Windows Install Help on custom built PC

Yesterday I had posted some problems about not being able to get past the initial screen and entering the BIOS settings after building a PC. I have successfully moved past that point and am now trying to install windows.
I have read posts and done the following:
Turned on PC with blank disc in the floppy drive. When the pc asked for me to enter a System Disc, I put Windows XP Pro into the dvd/cd drive, removed the floppy and hit ctrl-alt-del.
I get the following message
Boot from CD:
Disk boot failure. Insert system disk and press enter.
Is there a step I am missing?
After the initial boot, I went into BIOS settings, made sure harddrive was set up properly, turned off the "other boot devices" in advanced because I was getting a Nvidia boot agent message and then tried to install windows as per the above.

Actually, it's better to put the HD as first boot, and CD as second. That way, it won't find anything on the HD (assuming it's new or has no MBR) and will boot off the cd. Once that's done and the comp resets it'll boot into windows without you having to press f11 or going into the bios to change the priorities again.

Installing Leopard on Custom built p.c.

I have got a custom built intel pc currently running windows vista 64 bit will i be able to installed leopard with no problems and use that instead? as i love the mac platform but cant afford a true mac myself

It is theoretically possible, but it takes a LOT of time to get working correctly, and is against the Leopard license agreement, so apple won't support you, and can even try to break your machine.
The relevant section of the SLA-I have bolded the specific phrase:
2. Permitted License Uses and Restrictions.
A. Single Use. This License allows you to install, use and run one (1) copy of the Apple Software on a single Apple-labeled computer at a time. You agree not to install, use or run the Apple Software on any non-Apple-labeled computer, or to enable others to do so. This License does not allow the Apple Software to exist on more than one computer at a time, and you may not make the Apple Software available over a network where it could be used by multiple computers at the same time.

Clean Windows Install Help

Hi, I really could use some help. My thinkvantage software got buggy and wasn't functioning, even after resotring the computer to factory clean. I erased everything, including the system partition, and started an XP install on a clean partition. I followed the instructions on the Lenovo website, but I didn't back up my IBM Tools folder. So I am stuck. I need help getting from a clean install to a working computer. I have a second computer that I am using to access the internet. Here's what I think would help:
1. A list of the drivers I should download to get my system back up. Is there a specific one that would start an entire system update?
2. Is there a location where I can download that IBM Tools folder?
I'm not sure what else I can tell you. Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave

chez17, welcome to the forum,
Start with ThinkVantage System Update, if it misses something you can go to the Driver Site for your ThinkPad.
Happy installing

Boot Camp Windows install format to NTFS not working.

As a preface I am new to Apple and more complex computer issues in general. With that said I have spent several hours trying to get Windows 8.1 installed from the DVD media to a partition created using Boot Camp Assistant. I have tried several suggestions and looked through many threads, blogs and articles and none seem to have the correct answer. Below are the steps that I have followed and the issue that I run into every time.
Open Boot Camp Assistant
     Select Download the latest Windows support software from Apple
     Select Install Windows 7 or later version
     Download support software to USB Drive (leave connected)
     Create a Partition (200GB)
Hold Option on Reboot and Select Windows
Begin the Windows install process
Select Custom: Install Windows only (advanced)
Installation asks: Where do you want to install Windows?
Select Drive 0 partition 4: BOOTCAMP
     Error Message Details:
          Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style.
          Windows cannot be installed to this hard disk space. Windows must be installed to a partition formatted as NTFS.
Solution I found from many threads is that I need to "Format" the partition. To do so I:
     Select Drive 0 Partition 4: BOOTCAMP
     Select Format
     Select Drive 0 Partition 4 (No longer titled as BOOTCAMP after the reformat)
          Error Message Details:
               Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style.
I cant seem to find a solution to this. Any help would be appreciated. I have tried removing all other connected drives and devices, and recreating the partition several times with no luck.
Machine Info:
OS X Yosemite 10.10.2
Mac (27-inch, Late 2013)
Processor: 3.2 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
I also have VMware Fusion installed on the machine and already used the Windows installation media to create a virtual machine. Is it possible to transfer my virtual machine to a Boot Camp partition? I did a little research and it looks as though thats not possible (at least not easily) but I figured I'd ask anyway.

Sorry for the delayed response. I'm still working to get a solution so any help is much appreciated. Thanks.
The installation media I purchased is for windows 8.1. Is that the issue? Do I need to install 8 not 8.1?

The rest ran smoothly

Daren't sync iPhone to new Windows install. HELP

My old Windows installation was recently plagued by a virus, and as such I had to back everything up, and re-install. I've retrieved all my music off of my iPod Classic, no problems there. Set the iPod to manual, no stupid iTunes wiping.
I also have a first gen iPhone, running 2.1, synced with the old library and not this one. I daren't plug it in due to fear of having it wiped, which would be disastrous as it's the only copy of all my contacts. Photos and music I can re-sync by hand happily. But somebody please tell me it won't wipe all of my contacts, predictive text, text history, apps etc. Is there any way of making it a manual device like the iPod, and only change what I WANT to change?
Help needed, Thank You in advance.

Oh believe me I'd LOVE a Mac. I'd use Linux if I could, but with the iPod and iPhone I need iTunes. My brother has a MacBook, excellent piece of kit. Mac's my favourite OS, stable and pretty. But I've recently bought a crap load of Photo equipment so I have no real money left lol.
I'd have done an iTunes backup, but I couldn't actually open iTunes. I got all my Photos off the old pc, so that's fine. I just accept a Windows install won't last me that long at any one time. It's a sad fact of life.
I think what I'll do is just manually enter my contacts into Outlook, and then just sync with this library, as long as I have my contacts I'm not fussed, the music needs sorting through on it anyway.
It will work if I put my contacts into Outlook and then sync with this new install won't it?

Help Promise 378 Sata (non raid) Windows install

Ok I am now atempting a fresh WinXP install on my new WD Raptor.
The Problem being that XP setup does not see my Sata drive.
After F6 it gives me the following choices...
"Win2000 Promise Sata378 Controller"
"WinNT Promise Sata378 Controller"
"Win Server 2003 Promise FastTrak 376/378 Controller"
"WinXP Promise FastTrak 376/378 Controller"
The Obvious selection #4 has been tried multiple times, it never see's my Sata drive.
Options 1&2 give error as I did not copy Win2000 and WinNT folders on floppy.
Is XP based on NT or 2000? I dont remember.
Floppy was made according to "makedisk.txt in the 378_55.exe.
Ive tried multiple Bios settings under "On chip Ide configuration"
If you read my earlier post I had a problem with my current Windows install loading raid drivers by default. I think Xp setup is doing the same thing. How do I get it to load Sata drivers instead?
Thinking Promise or MSI (whoever) should have gone to the trouble of configuring seperate files, ie. 378_Raid.exe 378_Sata.exe!
Yes I have Changed boot order to the sata drive. Order is floppy, CD, Sata, Other (yes).
Tried legacy and native modes, Sata only and both etc. etc.
Still think the problem is with the floppy. Probably the "txtsetup.oem" file. But Im not enuff of a wizard to edit it proper.

Check the sata configuration in bios.
I set it in auto (it has auto,disabled enhanced and one more option,i don't remember)
or a 848p neo2-v board and it worked!
If you don't see it recognised by your bios it won't be recognised by windows either!
So don't bother letting it start the boot from cd unless you can see your drive in the bios.
What i suggest is that you continuously press delete at boot,
go into bios, change some settings, press F10, reboot,press delete again and if you still
don't see your drive,try others settings,press F10 etc.
Go into boot from cd,that is, xp installation ONLY AFTER you can see your drive in bios.

1.30 BIOS Screwed Up Windows Install

I'm the owner of a W520 (system specs at the bottom). I finally decided to jump on the BIOS 1.30 train amid news of better power management and forsake my 1.16 BIOS that allowed me to use TurboBoost on battery. After I plugged in my laptop and finished with the BIOS Update Utility from Lenovo's website, the computer rebooted and the message about a chip being flashed was displayed in the lower-left (100% fan speed and all). I was at work at the time and was called away by a customer. When I got back, the power was on and the fans were at normal levels, but the screen was entirely black except for a slowly blinking underscore in the top-left corner. The hard drive activity light blinks extremely faintly, rapidly, and at a consistent pace. I let this be for about 20-25 minutes to be sure it wasn't part of the BIOS flashing process and then decided to troubleshoot. This activity persists every reboot.
Here is what I've done so far:
-Checked BIOS for version (displayed as ver. 1.30 w/ ECP at ver. 1.17)
-Booted into Windows PE and ran MbrFix's "restoreMBR" command on the affected drive
Tomorrow is my one day off a week and I'd like to have at least some of it for leisure, which is why I'm coming to you for help. Has anyone seen this before? Suggestions would be very helpful! Right now I'm wondering whether I should A) Format a flash drive and put my Windows install back on so I can do a Startup Repair or B) Investigate restoring/replacing the MBR or C) Run some kind of hard drive diagnostic or D) Replace the CMOS/Remove Battery/Invoke voodoo magic

Here are the unsuccessful things I've done so far:

-Booted into Windows PE and ran MbrFix's "restoreMBR" command on the affected drive
-Tried pointing Windows repair image running off my USB drive to the drive controller (RST) files, iaStor.inf and iaAHCI.inf. It thinks the files are unrelated to my system hardware.
-From cmd prompt, bootrec.exe/ScanOS sees my installationon the D: drive. Startup Repair claims it has successfully repaired the installation, but reboot produces same problem.
-Built a custom Windows 7 image using RT7 Lite integrating iaStor.inf and iaAHCI.inf into the Drivers section and repeated last step.
-Ran the familiar bootrec.exe /fixmbr then /fixboot then /rebuildBCD commands. They failed, giving the message "the requested system device cannot be found".
-Manually marked partition 1 active on my system drive. Startup Repair failed again and gives me the following error:

Sadly, I'm still greeted by the black screen and continuously flickering disk activity LED. Booting to the hard disk from inside a multiboot menu (Xboot) reveals the message: "Error Loading OS". What should I do now?!

Windows sdk help file?

Hi !
I'm looking for windows sdk help file ?
I'm using LabWindows 5.5 and I can't find
information about windows sdk functions ?
Piotr

In order to use Windows SDK files you must have CVI Full Development System, not the starter kit nor base package.
To install SDK on your hard disk you must run Custom installation: you will be prompted for a list of all installable items in which to select the appropriate options.
Hope this helps

Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

Boot Camp won't recognize Windows install CD

I am trying to install Windows XP on my MacBook Pro so I can use some software that only runs on older versions of Windows. When I insert the Windows install disk, it spins, makes some shuddering noises, and ejects the disk. The disk doesn't show up in Finder either. This seems to be the exact same problem a user had in a previous thread (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2562503?start=0&tstart=0), but I don't know if they came up with a solution in the end (also, I'm not quite sure I even understood their suggested solutions). My disk drive has no problem with other CDs (e.g. music CDs), and it doesn't look like the install disk is at all scratched or dirty.
More details:
I am using Boot Camp Assistant version 3.0.4 of a MacBook Pro on a 2011 MacBook Pro with OS X 10.6.8. The version of Windows that I am trying to install is a 2009 CD of a full version Windows XP Pro with SP3, which the vendor (http://www.softwarespeedy.com/microsoft-windows-xp-pro-with-sp3/)
described as "a full version on all brands of systems, Macs or custom butil systems. Purchase includes disk, UPK, and certificate of authenticity license which will validate with Microsoft and activate."
Please help!

I just tried using Virtual Box, but I am having trouble with that too. Virtual Box seemed to install fine, but I can't figure out how to install Windows on that since my CD drive still spits out my Windows installation disk. When I click Start in Virtual Box, it looks for and doesn't find a "bootable medium." I am assuming this is supposed to be my Windows XP installation disk, but I still have the problem that my computer doesn't recognize it.

Which APP is most appropriate to be used immediately after a fresh clean Windows install?

Hi,
The product Name of my computer is: HP Pavilion dv6-6093ex Entertainment
Notebook PC support
The number of my computer is : LM610EA#A2N.
I know to install the required drivers for my notebook computer, I will need to use the HP Recovery Manager; which will install the original software and hardware drivers that first came with my notebook. To do this, please follow this document on Using Recovery Manager to Restore Software and Drivers (Windows 7), as well as (Windows 8 and 8.1).
To update the drivers on my computer to the latest software, I recommend following this document on Using HP Support Assistant (Windows 7) as well as (Windows 8 and 8.1).
However,
First: my primary goal is to know which HP tool is most appropriate for locating, obtaining, and installing all appropriate drivers, updates, etc. immediately after a clean new Windows 7 or 8.1 installation.
I know that HP support assistant helps to download the updates for existing sotware, and drivers. However, if I made a fresh installation of widows, there wouldn't be existing drivers or software, then Which one is most appropriate to be used immediately after a fresh new clean Windows install?? -- to determine, retrieve, and install all the appropriate drivers??
Second: How to save/transfer/export/move the Drivers and Application built-in HP Recovery Manager onto a HDD Or a disc(DVD/CD). So, in case I have delted the HP Recovery Manager, and installed a new Windows 7 installation, then I would be using these Drivers and Applications saved on a HDD or Disc to retrieve, and install all the appropriate dirvers and applications?
Finally: All rivers and Application built-in HP Recovery Manager are saved as NON-SoftPaq on a folder called SwSetup. So could I download all rivers and Application built-in HP Recovery Manager as a SoftPaq.

Disk partition issue.Cant allocate the free space for windows.ls help.

I have created a partition for OS X (200GB journaled, encrypted) and also left 51GB unallocated for Boot Camp later on.
After I successfully installed OS X 10.9, I wanted to install Windows 8.1 with Boot Camp. But Boot Camp only wants to shrink the Macintosh HD partition, and doesn't want to use the free space left on the drive. So I switched to Disk Utility, to try it that way. But in Disk Utility I wasn't able to create a new partition (if I press the 'partition' button it just doesn't do anything).
Next, I tried to switch of File Vault 2, let it decrypt itself, restart, and then try it again in internet recovery mode. But still, I cannot expand the Macintosh HD-partition or create a new partition.
Disk Utility log:
2014-09-04 00:42:31 +0200: Preparing partitioning: 'APPLE SSD SM256E Media'
Also, Disk Utility tells me there is 200.000.000.000 bytes of 200.000.000.000 bytes used, and 0 bytes of free space. Even though not even half of the drive is colored blue (which displays the amount of data on the drive). Finder tells me only 88GB is used.
I used the new installation for no longer than half a day, so there can't be issues that data is spread over the whole volume. Disk Utility can't find any problems, and tells me the disk and all of her volumes are okay (in green texts).
I also tried to start from a windows-install-usb, and tried to make a partition of the 'unallocated space', but then Windows tells me that it fails because the volume is part of the 'GPT partition style'.
What do I have to do to repartition my volumes!?
I'm using a MacBook Pro Retina 15" (MacBook Pro 10,1) with a 256GB SSD (251GB according to OS X).

As you're finding, a limitation of basic disk is that it only allows 4 primary partitions or 3 primary partitions and an extended partition.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd163549.aspx
For information on converting basic to dynamic as well as considerations prior to doing so, consult this article. It should help you make a decision whether or not you want to convert the disk:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd163552.aspx
If you decide to convert, get a backup so that no matter what you're covered. Not that it's risky, but better safe than sorry.

Do any of you have any ideas as to what might be the problem.
Many thanks,

Hi David,
     Thanks for getting back to me. One question, Do I need to install CMS seperately or the does
     the BusinessObjects installs it?
     When I did the BusinessObjects install it installed the Microsoft SQL server 2008 Express and created an
     SQL Server Instance named BOE140. I checked with Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (which I downloaded from Microsoft) and saw that no tables were created.
     Regarding the message
     "(.\crypto.cpp:199). (FALSE : digest exception: The FIPS140 shared library could not be found (10027))."
     listed in the log file above, what is my system missing.
     Looks like CMS is not getting installed.
     I am doing the install on a VMware Windows 2008 system with 8 GB ram and 50 GB file space.
     Are there any special requirements of configuration on the Windows system?
     Thanks for your help,
     Arvind

How to setup the windows installed pxi to RT target

how to setup the windows installed pxi to RT target?

Ranjith,
I think the answer for your 1st que is NO. In the sense, you can run the code, but it may not work precisely as it is supposed to...
A target can be said to be an RT, if & only if it has an RTOS installed in it, not just Windows, which is not a real-time OS.
Youcan run the existing code in Windows, but as I said earlier, it may not give you the actual results.
Finally, hereafter, pl dont use the term 'box' for a PXI. It is a chassis with a main module that runs on Windows or an embedded RT processor/conrtoller that runs on an RTOS like VxWorks or Phsr Lap.
Hope this helps you to some extent...
