Windows could not update the computer's boot configuration Server 2012

I'm trying to install Windows Server 2012 on another partition (V:) that I create directly from Disk Management. After I create it, I do a simple format of the partition.
Next, I try to Install Windows Server 2012, directly on the recent partition, after the setup is completed, Windows Server 2012 boots to the Getting the devices
ready section, but stops and throws me this error.
Windows could not update the computer's boot configuration
After that the computer, restarts and it goes on and on unable to create a multi-boot environment. What's killing me is that I have done this on the past like 10 times and never run to this problem.
I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium on an ASUS K45 64 bit.

Hi,
You can try adding a new boot entry by using bcdedit tool:

  • Windows could not update the computer's boot configuration. via UEFI installation

    I recently performed a clean WIndows 8.1 installation using my new Hard drive. However, under UEFI mode from BIOS, everytime the setup process reaches the "Installing Updates" stage, I kept on receiving an error "Windows could not update the
    computer's boot configuration, Installation cancelled. 
    I was a bit puzzled as everytime I install Windows 8.1 via LEGACY mode from BIOS, setup finishes! I cannot tell whether I need to mod my BIOS or what. 
    please help.

    Hi,
    Please make sure that Delete all partitions/volumes on the disk # (ex: Disk 0) that you want to install Windows 8.1 as UEFI on until that disk # shows as unallocated space.
    Try again to install Windows 8.1 again.
    If it still fails, please post back the setuperr.log and setupact.log under C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther\ for our research. You can copy them out in WinPE command mode.
    Also, I would like to check if you use bootcamp to install Windows 8.1 on Mac computer. If so, check the solution here:

    Hi,
    Please make sure you have format the system drive and perform a clean install, not just override or upgrade from the previous system.
    The bootloaders for Windows Vista and Windows 7 are quite similar,  you could have a look at this article and see if it's helpful to you:

    I've searched the internet, I've tried solutions on some of the discussions on here:

    (Can't try this one because I don't have physical media or a burner and don't want to upgrade to 8.1)
    Tried maskedferret's and jarvil's instructions that might work for others but not for me. Also the process must be older version of disk utility. There is no "minus" to remove a partition in the one I have.
    Half the problem is those threads are so long with people posting up their problems that are not even the same problem. So then you have to sift through all these responses that aren't even really releated.
    If you're problem isn't this problem then please don't use this thread to solve another issue.
    “Windows could not prepare the computer to boot into the next phase of the installation. To install Windows, restart the installation.”
    I can't find in the release notes of any beta Maverick update that this is being addressed.
    1) Does anyone know if there is a fix coming out for this?
    2) Is there some solution that doesn't require to have physical media?
         a) I have Windows 8.1 iso and product key
         b) I have a 32gb USB stick that I had Bootcamp format
         c) I have a spare 16gb USB stick.  Both are USB 2.0 so I can't do Windows To Go. Maybe I should get one.
    3) I have no idea how tell which MacBookPro I have since no one at Apple seems to believe in model numbers. I just ordered it online two weeks ago and received it this week so I guess it's the "latest" model hardware wise.  Running 10.9
    The cloest possible solution I came across was to boot up Windows 8 OS on a USB stick (Not the install) and run diskpert or fdisk for mbr thought I can' try this out because I don't have Windows To Go.  I'd rather have it worked problem from Apple if I can figure out when they plan to update I might be willing to wait.

    Finally got a physical CD and to the third link option still same issue. Even worse actually as even after formating the partition I get a "Windows cannot be installed on this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style"
    Found my "-" minus remove parition in Disk Utility. Will attempt maskedferret's again

  • Windows could not prepare the computer to boot into the next phase of the installation. Windows 8.1

    Hi! I have a Lenovo G500 notebook with a new HDD. I try to do a clean install but i always get an error message" windows could not prepare the computet the boot into the next phase. Restart the insralattion."  i talked with my country's windows
    help line and the operator said i have to change something in the BIOS. Can somebody help me?

    Hi,
    You can enter BIOS, then change the Boot sequence for CD/DVD, HDD or USB. Make sure that the disk speck is enough for storing the installation files. Make sure the installation media is fine.
    Probably cause of this error is that the associated disk partition is corrupted. In this situation, you need to delete the partition and then repartition the hard drive, after that, try to install Windows again, check if error has gone.

  • Windows could not start the distributed transaction coordinator service on local computer

    Dear All,
    I'm having an issue starting the DTC service in windows 7 OS. I always got the error message below when im trying to start it.
    "Windows could not start the distributed transaction coordinator service on local computer"
    Thanks,
    Melvin

    Hi Melvin,
    Please try the following methods to solve this issue:
    Method 1: Re-create the MS DTC log, and then restart the service.
    Click
    Start, type cmd in the search box, and then press
    Enter.
    Type the command
    msdtc -resetlog at the command prompt, and then press
    Enter.
    Warning: The msdtc -resetlog command can cause data corruption if it is used incorrectly. Make sure that you do not have any pending transactions when you run this
    command.
    Type the command net start msdtc, and then press
    Enter.
    Method 2: Set the logon account permissions for the MS DTC service
    If Method 1 does not resolve the problem, set the logon account for the MS DTC service to have read and write permissions for the Msdtc.log file. Please follow the steps below:
    Click
    Start, type cmd in the search box, and then press
    Enter.
    Type the command
    control admintools at the command prompt, and then press
    Enter.
    Double-click
    Services.
    In the Services pane, locate
    Distributed Transaction Coordinator.
    In the
    Log On As column, note the account name.  Note: The default logon account for the MS DTC service is the NETWORK SERVICE account.
    Start Windows Explorer, and
    then open the %windir%\System32\Msdtc folder.
    Right-click the
    Msdtc.log file, and then click Properties.
    Click the
    Security tab.
    Click the logon account name that you noted
    in step 5. For example, click the NETWORK SERVICE account name.
    In the
    Permissions pane, click to select the Allow check box for the following permissions: ◦Read & Execute  
    ◦Read    ◦Write
    Click
    OK.
    Click
    Yes to accept the security warning.
    In the
    Services pane, right-click Distributed Transaction Coordinator, and then click
    Start.
    Method 3: Assign permissions to the NETWORK service to traverse the directory tree
    Determine whether the NETWORK service has permissions to traverse through the folder. To do this, follow these steps.
    Note: By default, the "Everyone" group has these permissions. For more information, go to the following Microsoft TechNet website:
    Bypass traverse checking
    Click
    Start, type secpol.msc in the search box, and then press
    Enter.     
    Browse through the following computer configuration: 
            \Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment 
    Check for "Bypass traverse checking," and then add the "Everyone" group. 
    Update the Group Policy settings on the computer. To do this, click
    Start, type gpupdate in the search box, and then press
    Enter.
    In the
    Services pane, right-click Distributed Transaction Coordinator, and then click
    Start.

  • Windows could not start the Windows Audio service on Local Computer.

    "Windows could not start the Windows  Audio service on Local Computer.

    Hi,
    Have your gotten any updates installed?
    Regarding to current information, this issue can be caused by corrupted updated files or drivers.
    Please check if there is any update related to audio driver. Can this issue be fixed if you remove such update?
    I also suggest you can try to reinstall Audio driver to check the results.

  • "Windows could not start the offline files service on local computer. Error 3: The system cannot find the path specified"

    Using Windows 8.1 Pro on Toshiba Satellite i7 Laptop with 8Gb Ram
    After upgrade from Windows 8 Pro to 8.1 Pro, the Offline Files/CSC service refuses to start and gives the error message:
    "Windows could not start the offline files service on local computer. Error 3: The system cannot find the path specified"
    Before the upgrade, offline files worked fine... how do I re-enable offline files?

      I had a similar issue -  couldn't make any files available offline.
    I found that the offline folder service would not start
    This was because the CSC permission were totally screwed.  I had to take ownership of each folder and file, one by one, then grant everyone full access.
    then delete the full contents of the CSC folder
    format the CSC database using the registry fix then reboot
    in control panel, disable the offline files,  reboot, then re-enable.  and now its working :)
    2hrs to resolve this, with grateful thanks to this thread and some others.

  • Windows could not start the DHCP Client service on Local Computer, Error 2

    Hi everyone,
    I assign IP addresses via my router but today installed OpenVPN and it depends on the DHCP Client service. I checked in services and found it wasn't running. If I try starting it I get this message "Windows could not start the DHCP Client
    service on Local Computer." "Error 2: The system cannot find the file specified.".
    There's plenty of info out there about this issue but nothing seems to fix it for me. I've tried the following as an administrator,
    "sfc /scannow" - It reported and error which it fixed but after a restart the problem persists.
    "NET  LOCALGROUP   administrators  "NT Authority\Local Service"   /add"
    "netsh winsock reset catalog"
    I also checked that all dependencies of the DHCP Client service are working. I used "CMD /K
    SC QC DHCP" to check the dependencies and compared them to an identical computer and they are. Hope someone can help. Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Did you mean after the restart the sfc /scannow command still could find the corrupted files?
    Have you check this these related registry entries permission for your account?
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dhcp
    permission needed: Query value, Create value, Enumerate Subkeys, Notify, Read Control

  • When I open Itunes it says,Windows could not start the bonjour service on local computer.

    Just recently, I had a problem with the AVFoundation  thing on my computer. Well I got that fixed, but now it has a message coming up that says " Windows could not start the Bonjour Service service on local computer. Error 3: The system could not find the path specified.
                                               Please tell me how to fix it.

    Windows could not start the Bonjour Service service on local computer. Error 3: The system could not find the path specified.
    That's an unfamiliar one, steve.
    Let's see what happens if we try to start the service manually.
    In your Start menu, right-click Computer and select "Manage".
    Expand "Services & Applications"
    Open "Services". (Perhaps maximise the Window to better see what's going on.)
    Select the Bonjour Service and click "Start".
    Do you get an error message then? If so, what does that one say?
