Windows 8 has failed to install

I have trouble installing Windows 8 on my 2012 15" MacBook Pro
I currently use windows 7 on my bootcamp partition works fine, tried upgrading to windows 8, with the windows 8 assistant goes through the loops. When installing seems to be going fine but then at some point during the process the screen just goes black and turns off; thinking this is part of the install, I left it do its thing. But 45 minutes later still the same status so I turn on my Mac boots into windows and shows the boot logo but goes into a black screen state, I force turn off then reboot again, then it saids "windows has failed to install restoring previous version of windows" and restores back to windows 7.
Anyone know why this is happening? I really want windows 8 on my computer

I don't believe Windows 8 is compatible as yet with Boot Camp.

Pod Touch 32GB MTP USB device has failed to install and can't sync.

After updating iTunes on my Win7 64bit PC, when I plug my iPod Touch 32GB in, I get the error message "MTP USB device has failed to install" and can't sync. Yesterday, everything worked well.
Need help, please!

Thank you. I removed iTunes, QT, Safari and related software, then applied a Windows update and reinstalled iTunes and related software. It solved my problem and let me sync my iPod.
Thanks!

Windows updates fail to install

Every update other than Windows Defender definition updates starting with November 18 has failed to install in Windows 8-64. Since this is on more than one installation it is a systemic Windows 8 problem as far as I am concerned. I cannot be the
only in reality beta tester of this problematic (I am seeing program/driver incompatibility issues and IE 10 has very serious flaws) OS seeing this issue. I have tried installing them individually only to see each update fail to install. On rebooting
Win 8 insists on installing any of the updates, generally fails at about 15% and has to reset and reboot. The installation fix wizard works about as well any similar applet from Microsoft which is to say not at all. Apart from "refresh" or re-install, both
non-starters for an OS that is barely a month old, what solutions are there? As noted I see program/driver issues (try running CS6 with a Radeon video card) and wonder if that is part of the problem.

Hi,
to see the cause of Windows 8 update failures, we must look for error messages in the following log files:
Please run the Windows Explorer and go to the folder "C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\" and copy all files to your document folder, also copy the setupapi.dev.log from the folder C:\Windows\Inf, the "C:\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log" and the file "C:\Windows\winsxs\poqexec.log"
to your document folder (otherwise you can't upload it), zip all files into 1 ZIP and upload the zip to your SkyDrive [1] and post a link here.

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...

HT204347 OS X has failed to install and now it asks to restart but it just keeps trying to install and I can't quit it.

OS X has failed to install on my macbook pro and now it keeps trying to install when the computer restarts and I cannot get back to how it was and ditch the upgrade! Can you tell me how to do this please?

If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main screen.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
*The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

Error 'iTunes sync Overkill 2 has failed to install'!

Hi, i have recently downloaded Overkill 2 game through itunes. When i synced my iphone, it give error 'iTunes sync Overkill 2 has failed to install'. Can anybody tell me the solution for this?

I am having the same or similar problem, wrote a simple program with xcode and it runs and loads to the iPad but when I creat the .ipa and pass it to iTunes it transfer to iPad. When transferring to iPad I get "iTunes Sync 'app name here' Failed to install. Sent to Apple as Bug # 11060939. Apple has had me update all, which I did and run thru it again and have the same results.
At this point I am wondering if it could be a setting in xcode which is also at the current level.

Windows 10 Fails To Install

Trying to upgrade to Windows 10 but having serious issues. The upgrade starts in Windows 7 Pro, asks the various questions, reboots to the install environment, finishes copying files, reboots and it goes to "Preparing Automatic Repair." Automatic repair fails to repair anything, and a reboot shows an error "A required device isn't connected or can't be accessed. Error Code: 0xc000000f." No matter what I try it fails at the exact same place. I'm to the point of having my laptop in pieces (I can reassemble) with only the bare minimum connected to get it to start, figuring it might be a driver issue. I've tried deactivating the "Data Execution Prevention," activated TPM, activated TXT, etc. and every combination I could think of. I have installed Windows 10 on the laptop with a clean install, however I cannot activate a clean Windows 10 install without first upgrading. I've posted a thread on the Microsoft community forums, however I have yet to recieve a resolution. If you would to see more info on what I've been told to try you can read it here http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-windows_install/windows-10-fails-to-install/106312ee-9876-44fe-9a40-1037a6a454d3?auth=1 I am totally lost and any new ideas would be appreciated.

G500 win8.1 window updates failing to install.

I recently purchased a Lenovo G500 in France (intel I7 2.2 ghz, 4gb ram, 500gb) with Windows 8.1 as the OS, and just got the Internet back last wednesday, so April 30th.
Since then, I've had a total 3 microsoft updates, which in and of itself is not terribly interesting, except that two of these three updates have failed, leading to the following message:
"Failure configuring Windows updates. Reverting changes. Do not turn off your computer"
Obviously in French, but that's the translation I got anyway.
So here's my question: How often does this happen? Microsoft's site tells me to wait for about 30 minutes while it resolves, but the first time it took me close to an hour (and after the 3rd restart after it showed me this, I manually turned it off after it shut down and then it installed properly). The second update worked fine and I had no problems (albeit it took well over 30 minutes to install though), yet the third (this morning) also failed to install (but this time it took less than 30 minutes, although I noticed it froze on the lenovo screen after a restart, where the "loading" circles didn't show up, although I don't know after which restarted this occurred, as I had left it to run its course while I ate breakfast).
Now that I think about it, the first update error occurred after a system error which required a restart (cause unkown, some kind of error along the lines of 0x0000000A, but I found nothing I I'm guessing I didn't see correctly), and last night I noticed my laptop had frozen when I close it, so I manually shut it down. Coincidence? The second update worked fine, and it was the only time I had maually selected restart and update, so this could be a plausible theory, although I have no idea why it froze last night. Maybe I closed it too quickly after closing chrome (although I have no idea why this would cause a freeze...).
So my questions are as follow: Has this happened to any win 8.1 users, are your updates abnormally long (well over 10 minutes), do they occurr extremely frequently (every 2-3 days, if not every day), and what could the causes be for the failure to install/reverting changes issue?
Thank you in advance for any help.

There are lots of possible reasons. Other programs interfering, insufficient permissions, AV blocking, – the list is endless.
I could say do a forum seach but that facility is as useless as the Adobe installers.

Intel Chipset Support for Windows 7 fails to install

When I tried to manually install Intel Chipset Support for Windows 7, Vista and XP (oss907ww, Version: 9.1.1.1016, Release Date: 2009/10/02, http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-73684) on my W700 with Windows 7 x64, I got the following error message:
"This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software. Setup will now exit."
The newly released System Update 4.0 also fails to install this version of Intel Chipset Support. However, the previous version, Intel Chipset Support for Windows Vista, XP and 2000 (oss803ww, Version: 8.7.0.1007, Release Date: 2008/08/20, http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-70315) installs and works fine on my current system. Has anyone else had this problem?

Hi,
I have a problem installing the above mentioned chipset driver for win7. TVSU can't install it, and when I do it manually, it gives me a message saying (translated - original message was annoyingly in chinese) "This system does not meet the lowest requirements of the software. The installation will end now."
I tried downloading it from lenovo's website, but it didn't work either, giving me the same message. The version of this driver is 9.1.1.1016 (according to TVSU).
Anyone have any ideas on what on earth is wrong?
Thank you all!

Windows has failed to load

My laptop turns on to a black screen telling me it has failed to load due to a possible hardware or software change. What can I do to resolve this issue? Thanks

Hello @jessica321 ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand Windows fails to load on your notebook and shows a black screen indicating a recent hardware or software change could be the culprit.
If you haven't made any hardware changes I would suggest performing a system restore to before the issue started. This will remove any recent Windows updates, software updates, or software installs that could be the source of the issue.
If that fails I would suggest reseating the HDD and RAM. You can see how to do this for your notebook in the Maintenance and Service guide which can be found on your products support page here: HP - Drivers & Downloads.
If reseating the connections does not help check the BIOS for hardware failures by following this guide: Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 7, Vista) or Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 8). This will tell you if your HDD or RAM has failed which are the most common hardware failures.
Let me know if any of that helps!

It's strange, because I can install that package, and all the other custom ones without error if updates, security updates and hotfixes are not included. It must be one of those packages which is causing the install to fail. I tried to install updates manually
once I deployed the image but after the updates some of my custom applications didn't work well.
All of this just happening on the intel board, not the amd one.

On my Windows XP, I failed to install Adobe Reader XI because of Internet Explorer script error - how can I overcome this?

You can try using this tool to first remove all traces of Reader:

Then, you may download the full offline Reader installer for the version you want from

After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.
