Thanks peerOne for volunteering your opinion. I was hoping for a company representative to offer some concrete steps to help out so that I would not have to format ie not loose my dataNo from my understanding upgrading sometimes can make it hard to get your data back unless it made a backup of the previous O/S install. And clean install will wipe everything clean and if you didn't backup the data then it is gone.

  • "Windows 8.1 installation has failed"

    Downloaded the Enterprise iso of 8.1 from the Volume Licensing site.  Currently running Windows 8 64 bit Enterprise.  Downloaded 8.1 64 bit
    enterprise.  Mounted iso, ran setup, after licensing agreement and choosing data migration options received the error "Windows 8.1 installation has failed" .  Googled around, and didn't see this exact problem.  There is no error code,
    nothing in the logs, nothing at all.  Just the message "Windows 8.1 installation has failed".  Tried several downloads of the iso, on multiple Windows 8 boxes.  
    Could a group policy setting, or something else related to these machines being on a domain be causing our issues?  If not, the lack of error codes is making the issue next to impossible to debug.  
    Anyone out there able to help?
    Thanks
    p.s.  already verified that update kb2871389 was installed.

    Hi,
    Which log did you checked, could you find the setup.etl file in %WINDIR%\Panther?
    It should have $windows.~bt\Sources\Panther log file. please check it.
    You can refer to the link below for more details about Windows 8 installation log.

    If problem persists, I would like to suggest you to make a clean install on other drive for test, to make sure this problem was not caused by hardware problem.
    Note: before Windows installation, please backup all files on the drive which Windows 8.1 would be installed. Also make sure the hardware driver such as BIOS, Motherboard was upgrade to be latest.

  • Windows 8 64-bit, failed installations and RAID 1 resync on HP ENVY h8-1520z

    I recently purchased an HP Envy h8-1520z with a single SSD and 8 GB RAM running Windows 8 Pro 64-bit.  I installed 2 Western Digital 500 GB WDC WD5000AAKX-001CA0 HDDs on SATA ports 5 & 6 and configured them as RAID 1 in the BIOS.  I have started installing apps on the RAID 1 array (E since the SSD is only 256 GB.
    While installing software, some install fine, but often the installation hangs with no errors indicated and I have to kill the installer task through task manager.  I usually follow that with a system shutdown or restart and almost every time that results in a resync of the RAID array.  Sometimes the shutdown or restart is quick, and other times it takes several minutes with intermittent disk activity as indicated by the drive light.  I have sometimes given up after 10 minutes or so and powered down by holding down the power button.  I can understand a resync after the forced power down, but it seems that all it takes to cause a resync is a failed installation, and that seem to happen a lot, even with software that explicitly says it is Windows 8 compatible.  Sometimes the applications run fine even after an apparently failed installation and other times not so much.
    Has anybody else seen this behavior or have any suggestions?  I’d like to get this sorted out before I load any more software.

    Hi,
    Did you check each hard drive for straps? There should not be any straps installed on the hard drive. These drives do have strapping posts.
    Did you use the AMD RaidExpert to create the array volume?  Did you wait until the RAID migration was complete before using the array volume?
    Check the AMD RaidExpert for errors. It's possible that you have a bad hard drive(s).
    Many applications want to be installed on the C drive.  Your SSD is 256GB so you should have plenty of space for most applications and the application performance will be improved.  Use the RAID 1 array to keep and store your data. The mirroring process of RAID 1 will protect it in case one hard drive fails.
    You might want to consider removing all of the data etx.. from the array, use the AMD RAIDExpert to delete out the array volume.  I would then run for hard drive diagnostics.  If the hard drives are free from errors then use disk management to separately reformat each hard drive.  Now go back to the AMD RaidExpert and create your new array volume.
    Be sure to review the software and bios updates for your PC.

  • Cant download itunes 10 using windows vista error installation of assembly policy 8.0 microsoft VC80.CRT

    cant download itunes 10 using windows vista erroe about installation of assembly

    These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
    Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
    If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? (For example, 8007000B.)

  • Windows Update does not work, Windows Standalone Update Installer stops with error 0xc8000247 (Windows 7 Home Premium on Acer Aspire 1810TZ notebook)

    I purchased a new notebook with Windows 7 in October. During the first weeks I uninstalled McAfee and replaced the harddrive. Since November Windows Update fails with error messages and defender does not start anymore. I made several virus scans (complete) with multiple antivirus programs but nothing showed up.
    Since it took my days to install various software, I do not want to re-install W7. I also have no good backup that I could restore. 
    I am really surprised that there is not even a single entry regarding the error code in the Microsoft Knowledge base or elsewhere.
    I really would appreciate help. 

    I hit this same problem... I spent days trying to figure out what went wrong. MS advise of doing; Windows7 re-installs, BIOS/firmware updates, drivers changed, etc etc etc.
    I installed a new(large) SEAGATE Momentus XT hybrid 750GB SATA drive upon newly purchased notebook, but the twist here is between the storage configuration mode in the BIOS, ATA vs. AHCI. See, the DELL BIOS required to configure my laptop storage for AHCI
    mode, because I had the 4GB Intel Flash Cache Module (Turbo Memory) installed on the DELL Precision notebook. The Flash Cache is installed internally in the mini-pcie slot, loaded the Intel storage drivers, and when it works, is an outstanding feature which
    supports:
    Windows ReadyDrive*
    Windows ReadyBoost*
     Looking at the details of the Intel storage drivers that support the INTEL TURBO MEMORY, they're from 2009. Of course it was recommended by users to install these drivers first before anything else, so it would function best, but this was part of the
    cause to all the problems with Windows 7.  I've provided links to Intel Flash Cache info for those interested. Unfortunately, loading the HP/Intel Storage drivers fixes the Windows permissions/update problems, but "Breaks" the Intel Turbo Flash Cache
    functionality now, even though Microsoft still supports ReadyDrive in Windows 7.
    "Intel® Turbo Memory is a primary PC component, along with the CPU, chipset, and system memory. It caches large amounts of frequently used data or user selected applications for faster access by the processor. This decreases the need for hard-disk accesses,
    saving both time and power, which equates to increased performance and energy efficiency. That's good news for users who run data-intensive software like media applications. It's also a good match to the substantial system requirements to load and run Windows
    Vista*.
    Intel Turbo Memory is a single solution that accelerates data transfer both to and from the processor."
    Intel discontinued support for the modules or drivers with the marketing move to producing their own SSD storage drives.

    For me, I hit all the symptoms everyone else hit and thanks to humphrey for his find. I just wish Microsoft/Intel would get together and fix this Windows 7 issue between SW/HW; Large Drive Sizes, Licensing/Permissions, Flash Memory, ATA vs. ACHI, BIOS, etc.
    There's been an incredible amount of loss productivity, resources, and costs incurred on this one ISSUE by everyone involved.

  • Can't boot from windows 7 usb installation media

    When trying to boot from windows 7 usb installation media no efi boot option availiable. Using "boot from efi file" option whith each and every .efi file on installation media results in a message saying "The selected boot device failed. Press <Enter> to Continue". 
    USB installation media created using original windows 7 iso image and couple diskpart commands(resulting in clean flash storage with a single active primary partition) plus simple copying of the iso image's contents on usb flash. 
    Enabling/Disabling SecureBoot doesn't have any impact whatsoever. 
    Installation boots from aforementioned media successfully when CSM enabled, though i would really prefer installing Windows 7 in uefi mode. Which microsoft claims Windows 7 supports. 
    Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. 
    PS: my disappointment in this particular HP notebook is unspeakable. Aside from issue of the current topic, It keeps defaulting to windows boot manager when dual-booting windows & linux no matter what i do, and windows 8.1 Pro is constantly BSODing whenever i try to run fullscreen games on high-performance GPU whith every graphics driver i could possibly install (including both hp's own and amd's). Found silly workarounds for both of these issues, however still hate HP treating it's customers that way.

    Booting from USB 2.0 port or DVD with SecureBoot disabled gets me to a screen saying "starting windows", just before the actual setup begins and then system simply hangs. Still unable to install. Thanks for your suggestion though.

  • Windows Update failed to check for updates with error 0x800B0001

    Hi all,
    I have a WSUS installed on a Windows Server 2008 R2 box, I have a new Windows Server 2012 box (joined to domain) that cannot get updates from the WSUS, whenever I try to search for new updates I receive the following error in event viewer:
    Windows Update failed to check for updates with error 0x800B0001
    Note: I cannot see the Win2K12 server in the WSUS console under computers node.

    I couldn't get it to run even after installing the mentioned KB fixes. So I investigated the error myself, and found a "hack" that seems to fix the issue. Wrote up a small piece on it here:
    http://tplive.azurewebsites.net/2013/12/windows-update-error/
    You and about a thousand other people have reported "I had already installed [the update], but installing it AGAIN fixed the problem.", which is almost assuredly a simple indication that the original installation of the update failed, and you simply did
    not recognize that the installation of the update was not successful.
    The fact that the /selfupdate folder was corrupted (read: missing files) pretty much says it all. There's no bug. Your installation of the update simply failed. (Or, the server wasn't healthy to begin with and you got what you got.)
    Bottom line: The only known cause for a client-side 0x800B0001 error code is that the WSUS server has not been
    properly and completely patched.

Why is it that Windows 7 fails to start-up and is there anything I can do to resolve this issue?

  • Installer Logs Location for Troubleshooting Failed Installs.

    I'm attempting to troubleshoot failed installations on packages built with the Mac version of AAMEE 3.0.  Where are the installer logs located that give relevant failure information?  The system log only passes along the generic "The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance." message when the install fails.  Thanks.

    The detail logs can be found at PDApp.log file present in user specific temp folder. You can find this folder using %temp%\PDApp.log (if msi is run from logged-in user account) OR [BootDrive]:\windows\Temp\PDAp.log. (No user logged in)

  • Equium A300D-16C - Windows has failed to start

    I have a Toshiba Equium A300D-16C and all of a sudden it starts up and goes onto windows boot manager and says that Windows has failed to start and it wont let me do anything else.
    I really dont know what to do and all my uni work is on it.
    It says to put the windows installation disk but its not responding to any disks what so ever.
    If anyone could help Id be grateful
    Thanks

    hi Lashay
    guessing you have xp on this unit try to reinstall bootfiles.
    seems that windows has lost some files...
    this could be software or a hardware issue...
    "fixboot " and "fixmbr" on recovery console should do this job.
    safest way is to get a new hdd and a hdd-usb-adapter!
    install operating system on the new hdd,
    then connect the old hdd using the usb-adapter to the new system and transfer all user files.
    not the system files or maybe you will get the same trouble again!
    if there is a serious problem on the hdd its getting worse with every attemp to read the disk...

  • Error: Windows Vista failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause

    PLEASE HELP!
    My Lenovo SL500 is not working at all - I get error: "Windows Vista failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause"
    I tried the following on my Lenovo:
    Windows repair menu = "windows cannot be repaired"
    Lenovo Rescue and Repair 
    Rescued my files from Hard-drive (copied to external hdd)
    Restore System = Failed
    Diagnose hardware = HDD passes all tests
    Don't know what else to do with = Boot from another device ? Access BIOS?
    Because I do not have the windows vista install disks
    I purchased and downloaded the recovery disks from neosmart.net
    The neosmart windows vista recovery disks DO NOT WORK = Error is "Unable to find any valid Windows partitions on this computer".
    The Hard-drive exists because I was able to back-up files from HD through (Lenovo Rescue & Recovery Rescue files). So there is a hard-drive.
    I don't know what to do next? 
    Last resort is to Factory Restore via either the Lenovo R&R or Windows Vista Recovery Disks (neosmart)?
    Will I still have windows? 
    PLEASE HELP!

    Hi, Josemne
    Yes, if you can restore the system through Rescue & Recovery, then you will still have WIndows on your machine, but all your files will be deleted from the hard drive. Luckily, you have already saved those files elsewhere. I would recommend trying to restore the system and see if that works.

  • Windows 8.1 Installation On Mac - Got a Problem

    Windows 8.1 Installation On Mac - Got a Problem
    Hi everyone,
    I'v researched a lot about installing Win on Mac but I still got a problem when everything seems to be fine.
    I got a Macbook Pro Retina, Late 2013 with OSX Mavericks and Bootcamp 5 installed on. And for installing windows, I already got an empty 8GB USB Drive formatted as MS-DOS (FAT32). And I've prepared Windows 8.1 ISO in my Downloads folder.
    During my last effort, I opened Bootcamp Assist and then Chose the options: "Create Windows 7 or later version installation disk" and "Download the latest windows support software from Apple". Then I chose my Windows 8.1 ISO location and my destination. When it finished ,I was expecting it to run windows setup. But it closed and nothing happened
    When I opened BootCamp again, only the first two options were available as before and "Install or remove Windows 7 or later" wasn't.
    Now ,what do I have to do exactly? (NOTE: I'm not a professional. So please answer in a simple way. )
    Should I restart the Mac and Hold OPTION while booting to run Windows setup? I was thinking about it but I thought I might screw it up all. So I decided to ask it here to be sure.
    Any help will be appreciated by heart!

    Hi Alcatrax,
    I would recommend following the steps in this link in order to help you complete your installation of Boot Camp:
    Boot Camp Help: Install Windows on your Mac
    https://help.apple.com/bootcamp/mac/5.0/help/#apdecf0e4b6-b472-438d-881e-57c230b 1c250
    Prepare your Mac for Windows
    Boot Camp Assistant helps prepare your Mac for Windows by creating a new partition for Windows and then starting the Windows installer. Optionally, you can install Windows using an external USB drive that contains a Windows ISO image downloaded from Microsoft and Windows support software.
    Important: If you’re using a portable computer, connect the power adapter before continuing.
    Insert an external drive into the USB port on your Mac and keep it inserted while you install Windows and Windows support software.
    Open Boot Camp Assistant, located in the Other folder in Launchpad.
    Select the option to install Windows, select other options you need, then click Continue.
    Here are the other options you can choose:
    If you want to install Windows from an external USB drive and you have a Windows ISO image, select the option to copy the image to an external USB drive. If this option isn’t available, your Mac doesn’t support installing Windows from an external USB drive.
    If you haven’t already downloaded the Windows support software for your Mac, select the option to download it. In a later step, you’ll install the Windows support software on your Windows partition.
    Follow the onscreen instructions for the options you selected.
    When you’re asked to create a Windows partition, specify a partition size. If you have multiple hard drives in your computer, you can select a different hard drive and create a single partition on that drive, so that the drive is solely used for Windows.
    Note: You can’t resize the partition later.
    If you need help determining the best size for your Windows partition, refer to your Windows installer documentation. For Windows 8, create a partition that is at least 30 GB.
    In a later step, you’ll format the Windows partition.
    If you are using an installation disc for the 64-bit version of Windows, insert it into the optical drive in your Mac or the external optical drive. Otherwise, keep the external USB drive with the 64-bit version of Windows inserted.
    Click Install.
    Boot Camp Assistant creates the Windows partition, restarts your Mac, then opens the Windows installer.
    Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!
    Regards,
    Braden

  • Bridge CS3 (Windows XP) fails to start because Symlib.dll was not found

    Bridge CS3 (Windows XP) fails to start because Symlib.dll was not found? How do I fix this? I've re-installed and the auto updater has run...I even downloaded and ran the patcher application? By the way Bridge CS3 doesn't show up in the CS3 program list in the start menu but it is installed in my program files - I've tried launching it directly from there as well. Bridge CS2 is operating just fine.
    Update: I installed and ran the Adobe Support Advisor, resulting in - Issues: "The module found no solutions to report for the selected log file."
    I tried to package the report and the error read: "The size of the package is too large to be handled with the current configuration! Please contact Adobe Support for additional information."
    I opened a web based report/case number at the Adobe Support Portal about the missing Symlib.dll (including the Adobe Support Advisor error). Their response was: We regret to inform you that complimentary support for your product is not available and/or has expired.

    Did Bridge work before? If so, reset preferences by holding down the Ctrl key when starting Bridge. If successful you will get a Reset Window, choose all 3 options.
