Installing Windows XP errors

I tried installing XP with SP 2 and I guess I pushed the wrong button because I got an error screen that said something like "Press any key to boot from CD. Disk Error. Press any key to restart." I saw a troubleshoot topic that had this exact error, so I tried to follow the instructions there and rebooted into Mac OS X and ran the Boot Camp utility again to erase the partition and create a new one, but when I install XP, I never get to the formatting the partition part, the error just displays again. If anyone could let me know what I'm missing, that'd be great.
Thanks in advance!

You may have an OEM disk. The problem with an OEM Windows XP SP2 disk is that they are expecting to be installed on a drive that has already been formatted for Windows. So it will not give you option to format the drive. You need the full retail version of Windows XP SP2 to get the “Full Format” screen.
Boot Camp creates a partition for windows but does not format it for Windows. This is why it gives you a “Disk Error, Press any key to restart" message when you try to install an OEM disk on it.
To install from an OEM disk press the F10 key when the install asks you to press F6 (the one for the additional RAID drivers), wait 5 to 10 minutes to load all the drivers and it will change to the Recovery Console. At the C:> prompt type "FORMAT C: /FS:FAT32" (Without the quotation marks but a space between FORMAT and C and between the : and /FS) (Or if you want to format it as NTFS then type "FORMAT C: /FS:NTFS") then answer “Y” to the “This will erase all information on the disk. Do you want to continue? (Y/N)”. After it finishes formatting the C: drive type “exit” at the C:> prompt.
It will take you back to the beginning and start up from the press F6 screen. This is alright because you’ve just erased all those drivers it loaded when you formatted the C: drive.

  • Pse9 fails to install, windows installer error

    I have just completed a clean re-install of Windows XP SP3 (plus subsequent updates).  Trying to re--install PSE9 from the original disk fails with a Windows Installer error.
    I have successfully re-installed all other software including, Norton IS 2012, Office 2007 sp3, Sage 50, HP printers x 2, adobe acrobat X, etc
    All drivers were downloaded from the mobo's/HP website.  Looked at min specs, but as pse9 installed fine on same machine prior to the re-install, don't think that can be the issue.
    I tried installing on another XP SP3 PC which is not a clean re-install and it didn't show the error.
    So auggestions?

    When we tried subsequently, PSE9 installed as it should, we can only assume that pse9 wouldn't install initially due to HP laser printer drivers that had been installed that required a reboot, although at the time we weren't aware of that.
    Thanks for your help guys......

  • Labwindows CVI install - Windows SDK error

    Hello,
    I have a problem when I try to install Labwindows CVI 9 on Windows 7.
    I had no problems so far, but now the installation doesn't work and the following message appears:
    Do you help me please, it's very important and urgent.
    Thank you.
    Best Regards.
    Karine.

    Hello,
    I don't really understand the issue... you said that you have no problem when you install LabWindows CVI 2009 on Windows 7 - that's good!
    And now you have an issue with an installation... with another software (I guess) ?
    This error appears when you are installing an incompatible version or your toolkit/drivers/software with your actual OS.
    As you are using Win 7, I suggest you to check the compatibility of what you want to install on your computer : http://www.ni.com/white-paper/10383/en

  • Portege 2000,can't install windows,ide errors

    Any help much appreciated.....
    previous owner wiped the 20gb hard disk. Have the Toshiba pcmcia drive. Flashed latest bios. It will boot from xp or 2000 cd no problem,however both OSs stop at the start with bsod (2000 gives inacessible_boot device).
    Tried with ME but the cdrom driver isnt the right one(doesnt load the cdrom drive). In a situation like this I normally remove the drive and install(with hdd adaptor) in a pc to format and copy the OS files then replace the drive and run setup from the hdd but this has a 1.8" drive and I have no adaptor.
    HELP!!!
    Mick

    Hi Tyson,
    Sorry but I am a little confused about your explanation. If I understand you right, you bought used Protg 200 with external Toshiba CD-ROM device (PCMCIA) and you try to reinstall it?
    Do I understand you correctly?
    As far as I know in original Toshiba Recovery CD there is driver for external "TOSHIBA CD-ROM" (PCMCIA/CARDBUS) and it will be loaded at begin of recovery procedure. If it works with non Toshiba devices it is unknown to me. If you want to reinstall OS without original Toshiba CD you must start the notebook using start disc with right driver for external device.
    Like you said the best solution is to start setup from HDD. You must a Google a little bit around and I am sure that you can find one for you. Please check this site
    http://www.addonics.com/products/Saturn/aesed.asp . There is described that the optional 2.5" converter kit can be used for 2.5" or 1.8" IDE hard drive.

  • Data error (cyclic redundancy check) when installing windows xp..

    hi guys.. i'm new here.. just switched to macdom a few days ago but unfortunately, i have been having problems trying to install windows xp with sp 2 on my system using boot camp. everytime i install it, i get to the setup screen ("39 minutes till setup rah rah rah", "windows xp is awesome because it has this cool interface etc... rah rah rah") and then the error of doom comes out -_-
    the error given is;
    an eror has been encountered that prevents setup from continuing
    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 the network, it is possible that not all of the files were copied correctly to your disk drive. run the disk checking utility on your installation drive from the recovery console and start setup again
    press ok to view the setup log file
    i have tried numerous times without fail and it is getting to my head.. gah.. if someone could help me out, it would be massive and i would sell my soul to you! (kidding).. thanks for reading!
    p/s: my setup is;
    Macbook
    2.1ghz
    1gb ram
    120gb hard disk
    dvd/cd-rw combo drive
    the basic setup pretty much.. again.. any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you so much guys!

    I guess there is a problem with your XP CD, probably scratched or did not burn successfully. Have you tried it with another installation cd?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Although you managed to "hack" Boot Camp Assistant and you can create a Windows USB installer, you will not be able to boot from the USB drive and you will get a nice "No bootable device" screen after restarting your Mac.
    Apple has set up Boot Camp Assistant in order to show the option to create a USB installer only in Macs which support it. In the case of the MacBook Pro, only MacBooks Pro with Retina display support that option, so you are out of luck. You need Windows on a DVD.

    Hi,
    Sorry to hear that in-place upgrade is still failed. It also indicates the operating system is non-recoverable.
    You may have to rebuild the server.
    If rebuilding is not an acceptable solution, you can open a ticket with CSS support.

  • I am installing Windows 7 on my macbook pro OSX Mountain Lion and I get an error message:" Your disk could not be partitioned." What does this mean?

    I am installing Windows 7 and I get an error message: "Your disk could not be partitioned. An error ocurred while partitioning the disk". I was using a Windows & Home Premium OEM Software that I purchased from Microsoft. I was given to Windows 100GB to use for Quickbooks pro, Payroll and Publisher. I have the Macbook Pro model No: MD102LL/A. Does anyone knows what happenned or can advice me in what to do? Please help!!!

    If you were using Apple's BootCamp and received this message, quit it and open Disk Uility in your Applicaitons/Utilities folder.
    Select the Macintosh HD partition on the left and select Erase and Erase Free Space > Zero option and let it complete (important) this will check the spare space for bad sectors that can cause issues formatting partitions.
    Once it's completed, try creating a partiton again in BootCamp.
    If that doesn't work, then hold command option r keys down while connected to a fast internet connection, Internet Recovery should load (spinning globe) and then in that Disk Utility, select your entire internal drive and click > First Aid > Repair Disk and Permissions.
    reboot and attempt Bootcamp again.
    If you still get a error, it might be that you have OS X data on the bottom area where BootCamp partition needs to go. This would occur if you had the drive or computer for a long time or wrote a large amount of files to the drive and nearly filling it up and then reduced some, but it left traces in the area BootCamp needs to go.
    To fix this
    BootCamp: "This disc can not be partitioned/impossible to move files."

  • Vista itunes not installed correctly.  Error 7.  Windows error 998.  Itunes helper not installed correctly.  Service Apple Mobile Device failed to start.  Insufficient privileges.

    OK, spent about 25 frustrating hours so far this weekend doing everything recommended on numerous threads here -- uninstalling and reinstalling itunes and all Apple items.  Help?
    I am using Windows Vista home premium.  After the last iTunes update to 12, it suddenly would not work.  I followed, to a T, all instructions to uninstall all Apples software, in the correct order, reboot, download the latest iTunes, run as administrator, plug in the iPhone 5S, let the driver install, and then finish.
    Along the way, I received the error that "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start.  Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."  I am the administrator and have privileges.  (I previously followed instructions from anther thread to change the read-only privileges for Apple folders, but to no avail.  I also deleted every file with the word Apple in it after I uninstalled everything.)  I did a retry and then an ignore during installation of the AMD error, which I have received 10 times.
    The other error I keep getting is:  "iTunesHelper was not installed correctly.  Please reinstall iTunes.  Error 7."  I have done that 20 times.
    Other frequent error:  "iTunes was not installed correctly.  Please reinstall iTunes.  Error 7 (Windows error 998)."
    I followed other threads suggestions to install Windows .NET versions 3.5 and 4.0.  No help.  I also looked for various specific Apple files in various folders for DLLs, etc.  Not present.  I have rebooted 50 times and tried different users on my home account as well.  Nothing.
    I also followed instructions to Manage my computer under "services."  Under Apple Mobile Device, the setting is for "automatic."  When I try to get it to "start," the error I receive is "Windows could not start the Apple Mobile Device on Local Computer.  Error 1053:  The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion."  (I followed previous thread instructions to use the CMD prompt to stop it.  That caused problems because the status was then "stopped," but I was able to restart it later once I figured that out -- but with the 1053 error again.)
    I think I've tried every suggestion in every thread for the four errors I keep getting (AMD failed to start; iTunesHelper Error 7; Windows error 998; and AMD Error 1053.)  I am fresh out of ideas and very frustrated.  I mostly want to make sure I don't lose my music and photos, which I was about to sync.
    The only other thing I see that is strange on my computer (which I discovered along the way) is that I cannot receive automatic windows updates and have not had an update since 2012.  My iTunes worked a month ago, so that was obviously not a show-stopper in the past, but perhaps there is a Vista update I need for iTunes 12?  I have service pack 2 for Vista.  I have followed all threads to try to set my windows to automatic update, but no joy there either.  It checks for updates and then fails.  I followed instructions and did run an installation to install windows automatic updates, but that doesn't work either.  I tried 10 times.  It runs and takes a while, but is never able to successfully update windows.  It says "checking for updates" for a while.  Then it dies.  My last update was 6/19/12 (failed) and it says the most recent check was 6/22/12, but I have tried 20 times on 10/31/14 and 11/1/14.
    When asked to "Install new Windows Update software" to check for updates, I have done so 10 times.  It downloads and installs, but never works.
    It's an old Dell desktop computer from 2006, and I'm using an iPhone 5S.  I am fresh out of ideas.  Anyone really smart here?
    Thanks.
    Tristan

    Upon latest reboot, I also received this error message:  "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005).  Click OK to terminate the application."
    Then I got the iTunesHelper not installed correctly error again.
    Then the "Windows can't check for updates" error message.
    Then "Apple Push has stopped working."  Then a quick DEP error message that disappeared but said something about Apple Push being closed.
    I'm also getting denials of service logged by McAffee.  Not sure if I'm getting a virus/attack or not.
    Not sure if it's a problem with my old desktop machine, my Windows Vista updates, or iTunes, but I'm very frustrated and out of ideas to try.
    Thank you for your help!
    Tristan

  • I get an error message when trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro. The message says "windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer. I don't have anything connected to my computer. How do I fix this?

    I'm trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro. I went through the process of bootcamp telling it to install windows 7. Once the windows boot manager started an error message came up. The error message says " windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer. I don't have a usb connected to my computer. I  am using windows 7 professional install disc. I  can't figure out what i am doing wrong. The same message keeps coming up over and over. Am I doing something wrong or is it something else?

    Well, shucks, i just spent almost 30 minutes trying to find your model user guide to explain it better, I guess they never got around to making it.....
    I would just borrow another Windows disk and try installing it again and if it does it again then you might take it to an Apple Store and see if one of the "Genius' " can figure it out.
    Make sure your internet is enabled and click on your blank desktop and at the top of your screen is a Help menu option, enter PRAM and it should give you a list of things relating to Pram. It may take a few seconds to list anything as it has to connect to Apples severs first. It should list the things you may have to fill back in when your done.
    "P-ram" stores some common information that is used in the background, your date, time, startup disk, etc, that you don't have to re-fill when you restart, it's a little different for each computer.

  • When opening iTunes I continue to get the same messages, 'The program can't start because AVFoundationCF.dll is missing' and 'iTunes was not installed correctly. Error 7 (Windows error 126)' I've uninstalled, reinstalled many times - nothing! help please.

    When opening iTunes on my new Windows 7 PC I continue to get the same messages, 'The program can't start because AVFoundationCF.dll is missing' and 'iTunes was not installed correctly. Error 7 (Windows error 126)' I've uninstalled and reinstalled many times to no avail, even tried it on a different user account and still nothing. I recently installed Panda Internet Security 2012 (about 12 days ago), initially iTunes worked fine as usual but within the last few days I've been  unable to open it with the same messages appearing. I've read through some of these pages and tried everything that's been advised, uninstalling and reinstalling while internet and laptop security is swithched off, downloading tools to completely remove anything related to iTunes, tried it in Safe Mode, nothing has worked. I've also noticed that in the start menu when I click on iTunes, it says '(empty)' where it should have the logo and ability to start the program, does this mean it doesn't download + install properly each time I've tried? Any help would be enormously appreciated.

    Doublechecking. Have you also tried the following user tip?
