Windows 8 asks for media drivers during install

I have a 2009 Macbook intel 2.26 core dual with 4 gigs of ram and Mountain Lion installed. I downloaded and burned to a DVD the full (not preview release or beta) Windows 8 from MSDN. Boot Camp creates the partiion then restarts, after the intial set up begins a pop up window asks for media drivers. I used Browse but could not find any. I am thinking that Windows 8 can't find the media drivers for the DVD super drive? Any ideas on how to resolve this. Should I use a usb flash drive instead?

It is 2015
"Go back to 7" is absolutely not an acceptable response. I've had this exact same problem for years and now in running the Windows 10 Tech Preview which compounds the issue by forcing broken drivers through Windows Update.
In a few months you will have THOUSANDS of customers upgrading to 10 who will be left with broken machines because YOU are too lazy to support them.

In Design CS2 "Asking for me to re install serial number"

And it denies my serial number, and did purchase the software. I have been using it for years without any problems.
I was using my PowerBook G4 yesterday in the car. I had a inDesign file open for at least 2 hours.
The file is at least a year old with continuous modification.
Tonight I went to open another inDesign C2 file at I get a window asking to Personalize Your Software. Asking for me to re install serial number.
After digging through 5 boxes of software I found the number and entered it.
It is telling me I have a invalid number - not true.

My MacBook is asking for a password to install a program, but I didn't set one.

My MacBook is asking for a password to install a program, but I didn't set one. I've just completely wiped my laptop due to corrupt files, which an Apple Genius in the store helped me with, and we didn't set a password. I'm now home and trying to download programs that I had on before, and it's asking for a password. I try to go to "change password" and it asks for the old before I can enter the new, but there is no old. What should I do?

Hello chilondon,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
The password your Mac is prompting you for is your administrator password for the computer. If none of the attempts to enter it in worked, including leaving it blank, you can reset the password by following the directions in the link below.

Solaris 8 x86 doesn't ask for default route at install time

The Solaris 8 installation program doesn't ask what the machine's default route should be. This means that when you configure DNS servers later on that aren't on the same subnet as the machine you get error messages.
Anyone know a work around?

Re: Solaris 8 x86 doesn't ask for default route at install time
I had the same problem.
I was wondering why something so essential is missing for the GUI Install, it would be possilbe a patch to correct this?, instead of configuring nsswitch, and another files.
The easier the install and admin, more users solaris will have on Intel Platform.
P.D. Sorry for my english.

The update DVD dosn't ask for the kind of install

it's my first system upgrade, but i read a lot
now that i receaved the DVD once it start the installation it dosn't ask for the kind of install
archive/upgrade/flat
why? am i missing something?

I did not see any install options either.
I was watching very carefully, or so I thought.
The process just went ahead, after the screen that asked which
drive was to get the install, and performed an Upgrade.
Took about 1 hour, 15 minutes and so far everything I've tried
works.
Hope this helps.

Satellite U940 PSU6SA - Win 7 installation ask for HDD drivers

Hi
not sure whether to put this under 'Windows 7', Mods please move as needed.
I have a Toshiba U940 PSU6SA-02K002 ultrabook which came with Windows 8 (not Pro) and I would like to install windows 7 on it. It has a 500 GB Hitachi and a small 32GB mSATA SSD.
It is already running Toshiba's latest BIOS 1.30.
I have turned off secure boot and UEFI, can boot and start the windows 7 install from USB but it is looking for extra drivers that I can't work out. I have tried various windows 7 drivers that Toshiba had on their site for the 940 Ultrabooks but without luck. (Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver, Intel Chipset Software Utility, USB 3 driver and Intel Display Driver).
I'm unziping the drivers onto a separate USB and the install is finding them but they don't seem to be what it is looking for.
Any suggestions or a guide? Thanks

What you need is SATA driver that must be loaded before Win7 installation starts.
Please download it from here .
Ive used it to install Win7 on my U940.

Windows 7 asking for storage driver TS140

Brand new TS 140 is asking for the hard disk driver when I attempt to install Windows 7. It does not see any hard drive. I have been attempting all sorts of advice such as BIOS etc.., but nothing works. I am having trouble trying to pinpoint an exact driver as well. I have to temporary disconnect the hard drive to attempt to install. Please advise. Thanks,Jon

Hi ,
In addition to J W Stuart said, you can also reload the USB Mass Storage Driver.
1. Click "Start", type in Device Manager the Search bar and press "Enter". Click Continue if necessary.
2. In Device Manager, double click to expand "Universal Serial Bus controllers", right click on the "
USB Mass Storage Driver ", click "Uninstall" and click "OK".
Then, restart your computer and Windows 7 will reinstall it automatically.
Hope it helps.

HT4865 I hadnt had a keychain set up before I updated to Maverick, now its asking for a keychain during the start up and i cant access my mac because of it

I'm not able to use my mac book because i didnt set up a keychain before the new IOS was installed, I've created a keychain on my phone but as of yet have recieved no info as to how to get onto my macbook because irts continueously asking for a "keychain passcode" which apparently I dont have.... I've tried literally every passcode ive ever had for anything and nothing works... please help me :-*(

I responded to your first post and assumed that you didn't have a computer. If I was wrong, I apologize for misreading your question.
Did you totally erase the device and not restore from a backup? If you totally erased the device and set up as new, the passcode should not be on the device.

Contact your college network support. The syntax for specifying your authentication may be different than you usually use when you are just connecting there locally.

When I put the arrow on an internet link in an e-mail, a blue "F share" panel appears and stays when the link opens. Click on it, a window opens asking for login. I don't want to share anything on Facebook just to get rid of this intrusive bloody thing?

Media Failure during install from known good source

Our corporate environment does not allow our users to install the core Creative Cloud application & subsequently download & install packages. Our third party license management company has downloaded and created an installation package (using the creative cloud packager) for the entire suite.
I tested this installation package by copying it to my workstation and running through it via an admin command prompt. This worked without issue.
When I came to run through the install on a series of 4 Production workstations, I followed the same process - copied the package to the local drive (from the same source media) & ran the install from an admin command prompt. On the production workstations, the installation failed (Error message 1496 Media Failed (FLBR4.7en_US)). This was also the case after I copied the offending folder directly from the known working local copy on my workstation.
I have a couple of questions...
What is this component? (Presumably I can identify this, exclude it from the package & create a standalone install for this if required?);
Is there any way of validating the folder or content prior to the install in order to avoid this in future (the failure occurs around 90 minutes into the install and the installer subsequently spends a further 90 minutes reverting the installation - so avoiding the 3 hour failure cycle would be great)?;
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated...

Hi Richard,
This looks an issue installing Adobe flash builder (FLBR4.7en_US) and prompting error 1496 which means installer could not write value Folders. can you please make sure, you have sufficient permission to below locations.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe
C:\Program Files\ADOBE
Thanks,
Ashish
