Windows 8 Installation DVD not recognized by TouchSmart 600

I am trying to install Windows 8 on my TouchSmart 600-1305t PC (Product #: XL730AV#ABA ).
The problem is that my computer does not recognize the Windows 8 installation DVD I purchased. Is there a solution to this problem? I would ideally like to dual boot the operating systems at startup. Thank you for your help.

  • Windows installation failed and Windows Installation DVD can not be ejected

    Hi,
    I have tried to install windows, the installation was executed till the copy of the windows files. Then the Computer restart and ask to install Windows again (blue screen). As I can not eject the Windows DVD the system goes to the same loop again and again.
    Starting the Mac with pressed left mouse button in order to eject the DVD does not work. Any idea how to eject the windows installation DVD ? It seems that does not work.
    Thanks a lot
    Tanja

    ok, I understand that I had to press the option key by restarting the computer. Now it works.

  • Windows 8.1 not recognizing Webcams

    Has this problem of Windows 8.1 not recognizing webcams been fixed yet?
    I updated to 8.1 and my webcam was not recognised (Microsoft Lifecam Cinema) I thought my cam may be faulty so bought a new com (Logitech C270) same problem.
    So finally I reinstalled Windows 8 at the cost of losing every thing on my hard drive. I want update as I liked most of 8.1 but will not until I can use my webcams.
    I went through all the rigmarole of reinstaling drivers etc. So please dont give be the stock answer of installation as its already been done.
    All I need to know is if Microsoft has fixed this problem or not.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    With so many brands of webcams and cameras available, there are many reasons why something might not work. Each brand is different, so it's a good idea to check the manufacture's website for user guides and troubleshooting help.
    I checked Windows Compatibility Center, found Logitech C270 Webcam is compatible with Windows 8.1. However, some people still had problem with Windows 8.1.
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/compatibility/CompatCenter/ProductDetailsViewer?Name=Logitech%20C270%20Webcam&vendor=Logitech&Locale=1033%2C2057%2C3081%2C4105%2C16393&ModelOrVersion=V-U0018&BreadCrumbPath=Logitech%20C270&LastSearchTerm=Logitech%2BC270&Type=Hardware&tempOsid=Windows%208.1
    If you have any problem with Webcam in Windows 8.1. You can provide as more as details about your problem, then we can work together to resolve this problem.

    Hi Abdallah,
    According to your description, could you please post the summary and detail logs for further analysis? By default, the logs can be found in: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\Log.
    Usually, the error occurs when the Windows Installer Service is not running or the Windows Installer registry settings are corrupted.  I recommend you reset the Windows Installer Service settings in the registry and restart the Windows Installer Service,
    then reinstall SQL Server 2008 R2. For more details, please review this similar

  • Itunes will not install..windows INSTALLER service not available.windows 7

    I am trying to find a fix for this...just bought a new computer with windows 7, all updates have been performed. Itunes will not install...it just stops and says "windows installer service not available" Can't find a stand alone downloadable version of installer 5.0 which is what comes with 7 from the research I have done. I have the newest version of itunes saved on desktop, tried running it from desktop, tried running as admin, tried several other ideas that I found on here and Microsoft..but nothing is working. Any advice?

    Same error message "This version is for a 32 bit computer, yours is a 64 bit!"
    Doublechecking ... by any chance did you migrate a 32-bit version of the iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Support and Bonjour programs to the 64-bit machine from a 32-bit machine using the PC Mover utility?
    (Your symptoms are consistent with that ... the installer service throws the message when trying to uninstall the 32-bit itunes and related 32-bit componentry prior to installing the new 64-bit versions.)

    i keep getting this message that says "the windows installer could not be accessed. this can occur if you are running windows in safe mode or if the windows installer is not correctly installed. contact your support personnel for assistence."
    Is that a 64-bit system? If so, although you're getting this on Windows 7 rather than Vista, the following document might be worth a try:

  • The Windows Installer does not permit installation from a RDP connection.

    Hello!
    Today when was installing Exchange 2013SP1 onto one of my virtual machines I got the following error:
    This error has suprised me in a lot of ways: 1) it was my 10th, or 20th or ... installation of Exchange on to the same test VM and this error has never arised before, 2) it's rather tardy error as Step1 and Step2 completed successfully in spite of

    It looks like the installation files are being shared over a terminal services connection (based on what you are saying, I'm guessing you're using Hyper-v and it's using TS to present the files).  I always run into mixed results when I run installs from
    a path not local to the server.  Can you copy the install paths locally and rerun setup?

  • Trying to upgrade an itunes download and getting error message "windows installer did not finish as expected.  contact person or vendor"

    trying to upgrade my ITunes for my Iphone and cannot access content.   During upgrade getting message "windows installer did not finish as expected..contact vendor"

    Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
    Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
    If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

    I have used PCs for years, and still do at work.  But, last year my wife bought me a 15" MBP with the anti-glare screen (I was getting ready to buy for myself).  It took me all of 1 week to completely get used to the UI for OS-X, and now I really prefer it over the Win7 UI.  I have no experience with Win8.  Here are my thoughts:
    1) You can get a good computer using either a Win8 machine or a Mac.
    2) You will pay less for an equivalent PC.  But not as much less as some would have you believe.  You need to take into account the all aluminum body of the Mac (vs most PCs being plastic) and the size of the display.  And, don't forget that there is a lot of bundled SW on the Mac that you will actually find useful and would have to purchase for the PC.
    3) You can probably do everything you need on the PC platform with the right SW (you probably already know this since you are using one already).
    That said, I think some things are easier on the Mac.  For example, GarageBand is a standard part of the Mac SW installation.  I got up and running recording directly from my bass into a track with a song imported from iTunes on another track in a snap.  I only had to purchase a Jam adapter ($99) for the bass so I could come in over USB instead of using the audio in port (which did work, by the way).  You can do the same on a PC, but you have to purchase the SW from somewhere.  And, it probably isn't cheap.
    I use VMware Fusion to run those Win programs I already owned because it was much less expensive to buy Fusion than to replace them.
    I would not return to a PC for my own use, given a choice.  But, I would be very careful about getting my wife a Mac without careful thought as she is not as tolerant of learning new things as I am.
    So, there you go.
