Installation failed on disk 2 - I/O error - now I am stuck - HELP

Reinstalling the operating system - disk 1 works ok, then during the garageband loadup on disk 2 the log shows I/O error. The installation then says "try again", which will only accept the second disk again. The cancel keys, and all menu items are greyed out. Guess what - retry and the error comes up again!!! After 6 retries, there appears to be nothing to do. I have tried rebooting the machine via keeping the power key held in. Power back up, and it goes back to the same position. In desperation, I took the power plug out for 2 minutes. Put the power back in, and it starts up to the same prompt. So I cannot do anything at all. Does anyone know how to restart the machine? I think the operating system has gone in, it is oly gargeband that hasnt loaded, and I dont use it. I am not very technical, but my machine is now totally disabled. Help!!!

I'm having the same problem too, I do however have a lead that I'm trying out now...
Insert Disc 1
Before it spits it out, turn off your Mac.
Wait a few moments to let the HD stop spinning.
Hold down C (yes that's the button C on the keyboard) and turn your Mac back on. Keep C held down until the Language Preference appears.
This takes you back to the beginning of the installation.
At this present time I'm trying to reinstall OS X without all the other bobbins, hoping that Garageband (which I may add I have never used) wont install and thus saving any problems (and my time).
More later...

Oracle Enterprise Linux 6.1 Installation Fails during Disk Partitioning

Hi,
I've tried to install Oracle Enterprise Linux 6.1 by creating a Virtual Machine using Oracle VM Virtual Box in my laptop with Window XP host OS (NTFS filesystem), by following the below steps.
1) Installed Oracle VM Virtual Box
2) Created a new Virtual machine using a virtual box by specifying the two .iso images i.e OracleLinux-R6-U1-Server-i386-dvd.iso and boot.iso as the boot device and by specifying the following Disk files (.vdi) as follows.
2.1) Oracle_Enterprise_Linux_6_1_Root_Disk_1.vdi - For the / (i.e Root) partition - Dynamically expanded storage - 10 GB - ext4
2.2) Oracle_Enterprise_Linux_6_1_Swap_Disk_1.vdi - For the swap partition - Dynamically expanded storage - 10 GB - swap
2.3) Oracle_Enterprise_Linux_6_1_User_Disk_1.vdi - For the /usr partition - Dynamically expanded storage - 20 GB - ext4
2.4) Oracle_Enterprise_Linux_6_1_Home_Disk_1.vdi - For the /home partition - Dynamically expanded storage - 10 GB - ext4
But while installing OEL 6.1 after specifying the partitions, the installer get hung and throws an error as bug while creating the ext4 filesystem on /dev/sda1.
I tried to specify the default 8 GB for all the above four partitions, the installer successfully continues without any issues. But if i specify any partition more than 8 GB, it fails.
Is there anyway I can solve this problem by creating the above specified partitions with the above size ? Why does it fail if i specify any size more than 8 GB ?
Thanks
Harish

8 GB is a common limit for systems were the boot loader or system BIOS imposes an addressable space limit for the boot partition. In such situations, the system boot partition has to fit within the first 8 GB physical boundary of the harddrive.
Your setup seems a bit unusual. Why do you create separate disks for each Linux partition?
Normally the Linux installer creates necessary partitions on the disk, including a /boot partition that is usually only 100 MB in size.
What are you doing with boot.iso? You should be able to start the system from the main installation DVD or .iso image. You might also want to install x86_64 Linux, unless your hardware is really very old and does not support the 64-bit extension. You can run 32-bit software on a n 64-bit OS, but not the other way around and you will limit your software to 32-bit only.

When trying to burn files to a DVD (DVD RDL from Memorex) an error message appears saying: Impossible to burn the disk because communication failed between disk player and computer (error code 0x80020022)

When trying to burn files (1,7 GB) to a Memorex DVD, an error messge says: Impossible to burn the disk because communication between disk player and computer failed (error code # 0x80020022).
Is the Memorex incompatible with my i-Mac or what could it be ?
My i-Mac is a 21", Core 2 Duo with 3.06 GHz. RAM is 8Go 1067MHz DDR3.
Thanks.

That message is usually caused by poor media. i.e. poor coating quality.
Mermorex is generally regarded by most users here as poor quality media. So is TDK. Most of us prefer Verbatim, Fuji, Maxell or Taiyu Yuden DVD-R.
Also burn at only 2x or 4x burn speed.

Mavericks install failed, says disk is damaged and can't be repaired. Help.

My install failed early in the setup process, and said that my HD is damaged and can't be repaired. It reboots in install mode, I go to disk utility, and can't run repair. I've tried to boot to safe mode, but the progress bar goes about a third of the way and it just powers off, so no way to get in to backup or do anything on this machine. My time machine backup is old, but mostly I just have music that I can redownload from iTunes or re-rip from cd, so not worried about data loss. So do I reformat? How would I get an OS on there again, since there would be no way to boot up or get an OS Download onto that machine? This is the first time I miss the old cd/dvd disk distribution. I'm stumped, any help and guidance is appreciated. It's a MacBook Pro if that matters.

Have you got back to restore from if all else fails?
Try booting from the grey restore disk that came with the Mac: disk in drive and restart holding down the 'c' key. Hopefully it'll boot, albeit slowly. At the first screen select your language and from the menu bar of the next screen choose Utilities>Disk Utility. Select Macintosh HD>Repair Disk. Hopefully DU wil repair the errors. Click on repair disk again until you get a clean pass. Try to restart as normal from the Apple menu.

Presario CQ61 - Harddisk Fail 1 year 1 month (303 error / now wont boot) - HPLack of support

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone can give me some information or stories that they may have had similar problems with HP. My harddisk on the laptop failed last week which is just 1 month outside of warrenty. I know it shouldnt fail outside a year unless it was used for heavy processing but my personal laptop is just web browsing and email.
After speaking to HP they said I would inoccur a cost which would be £141 for a new disk! (just under half the cost of the laptop) and to contact PC World for a quote on data recovery!
When put through to the complaints it took ages for an answer and he said theres nothing he will do. I asked about the process to esculate this and he said contact Mike Wilson (MD for UK) or write in. But he also said writing in would go back to him (Simon in complaints) and would not be progressed.
In the past I've used HP Business support (3yr warrenty) which has always been really good i.e. engineer out the next day and replaces the parts / no problems on the phone. But as a home user it seems really shocking and it was my previous experience that made me get a HP.
Thanks,
Matt

I feel your pain, this is a user to user forum.
If it is out of warranty that is the line in the sand, you can replace the hard drive yourself and save a few pounds.
Do you have the HP recovery discs?

Installer failed to initialize - Mac 10.9.2

In trying to install CS6 Design & Web Premium from the original disk onto a new MacBook Pro I get the dreaded Installer Failed to Initialize message. The Support Advisor could not identify any issues. I was able to install Lightroom 5 from it's disk.
I know there have been a number of posts on the Installer Failed to Initialize but I could not find one that would help me. Is it possible to download a new installer?

Installing CS5 on second computer (Installer failed To Initalize)

I have CS5 and want to install it on my laotop I already have it on my desktop Ihave down loaded adobe advisor it detetec's nothing wrong but I get error mesage ( installer faied to initilize )

"Installer Failed to initialize" is a generic error and we need to figure out what is causing the trouble. Most of the time, its an issue with the download that it was not successful or downloaded properly. So, in such cases, download the software again and make sure to compare the file size of the downloaded file with the file on the server. Lets check that in this case as well and make sure the download is complete.
Navigate to the log files in one of the following folders:
• Windows 32 bit (XP, Vista, 7): \Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers\
• Windows 64 bit (XP, Vista, 7): \Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Installers
• Mac OS: /Library/Logs/Adobe/Installers/
The log filename includes the product name and install date, followed by ".log.gz." The extension .gz indicates a compressed format.
Use a decompression utility such as Winzip or StuffIt to decompress the .gz file. Once uncompressed, the log file is a plain text file.
Open the .log file using WordPad (Windows) or TextEdit (Mac OS).
Note: By default, log files open in Console on Mac OS. Select all of the text by pressing Command+A, and then copy and paste it into a text editor before continuing.
Scroll to the bottom of the log. Look in the --- Summary --- section for lines that start with ERROR: or FATAL and indicate a failure during the installation process.
Copy and Paste that SUMMARY section in here so that we can check the errors. You might also analyze the logs yourself.

Hi,
If i am getting the scenario correctly , you are trying to install Acrobat 11 on a machine which already have Acrobat 9 on it.
If this is the case then you need to remove the old version of acrobat so that you can install the newer version correctly. Also i would like to make sure that there is no other application(MS Word, MS office,Firefox, IE etc) running at the time of install which use some of the resources needed by the installer.
Thanks

The Windows 10 Installation Failed

I have an Acer V 17 Nitro Black Edition (VN7-791G)
I have tried over 10 times to upgrade to Windows 10. Using the app (said I was ready to upgrade) to using a USB drive setup by the media creation tool from Microsoft. Everytime I have tried to upgrade I get the same error:
Something Happened
The Windows 10 Installation Failed.
That is the only error I get. I have the latest drivers, did a clean boot with no programs loaded and still get the same error. There are alot of crazy ideas on how to do it but none of them worked (eg; setting the date a day into the future)
Does anyone have an idea what could be causing this as Microsoft support is worthless.
Thanks

Hi, did you get your bluetooth to pair with your any of your bluetooth devices after Windows 10 upgrade? I tried mine many times and it doesn't work. Seems like ACER/Broadcomm have yet to upgrade drivers for this model (VN7-791G).

Where did you get the install media from?
I've seen this on a number of occassions where the install media didn't download properly. Recommend that you download the media again and try. For ref see
