SATA - WINDOWS XP INSTALL ISSUE

MSI 975X Platinum PowerUp Edition
CORE 2 DUO 6400
Neo HE 430 power supply
Impossible to install Windows XP on my SATA Drive Deskstar T7K250.
Is there a special settings for BIOS ?
Where can I find a driver for XP installation (after F6) ?
Please help a non-english MSI card owner

[SOLVED]
I am working on this issue since yesterday and now I know : my XP CDROM is damaged.
it is possible to copy it or open files (with an other computer) but just at the beginning of windows install there is a blue screen for a copy error with file xxxx.
If I respond SKIP to the read error for the first 3 files windows continue to install.
I presume I should try to find an other XP disk.

Windows 7 Install Issues with Mac Pro

I have Mac Pro with Windows XP SP3 installed with Boot Camp on a separate, dedicated 250GB HD.
I purchased an upgrade version of Windows 7 Home Premium. I hoped to install the 64-bit version. I upgraded, per Boot Camp I&S Guide, Boot Camp to version 3.1. After Boot Camp upgrade, I mounted the Windows 7 64-bit installation disk. Since the Windows disk did not open automatically, I then attempted to open the Setup.exe file but got the following error message –
“D:/setup.exe is not a valid Win 32 application.”
I suspect the Boot Camp 3.1 upgrade was for the 32-bit Windows XP system currently installed and this caused Windows 7 (64-bit) not to open.
If my suspicion is correct, would upgrading to Boot Camp 3.1 (64-bit) cause problems with the currently installed Windows XP? Any advice would be appreciated.

I have since attempted to boot from the Windows 7 install disk by using both the OS 10.6.3 System Preferences/Startup Disk and from within Windows XP using the Boot Camp Control Panel. In both cases, all I saw was a black screen with a “Select CD-ROM Boot Type” and flashing cursor. No keyboard input was possible.
If anyone encounters this problem, go to the Boot Camp/Installation and Storage discussion and search for “Select CD-ROM Boot Type”. Hal Jay Greene has an excellent article here titled “Select CD-ROM Boot Type Error installing Windows 7 in Boot Camp walkthrough” dated Mar 20, 2010 that walks one through the process of creating a boot disk for installing Windows 7 x64. Two minor comments on his discussion. John Anderson’s blog is at www.AndersonsHatch.com (note extra s) and Imgburn can be downloaded free from www.imgburn.com.
I used Mr. Greene’s procedure and the resultant boot disk loaded Windows 7 correctly.
Unfortunately, a new issue arose. Installing Windows 7 over Windows XP requires a clean install that eliminates all Boot Camp installations. After installing Windows 7, I attempted to load Boot Camp by inserting the Mac SL installation disk and clicking on Setup in the Boot Camp folder. The result was this error message: “Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model”. Fortunately, there is a procedure that worked for me, and my MacPro, to bypass this error message. It can be found near the bottom of this article http://blog.andersonshatch.com/2009/01/11/windows-7-x64-on-a-macbook-pro-guide/ on John Anderson’s blog.

Bootcamp Windows 7 install issues...can't pick a partition and drivers problem

I have two issues actually.
1. When I attempt to install Windows the setup begins but then it says that some required drivers aren't available. It tells me that I can eject the installation CD for this portion and put in a disc that has the drivers, but I can't eject the Windows 7 install disc. The eject key doesn't work and there's no manual eject pinhole on an iMac.
2. At the beginning of the setup, I'm not getting a prompt that tells me to select the partition to install it on. I don't know if that's supposed to come later but I don't want to install Windows over my Mac OS X partition.
What am I missing here?

I have this exact same problem with a 2010 iMac. I miraculously installed windows 7 back in 2010, but somehow in 2011 I'm getting this problem.. Please help!
I've tried reformatting my whole HDD, fresh installing snow leopard and then boot camp, and the same exact problem occurs. I am using a retail copy of Windows 7 Home Premium. It is an OEM version - is yours also OEM?
I have also using the windows 7 dvd to usb tool, and connected a usb stick with windows in it, but this doesn't help. I have NO IDEA what drivers windows is asking for on this dialogue box, as this is not specified. The only thing I can think of is drivers to read / write from the hard disk itself?
I greatly appreciate anyones ideas!

Post Windows 7 Install Issues with T500

Windows 7 install went smoothly, but everything else thereafter is not working properly:
- Updated BIOS per system update 4.0, the computer tries to reboot but is frozen with the Thinpad start up screen, fan going at full speed and all the little indicator lights for power, battery, caps lock, num lock, etc all lit up
- Ericsson F3507g Mobile Broadband Minicard is powered up, but the "connection manager" app that existed before is no longer there (I believe it was called "find wireless networks / profiles" in the start menu)
- The blue "ThinkVantage" button, when pressed, now does nothing
Help please!!
T500 / 4GB / T9600 processor

Now just got another notification from Windows: "Intel Active Management Technology (AMT, including IMEI and SOL) isn't working properly because it isn't compatible with this version of Windows" The other message: "Your wireless card isn't working properly because a compatible driver is not available for this version of Windows" ARGH!!

Windows 7 install issue with Snow Leopard

Hey Guys!
Just upgraded my Macbook Pro (Unibody Late 2008) to Snow Leopard and did all software updates. I then partitioned the drive to install Windows. When installing Windows it would only install if I reformatted the partition I wanted to install it on. So I did that. After hours of installing and udating Windows 7 I found that I did not have bootcamp on the bar at the bottom. I tried to upgrade to BootCamp 3.1 but it says Bootcamp 3.0 is needed and not present.
How do I install Bootcamp 3.0 from Windows?
How do I get back to Mac OS? I have been stuck (ugh!!!) in Windows since Friday...
I tried to download the pdf file to read about installing Windows 7 but Windows will not install Acrobat Reader (I really hate windows), fought with it for 1 hour trying to install it.
anyways thanks in advance for the help

Hey Guys
I eventually solved the Boot Camp Problem but then shortly after that had a different problem crop up.
It will not boot my Mac OS, it says the partition is corrupted. Even if I boot from an install disk, it will not mount the Mac portion of the Hard drive. Best info I can get on the issue is that part of my B Tree is too large? Mac Repair utility will not fix it.
Suggestions? Even if I cannot use the partition as a bootable drive I would like to get my data from that disk. Unfortunately I do not seem to have a backup of the data on that drive.
thanks

Windows 8 Install issues with Elements 6

Does anyone know if Photoshop Elements 6 is compatible with Windows 8. Just got a new PC, and Windows 8 is confusing enough. Now I am running into issues trying to install Elements 6. It just hangs at the installation window

Windows 8 is not the officially supported version for Elements 6. I would suggest that you upgrade to Photoshop Elements 11, which is supported. Apart from all the amazing new features over so many versions, the new upgrade has been redesigned to make the process of editing and organizing photos much simpler.
Thanks,

Windows xp install issue

Made the switch to MAC from PC but need to install bootcamp for one program I need but it only runs on windows.
I have walked thru the boot camp assistant and partitioned the drive. I have inserted the full-version Windows XP home disk (purchased new to avoid any issues) and the screen has gone black and says, "No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key" - nothing happens
help?

If you go to the Boot Camp Support page, it discusses this problem in the FAQ. You should probably remove the Boot Camp partition, recreate it, and be sure to do a full format when you let Windows install onto the C: partition.

Surface RT Windows 8 - Install Issue

I am using a Surface RT with Windows 8. Am I not able to download flashplayer/adobe?

Flash Player is included as a built-in component for Internet Explorer on Windows 8 and higher. Updates are delivered via Windows Update.
If Flash isn't working in IE, it's probably because IE has changed both how it identifies itself to remote websites, and how it processes JavaScript intended to target Internet Explorer.
You can add sites to compatibility mode to work around those issues until content developers can revise their content to conform to Microsoft's new perspectives on how content should be developed for IE.

Windows 8 Install Issue on Mac Book Pro - 2013

I am trying to install Windows 8 and get this message after going through Boot Camp. "The selected disk has an MBR partition table". Any idea on the fix? OS has been updated... using a Windows 8 store-bought disk via an Optical Drive.

Okay guess what, I found tons of movies downloaded (teens) onto itunes and stashed on my hard drive. Problem solved with movies taking up so much space. I am down from 193 gb to 26 on that. But still can I delete those extension files ending in .kext and .jars and .ccl Look similar to caches.
Thanks

Unable to install windows 7(superdrive issue)

I have iMac (mid 2011) with latest OSX (10.8.2). Seems impossible to install windows without superdrive (it just doesn't work works fine on windows).
I have googled for solution but none of them worked. I tried bootcamp method, but when it restarts failed to find USB boot and tries to boot from bootcamp partition, which results no bootable drive found.
I am not sure if this is OSX restriction by apple, but All I know that I cant install it. If someone have any idea how to fake it or how to bypass this please let me know.
IT's all about installing windows 7 dual boot on iMac without DVD. I have edited plist file so I am able to Create Boot USB from bootcamp. When I click Install in boot camp, it creates partition as it should but when Mac restarts it wont boot from USB.
I have tried with refit, I can see my USB but when I want to boot from it it shows No bootable device error. I have created USB with both Basecamp option and Microsoft official USB creator. None of the worked.

I am not sure which specific issue that is, but it definitely sounds like a hardware issue rather than a software or settings issue. Windows should not have any issues installing; if it does, that would usually point to a hardware issue of some sort.
It could even be your motherboard. Your best bet is to disconnect EVERYTHING that is not needed from the motherboard, including RAM sticks except for the least amount possible, and try installing Windows with that configuration.
Example: you need the power supply, so connect that. If you're installing from a CD/DVD, then you need a CD/DVD drive. You need at least 2 GB of RAM. You need to be able to turn on the computer, so the on/off switch needs to be connected
to the motherboard. You will need a mouse and keyboard. And so on. If this bare-minimum configuration does not work, start replacing items: use a different RAM stick, use a different mouse, use a different keyboard, etc. If, after you
do all this, it still does not work, then I would suspect that your motherboard has an issue. You can also try resetting the CMOS on your motherboard. Some motherboards have a jumper for that, and for others, simply removing the CMOS battery will
do it.
As far as IDE, AHCI, and RAID settings are concerned, this should not matter so long as whichever setting it is on when Windows is installed is the same after it is installed. For example, if it is installed using IDE, then you need to stick with IDE.
If you installed it with AHCI, then you need to stick with AHCI. Changing it after installation can make Windows not boot. There are, of course, ways around that, but it is easiest to simply be consistent.

Windows xp itunes install issue

I am attempting to install Itunes using Windows XP at Service Pack 3 with all the security updates installed. The instal begins and during the final process of setup, I receive the following error message and the Itunes instal backs out and stops.
Error message, " These is a problem with this Windows Installer package. Aprogram run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor".
I am looking for some advice after working on the Apple and Microsoft website's trying to find a solution.

Thank You B Noir for the helping hand in reapiring my problem in loading Itunes.
I ended up working with an Apple Service Tech who had me delete all the programs associated with the Apples Itune install. Quicktime, Apple Application Support, Apple Modile Device Support, Bonjour and Apple Software Update.
Each of the programs were un-installed with no issues until we started the uninstall of Apple Software Update, which your note indicated could be a cause for the install issue.
Using the Windows program "Fixit" downloaded off the Microsoft website, we determined that the registry keys for this program had become corrupted. We used Fixit filtering down to an install repair module inside if Fixit to remove the damaged program from my PC's registry then Fixit uninstalled the Apple Software Update program.
Once this was done, we were able to successfully instal Itunes using the latest Itunes install packaged found on the Apple website.
Thanks Again for your advice.

Sata win XP install woes

I have tried to install XP on the only drive inside the box which is a Maxtor SataI 80Gb HD connected to the VIA integrated controller on the MoBo, and it just won´t do it, thinking it was the drive, I tried it with a seagate and a WD Sata Drives with exactly the same result, I know it is a Sata on board thing not because of the mentioned but cause then, I installed XP in an ATA drive with no problems, thought it was XP, so I tried it with XPx64, same results on both mods, Sata and ATA.
I don´t know if it is a BIOS issue, guess it is cause I even changed MoBos, tried so with the Master2 FAR7 and another Master2 FAR, both yield exactly the same results, good no-problem installs on ATA drives and same point of failure with SATA drives.
Here is the Rig:
K8T800 Master2 FAR
2Gb Ram in two DDRs, 1Gb each, Micron reg ecc pc2700 C.L. 2.5
1 Maxtor 80Gb SATAI (or 1 80Gb Maxtor ATA, 1 40Gb ATA Seagate, 1 40gb ATA WD, always removing previous HD´s)
Tried with two different VCards: QuadroFX3000 and MSI NX6400AX
Bios on the Mobo is 1.0. Tried bios 1.+ but it kept screwing something up.
PSU is a Thermaltake 500+ single rail. (I can say there´s no problem there cause I tested it on a different setup with same load with no problems)
2 Opteron 244
1 CD on master for the ATA0
On the Bios settings, I enabled only the first device as CD and the second as Hardisk, on the order, I set the SATA drive on top (there´s always one more option even tho you have no other drives installed which reads: addon bootable device, I left this on second.
What happens:
I start the system and when it reaches the "press any key to boot the cd" I press it.
Windows XP install starts loading, then I press f6 and insert the floppy with the SATA drivers, then press S and select "SATA windows XP" from the list (topmost selection), it starts copying the files and then the system reboots and it just hangs there, apparently, it has loaded the files somewhere but it just won´t start anything...I never get to the screen where you choose the drive to format and install.
I could just avoid all this headache and get an IDE drive and install there, and just use the SATA drives as media/sotrage wise solution, but it just seems ridiculous to have a workstation board that can´t have SATA for its main start-up drive.
I have also tried installing on two SATA´s as raid0, and Raid1, with the same outcome: Zilch. :(
Ant thoughts on the matter?.
oh!, just a P.S. note, can someone please tell me how to get the updated bios and drivers for the Master FAR and the FAR7?, cause I had to talk to a support guy and he said that the support page was messy and it was tricky to find the correct issued drivers for the systems...whatever that means.

Oh!...well that was useful and so well explained, following on the excell tradition of clear and great MSI support, thnx.

P965 platnium and windows boot up issues

Hello,
I put my computer together yesterday and everything seemed to work alright. I was successfully able to install windows. The issue i have is that windows will only load up once, then it will always freeze on start up.
For example last night, I reinstalled windows, got to it to load up, installed my network driver, browsed the web for a few minutes, and then restarted the computer. Then windows froze up during start up, so i reboot, and try to boot into safe-mode, which also ends up freezing after loading a few files.
This has been very repeatable, I can always reinstall and get back into windows, but i can not restart without it freezing. I ended up downloading liveupdate and updating the bios to 1.2, but that didn't seem to help.
my computer spec-
ee6700 core2 cpu
msi p965 platinum mobo
adata 2X1gig ram *(ddr2 800 pc2 6400 1.8v)
saphire 9750 xt pciE video card
37gig wd raptor drive sata
samsung 16x dvd burner ide
*antec smartpower 450w ps
no overclocking,everything is default settings
To make the issue more complex, I took out the harddrive and dvd burner and put them back into my old computer, reinstalled windows, and was able to reboot successfully.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

power supply info has been added to original post
http://www.antec.com/specs/SP450_spe.html link to specifics
+3.3V-32.0A*
+5V-30A*
+12V1-15A*
+12V2-17A
+5V SB -2.0A
-12V-0.3A
from some of the other posts that i've read, it seems that there can be an issue between using an Sata hard drive and an IDE cdrom drive.
I'll try downloading the newest jmicron drivers.

How do I use existing sync key after Windows clean install?

Hi,
I had setup Firefox Sync on my old Windows 7 install and I have the Sync Key given during the set up. I had to clean install (format C drive) my Windows.
Is there any way I can use the old Sync Key to get all my bookmarks and stuff back?

The problem has resolved itself...
...despite spending several pointless hours trying to delete the existing BootCamp drivers without success, I finally restarted Windows yet again - and this time I was easily able to delete the existing drivers.
I then restarted my Mac, installed the latest drivers without issue and it all works just fine.
Windows, eh?!
