MSI AMD FM1 A55-P33 - won't install windows 7 32bit

Hi there,
we have board the MSI AMD FM1 A55-P33 motherboard but for some reason we cannot install windows 7 32bit on it.
What does install flawlessly is:
All Windows7 64bit
Windows 7 Starter 32bit
We ( and also the local supplier here in South Africa ) have test the following components:
Power Supply
Ram
Ram Ports
Alternate Ram Manufacturer
DVD Writer
Hard Drives
Graphics Card
Onboard Graphics Alone
Board is running latest bios update.
and it still does not install.
They supplier has ordered in and tested the same model motherboard and it still does not install.
For me that means it could be the motherboard model or the cpu ( which is still being ordered in so an alternate can be tested )
When i say doesn't install, it installs until the very end where the installation restarts and goes into the installation one last time to finalize things
and then it throws a error and you can't complete the installation.
The local supplier has had the computer for 2weeks now with no success,
I was hoping someone here could assist us with a few suggestions.
Thanks to any advice given .

what is the exact error received?

Adobe AIR won't install - Windows 7 Ultimate x64

"Sorry, an error has occurred.
An error occurred while installing Adobe AIR. Installation may not be allowed by your administrator. Please contact your administrator."
Well, I asked myself and verified that I am allowed to install any programs I wish to at will.
I even toyed with adding extra permissions for the .exe and shortcut [see below], to no avail.
I also checked your Adobe AIR installation troubleshooter section before posting. Unfortunately, none of the solutions 100% applied to my circumstances or OS, yet I tried a few anyway and had it confirmed by a Windows dialogue that I need not have bothered as it assured me that they weren't applicable in my case.
I found another thread like mine where somebody suggested creating a shortcut with an additional -uninstall parameter added to the .exe path. It didn't work.
I used Microsoft's Installation Cleanup Utility and that didn't work to "un-confuse" the installer either.
Do you have any more suggestions?
Adobe AIR came with the HTC Sync program for my phone, which appears to have dependencies on it where it won't completely work without it.
Thanks in advance for any input.
ps. I created a new thread because I couldn't find the "reply" button on a similarly unresolved thread regarding Adobe AIR installation issues on Windows 7.

I would like to say thanks to artrose54 and to playswithtech for their thoughtful responses to my problem. I finally figured out which number I was to delete, and then, having made a copy of the number in notepad, deleted it. Upon a restart to my computer I then was able to download adobe air 2.7. I found that I still could not download the shutterfly express uploader, however; so I applied the same approach. I went looking for the number in the registry that corresponded to the uploader. I deleted it; restarted the computer; returned to shutterfly; and then was able to download the express uploader. I am sure I will find other uses for Adobe Air in the future.

Hi everyone,
Here is the fix that worked for me,
You need to go to start run and type in regedit
now press ctrl+f for find and type in "adobe air" without the quotes then click find next
the first entry it finds is the one I deleted, it is a long number on left side of screen that is greyed just right click and delete it
I then rebooted the computer and ran adobe air installation
and it worked with out a problem
The adobe air log file really doesn't tell u anything but where it tried to find the setup.msi file
but it doesn't exist because of the registry entry that needs to be deleted which is what causes the error
If u r not sure of editing the registry then maybe you know someone that can help you
I hope this helps you out it worked for me

There's been an update for OSX ML which addresses the issue for installing Windows 8 on bootcamp.
It's NOT recommended that you Upgrade.. However, the way to get the drivers is:
You'll need an external USB drive formatted as FAT for this.
1) In OSX, start the Bootcamp Assistant
2) Press Next
3) UNTICK 'Remove WIndows 7 or Later Version'
4) TICK Download the Latest Windows Support Software from Apple
5) Insert USB drive
6) Press CONTINUE
The drivers should download, and copy a WIndowsSupport folder onto the USB drive.
I did notice that Windows 8 still requires beta drivers for some aspects such as VGA (the Radio HD Card), which you can get on the AMD website.
Futhermore, why are you using Windows 8 "32" bit when you blatently have a powerful 64bit?
Anyway, hope this post helps ;-)

Bootcamp won't allow me to install windows 7 32bit

hello everyone,
so i am having quite a big problem at the moment. i almost tried everything but it seems like my mac won't let me install windows 7 32 bit.
first i tried to do it with the install disc but for somehow my mac keeps ejecting it but other discs run fine. now my macbook has no problem with it so i put it in firewire mode and tried to run the disc from there and just make the partition myself. so i partitioned by disc with (fat) but when i try to run the windows disc in boot mode it says there aren't any bootable devices. also i am unable to see my partition in the boot mode but it does show up on my desktop. now after some research on the internet i tried to make an .iso image from the disc and put it on a usb and my desktop, now bootcamp won't recoqnise it and it also doesn't have this 'make a install disc from .iso image' or something in that direction. so i am really stuck at the moment, the only solution i can think of is downgrading my bootcamp to bootcamp 4 so i do have this iso image option. it is really frustrating
help is appriciated.
best regards,
stan
(sorry for no caps my caplock button is brooke)

Follow the Boot Camp 5.x FAQ and HOW TO and the pdf guide and instructions in Boot Camp Assistant.
Then use Windows 7 64-bit. No one today should be using 32-bit, unless maybe in a VM, but not when running Windows natively.

K8T Neo Won't install Windows XP - Linux works fine

OK, i just installed this MOBO, and I'm having a big problem. It boots up fine, finds everything in the BIOS, but it won't run or install Windows. I tried just using my old Windows XP install to begin with. I would get a stop error before the Loading Windows screen even came up. It wouldn't run in safe mode either. I don't remember exactly what the stop error was anymore. I then booted into Linux, and it runs fine. So, I decided to reinstall Windows. I put the CD in, it says press any key to boot from CD, and then it says "Checking hardware configuration" or something like that and freezes right there without giving an error. I have to manually reset the computer.
I tried deleting the Windows partition and running setup again with the same results. I even tried booting from a copy of the Windows disk, and tried installing Windows XP 64-bit edition as well. Same results with both. I reinstalled Linux because I messed up the boot record when I deleted the Windows partition, and the Linux install went flawlessly.
I have tried disabling SATA, USB, parallel ports, serial ports... everything I could think of in the BIOS. I've tried it with PnP OS support turned on and off. I've tried loosening the RAM settings as far as I can. Nothing seems to work.
It's obviously not a CD-ROM issue, because Linux installs fine. I've also tried multiple drives and media. Linux is also installed on the same HDD as the Windows partiton, so it shouldn't be a HDD problem. I've also tried swapping my Radeon 9800 out with a GeForce Ti 4600, and I've tried swapping the PSU supply out with another (although the other was only 250W).
For the life of me, I can't figure out what the problem may be. Anyone have any ideas?
- TIA

I really don't think it has anything to do with the PSU. I've been using this PSU for over 6 months now on this system (had a Soyo K8USA Dragon Ultra in there before... otherwise the same system) I've never had a problem, and I usually have a lot of crap running at once, e.g. DVD ripping/burning, file sharing, gaming, word processing, programming, browsing, etc., etc. Granted, it's not the best PSU in the world, but it gets the job done quite well. Also, now that Windows is installed, the problem has not reoccured.
The only thing I have noticed is that it takes quite a while to load the Windows loading screen now. This screen should come up almost immediately. Instead, there is about 30 seconds or so of waiting where all I see is a blank screen. Afterwards, everything runs fine. I have disabled the "show list of operating systems" option in Windows so that's not the issue.

MacBook Pro Retina won't install windows 7 64bit

Hi guys, i'm tryng to install windows 7 64bit but no success till now. I'm using an updated version ( service pack 1 integrated) when windows loads i can't install it on the bootcamp partition because it says"windows needs an ntfs partition to install" . Then i cancel that partition, create one new ntfs one, and try to install.... then windows tells me "Impossible to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition. For further information, look at the program's registry files"
It seems to be an error caused by a defective driver of the controller of the hard disk.... so the controller of the ssd. Or is it something else? how can i install windows via bootcamp on the new macbook pro with retina display?

you format the FAT/MSDOS to NTFS inside the Windows installer.
Windows installer: Advanced Options tab.
You don't create, you just use the one "BOOTCAMP" that was created by Boot Camp Assistant.

2011 iMac won't install Windows 7 in Boot Camp

I'm attempting to install Windows 7 x64 on my 2011 (Thunderbolt) iMac via a burned, bootable DVD which was previously used to install Windows 7 x64 on my friend's MacBook Pro. Apparently, the disc works. After partitioning one of my internal drives in Boot Camp, downloading the drivers and stuff Apple provided, putting that stuff on a FAT-formated flash drive, then attempting to install Windows, the install fails. Well, it doesn't really fail. Before I'm even given the option of installing, right after clicking the "start setup" button in the Windows Installer, I get an error saying "No device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click ok." I go to scan and browse the flash drive for the drivers which Apple provided, and I get the same message over and over again regardless of what I click. I ran Software Update before doing any of this, and I have also attempted to install the x32 version of Windows 7 as well, as to no avail. I would try burning the Apple-provided drivers and stuff to a CD or DVD, but obviously there is no way to insert such a disc into the drive since the Windows disc is already in.
These are my computer's specs, if they matter:
2011 Thunderbolt iMac
2TB storage, partitioning 100GB for Windows
3.4GHz i7 quad-core
16GB RAM
Radeon 6970 with 2GB VRAM
...attempting to install Windows 7 Home Premium (I think) x64 (or x32 if I have to)

Update: I've successfully installed Windows by re-burning my Windows .iso image at 4x. The install went smoothly, but Windows is now unable to boot. After installing and going through its series of reboots, then fails to boot after restarting (after given the option to select what method of updating you want Windows to use).
This is some of the stuff Windows says, on a black screen with white text, when the boot fails:
mcfg 0x8ee39000 0x3c 0x8ee0f000 0x195000 0x3
(insert a ton more of that ^ stuff)
recalculating checksums rsdt len 0x6c, xsdt len 0xb4
Completed
Booting Windows 7/Vista/Server (No SLIC - Pointer)
Booting Windows 7/Vista/Server (No SLIC)
Booting Windows NT/2000/XP
Booting Enter Command Line
Boot failed! Press any key to enter command line.
I've dug through various archived forum postings in the programming bowels of the internet. Apparently there was/has been/is a known issue in which Macs refuse to boot Windows when the Mac in question has a 2TB hard drive. This is due to some GRUB issue or something.
I have no idea what to do. I need Windows, and I'm quite sure no Genius appointment will help me solve this problem. So much for a Mac seamlessly running Windows via Boot Camp.

Lion Bootcamp won't install Windows 7 Professional

I have a fresh install of Lion on my iMac and have been trying to install Windows 7 Professional using Bootcamp 4.0. Here's what I've done.
1) Loaded bootcamp and followed the instructions to partition the drive. Split the 500GB drive so the Mac would have approximately 300GB and Win7 would have 200GB. Then bootcamp asked me to insert my Win7 disk which I did and click "Install now". I did so and it rebooted. Upon rebooting my iMac says "No bootable device. Insert boot disk and press any key". However, the Win7 install disk is already in the drive.
After reading on forums I've tried the following but still to no avail.
2) I reboot the computer while holding down the "C" key. Occassionally when I do this the Installation will start and I make it to the Windows activation screen where it asks where I want to install the OS. I select "advanced" and go ahead and select "format" the Bootcamp drive and it takes about 10 seconds to format. Then I proceed with the install. It comes to the screen where it says "Expanding Windows Activated Files" and it shows a 0% and just hangs there. On one occasion when I was in the beginning stages of the install program it stopped and asked me to insert a disk to install a driver for the disk drive. From what I can tell it's like the mac isn't finding and reading the DVD files properly. And sometimes it works for a while and but after a bit it just craps out. Before Lion I had Snow Lepoard and using Bootcamp 3.2 i was able to install Win7 with no problems.
3) One last thing. So after messing with Lion I became frustrated and thought I'm just going to go back to SL. So I pulled out my SL disk and went ahead and did a full SL install. However, when I went into Bootcamp (v3.2 or whatever version comes with SL) it would not allow me to partition my Hard drive. Some error comes up and I can't remember exactly what the error said. But after doing more research on the web I found the problem. It's that Lion installs another hidden partition on my drive which I can't seem to remove. Even when I used disk utilities and formatted the drive before installing SL the hidden Lion recovery partition is still there. So now I can't seem to go back to a clean install of SL to get bootcamp and Win7 working again.
Any help here is much appreciated.
Thanks
Steven

Does fdisk work? Something like 'sudo fdisk -a hfs'? Or maybe 'fdisk -i' first. You see, I'm guessing here.
If you get the unmount error: would 'umount -Af' from USB work? You probably tried that already.
If this all fails, the next step _I_ would take, would be plugging the disk into a Linux box nearby and check the disk there.

My Macbook pro won't install Windows 7, My Macbook pro won't install Windows 7

Hi, I've been trying to install Windows 7 on my Macbook pro, with no luck. I have been able to create a Windows Partition via Bootcamp. And after the Windows 7 installation guide started to expand my Windows files, my Windows 7 CD suddenly stopped spinning. And after a while, the installation guide said that Windows couldn't be installed. And I had to turn off my Mac.

I would highly suggest restoring your Mac to factory settings. Back up all files on externL hard drive first. Then let the be the first thing u do. Should resolve issues. If computer is older and has been running under a certain operating system for a period of time it may not like the partition or may have corrupted files that restoring will wipe clean

Boot Camp won't install windows support software

I have a MacBook 2006 with 4 gb of memory and a 2.0 ghz core 2 duo processor. It has a 7200 RPM 750 GB HD with a single partition running a clean install of os x lion. I have been trying to install windows 7 since Lion came out. If I tell boot camp to download software, It is almost done when I get an error telling me that software can't be installed. If I choose not to download software, I try to partition my HD and I get another error that I can't remember because I haven't tried in a week. I will post pictures in a day or two, but until then, PLEASE HELP ME!!!

From what I've read the "Download Update" option as you install Lion only works for some MBAirs and it's a hit or miss on all others. (mostly a miss).
You might do a Search on the error you get as there are quite a few discussions on those problems.

Problem while installing windows xp 32bit on mbp

hi i just purchased a early 2011 model macbook pro 13inch and was trying to install the windows xp 32bit on it using boot camp
however as the installation processes where it shuts down to install the windows it comes up with a black screen with the message "setup is inspecting your computer's hardware configuration..." and just freezes
the laptop itself goes completely silent i hear no cd rom running at all
anyone know wot the problem might be?
any help at this point would be great
thanks

XP support was dropped for 2011 models.
No incentive to develop drivers for new motherboard.
There is a Apple tech note.

Qosmio G30-204 - Should I install Windows 7 32bit or 64bit?

Hi folks,
I have a Qosmio G30-204. I've upgraded the RAM to 4GB. It has Windows Vista 32bit currently installed.
I'm planning on installing windows 7.
Can I install Windows 7 64bit or would it have to be the 32bit?
What is the difference between 32bit and 64bit anyway?

Hi
If you have upgraded the notebook to 4GB RAM you should install Windows 7 64bit. On all 32bit OS you can only use ~3.2GB due the 32bit limitation.
Thats also the difference between 32bit and 64bit, the supported RAM size. ;)

MSI Geforce GTX 750 Ti won't install on HP Pavillion

hello. i tried to install my MSI Geforce GTX 750 Ti into my HP Pavilion p7-1045.
the computer just freezes at the blue HP screen and starts beeping 5 times, and shuts off. power was not an issue either, since i sucessfully replaced my 250w power supply with a 600w. the power supply i upgraded my PC with was a RAIDMAX Cobra 600w Power Supply.
i tried to update my BIOS, but it didn't work. i tried using the hybrid bios switch, but that didn't work either.
any help would be appreciated

Quote from: flobelix on 19-January-15, 06:18:59
The bios of that old HP machine just includes an ME7 firmware but using a GTX7xx or later requires an ME8 firmware including bios. As you are not the first with such machine here it's a pretty sure thing that there is no update available. Still you can contact HP about it. Most likely though you can't use the card with that machine. It is not a matter of UEFI/GOP or legacy vbios.
i see... well, i have already contacted HP and they said there is nothing that can be done about it. i guess i will have to return the GPU....
looks like i should get a graphics card compatible with ME7 firmware. do you have any suggestions?
