Installing windows 8 on t430 problem

Hello,
I am trying to install windows 8 using the windows 8 upgrade assistent, but I run into a problem, at a certain moment in the setup i get a "what needs your attention" screen and I need to uninstall some programs that are incompatible with windows 8, one of these is "rapidboot shield" but when i try to uninstall it, i get the following message:
Error 1316.A network error occurred while attempting to read from the file C:\windows\installer\rapidboot.msi
following this i need to manually select a folder containing the file PHCORE.sys and the default folder to search in is C:\program files\lenovo\rapidboot, i opened the folder and can only find PHCORE64.sys but when i select the file it doesn't work, can anybody help me with this?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I already got it fixed on my own, what I did is the following, I looked up the rapidboot shield program on the lenovo drivers & software site, and i installed the 32bit version, just to remove it after the installation completed, and this way I didn't get an error, so I hope this can be of some help for anyone running into the same problem!

Installing Windows xp OEM sp2 problem

I am having trouble loading window XP pro OEM sp2 using Bootcamp on my macbook OSX 10.5.8 It gets through copying all the files and reboots successfully through to the install window and the setup program for windows (where it displays various marketing info and has dot buttons down the left hand side). It says it will take 39 mins to setup but the counter never changes and I have left it up to an hour and nothing happens although once I did get a disk error message (something about cleaning the CD - can't remember exactly). I am doing full installs and have tried FAT and NTFS. At first I thought it was because it was an OEM but it is a Microsoft OEM and other people online seem to have no problems installing and I have read all the posts here and no-one seems to have this particular problem. Is this a dud CD or version of windows or am I just doing something wrong? Any help would be appreciated since I would really like to use the OEM I have and not have to buy a retail.

Hi Lynnne
I don't think the OEM disc is the problem although I cannot be 100% sure. Please let me explain:
I initially installed XP-Pro using an OEM disc, way back in 2006 - worked fine back then - installing XP in Parallels, VMware Fusion, and finally BootCamp when ever it was that it came out of Beta.
Now? I cannot get past a hal.dll error on a clean install using BootCamp on a freshly formatted (FAT32 or NTFS) partition - using THE SAME disc!
Why? I suspect it has to do with a BootCamp update from a few months ago (June?). Ever since that BootCamp update I've got nothing but unresolvable blue screens in XP. Now, however, I cannot re-install XP. Heck, I've also tried installing Vista 64bit as well as a recently purchased Win7Pro 64 bit - all no-go's.
So to recap - I don't think the OEM disc is the problem. I'm looking into my BootCamp update theory.

Installing Windows 10 with Bootcamp problem?

I've been trying to install Windows 10 Technical Preview for a while now jumping through loads of hoops with no luck. Keep in mind that I've had various versions of windows and ubuntu on both of my SSDs in the past.
Here's a look at my set up:
Macbook Pro mid 2012
Two 256GB SSD's
32GB Flash drive
Windows 10 iso from microsoft
I have tried to make the USB from Bootcamp, then install through bootcamp. It formats the SSD, then restarts the computer. Although, the computer boots up into a black screen with a blinking underscore. If I hold option, I see two options from the USB. "Windows" and "EFI Boot" If I press the Windows partition on the USB from the boot selection, I get back to the black screen with a blinking underscore. If I press the "EFI Boot" option, it brings me to the normal set up screen. After I click advanced setup, and click my drive to install, I can't click the next button. Of course I format the drive, but still no luck. It comes up with an error saying that the drive is an MBR format and needs to be in GPT. ("The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows can only installed on GPT disks.") I tried going through the repair option and going into the command prompt while typing the "Bootrec.exe /Fixboot" without any luck of it fixing the issue. I also tried making the USB drive through windows and back onto my Mac, no luck either. Currently I'm downloading a Windows 8.1 iso to see if I can install this, then upgrade through bootcamp. Only problem is that this will take a while. Do any of you guys have any suggestions I might have missed? I'll update this constantly with how the windows 8 install then upgrade goes, but until then, what do you guys think?

I solved my issue. The method I used was a combination of other methods I found on the internet.
1.) Went back into Mac os X and opened Disk Utility
2.) Clicked on my SSD I was going to install windows onto
3.) Went to the partition tab and selected one partition, then changed the format to free space and hit apply
4.) I booted back into the windows installation EFI
5.) Got back to the part where you choose your drive still getting an error
6.) I then hit "Shift + F10" to open command prompt, and typed this in:
"diskpart"
Found my drive by typing "list disk" (In my case, it was Disk 0)
"Select disk 0" (Or what ever your drive is, probably 0)
"clean all" Let it sit and do it's job for about 15 minutes
Closed command prompt, still might give an error
7.) Restarted computer and went back into the EFI installation
8.) Allowed me to format, then hit next like normal!
Everything is working fine for me after installing the Bootcamp drivers except for audio. I've tried installing it through the compatibility options, still nothing. Do any of you guys know any way to fix the audio issue with Windows 10?

Installing Windows 7 via USB problem

Hey,
I was trying to install Windows-7 64bit via my usb, but when Bootcamp restarts the MacBook to install windows-7, it says there aren't any bootable disks avaible. I've allready tried booting up while holding the ALT/option key, but also there is no USB displayed.
I made the USB via bootcamp.
How can i fix this?
Thank you for your time and help!
Finn.

Unless you have a Retina MBP you must use the optical drive, and a DVD to install Windows.

Problem in installing Windows 8 on T430 laptop

I just received 3 new T430 laptops in my office and tried install winodws 8 on them with the pre-configured bootable DVD with ImageX. But, just after the initial "W8 PE boot mechanism 9.1" screen the laptops aregetting re-started automatically without any error/message.
Following are the solutions which I have tried but no success:
1. Recreating the bootable DVD. (also checked the same DVD was working fine if used to install Win8 on any other desktop)
2. Updating the BIOS of the laptop. After updating the BIOS the BIOS version is 2.53 (08-Mar-2013).
3. Combination of disabled and enabled 'UEFI' and 'Secure Boot' options in BIOS. (found few blogs on net which are pointing towards these BIOS settings)
4. Tried to install from USB boot disk but same result. (created USB boot disk from ISO files)
5. Tried to install from external USB DVD drive.
6. Disabling the memory card slot.
7. Loading setup defaults in BIOS and restoring factory keys under 'Secure boot' in BIOS.
I am able to install the Win8 SOE on any other desktop using the same set of DVDs.
Is there any step or setting which I am missing here??

I already got it fixed on my own, what I did is the following, I looked up the rapidboot shield program on the lenovo drivers & software site, and i installed the 32bit version, just to remove it after the installation completed, and this way I didn't get an error, so I hope this can be of some help for anyone running into the same problem!

Installing windows vista load driver problem

I am trying to load Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 32. I follow the bootcamp assistant instructions. I select "Disk 0 Partition 3 BOOTCAMP" as instructed but the "Next" button will not function. I can tab or select between drives, Refresh and Load Driver but cannot get to Next. The Bootcamp instructions say to load drivers after Windows is installed but I can't get Windows installed?? What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Bill

Found my own problem. Had to click on drive options advanced and format. That still didn't work because the disk was too small. Increased disk size and successfully completed install.

HP Stream 13 tried clean install windows 10. Big Problem

EDIT: I have am HP Stream 13 that came with 8.1 The hard drive ont hese things is not large enough to compleate the upgrade to windows 10. So i preformed a clean install from a USB. Now i have 10 and it is not activated. NOW I read that you MUSST preform the upgrade first in order for windows to detect your hardware and register it as valis for the free windows 10. BUT since upgrade was not posible I have a windows 8.1 key that is useless since there is no service to change the key to a windows 10 key.. This is insane. these laptops are being advertisd with the free upgrade to windows 10 yet are not able to be upgraded. Not sure what to do now. I am running a new HP stream 13 touchscreen with windows 8.1 I want to upgrade to windows 10 before I am back to school (before i have to install all kinds of software and files) Obciously the Stream does not have enough SSD left to preform the upgrade. I have created a clean install USB thumb drive but am worried about using it. From what i have read the recovery partition that is not deleteable houses files that the system accesses. When i do a Clean install wiping the C drive (but not the partition) will everything work? will i loose the use of that partition space forever? and lastly I used a program to access my windows key since it is located in the bios not on a sticker but I want to know if anyone else has done this and did it auto detect? or did they run in to any problems. Sorry if this is all posted somewhere else but i am not finding any information at all. EDIT! I do have a USB recovery that i can use if i must to windows 8.1 I installed 10 from a USB and it is workign fine other than it is now saying my KEY isnt valid for this clean install. How do i convert my 8.1 key to a key that will work for 10? I cant see myself buying a new key from microsoft when the laptop was sold with an advert saying free upgrade to 10. It isnt posible to do a upgrade because of the space required for the upgrade to do its work. this is a real pain.

Hi, 1. You can have this option: create a Recovery media (USB key) then delete the Recovery partition, this will give you more room.2. Not 100% work unless Windows 10 or you can dind all drivers for your computer. Again, to get more space, you can delete Recovery partition but please create a Recovery set/media first.3. I upgraded 5 laptops on weekend inluding 2 HP laptops. I used tool to get the keys by Windows 10 upgrade (not clean install) could detect the keys in BIOS. I still have few more laptops and my children laptops I will upgrade. I won't do clean install because I don't want to spend time to re-install all programs/applications again. Regards.

New Illustrator CS3 Install Windows 7 64-bit Problem

I just migrated from XP to a clean install of Win 7 Pro 64-bit.
For some reason, Illustrator loads with no palletes and when I try to create a new document, the following appears:
Now if I run as Administrator, Illustrator loads normally without this error, but every time I start Illustrator, I get a User Account Control warning popup. Is there any way to tell UAC that Illustrator is on some approved program list and to stop bothering me about it?

I'm not seeing anything new added to the Event log security at the time I launch the program and get the UAC popup.
I get the UAC for all programs that have to run with Admin privilages. So far that means Illustrator (or else it won't load it's palletes), QuarkXpress 8.02 and TMPGenc Xpress. All of them malfunction in some way if not run with Admin level tokens.
I wish the UAC would learn which programs are 'safe to run', but it doesn't. I started Illustrator up a dozen times and still get the UAC when I start it. If I don't run it with Admin levels, I get the popup shown at the beginning of this thread.

Crazy problems installing windows XP...

I've had Windows 2000 on my computer up until today when I bought Windows XP Pro.
I am still able to install windows 2000 without any problems. The trouble is if I try either upgrading my installation of 2000, or I try to reformat my hard disk and install XP onto the blank drive, I get some kind of error. The first part of the setup goes fine, but when the computer reboots it begins to install and i get this message (C is my HD, D is my CD):
System setup log - (C:\WINNT\setuperr.log)
Error:
Installation failed: D:\I386\asms. Error Message: Data error (cyclic redundancy check).
Fatal Error:
One of the components that windows needs to continue setup could not be installed.
Data error (cyclic redundancy check).
If you are installing from a CD, there might be a problem with the disc; try cleaning the disc or using another disc.
If you are installing from a network,... blah blah blah...
(it then repeats this message about 4 more times in the log)
I spent about an hour with microsoft tech support, and basically in the end, the guy just said try upgrading 2000 instead of installing on a blank hard drive. I tried this and the same error occurred. I've read a few posts about people having issues with the 74Gb raptor HD's. Could this be part of my problem? The CD itself looks spotless. I even washed and cleaned it. I've never had a problem with my CD drive either. Windows 2000 installs no problem.. If anyone knows anything that this could be or how to fix it, it would really help me out. I have no idea what else to try.

Well I fixed the problem finally! I had flashed my bios while I was still running windows 2000, but I didnt realize it reset all my settings to default. There were a few settings for SATA DMA that were disabled. I just set those to enabled and windows XP seemed happy to install itself.

How can I install windows 8 on a mac without superdrive?

Hi there.
I have an old Macbook pro (early 2007) which is still quite good, except from the superdrive which got broken.
I would like to completely wipe out OSX (Lion) from that and install Windows 8 instead.
Problem is, I cannot install it from optical drive, since it's broken (and plus, I don't have access to an external drive).
Is it even possible to install windows 8 from USB on this computer? If so, what should I do?
Thank you!

You can only install Windows from an external disc drive or an USB drive in one of these computers:
- MacBook Pro with Retina display.
- MacBook Air.
- iMac (Late 2012).
- Mac mini (Mid 2010 and newer).
As you don't have any of these computers, you need the SuperDrive to install Windows 8. In your case, you have to install a SuperDrive in your MacBook Pro in order to install Windows by using Boot Camp

Error 0x80300024 when installing Windows 7

I have a problem with my MacBook Pro Mid 2012: I used Windows 7 on my HDD and a SSD via USB. Then I went to an Apple Authorised Service Provider and replaced the optical drive with the HDD and the SSD is now there, where the "normal" hard drives are.
No matter what I do, I get error 0x80300024 if I want to install Windows 7 on the HDD, which replaces the optical drive. It works on the SSD, however. I replaced the SSD with another HDD and it works too, so I think that Windows is only bootable on the primary SATA connector, but not on the secondary, where the optical drive was. I tried using the Master Boot Record as well as FAT or just made the hard drive empty. Still the same issue. Windows says that the controller is not activated in the BIOS, but there isn't any BIOS on the Mac, at least no BIOS settings.
Interestingly, it works if I unplug the SSD, so that just my HDD is connected. So I guess Windows has difficulties by recognising two SATA controllers. So I can install Windows 7, but the problem is that "no bootable drive" is found if I connect the SSD again. So Windows is not only uninstallable, it is not bootable too.
Now I would have to options: install Windows 7 on the 120GB SSD, which wouldn't be enough for OS X plus Windows or switch the HDD to the primary SATA connector and the SSD to the other one. This would cost 60 Euros again and I can't believe that there is no other solution.
Did anyone else experiences the same issue or has a solution for me? I just want to install Windows 7 on the HDD and it was working on my old 2009 MacBook Pro, but now it's not working and if I search on Google I just get solutions for the Mac Pro (there it was the RAID, which caused this issue). Others, like Mac mini users, who are using two hard drives, solved this by formatting (FAT32, Master Boot Record and/or just emptying everything and selecting "empty space"). This didn't work for me

For my MBP late 2011, I had a SSD in both the main and optibay spaces.
I installed windows on the optibay SSD drive and was able to boot via option key. I had to first create a mbr partition on the optibay SSD. I then had to open up the MBP and move the optibay SSD to the main slot and reinstall my DVD drive. I then installed windows 7 via CD and eventually bootcamp drivers. After install, I removed DVD drive and moved optibay SSD back to optibay and reinstalled main SSD drive with mac osX.
now I have a rMBP and bootcamp is an even different beast. see macrumor post:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1414769
The rMBP needs a FAT partition to be able to install to a thunderbolt drive. Now my prediction is that the 2012 MBP may have similar requirements in order to install and boot from optibay HDD.
You can try to test via my method.

Error installing windows 7 on macbook early 2011

Hie
I was installing windows 7 on the 2nd partition of my hard drive on macbook pro early 2011 from dvd
The installation process started well nd at end it asked me for restart for completion of windows installation
Macbook got restart but got boot in mac os instead of windows
So the completion was incomplete
I restarted it again and holding option key boot in windows but now it just shows a blank screen with hyphen blinking till I hard restart it
If I install windows again the same problem will occur when it will ask for restart for completion
What should I do?

Read the Boot Camp Instructions located here: http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/. You must use the same drive that contains OSX to install Windows using Boot Camp Assistant.

Installing windows xp on I mac 21

I had installed this before , but recently cleaned hard drive and re-installed. Now when I try to install Windows through Boot Camp as administrator, it says I can not run windows. What have I done or need to do?

Boot Camp 5.0, included on Mountain Lion, is only compatible with Windows 7, and soon, 8. When you try to use a Windows XP DVD, Boot Camp won't allow you to install Windows telling that the Windows version that the disc includes isn't compatible.
If your Mac came with Mac OS X Snow Leopard or earlier, you can install Windows XP without any problem, but it's hard to do it as you can't use Boot Camp Assistant to create the Boot Camp volume

Cant Install Windows 98SE. Please help!

Please can anyone tell me if they have successfully installed win 98SE on this motherboard. I have spent many hours with no success. Using the same CD player and installation disc installs fine on my old computer. However with the 865PE/G Neo2-P motherboard it doesnt it work. Bios recognises HD and CD. After partitioning and formatting the HD and booting up with the WIN98 start up disc setup command doesnt work. Error message Device driver not found MSCD001 No valid CD rom drives selected. Have tried using WIN98 full version and Win 98SE upgrade but no success. Any advice would be appreciated please.

I installed Windows 98 with no problems. Your hardware specs will be suitable to analyze your systems possible outfall.
