Windows 7 Setup with SP1 unable to continue because of missing CD/DVD device drivers

I am trying to do a clean Windows 7 install on my T61p after slipstreaming SP1 and have two problems:
When I ran the new disc, Wndows 7 setup could not continue because 'CD/DVD device drivers were missing'. I found this odd because when I installed Windows 7 using the original Lenovo Windows 7 Upgrade Media (used to make the SP1 disc) no drivers were missing; and
When I reverted back to the original (non SP1) media windows setup could not install to the selected partition because of an error, which was something like 0x8000031?
Solved!

Hi,
That's a not-very-helpful catch-all error message. It can mean a lot of things, most of which are not a missing CD driver.
It's usually caused by a bad download, a bad burn, or maybe in your case a failure in the slipstreaming process.

Thanks. Yes I found so many references but deep among them a microsoft one referring to a bad burn or low quality disc. So I tried the burn but this time with the DVD RW in the Ultra Bay rather than USB which I assumes means it was a lot faster and everything has worked fne. Thanks

Windows 7 Professional with SP1 - Unbootable

From the Microsoft Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC), I downloaded
Windows 7 Professional with SP1
SW_DVD5_Win_Pro_7w_SP1_32BIT_English_-2_MLF_X17-59276.ISO
From Windows 7 Pro, I burnt a DVD from the ISO using the Windows Disc Image Burner.
I am unable to boot into the target laptop from this disc. However, I am able to boot into other bootable DVDs.
Is there something wrong with the ISO so it does not produce a bootable disc using Windows Disc Image Burner.
autorun.inf
[Autorun]
open=setup.exe
icon=setup.exe,0
Thanks in advance.

Either download has not completed correctly or burning process was not correct.
1. Try to download ISO and check the downloaded file. Do analysis with SHA1 or MD5.
2. I use CD Burner XP http://cdburnerxp.se/en/home ans have never had any problem.

Photoshop "Unable to continue because of a hardware or system error.

Originally installed adobe photoshop cs. This couldn't be activated and support was contact they advised to uninstall and install adobe photoshop cs2 with a serial number provided that was provided with the link. CS couldn't be uninstalled due to the following errors 'epmty temp folder' (which was done) 'program may be in use' (it wasn't) 'no internet connectivity' (internet connectivity was active). Support couldn't assist with this. So Cs2 was installed and activated successfully. However as soon as photoshop is started the following error is displayed "Unable to continue because of a hardware or system error. Sorry, but this error is unrecoverable." I've reset prefences and also removed the nvidia video driver after reading a thread photoshop has known issues with nvidia drivers. Also tried logging in an another user. I am now out of ideas as to what to try to get this to work. Can anyone suggest anything that may get this resolved.
Thanks

You mention a link. Did you download the special CS2 installation file, and not use an original CS2 file?
Your system originally had CS on it? CS is ten years old. How old is the computer you are using?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Photoshop#CS
How does this system stack up with the minimum requirements for CS2?

Remember these are _minimum_ requirements, which in reality means not even close!
If you think your system should be up to it, do what Station said, and give us a very full description of your system and operating system. (Unless it is Windows XP. )

Problems with installation on Windows XP Pro with SP1

Hi! I've two problems during installation.
I try to install Oracle 10g Enterprise
First:
Checking Network Configuration requirements ...
Check complete. The overall result of this check is: Not executed <<<<
Recommendation: Oracle supports installations on systems with DHCP-assigned IP addresses; However, before you can do this, you must configure the Microsoft LoopBack Adapter to be the primary network adapter on the system. See the Installation Guide for more details on installing the software on systems configured with DHCP.
Second:
Checking service pack requirements ...
Check complete. The overall result of this check is: Not executed <<<<
OUI-15038: Unable to execute rule 'CheckServicePack' from ruleset 'ServicePackChecks'. The underlying test 'oracle.sysman.oip.oipc.oipcz.OipczServicePackChecks.checkServicePack' has thrown an unhandled exception [For input string: "Pac"]. If the exception results in a failure of the test and the exception needs to be propagated, then encapsulate the exception in the result object and return the result.
Recommendation: Install the recommended Service Pack.
What I should to do?

Hey Guys,
I am Srinivas Here who had been trying to install Oracle Database 10G on Windows X86 on Windows XP Professional.
If you have Win-XP Professional as your Operating System. Do not download the oracle Database using windows - XP Professional because XP will block certain installation files while downloading. In your machine install Windows 2000 or any other Windows version as a dual boot. First the download Database Zip files using your other version of Windows Operating system and then when you Unzip the files it will create a folder called Database and all the files will be present in it.If you want to store the same to cd for having to install the 10G Rel 2 database through CD then copy the contents of the unzipped database folder and store only the contents of the database folder and write them to CD's. Please see to it that while writing on cd's do not copy the folder itself .
After this, restart the system and get into windows XP Professional (Your XP Professional should be with Service Pack 2 in order to install 10G Database on windows XP - The Basic requirements for Oracle Database 10G on Windows X86).
I request you to check the software and hardware requirements from oracle Documents before you install the Oracle Database 10G on Windows x86 as well as Oracle Database 10G on Linux X86 or any other operating systems.
Finally, After you run the Oracle Universal installer in the last you will get messages for all products installed Success and finally it will ask the password for DBA and open the password management and give the password and reenter password and on the left you will have to unlock the items you would like to use.
In the last it will give you various URL links for Isqlplus, DBA, Enterprise Manager and a log report stored into oracle directory stored in your C:\Program files\Oracle folders. The correct link will be given at the end and you will have to watch the installation carefully.You can find DBCA and other options working. Try login in to Oracle through Command prompt, Sqlplus prompt availabe in Start ->Programs->Orahome10G->application Development-sqlplus as well as login through isqlplus link- Before this you should login at the command prompt as SYSDBA. YOU CAN SEE THAT YOUR DATABASE IS NOW WORKING IN WINDOWS XP PROFESSIONAL.
THANKS IN ADVANCE TO ALL FORUM MEMBERS WHO GAVE ME IDEA AND SUPPORT

You could restore the contents of your fonts folder, then (assuming that gets Photoshop working for you again) you could do the font cleanup more methodically, trying Photoshop to see that it still works.
Are you aware of the "Previous Versions" feature of Windows, with which you could restore the fonts?

The fonts required for Photoshop CS5 are listed at the bottom of this document:
Troubleshoot fonts | Photoshop CS5
You may want to look at performing a repair install of Windows as well. This doesn't require anything super complicated, it simply checks for missing system files and adds them back in. But you need a Windows installation disk (where the replacement files will come from).

Exchange 2010 - Email signature setup with Transport Rule - Want to disable the rule for iOS devices

So we decided to have a company wide email signature which pulls user info from AD to fill in the HTML template. What I have found out is that iOS devices send email as plain text which displays the HTML content with strings of text in emails send from
those devices. The only way I have found to make this work is have the user keep the default "Send from my iPhone" signature and exclude the rule based on that text in the body. Is there a cleaner option in case our users decide to change their default
signature on their iOS devices?

I can't find a clean answer for you.
You might use the Set-TransportRule cmdlet and one of the exception clauses to look for something in the header. I looked at an ActiveSync-generated header from my Droid (I don't have an iPhone to try this out on) and I see this:
Message-ID: [email protected]
The clause:
-ExceptIfHeaderMatchesPatterns "Message-ID:\s(\S|\s)*email.android.com"
should exclude messages sent from Droids. Of course, I can't say that it'll exclude all of them so you'll have to experiment and use trial and error.

You may need to experiment with the rule because I haven't tested it.

Unable to continue because of a hardware or system error...

...Sorry, but this error is unrecoverable.
Este problema me está matando...me sale aleatoriamente cada x tiempo sin razón aparente. No he tocado nada de configuración y ha aparecido de un día para otro al arrancar el PC. He desinstalado, reinstalado; desinstalado, reiniciado y reinstalado; lo mismo en otra partición...imposible, sigue sin arrancar. He leído en foros ingleses sobre un problema ocn excesivas fuentes...nada. Tenía mil fuentes y funcionaba ok y he instalado algunas más y borrado otras tantas y me he quedado con 500 nada más, o sea que no puede ser eso supongo. ¿Qué puedo hacer? Ayuda POR FAVOR! Gracias.

Hola Claudio
Primeramente debo aclarar que no soy ningún puritano en ningún aspecto en particular. Fui músico por muchos años de mi vida, y vi he hice de todo lo que hay por hace o mirar. Sin embargo, aunque llegué a tener algunos problemas, jamás inicie alguno por tratar de imponer mis ideas, costumbres o simplemente por comentarios maliciosos sobre otras personas.
Personalmente a mí, no me importa tanto los problemas gramaticales, especialmente en los foros de Internet, sin embargo, si me preocupan los ataques directos hacia otras personas a quienes se les ataca por el solo propósitos de atacar, sin tener alguna razón específica para ello. Por ejemplo; si en este foro, que fue creado con el propósito para problemas de Photoshop, se pregunta como hacer para conseguir una acción, y se pregunta con varios errores gramaticales, yo no tendría ningún problema personal, moral o ético, para responder. Ahora, ataques personales ya es otro cantar.
Sin moderador va a estar difícil para controlar este foro, o cualquier otro foro, por lo tanto creo yo, que es el deber de todos de tratar de mantener este lugar exclusivamente para lo que fue creado. Quizás deberíamos tratar de abrir otro fólder para temas mas abiertos, como un café (?) Quizás en el fólder de Otros Temas?
Tus sugerencias y la de otros serian valiosísima para intentar algo así. Por ejemplo, yo radico en el norte de California y quizás alguien necesite fotografías de San Francisco o Yosemite, o hablar del clima en España, Chile, o de cualquier otro país. Las ganancias y conocimientos serian tremendas creo yo. Y no lo digo como negocio, sino como crecimiento personal.
Como sea Claudio, gracias por tu contestación, y créemelo que no esperaba menos de ti.
Un saludo y un fuerte apretón de manos.
Sin más
