Windows 8 - Windows could not cmplete the installation. To install Windows on this computer, restart the installation

Having SCCM 2012 SP1 CU3 I attempted to do a pretty simple task.
Create a capture media for Windows 8 64 Bit and capture the OS.
The system in question is a Dell Latitude 6430u and OEM Windows 8.
The system ran as expected, the capture went as expected, but when I deploy the image (Back to the same laptop mind you)
The following occurs:
Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows on this computer, restart the installation.
Things that I've tried:
Set the SATA to various modes as it was on RAID on as speculated in some posts
Saw a posting that suggests pressing SHIFT F-10 to get in to some prompt and run oobe; doesn't work here, I think.
Added Dell Driver Packs for the system
As for log files, I'll check C:\Windows\Panther and see what's there.
Any ideas on how to correct this? Is there a way to go in to the image itself to do so?

Sorry, I'm not using CM2007, but CM 2012 SP1, CU3.
I went through the smsts log and found several instances where drivers were missing so I'm guessing that's why it pitched a wobbly about not being a suitable system for the Windows setup.

Which doesn't make sense since the image that I am trying to put on the system is the one I took it from. Before putting the image out I went to Dell's web site and got the Windows 8 drivers for the system and distributed them as I usually do.
I got the drivers from here -
http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/enterprise-client/w/wiki/4372.latitude-6430u-windows-8-driver-cab.aspx
What I don't get is that I can take the Windows 8 install.wim and do an OSD task with it and there is no issue with drivers.
One other thing here is the log from the windows\panther folder:

I have installed Windows 7 into my Macbook Pro 15 inch with Lions as operating system. (current model with 2.2 GHz i7 processor, 500 GB HD ad 5400 rpm). When I started with boot camp, the system promped me to create a disc, which I presume is for the drivers for windows 7. Now windows is intalled. What do I do with the CD that the system created for me? Also, why does the system automatically start in Win7 instead of Lion. I need to pression the option key to have it start in OS X. I thought it was supposed to be the opposite.

Insert it while you are in Windows, if it does not autostart run setup.exe.
Choose your startup disk using Apple>System Preferences>Startup Disk (in OSX) or Control Panel>Boot Camp>Startup Disk (in Windows)

I installed the CC trial with an error window saying: Could not create the file '/Users/dranim/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/13.2/dummy'. That was the first window. Heres the second: After Effects can’t continue: unexpected failure during application startup I paid for the month subscription of 29.99. It claims it is downloading again?! Am I missing something here? Why is this process so complicated? I need to get this resolved asap and start working.

I originally had Adobe Photoshop Extended, then upgraded to the Production Suite. I ran the Adobe Cleaner, and that uninstalled most Adobe products, including my existing Adobe install, and then I re-installed everything with the same error code. Since CS4 came with CS5, I've installed AE CS4, but would really like to upgrade because I'm new to Creative Suite, and not sure how CS4 integrates with CS5...CS4 After Effects installed perfectly. I do have a 64 bit system, and installing to an OCZ Vertex 2....every other suite installs perfectly, except AE. And I think that is the coolest program in the Suite. I thank you all so much for taking the time to help, I really want to get AECS5 running...I did try to install after doing the recommended items Adobe suggests for Exit Codes 6 and 7, including turning off many startups...
I'm baffled....

Windows setup could not process the Catalog setting

Hi, I'm trying to deploy an image of Windows 8 Embedded using WDS (Windows Server 2012) and I find this message in client machine. It appears while boot image is loading...
I'm using an *.xml file to make an unattended installation, that I select from Client tab on my WDS server.

Windows XP could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt - message

Hi there and apologies in advance if this is a daft or very frequently asked question.
Upon trying to boot up this Toshiba mini NB200 device last night we got this message:
Windows XP could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM. it then asked me to press r at the forst screen to start a repair if I have the original set up cd.
The device had to be forced to shutdown previously as it hung when shutting down.
Now multiple reboots (including uncoupling/recoupling the battery) and resetting the settings from start up menu result in the same error message.
The device has no cd drive installed but previously Jerry Lippey (in 2011) saved the day by recommending purchase of a product recovery disc (R10804EN) after a 'flashing cursor issue' at logon.
Has anyone far more clever than I any thoughts (if we're able to borrow a portable cd drive) whether this disc may work again?
Windows XP was/is preinstalled on the PC (we havent the disc) and we've subsequently added MS Works. A total wipe of the device (as long as XP remains?) wont be too much hassle as we havent any data that we're too bothered about on it.
Many, many thanks in advance
Solved!

Toshiba NB200-11L
Windows XP could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM
Bad news. It means the System hive, which is the most important branch of the registry, is corrupt. Unless you have made provisions for this (we always do on XP systems), the fix is too complex for you to handle (KB307545).
I'm afraid you'll need to restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media as you did before. Do you have important files to rescue?

Just downloaded Yosemite on my Mac and the Yosemite update for Garage Band. Now when I open an existing Garage Band project and click on a vocal track, a message window says, "Could not find General Audio 10" and have no smart controls. Help?

Just downloaded Yosemite on my Mac and the Yosemite update for Garage Band. Now when I open an existing Garage Band project and click on a vocal track, a message window says, "Could not find General Audio 10" and have no smart controls for that track (reverb, etc.) Help?

Try this fix posted by Robinson Collins:
Re: I downloaded Garage Band 2x and the same note appears: there is no General Audio 10. Please advise. Thank you.
Try this: Go to your menu bar, select "Garageband" and then "Restore Sound Library..."
It can take awhile to download as it's a pretty big library. You might need to also select "Update Sound Library..." after the restore is done.

Windows Mail could not be started. Make sure that your disk is not full or that you are not out of memory (0x800C0155).

I have Vista SP2. Every time I open Firefox (3.6.13), I get three consecutive error messages:
1) Windows Mail could not be started. The application was unable to open the Windows Mail message store. Your Windows Mail mailbox data is currently being used by another program, such as a virus scanner. Close the program or wait for it to complete its operation, then open Windows Mail again (0x800C0155).
2) Windows Mail could not be started. Make sure that your disk is not full or that you are not out of memory (0x800C0155).
3) Windows Mail could not be started because MSOE.DLL could not be initialized.
This series of messages continue to recur during my Firefox session and eventually will freeze up my session.
I use Gmail. I do not use Windows Mail or Outlook Express and deleted Windows Live Mail. There is a a file named msoe.dll using the path C: /Program Files/Windows Mail. I also found C:/Program Files/Windows Live/RemoteActiveX even though I thought I deleted all Windows Live programs.
I have set Firefox as the default browser. Also, in Firefox, if I click on "File=>Send Link", it triggers the series of three error messages above.
I don't understand why Gmail would reference Winmail. Any ideas how I can fix this? Can I or should I delete the Windows Mail and Windows Live folders?

I have had many problems with permissions on Windows Vista, 7,8 & 81.1. It is usually after an update or installation, especially one that requires a reboot to finish (some AVG, Windows Live, Windows Updates, etc). Once File(s), Folder(s)
and Registry Key(s) permissions are screwed up, it can take days to work them out if ever.
After having spent several hours on a clients PC and online forums with this problem. I transferred her user profile with a free program called
Transwiz (run as Administrator) to a zip file on the HDD. I renamed her user in manage User Accounts to "Username old". I then ran Transwiz again to restore the profile but telling it to create a new user using the original Username.
After it completed restoring the profile, I logged out of "Username old" and logged in to Username and all wass well, I only needed to supply the email password which is not transferred. When you move profile data, all the old permissions
have to be removed and <st1:personname w:st="on">new</st1:personname> permissions added so the data and files belong to the <st1:personname w:st="on">new</st1:personname> user. This cleared up all the permission
problems.

Could not load assembly or file "crystaldecisions.windows.forms"

Hi,
I have a VS2005 C# .net application which works fine when I run on the programming machine.
Now , I copy all files (dll , pdb , exe) from the Project's "..bin\Debug " directory .
These files I transfer to another computer which does not have VS 2005 .NET installed (or any separate crystal reports program), but it does have .netframework 1 and 2, so that I can test the application on that "test" computer.
When I double click the .exe , I log in and then I click a menu item which shows a form which has a crystalreport viewer in it.Here , an unhandled excepion error is shown like this...
Could not load assembly or file "crystaldecisions.windows.forms" version 10.2.3600.0
Note please: I have not created an installer(.msi) package for our application yet.
The application does not refer to any crystal reports dlls in it's directory
Thanks -

Hello Dimitar,
If Crystal Reports is not properly integrated into your VS IDE you'll usually see that kind of message.
You have to make sure that Crystal Reports is properly integrated into Visual Studios. Do you have a full version of Crystal Reports installed on your Visual Studios .NET 2005 development machine? If so, what is the version of Crystal Reports? Open Crystal Reports, go to the Help menu, and then About Crystal Reports. What is the version number and name (listed near the top)?
Now open Visual Studios and go to Help > About VS. In the list of Installed Products what does it say for Crystal (usually near the bottom of the list). Please DO NOT include your keycode - just what it says for Crystal.
Sincerely,
Dan Kelleher

Windows setup could not configure windows to run on this computer hardware

As I was trying to reinstall win 7 on my HP Pavilion dv6-7028tx Enterta laptop, upon competition, I was given this message by win7 saying that " windows setup could not configure windows on this computer's hardwear".
I did some research on this issue, it appeared to be the lack of SATA drivers on my computer.　
Could you please advise me which intel SATA driver should I installed to fix the problem?
If this method doesn’t work, then can you please tell me how to change the BIOS hard disk drive setting to AHCI or IDE?
Many thanks
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi:
You can't change the drive controller setting in the BIOS on any HP consumer notebook made in the last 5 - 6 years or so.
See if this works...
Download the drivers from this link below (first file listed -- 64 bit).
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProdId=2101&DwnldID=23060&keyword=Intel+Rap...
Extract (copy) the files onto a usb flash drive without any folders.
With the flash drive and W7 installation media in the machine, boot from the W7 installation media.
After you select the install now option, select the Drive Options - Advanced menu, then select the Load Driver option.
You should now see the storage driver files listed.
If you check the box, it will only include the compatible driver.
Follow the prompts and hopefully, W7 will install.

"Could not complete scan" error when using Windows Fax and Scan

"Could not complete scan" error when using Windows Fax and Scan with a HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus All-In-One network printer.
Printing is fine.
When using the HP Scan application, get the error "Scanner communication cannot be established".
When scanning from the printer itself it fails with the same message. In addition the printer panel displays the error:
"The scan could not be completed due to one or more of the following issues:
Connection to the computer is lost
The scanner is in use
OCR application is not installed"
My PC is a HP Compaq Pro 6300 SFF 64bit, with ethernet cable to the router and ethernet cable to the printer
Originally ran Windows 8.0; recently upgraded to Windows 8.1.
Older separate Netgear router and modem was replaced with a newer Netgear Router/Modem, but both experienced the same problem.
There was no problem with the original Windows 8.0 configuration and only after upgrading to 8.1 did the problem emerge.
On my home netowrk I have an HP ProBook 6550b running Windows 7 sp1 that uses wireless to get to the Router, and it has no problem with scanning.
I have followed the recommendations of a number of articles relating to this issue (including: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c02915410&product=4323659#N94), but there has been no change in behaviour.
The printer has a static IP address;
Power settings have been adjusted to Never for Turn off Hard Disk; Sleep and Hybrid Sleep.
Scanning has been tested with all firewalls and antivirus turned off and in Selective Startup.
The printer has been plugged directly into the power socket.
With all these settings the Windows 8.1 cannot scan while the Windows 7 laptop with wireless to the router has no problems.
Appreciate any insights into this problem.
I can only surmise that the problem is a compatibility problem between the 8600 Printer and Windows 8.1.
Any ideas?
regards,
Motorbike

You can determine if there is compatiblity between the printer and PC by checking the Windows 8.1 hardware compatibility list. I have done that and it is shown to be fully compatible. If the driver you installed before was only the basic driver,it would explain the lack of scan and copy functionality.
Download and install the Windows 8.1 full feature driver and software on the HP Compaq Pro 6300 SFF 64bit PC .

For "Could not open key/write value" errors when reinstalling try b noir's user tip:
"Could not open key: UNKNOWN\Components\[LongStringOfLettersAndNumbers]\
[LongStringOfLettersAndNumbers]" error messages when installing iTunes for Windows.
The technique can be applied to the branch of the registry mentioned in the error message.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Windows setup could not configure Windows to run on this computer's hardware.

Just over a month ago, I purchased 6 identical Lenovo B5400 laptop computers for a small charity. Each is preconfigured with Windows 7 Professional, with a Win 7 recovery partition, and is supplied with a set of Windows 8 Pro recovery media (the charity
requires Windows 7 installed). I unpacked three laptops, configuring the first one as required by the charity, and using the second and third to experiment with the sysprep / imagex process before applying it to the configured system for migration to the other
laptops. After securing the second and third laptops by taking image backups, I applied sufficient configuration to the second to test the process, then sysprep'd it, and imagex'd it to a network drive, and to a USB stick. So far so good. After using imagex
to apply the custom .wim file to the third laptop, I found it booted up through the "updating registry settings", "starting services", and "installing devices" phases, but when it got to "applying system settings", it
displayed a messagebox titled "Install Windows", with the message "Windows Setup could not configure Windows to run on this computer's hardware". In the last few days, I have explored all the other incidences of problems with similar
symptoms found by a google search, including those on this forum, and tried numerous experiments without getting any further (in most cases not even getting as far)". The sysprep'd image on the second laptop boots ok, going through the same phases up
to "applying system settings", then reboots normally, requests username and PC name, etc, the only defect being that it loses the Realtek display driver (which only takes 2 minutes to restore). I have tried imagex /apply to put the custom .wim file
back on the same laptop it was taken off (the second laptop), and it works exactly the same as it did for the same system immediately after sysprep'ing. The only difference between laptops 2 and 3 is a serial number (QB07523967, and QB07524012). Is there any
reason that this should not work? If it will not, I'm faced with about 100 hours to configure the 6 laptops individually to the charity's requirement.

Hi,
This issue can be caused by hard disk settings in bios or DVD drive or bad SATA cable. Please try those steps below:
Upgrade the BIOS to the latest version; go into the BIOS and activate "Load Fail-Safe Defaults".
If you connect the SATA drives, please set the SATA controller to compatible mode in BIOS.

WDS "windows setup could not configure Windows on this computer's hardware"

I use WDS on a 2008 R2 server to deploy Windows 7 Enterprise with SP1 64-bit custom images to a variety of devices within our enterprise. This has worked flawlessly for two years. I have three desktop models and three laptop models (all HP) that share
a common .wim image. I PXE boot a desktop and choose the image file to deploy. It deploys like magic - until this past week. HP sent us a replacement drive for warranty repair on one computer and on that one PC I started seeing the "Windows setup
could not configure Windows on this computer's hardware" message after deploying Windows 7. The image deploys just fine, the computer reboots just fine, services are set up, all devices are detected. As soon as "Setup is installing devices" hits
100% and the "Setup is applying system settings" phase begins, that message appears. After researching the error and pulling the logs that Microsoft's KB 2466753 describes, it seemed that my problem was related to an "Advanced Format"
disk in that new computer. What I don't get is that they state that this problem was resolved in SP1 (which is what I'm deploying!). So, I started downloading storage drivers to my boot image thinking that maybe a newer driver would fix things. Eventually
(many drivers later), I got the new hard drive to successfully take my Windows 7 image. Here's where it all went to pieces. No sooner had I corrected the problem on that ONE machine, that none of my other machines would successfully re-image. After
2 years of flawless operation, now all my computer models exhibit this same error (except the one with the new replacement drive). After recreating my boot image in WDS (being sure to pull it from a Win 7 SP1 DVD) and adding every driver in WDS practically,
I've gotten all but one particular model to successfully image. No matter what drivers I add (keep in mind, that no drivers have been removed
from WDS during any of this process), the HP z210 desktops I use will not accept the image. Microsoft suggests flipping BIOS settings but why the heck would I want to do that on every machine when their BIOS settings have never been a problem
before this? They also say I should only need to download special Intel drivers if my disks are set up with RAID - which they are not. Anyway, as a test, I inserted a standard Windows 7 Enterprise with SP1 64-bit DVD (same one I used to extract my boot.wim)
and installed Windows on that model with no trouble at all. I only get this error when deploying through WDS. I'm at my wits end and would appreciate any and all help at this point. Thank you!

Hi,
Based on my understanding, the current situation is all other computers deployment is fine but z210 desktops.
If so, it seems like you have the incorrect driver in WDS for that particular computer z210 desktops you used.
I suggest install it from WDS without driver for test.
In addition, you can post this issue in
Setup Deployment to check the WDS setting issue.
