Windows 7 Download error - CDBOOT: Couldn't Find BOOTMGR

I'm downloading Windows 7 Professional from a disc. I downloaded the support software to a USB flash drive using bootcamp, and that all went fine. Then I chose the partition size, put in my Windows 7 disc, it partitioned & rebooted, and I thought it was supposed to boot up to the Windows installation. But it comes up with a black screen with a flashing prompt up in the upper left corner. So then I read on further in the bootcamp instructions & it said if I had problems restart the computer holing the option key, which I did. The screen comes up with the choice to pic MacHD or the Windows CD. I click on the Windows CD & it goes to another black screen, but now up in the upper left hand corner it says CDBOOT: Couldn't find BOOTMGR. So then I talked to an Apple Senior Tech & he told me the Windows disc had to be damaged or no good. So I went to the place I bought it & they gave me another copy. I came home & restarted my computer again holding the option key, selected the Windows CD & the same error comes up! I can't imagine having 2 bad copies of Windows 7. So what could the problem be? PLEASE HELP!!! Thanks!

Do you have any USB drives inserted into the machine at the time of restart? If you have the flash drive that contains the Bootcap drivers plugged in while trying to boot to cd it could cause problems. I know I have run into this exact problem before. I know logically Windows should be able to tell that if a drive doesn't have an OS it shouldn't try to boot to it but Windows is stupid so it doesn't think like a Mac. Just uplug all USB devices except mouse keyboard and External CD Drive if there is one. Makes it easier for Windows. If this doesn't help let us know and we will try to think of somethign else.

  • Windows Update Error Code 8007273D: Cannot Find Solution

    When trying to update Windows, I'm running into error code 8007273D.  When I click the link "Get help with this error", it takes me to a generic page.  After doing a help search for this code, nothing turns up.  After surfing the Microsoft website with this code, I just get a bunch of rabbit trails that lead to nothing.  It seems that the the person(s) having this problem just kept being sent to different locations for the answer, but never got one.  Can anyone help?

    Hi,
    Generally, the Windows Update issue can be caused by one of the following factors:
    1. The Windows Update service has been stopped.
    2. Corrupted Windows Update Temporary folder.
    In order to narrow down the cause of this issue and resolve it, you can refer to the following steps. After finishing each step, please check the result again on the Windows Update website.
    NOTE: Some third party programs can affect the Windows Update service. If you are running any third party applications such as Spyblocker, Internet or web accelerators (programs designed to boost the speed of the Internet connection), security or anti-virus programs (Norton, McAfee, etc.), I recommend we temporarily disable or shut them down and then try accessing Windows Update later. Please understand that we are disabling these programs only for the purpose of troubleshooting and we can re-enable these programs after we finish troubleshooting.
    Step 1: Verify the relevant Windows Update services
    ================================
    1. Click the "Start" Button, in “Search” bar, type: "services.msc" (without quotes) and press Enter. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    2. Double click the service "Windows Update".
    3. Click on the "General" tab; make sure the "Startup Type" is "Automatic" or "Manual". Then please click the "Start" button under "Service Status" to start the service.
    4. Please repeat the above steps with the "Background Intelligent Transfer Service" service.
    You can also temporarily stop these services, restart the computer, and then start these services again. If any service is missing or cannot be stopped or restarted, please let me know.
    Step 2: Rename the Windows Update Softwaredistribution folder
    ================================
    This problem may occur if the Windows Update Software distribution folder has been corrupted. We can refer to the following steps to rename this folder. Please note that the folder will be re-created the next time we visit the Windows Update site.
    1. Close all the open windows.
    2. Click the "Start" Button, click "All programs", and click "Accessories".
    3. Right-click "Command Prompt", and click "Run as administrator".
    4. In "Administrator: Command Prompt" window, type in "net stop WuAuServ" (without the quotes) and press Enter.
    Note: Please look at the cmd window and make sure it says that it was successfully stopped before we try to rename the folder. However, if it fails, please let me know before performing any further steps and include any error messages you may have received when it failed.
    5. Click the Start Button, in the "Start Search" box, type in "%windir%" (without the quotes) and press Enter.
    6. In the opened folder, look for the folder named "SoftwareDistribution".
    7. Right-click on the folder, select Rename and type "SDold" (without the quotes) to rename this folder.
    8. While still in the "Administrator: Command Prompt" window, type the command "net start WuAuServ" (without the quotes) in the opened window to restart the Windows Updates service.
    Note: Please look at the cmd window and make sure it says that it was successfully started. However, if it failed, please let me know before performing any further steps and include any error messages you may have received when it failed.
    If the issue persists, to clarify the issue and provide more accurate troubleshooting steps, would you please upload the following information to SkyDrive and provide us the link for analyzing?
    How to capture a screenshot
    ================================
    1. Press the Print Screen key (PrtScn) on your keyboard.

    3. In the Paint program, click the "Edit" menu, click "Paste". Then click the "File" menu, and click "Save".
    4. The "Save As" dialogue box will appear. Type a file name in the "File name:" box, for example: "screenshot".
    5. Make sure "JPEG (*.JPG;*.JPEG;*.JPE;*.JFIF)" is selected in the "Save as type" box, click "Desktop" on the left pane and then click "Save".
    How to collect the System Information
    ================================
    1. Click the "Start" Button, type "MSINFO32" in the Search Bar and press Enter to start System Information.

    Greetings All,
    I am getting this message from the Creative Cloud...  "Download Error" and looking to find out how to rectify this.  I have read some of the forum responses; However, losing internet connection is ruled out (I am on it now, the internet), therefore, there has to be some other solution?  Any help will be appreciated.

  • Keep getting "Download Error" when using Adobe Application Manager. Have tried from different areas.

    I'm trying to update my CC Illustrator, as there is an issue that has apparently been resolved with a new update.
    Whenever I try to update Illustrator, or even download a new application, I get an error window "Download Error.  Try again or contact customer support."
    I have tried to download both directly from Adobe Application Manager and from the Creative Cloud website itself.  I have restarted my computer.   This has been happening for 2 days now.  Just can't seem to connect with Adobe Application Manager. 
    At one  point I got a window message that said to check the Adobe Site Status, and all looked green and fine there. 
    And this forum appears to be the only "customer support" ???!  I don't see any chat help or phone help.  Is that true?
    I can go back to CS4 Illustrator to get the feature that I need (zoom in/out using magic mouse+Option, which is my favorite and essential Illustrator shortcut) but obviously will need to update and download more CC features and programs in the near future.
    Thank you for anyone who can help me.

    I have usb driver in may macbook pro 15 retina. When I installed windows 7 and try to download windows support into a CD, boot camp always said it couldn't find my usb driver. My mac version is 10.8.3

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Install the Windows support software from the USB drive. Note that Boot Camp Assistant, in OS X 10.8.3, doesn't support the option to burn the Windows support software into a disc.
    Instead, you can try a different thing. Start in Windows and download the Windows support software in it > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1638 Then, decompress the file and run the Boot Camp drivers installer.
    If you can't access to the Internet in Windows, start in OS X and download the Windows support software from the same link. Decompress the file, right-click the folder which will show up after decompressing the file and select "Burn". Finally, start in Windows and install the Boot Camp drivers

  • Windows 7 Backup "The System cannot find the path specified" - Error Code 0x80070003

    I'm having severe problems backing up my own machine to a share on our
    FILE-SERVER as \\FILE-SERVER\Backup\
    I have already backed up another PC successfully using exactly the same settings I have used on my own PC. So I presume it is nothing to do with the
    FILE-SERVER or the Backup settings.  It has to be something to do with what I'm trying to backup from my machine.
    First some background.
     This exercise all began when the Windows Server 2008 r2
    O/S fell over on one of our Servers. I tried reinstalling the O/S several times, without success. In the end I grabbed another drive and re-built the O/S. I then had problems promoting it to a Domain Controller on the network.
     In the end I renamed the Server from FILESERVER
    to FILE-SERVER.
    We routinely share four folders on what is now
    FILE-SERVER:
    \\FILE-SERVER\Backup
    - a Folder where backups from all other machines are written, so that they will be backed up with the Server
    \\FILE-SERVER\Company
    - holds all our Company data
    \\FILE-SERVER\GEM
    - this is the application folder for our own database
    \\FILE-SERVER\Install
    - holds all Install files for the software we use
    These are all held on a RAID 1 Array that is separate from the System Disk that fell over.
    Prior to the Server falling over, I had Backup working fine on my machine. 
    On my Notebook PC I had made these shared folders 'Available Offline', so that I still had everything available to me when I was out of the office. They were
    of course shared as \\FILESERVER\... not \\FILE-SERVER\...
    Having got the Server up and going again, I began to get the Backups from the Windows 7 Client PC's going again.
     I started with a Desktop, which of course did not have any Offline Files.
     That proved relatively straight-forward.
    I then started with my machine. Initially I did not make the above shared folders 'Available Offline'. I set up my Backup using exactly the same settings that
    had worked OK on the desktop machine. But when I ran the backup I got:
    The System cannot find the path specified, Error Code 0x80070003
    I tried all sorts of things to get it to work:
    I restored the system to the earliest point possible,
    I ran chkdsk,
    I defragged the drive
    All to no avail, so I tried backing up:
    with and without a system image,
    reducing the backup to a single folder, 
    a single Folder with only one .txt file in it, 
    making the Folders 'Available Offline' again.
    Nothing made any difference.
     In the end I looked in the Sync Center to look at the Offline Files Folder.
     Under Mapped Network Drives I discovered I still had the Files and Folders from
    \\FILESERVER.  In their Shortcut Menu 'Always Available Offline' was greyed out. So I deleted the Offline Copies. This deleted the Files in the Folders but not the Folders.
    Since I could find no way of deleting the old Mapped Network Drives, I decided I'd painted myself into a corner by renaming the Server.
     So I bit the bullet and re-installed my Notebook too.  This did get rid of the unwanted old Mapped Network Drives - BUT NOT THE ERROR!!
    I’ve been through all the troubleshooting procedures in: 
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/629597bb-7be0-455c-b81e-a149472d3f9b/windows-7-backup-the-system-cannot-find-the-path-specified-error-0x80070003?forum=w7itprogeneral
    Method 1
    It had none of the symptoms reported in  
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/973455 
    but I scanned for ‘reparse’ points anyway.  Found several “Junction Points” but none that were “Mounted Volumes”, just ordinary ‘File Folders’.
    Method 2
    Check a drive for errors. 
    Looked at: 
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Check-a-drive-for-errors
    Checked
    both boxes.  I closed machine down, to check for errors when it re-started. 
    It didn’t seem to find anything. 
    I say seem, because I did not actually see it finishing checking the empty space, but stages 1-4 found no problems and Windows 7 restarted normally. 
    It did detect 66 ‘Reparse’ Points, which is more than it found when I scanned for them earlier. 
    Method 3
    Yes, I am an administrator or my own machine and, as such, I have ‘Full Access’.
    I downloaded an ran the Process Monitor, filtering for Process Name “Wbengine.exe”, but did dot get a single event. 
    So I’m not sure what’s going on.
    HELP - I'm out of ideas!
    I have a WORD Document that documents all the Settings I've used on both the Server and the Clients, together with the reasoning behind those settings, but
    I cannot find a way of uploading it.

    I am having the exact same problem with Windows 7 Professional. Out of the blue, this issue just started a few months ago when running my monthly Windows Backup where I have used a USB drive for the last 3 years, and never ever had this issue before. Most
    of the solutions listed on the Microsoft websites and answers deal with
    "Restore" functions, not the
    "Backup" itself. I have 3 folders being skipped during the backup.
    So I went and changed the Backup from "let Microsoft choose files, directories, etc" to "Let me choose". I included the files and folders that were being skipped, and ran the "Backup" again, and got the same error message,
    but the files that were skipped the first time were "Backed up" finally. This issue is somehow related to my "Libraries"?
    The 3 backup problems are:
    Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book Recordings. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
    Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book CD Label-Cover Art. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
    Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book MP3 Tag Art. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
    Did a "checkdisk" - no problems. Ran a program to fix registry - no problems. All updates up to date. I guess I could eliminate these folders from the Backup folders in the
    Library, and just choose them under the "Users" locations, and be done with it. But I really want to understand this, and fix it. This is within Windows 7 and may be related to Windows Media Player or
    some recent Windows update.  Thanks.

    Thanks a lot.
    Sincerely,

    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 ;-)
