ITunes setup cannot install to another partition

I am trying to install iTunes to an external HDD drive that has more than enough space, but the partition selector screen does not allow me to select the HDD or any other partition from my choices.
See below screenshot.
Can anyone help?

Did that. Not the issue.
It appears that the issue was actually that OS X did not format the drive properly. It must not have used NTFS. Anyways, here's what I did:
At the point in the installation process where Windows is asking you which disk to install on, it tells you that you cannot install on the disk.
In order to fix this, choose 'Options (Advanced)' and select 'Format'. All's well!

Created partition with bootcamp, Win 7 says cannot install on any partition

It asks me to choose which partition to load windows on, but on each one, including bootcamp, it's says it cannot install on that partition. Have deleted partition, started again only for the same thing to happen..........Help

Dual booting win 7 and arch: cannot install grub to partition

I have read the arch wiki page on dual booting and several other sources on line, but I am still struggling to get this to work.
I am trying to dual boot arch and windows 7 on my lenovo ideapad s205. the machine comes with windows 7 pre-installed.
I shrank the win 7 partition and added an extended partition with 3 logical partions for /boot, swap, and /.
I am able to install and run arch by installing grub to the mbr. when I do this, though, I cannot boot windows. (the windows section of grub menu.lst is uncommented and points toward hda0,0. I have tried hda 0,1 as well).
I have also tried to use the windows boot loader to load arch, as described in the arch wiki page on dual booting. The problem here is that, taking this approach, I should install grub to my /boot partition, but when I try to do this, the installer only allows me to install grub to sda or sdb (the usb stick).
I have read that grub should be able to boot linux from a logical partition. Is this so?
Is there something wrong with the arch installer that it is not giving me the option of installing to a partition rather than the mbr, or is this a problem with my partition scheme, or something else?
I am tempted to remove lenovo's recovery system, but on the other hand, I have already needed to use it several times while monkeying around with installing arch.
Thanks for any help.
UPDATE:
I now have the laptop dual-booting win 7 and arch. My solution ( adapted from here: http://helms-deep.cable.nu/~rwh/blog/?p=177) was to:
1. installed arch on the partitions I had created for it, but skipped the "install bootloader" stage.
2. in win 7, I downloaded and installed EasyBCD and made an entry for arch in it. I checked the option to "Use EasyBCD's copy of GRUB"
3. When I restarted, I got a grub error because the entry in grub's menu.lst was pointing at the wrong partitions for the kernel and root.
4. So I went back into the arch live disk, mounted the boot partition and edited menu.lst.
Now when I start the laptop, the windows boot loader starts and I can choose between win 7 and arch. when I select arch, grub4dos starts and gives me the option to start arch. this is not particularly elegant (nor is it fast), so I think this solution is less than ideal, but it does work.
I'd be interestd in any thoughts about what went wrong and what a better solution would be.
thanks.

Is this a typo in your post or how it was in menu.lst? Surely it should be hd0,0 and not hda0,0? The entry I have in my menu.lst is as follows:
# (2) Windows
title Windows
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
What was yours?

ok I'm good to go.
I had to uninstall QT first, used the Windows Installer clean up (found in another post) and used it to remove the iTunes installer left in the system.
After uninstalling QT and using the Installer clean up, I then used the iTunes newer version to update and all is well. It even shows up in my Add/Remove programs now!
PHEW! Panic attack.
:P
You can delete this thread if you like, Mods. My problem is cleared now.

Uninstalling ITUNES and re-installing on another PC

if I unstall my Itunes software from my laptop and reinstall it on my desktop, will I lose my library? including the songs I purchased from the Itunes store? any help would be appreciated

You don't need to uninstall iTunes from one computer to transfer it to another, you can copy your existing iTunes folder. There are a few things you could do to achieve this, from networking the two computers, using an external hard drive or even using your iPod to make the move. Have a look at this User Tip: Migrating iTunes for Windows to a new PC
If you can network the computers there is also this one: Copying songs over a network to use with iTunes for Windows
When you have your purchased songs on the new PC authorise it to play them: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation

Cannot install Win 8 on a late 2013 iMac using bootcamp on 10.9

I'm trying to install Win 8 on a late 2013 iMac (purchased a couple of months ago)
I have a win 8 pro DVD, but obviously there is no DVD in this iMac. I usally use the DVD drive in my older 2009 iMac for any disk based installs but I can't appear to use it here.
I followed the instructions and downloaded a Win 8 Pro ISO from Microsoft to use with my authentication code, created a bootable USB using bootcamp, created the partition and rebooted. Once I'd entered the code I get to the install location but it says I cannot install on the partition created by bootcamp. Even if I format the partition it says I need a GPT drive but I have MBR, so won't let me install.
I tried several suggestions including creating aprtitions in various other programs and once I even got past that screen, but as soon as it tried to install I got another error saying the MBR was formatted incorrectly and it failed.
I had no issues installing Win 7 via bootcamp on the older iMac, but this one has me stumped. I used to think I knew a bit about computers, but I'm fairly new to Mac related issues as the older iMac has always just worked.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
I just installed Windows 8.1 on my Late 2013.
There are just a couple of things I had to do that deviated from the Boot Camp Installation Manual.
1. I downloaded my copy of Windows 8.1 as an ISO image AND as a bootable USB from the Microsoft site.
Not sure why I did that but it came in handy because Bootcamp was taking a very long time to copy the ISO onto the USB stick..
The ISO copying seemed to freeze up, but it's likely that it was just taking a long time, probably 20mins.
So, instead of waiting, I took the contents of the the USB startup stick and simply moved them over to the stick that Bootcamp had formatted for the ISO copy (I cancelled that copy function and deleted any files that had copied but didnt complete).
Once that was done, the machine rebooted from the USB stick and began the normal Windows setup process.
All went very smoothly except that my mouse was not working.
2. To get around the mouse issue, I simply plugged in a MS USB Mouse and it worked immediately.
The Bootcamp manual advised that the way around this was to 'click in upper right corner and search for Bootcamp'. Problem was, it was nowhere to be found.
So, using my MS mouse, I navigated to the 'DESKTOP' icon in Win 8.1 and found File Explorer, which showed my USB stick connected along with Bootcamp and the MS Support File (i.e. All the Apple Drivers).
I began manually clicking on all the driver files until realizing that there IS a Bootcamp executable which will automatically install the drivers for the Nvidia card, keyboard, camera, mouse, etc....
Once that was done, my installation was completed.
The entire process took about an hour, but now that I've done it, it really shouldnt take much more than 45 mins.
I have the late 2013 iMAC, with the GTX780M and 1TB Fusion Drive i5 Quad Core.
For those who are leery about doing this, please note that I'm a PC 'lifer' and this is my very first go-around with doing anything on an Apple product.
It all went much more smoothly than I could have imagined, but if you are not a PC person, you might be a little challenged finding the Bootcamp in File Explorer or doing anything in Win 8.1 to get over these minor hurdles.
Good luck!
I'm looking forward to getting STEAM up and running to see how this thing games!

Cannot install iTunes 7.6 - setup file does not respond

Today I repurchased an iTouch and recycled my Mini. I tried to upgrade iTunes version 7 to 7.6. After downloading the setup file, I double clicked it but it doesn't respond. No error message appears.
I have tried all of the General Installation Troubleshooting suggestions:
1. I have completely removed iTunes and Quicktime
2. I have emptied my Temp folder
3. When I try to clean up the installer files, the msicuu.exe file gives me a loadstring error, so I wasn't able to do that.
4. When I downloaded the Quicktime Standalone installer, I get no response when I doubleclicked the setup file (just like when I doubleclicked the iTunes setup file).
5. When I tried to disable conflicting software, I could not find qttask or Ituneshelper.
6. Strange characters should not be a problem since it is on my desktop.
What do I do next???

If you're using a PowerPC Mac, you can't.
If you're using an Intel Mac, phone the online Apple Store and order a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD.
If you don't know, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu.

Cannot install itunes 10.6, or quicktime 7, tried the system config utility, uninstalled itunes

I've uninstalled all security programs, followed the apple instructions using the system configuration utility, run windows update on my XP SP3 system, and I've uninstalled all apple programs including itunes and quicktime. i cannot install the new itunes (10.6) or quicktime 7 - i keep getting an installer warning. I find it exceedingly frustrating that the installer fails so consistently and that there's no clear set of instructions to resolve the problems. i've found 5 different sets of instructions that include remove this, do that, and i've followed them, and probably cleaned up my PC lots, but still no apple software. very irritating. way to go apple for customer support - i got disconnected after a long wait once i finally got to talk to a human to try to find out why my serial number on my ipod doesn't register me to get to *you guessed it* SOFTWARE customer support. as if that requires me to have the bleeding HARDWARE.

Perfect, thanks.
iTunes error (!symbol) "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."
Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

Cannot install itunes - message "unknown publisher & no digital signature

I have been using itunes for ages but on Tuesday when i tried to update my IPOD it froze so i then checked that i had the most up date itunes by downlading the latest version which i have done loads of times without any problem. THis time however every time it downloaded it came up with the error message "unknown publisher" and "no digital signature". It gave the option of running the program still but then it would just close and not do anything!!
I have been to the apple shop and my ipod has been sorted although everything has been wiped as they had to restore it. I have again today tried to download itunes but am still getting the same message so cannot put music back onto my ipod to use!!
I use windows vista and have an ipod touch. We hav also tried another computer but are still having the same problem. Any ideas??
Thanks

Should I just get the itunes setup folder from a person that has got it already?
Yes, that usually works. (So long as we can get an undamaged installer onto the PC with one of these, it will usually install fine.)
Another thing that is worth a try is seeing if you can connect to a different wireless network, and downloading the installer while you're connected to the internet that way. (The wireless router being grumpy is a common cause of this sort of thing, so by connecting to a different network you're taking the grumpy router out of the equation.)

I cannot install iTunes on Windows 7 I receive the Error 7 (Windows Error 193).

I cannot install iTunes on Windows 7 I receive the Error 7 (Windows Error 193).
I have uninstalled and reinstalled a few times but with no luck. Does anyone have another option?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If the above steps haven't helped try installing:
iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
which is a 64-bit installer for a 32-bit core program, similar to previous 64-bit releases of iTunes.
Or roll back to:
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)
as appropriate.
