go into the bios and tell it to boot off the DVD drive first and put the Vista DVD in the drive.
What message do you see when you try to install Vista? It could be more of a memory issue; since Vista is very tempermental and not as tolerant as XP; when it comes to the memory voltages and timings.

Carbon X1 2014 - New Touchpad firmware will not install

Hi,
Becuase of the very fiddegy Touchpad on my new Carbon X1 2014 (20A8) I was looking forward to installing the new firmware update realeased 19 Aug 2014, becuase it should address some of the annoying issues I have with the touchpad.
According to the readme file, my computer is supported, but when I run the SynReflash.exe to upgrade, I consistently get this message back: "Reflash cannot find firmware updates for the devices on this system".
What's wrong here?? Can you help?
PS. Running Windows 8.1 Update 1 (x64). The UltraNav driver (18.0.7.40) is installed and working, even though I have to disable all gesture support to get a somwhat predictable mouse action when using the touchpad.
Some help would be great.
Thanks.

I would like to have a response in this forum from Lenovo. We are more people with touchpad problems and issues with installing the latest firmware update for the Synaptics 'pad'.
I checked the version of the touchpad and it's: TM-2937, FW 1581359.
Is the firmware update not designed to work with this touchpad in my Carbon X1? If not, then why is my X1 (20A8) listed as a supported device in the firmware text file???
Some help or clarification please.....
Thank you.

New Ilife '09 will not Install on New 24" Imac but installed fine on IBookG

Can someone explain what is going on with this new Ilife '09 DVD? I recieved it today and found that after 2 attempts to upgrade on my brand new IMAC there was nothing ugraded. However, when I inserted the disk in my IBookG4 the software was downloaded and installed perfectly.
Curious note, when I actually looked at the "customized" install on the new IMac, it shows there is NO data( meaning 0MB) where when I put it into the IBook G4 it had MB after each application.
Is there something I don't know that is blocking this upgrade on my new IMAC? Is the DVD unable to read in my new IMac. HELP!!!

By super search with the spotlight, I discovered that the ILife '09 installed on the HD and the ILife'08 appswere sitting in my User name "house". I clicked on the each of the new Apps on the HD and each one of the '09 updates occurred. Needless to say I am up and running. Thank you for responding. Issue resolved.

Hello flarogue7
This issue means there is certain issue with your HOSTS file.
Just navigate to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc on your computer, rename the HOSTS file and try to install. It will install.
