Windows doesn't like my partition. Can't proceed with install.

Hi
I'm trying to install Windows Vista using boot camp. Using the assistant I've created a Windows partition on my second drive (in bay 2), and then followed the install instructions. After entering the product key and accepting the ToR, I'm then presented with a choice of partitions to install Windows, after formatting as per page 11 of the guide, I get the following error message:
"This computers hardware may not support booting to the disk. Ensure that the disk's controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu."
If I try again, I then get the following:
" Windows is unable to find a system volume that meets its criteria for installation".
I can't then proceed and have to quit. I've tried so many times I'm beginning to memorise the product key
What do I need to do to get over this?
Regards
Gazza

Thanks for your reply. Method #2 worked for me, but it did create a little problem in that the Vista HD is showing on my Mac Desktop labeled as "untitled", even though I know I named it Vista HD in both windows and OS X, oddly, the show/hide preferences in Finder only make it disappear if I uncheck the CD, DVD, iPod option NOT the Hard disk option.
Any ideas?

    I've seen one other post about this and I've tried the responses to it: trash prefs, rebuild permissions, reboot the computer (let it rest and uplug), trash quicktime receipts and reinstall, uninstall AJA software and reinstall.
    The only thing I haven't tried is reinstalling my OS.
    I'm on FCP HD.
    I can capture and print to tape as an uncontrollable device. But I need to edit to tape tomorrow using the RS-422 to my digibeta deck via the AJA IO. It has worked in the recent past (last month), but in the past two weeks I can't control my deck.
    Also, I get the message "This computer does not have any serial ports required by this protocol" when I try to set up a new RS-422 AV device control setting.
    Help!

    Jerry, I can't thank you enough. I still have a few hairs left on my head thanks to you.
    I downgraded my AJA firmware and that did the trick.
    I had been on the phone with AJA last week tryingto fix this problem and we had tried everything except that. You know, the trash quicktime receipts, trash prefs, hard re-boot, etc.
    They were stumped and finally decided it was a Mac problem not an AJA problem. Ha! (Very nice folks though.)
    Your's was an answer I didn't find anywhere else in all my searching of forums.
    Thanks again!

  • Open in new tab or window doesn't work. How can I fix this?

    I just upgraded to 36.01. When I right click on a link the menu of options is long and confusing. When I select open in a new tab or new window, it does nothing. What can I do to reduce the options list and how to fix the open new tab or window option?

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.

    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.

    If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.

  • Can't boot with install disk

    I ran out of disk space on the Mac HD and I only have 452 MB left. Before, I had 12 GB. I think trying to connect a router swallowed up the GB.
    Anyway, because I ran out of disk space, I had trouble starting the Mac HD.
    I can open Bootcamp (XP Professional) and have no problem there.
    I attached the dvd drive to the MacBook Air and put the Snow Leopard Install disc inside and tried
    1) Option start
    2) Pressing C key start
    3) Option command shift delete start but none of them work.
    I cannot get it to boot with the Snow Leopard install disc.
    What can I do?
    I was planning to do a clean install but can't boot with the Snow Leopard install disc.
    Can I do it from Bootcamp?

    I booted with the Snow Leopard Install disk and checked Disk Utility and found that the HD disk was corrupted. This time it showed only 77MB free space even though I freed up 2 GB using 'rm' commands in single-user mode.
    The problem was some kind of virus or something that not only ate up free space but corrupted the system.
    I had to do a clean install (erasing the Mac HD volume and formatting it) to get the Mac HD operational again.

  • HT201209 i dont have credit card how can i proceed with my apple id i got stuck at billing process

    i got stucked in the billing process because i dont have credit or debit card how can i continue with that

    You will need to create a new account, and follow the instructions on this page when creating it : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534 - without following them you will need to give credit card details (I don't think that debit cards are still accepted)

  • Acrobat 9.0 created in Windows, doesn't like Mac?

    Hi there, I've created a form for a client with radio button questions (answers in values 1-10) that appear on the last page and produce an overall score.  It works absolutely fine on mine and 4 other computers that are all Windows based, however he is Mac based and is unable to save the answers (though the form is rights enabled) on his form to his desktop to then email onwards, and the answers from the buttons & overall score function doesn't work at all.
    I'm at a loss how to fix this, or what I can recommend.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  It may have nothing to do with the Windows-Mac compatibility (technically it shouldn't right?) but it's the only thing I can think of that makes any sense!  Having said that I'm not a hugely experienced Acrobat user so there may just be a button I need to push somewhere!...

    It could also be that if he is using Reader, he may not have the MAC equivalent of MAPI running. E-mail submission is often a problem, but I know little about the issues with a MAC and that might be the issue.

  • Apple Keyboard in Windows doesn't like External HD

    I just bought a new Apple keyboard to use on my native Windows XP Pro machine at work. Note: this is not Windows in Boot Camp; it's a Dell PC.
    When I have the apple keyboard plugged in to the USB at the same time my external hard drive is connected, the HD will stop working, and Windows won't recognize it. As soon as I unplug the apple keyboard, the hard drive will be recognized by Windows and will load up normally.
    Each peripheral works fine when the other isn't plugged in, but as soon as they're both plugged in, they have a stand off.

    Its not normal, stannard, but it is certainly technically possible for this to occur. If the drive draws more current than it should for some reason (ie more than the regular FW specioication) then the port may not be able to provide sufficient. I have seen similar problems mentioned as an issue with bus powered USB devices on some PBs, for example, and it can be common in situations where more than one bus powered device is attached simultaneously on many computers.
    You are probably more likely to run into such an issue when running from battery rather than the mains I would think.
    Different computers have different abilities in this area, so the fact that the drive won't work on one computer but will on another is not altogether surprising, although it is uncommon, even if everything is working OK. Does the bus powered drive have a power connection option? Some do. It would be interesting to see if it worked when provided with an independent supply.
    Have you tried another cable, yet? Cables really can be the bane of your life when it comes to firewire.
    Some cable manufacturers actually sell cables that provide a visual indication of power and data availability - see http://www.granitedigital.com/catalog/pg18_firewirecables.htm for example. Worth considering, though I haven't tried them myself.
    The article at http://www.wiebetech.com/whitepapers/FireWirePortFailures.php is interesting, by the way. Some of the stuff in http://www.macintouch.com/panfirewire04.html is too.

  • Windows doesn't like my 1 page scrolling site containing some flash.Please

    Please would anyone with a PC be kind enough to try my one page scrolling site that I am testing:
    http://angelakane.co.uk/scroll3.html
    I am quite keen on the idea of a big one page site that you scroll vertically and horizontally.  I am testing some flash content (3 pages down, 1 & 2 across) which works perfectly well in Safari, Firefox, Opera  but I recently tried it in Explorer after loading Parallels on my mac and it does strange things on the row with the flash.
    Most people I know have macs so I don't know whether the problem is with my set up or whether PCs in general will not cope.
    Anybody any idea why?  I will take out all the flash if it means PCs are going to have problems.
    Thanks.

    Well..I went to your site again today and to be yet honest yet again it is SLOW! I have one off the fastest connections to date (for my line of work) and I lost my patience waiting. With today's standards on speed it was slow. I will also hate to tell you that your idea of such a large one page site is not new. This is why the web is what it is today. Studies have shown that users lose their patience with scrolling which is why you are seeing more and more sites even trying to avoid vertical scrolling. If you look around the web you will also notice that content such as text are also getting narrower within pages...meaning that the users eye does not like to travel long distances west to east while reading text. Shorter lines and longer columns of text are much easier to read...much like a newspaper.
    Those are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to usability and functionality issues with large one page layouts. I have not even mentioned the issues with mobile devices that it would have (which is the true future for us all web designers).
    As far as the new Apple Mouse. Mice have been able horizontal scroll for years so that is nothing new...that is just another case where Apples marketing has made it sound like a fantastic refreshing idea. Just because something can do something does not mean it is good. I have a horizontal scrolling mouse and never use it.
    I don't mean to crash your party. The site does look good and I also tested it in IE8 an 7 and seems the flash is ok so I'm not sure of the issue your are having. I think the site would be a much better place in pages.
    Good luck

  • Installed Windows 7 64 bit in Error - Can I replace with 32 bit Version?

    Hello, last night I installed Windows 7 via bootcamp on my 20" iMac. All went well until I tried to install the Boot Camp support software and had a message saying that Boot Camp 64 bit is not supported on this machine. I did think for a while that I was stuck in my new Windows partition without a way of getting back to OSX as I hadn't been able to install the Boot Camp software but luckily this morning when holding the relevant key on the keyboard during start up I had the option of selecting my mac HD (phew!).
    My question is what is the best workaround for this? Can I boot in to the Windows partition and install the 32 bit version over the 64 bit version or should I delete my new partition and start again from scratch? The 64 bit version didn't seem completely stable (there was no sound and the screen resolution didn't seem quite right) but I did have a multitude of updates waiting to install. Thanks for any help.

    Boot from 32-bit version and do a clean install.
    You can even begin while in Windows.
    But before you do that, copy the contents of your OS X DVD's Boot Camp to a folder.
    Find the file BOOTCAMP64.msi
    Run as administrator and use "troubleshoot compatibility mode" via control + click.
    Then that should run.
    At least give it a try. I was/am in same boat (unsupported, does not support 64-bit version) like MANY others. And it does work. Otherwise I would be stuck with only using 1.9GB RAM and other limitations.

  • I can scroll down web pages with my Lenovo ThinkPad X200. I could, but then I got some updates and it doesn't work. I can scroll fine with an external mouse. I just can't use the "scroll controls" on my laptop. Any ideas why? It's frustrating!

    When I got my machine two years ago and loaded Firefox, I could scroll with the red button that's on the keyboard of the Lenovo ThinkPad x200. Then, a few months ago, Firefox was updated. Not sure which version. And, now I can't scroll. The keypad scroll works in MS Windows programs. It just doesn't work in Firefox. I can't get anywhere with the options so I'm stuck for now. (The scrolling works in Internet Explorer). So, I think it's something that going on with FireFox not with my computer.

    In general, you are correct - but also your server does need to be properly configured (and those errors above lead me to think it may not be) to serve the file types that your uploading - but it could be something else entirely. Can you zip up your composition folder, upload it to your Creative Cloud files, set it to share, and then post a link here so I can download it? If you'd rather not share it publicly, can you PM me with a link to your composition files?
