Windows refuses to install (slew of issues, specifically the partition)
Hello guys,
I'm using the iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014), OS X Yosemite with a fusion drive). Previously I had Windows installed perfectly. I was running the tech build but after a few months I managed to mess it up due to driver issues. I decided to start over and reinstall the OS and use Windows 8.1.
I did a checksum on the ISO used for Windows 8.1 and it checked out. I also tried using Windows Enterprise (supposedly not support but it's worked before for me) and the Windows tech build again.
The first set off issues is that all versions tell me I can't partition the drive (windows installation screen). Then once I format it within the windows installation screen, it's the same issue.
I tried using Tuxera, still doesn't work. Windows Techbuild recommended me to use fat32. Still doesn't work, and makes me format it regardless.
At one point my partition got divided up.
And when I goto boot camp assistant I get "the startup disk cannot be partitioned or restore to a single partition".
I've lost hope and I can't repartition my entire drive at the moment. Is there a fix for this? I've also tried deleting the partition within Windows, making it free space. That manages to get me to the install screen but it gets stuck at ZERO percent and blames my source media (although the checksum is correct and it's done the same with Windows 8.1, Enterprise, and the Tech Build.
So many problems. I've been using bootcamp since about 2007 or 2008? Never had these issues.
It is a fusion drive. 1 Tb. I've used BC assistant to format the drive, I've used Disk utility, I've used the windows installation screen. It's been messy because I've had to systematically see what could work and it hasn't be working in my favor. Not bootcamp won't format the drive . It shows this.

I found one solution to this problem on hp forum but my laptop has boot legacy and does not disable the efi boot order.
HP Model# HP 1000-1140TU Notebook PC
Serial# 5cg2481dbg
Product# c8c94pa#uuf
This is solution which is found on hp forum
SolutionThe resolution to this issue depends on the the hard disk volume size:
Follow these steps if the hard disk volume size is less than 2.19 TB:
Temporarily disable the EFI Boot Sources setting in the BIOS:
Restart the computer, and then press F10 to enter the BIOS.
Navigate to Storage > Boot Order , and then disable the EFI Boot Sources .
Select File > Save Changes > Exit .
Install the Windows operating system.
Enable the EFI Boot Sources setting in the BIOS:
Restart the computer, and then press F10 to enter the BIOS.
Navigate to Storage > Boot Order , and then enable the EFI Boot Sources .
Select File > Save Changes > Exit .
Follow these steps if the hard disk volume size is greater than 2.19 TB:
Install the HP BIOS Update UEFI utility from the HP Web site:
Click here to access the document "HP BIOS Update UEFI" .

Windows XP Clean Install – What I discovered and the help I need
Windows XP Clean Install – What I discovered and the help I need
I previously had a problem with my Laptop dying randomly you can read about it in the thread entitled Computer dies Randomly (Battery also dead) click to view
Before I realised the solutions, I thought that maybe my Laptop had become infected with a Virus and decided it would be prudent to do a clean install of the Windows XP operating system.
Everything went perfectly and thought a clean install was a good opportunity to download the “XP Service Pack 3” SP3 and did so, it seemed very quiet though and that’s when I realised I had no sound…
I downloaded all of the sound drivers I could find on the Lenovo site for 3000 N100 (I knew from previous experience that the “SOUNDMAX” driver is the only one that actually works with this 3000 N100) in order to install this you have to install the Realtek HD audio driver, but in order to install that you have to install some other Driver/Soft that only works with SP1 or SP2 if you try to install it with SP3 it will say that you don’t need the file as your Service pack is newer than the file you want to install, this is understandable as SP3 is not final as of yet (but it’s good to know).
My next problem was that my extra RAM was not detected, this was fixed by updating the BIOS, after installing all of the System updates, PC Doctor, everything I could find for 3000 N100 I decided to rest, I pushed the Lenovo care button and it did not work, I found a hot key driver and installed it but still the Lenovo care button does not work, previously when I pushed this button it would bring up the Lenovo menu but now it’s just a dead button, Does anyone know how to get this button working again?
I am pretty sure that everything else is working fine now, just that button not working is very annoying, is there a set routing of installs you must do to get everything working, i.e. bios 1st audio 2nd system update 3rd etc...
Please help, I hope I have helped you...

Solved!
Go to Solution.Ok first everything works now... except the Lenovo Care button, I just posted the other stuff cause it might help other members, I have searched the forum for an anwser to this problem but there was only one anwser (suggesting to uninstall the driver restart and re-install it) and it did not result in a working Lenovo Care button...
I don't beleive the Lenovo keyboad drivers are in any way related to the Service pack 3 as they do not use the Service pack files, to back this up I also had the same problem when Service Pack 2 was installed...
The Lenovo Care button works fine on Boot up screen to access the rescue and recovery software (So the mechanics of the button are fine) but once Windows XP loads it is just a dead button, I remember it used to open up the Lenovo Care Start bar, I got it working once in the past but I can't remember what I did, I thought someone here might know the anwser... -
I'm installing windows 8 64 from iso dvd-I did the partition wiht BCamp 5.
I did the usb drive with the compatibility software-once installation start from the dvd, it ask me for some disk, usb or dvd drivers to continue.
How I can continue the instalation? How I can provide those driver to the instalation process?
Thanks
ManuelYou can't get there with GUID/GPT.
There are tips on making a USB flash device that is bootable.
You can set aside a small 6GB partition somewhere and put Windows 7 installer there and run it WHILE IN Windows.
Windows Vista can be upgraded in place to 7 RC.
You'll need NTFS (30-50GB).
Windows doesn't support FW for booting.
You can create a drive that has Master Boot Record. -
Hey Im getting the following error when trying to install windows from a USB.
"Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, windows can only be installed to GPT disks."
I installed the windows 8 (64bit) iso using boot camp to a usb. I was able to do this after changing the info.plist to allow me to place the iso on the usb. After I make the partition and start the install, I get the above error. I formatted the partition in the installation but I keep getting this error. I've repreated the entire process but i keep getting this errror and the disk utility says my partition is a Windows NT File System (NTFS) so im not sure what's going on. If you can help me that would be greatly appreciatedI am having the same problem. Windows is trying to install.

I am going to buy either a Mac Air or Mac Pro Retina 8GB RAM and 256GB. And as I have to still run Windows programs I will install Parallels 9. As the Mac are both 64bit machines does that mean I need to install Windows 7 64bit or just install 32 bit? (Going with Win7 as I hate Win8). And I will install Office Pro 2013 64 bit too or 32 bit or is that automatically selected by the underlying OS (I use Word, Excel and Access mainly for a membership database of a local club) ? I am not a power user so would appreciate advice on way to go
Again thank you. If I only use word, excel and access in the Win environment and Mac OS for email and safari for internet do I need anti virus software . Ie my connection to the world is mac only and I use office pro only to ruin the club, newsletters, membership database etc. and of course anything I do there can drag/drop to the mac environ to email. That's my understanding anyway. Next will my existing .pst file copy directly into mac mail or do I have to runs translator as I recall reading something about that ages ago when I started thinking Mac

I have an Early 2011 13" MBP going strong with an SSD and original HDD installed in the optical drive. However, having had success with windows 7 on my old HDD I was planning to install Windows 8.1 (from .iso) on my SSD. However, for the past day or so it's been a nightmare.
I tried the official procedure but by editing the bootcamp info.plist so I could boot from USB (you can't install windows from an external optical drive apparently) partitioning as bootcamp wanted too.
I then tried it a number of different ways using disk utility etc and with an empty space
However, I always seem to end up with the error "“Windows cannot be installed on this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows can only installed on GPT disks“
I read some interesting stuff here http://www.royhochstenbach.com/installing-windows-8-1-on-a-2013-mac-pro/
He points out that
"Windows 7 and 8 in x64 support EFI. Normally if you install Windows on a Mac and use the installation DVD, it boots into regular BIOS mode, thus can be installed on an MBR partition. I tried the same, but since the Mac Pro doesn’t have an optical drive I had to use an external drive. And apparently the Mac boots external optical drives in EFI mode too. The Bootcamp wizard is aware of this, and creates a GPT partition on a non-superdrive Mac but an MBR partition on a superdrive Mac."
This means Bootcamp is essentially making the wrong type of partition?
My real question is? How do I install it windows 8? I'm really on my last legs!
I really don't want to have to open this thing up and reinsert my optical drive as its really really difficult to get out of the enclosure (would probably have to break it).
A huge thanks in advance!Hi,
Have you tried that suggestion?
You also could use this commands to check and install again:
Inside windows installer, hit Shift+F10 to get a command prompt, then run diskpart and type List disk to displays a list of disks and information about them, such as their size, amount of available free space, whether the disk is a basic or dynamic disk,
and whether the disk uses the master boot record (MBR) or GUID partition table (GPT) partition style.
and then select the target disk. Zap the drive (with the clean command), create GPT table (new gpt), create the GPT-EFI special partitions.
Step-by-step instructions is here for reference:
HOW TO: Use the Diskpart.efi Utility to Create a GUID Partition Table Partition on a Raw Disk in Windows
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/297800?wa=wsignin1.0
Then reboot so the firmware finds those partitions and adds the disk to the EFI-native boot order (Windows installer checks this).

Windows 7 X301 Music Device Drivers Issue
I am having issues with 3 Devices. they are all Akai items (LPD8, LPK25, MPK25).
The items work perfectly on 6 other win7 machines - install with no issues. The X301 is the only problem child. These devices use generic drivers - there are no specific drivers for them. on the machines that work the following drivers are used:
dmk.sys
ksthunk.sys
portcls.sys
usbaudio.sys
sysfxui.dll
wmalfxgfxdsp.dll
somhow this won;t work on the OS on the lenovo. 'driving' me nuts.
ideas?one more detail on the dirvers themselves.
This items are all using the generic 'USB Audio Device' Driver - so please don't say - go to the manufacturer's site :-)
this driver seems completely unavailable on this one machine - even though all the supporting files are there. In addtion, it can't seem to get it from Windows update.

WIndows Won't install! and reboots instead!! HELP!!
The current Windows I am running on is: Windows 32 bit OEM
I am trying to install Windows 10 64 bit because I want to upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit.
I have already installed windows 10 ISO and mounted onto my usb and it works
BUT! my Problem is when it loads, I see the logo and the loading sign for 10 sec. than its has a quick blue box thing saying:
"there are problems on your computer and now it will restart"
it won't let me enter into the installation page? if I took the usb out windows 7 still works.
I am trying to run a clean installation on my hard drive, my hard drive is 500gb and I have 10gb ram running
Should I manually re-format my hard drive before I run the windows 10 64 bit installation.
Please help ! if anyone had run into this problem before, please help me ! DXPaul Adare is correct in saying that you cannot "upgrade" from 32-bit to 64-bit. You can, however, backup your files and reload them onto your PC.
Given that you are able to boot Windows 7 after the failure to install Windows 10 Technical Preview, it is apparent that you are not formatting the drive during your clean installation. There are a number of potential issues an existing configuration can
cause, such as preventing Windows Setup from registering boot files, modifying partitions, or moving an existing installation and data to the windows.old folder. I would recommend removing the partitions from your drive (note: this will erase any data remaining
on the hard disk) during installation to ensure that Windows Setup has a fresh hard drive to install to. If you continue to experience errors, two other factors to take into consideration are:
Does your system use a storage controller that requires loading a driver during Windows Setup?
Is the hardware malfunctioning? Do the hard disk and memory pass testing software like Windows Memory Diagnostic or chkdsk?

Windows 7 T-series (T400) powermanagement issues?
Hey, I just clean upgraded my T400 from a very stable Vista32 Home Pre to a Windows 7 Ultimate hoping to reap the benefits of faster boot time and faster operation of notebook features (sleep & hibernate) among other thinigs.
Unfortunately I've noticed some problems with my new setup. My no 1 problem is the sleep is unstable. I've had two occasions now where I put the machine to sleep, and had the machine shut down instead, and upon reboot, windows recognizes it was shutdown unexpectedly, and seems to recover correctly.
It seems like the machine dies suspending or perhaps it suspends then dies. I didn't notice it both times, because the suspend operation is not instataneous.
Another problem which seems related is that I still get the Fn+Home/End brightness controls don't work sometimes. It's rare, (probably twice), but the killer here is that the "close the lid and open it again" does not solve the problem. Instead it shuts the screen off, and never comes back...and the only solution is to hold the power button.
These problems are really disconcerting, and from what I've heard from Windows 7, very unusual. So I'm confused and am wondering if anybody else has experienced anything like this.
Naturally I've updated to the very latest BIOS update, and tried to get all the latest drivers. I used System Update 4, but it seems to miss some of the updates (i.e. Power manager update, IBM PM device, Bluetooth update etc.) so I tried to update each component from the driver matrix...checking each one as much as I could.
I haven't been able to make any progress by looking through the eventviewer logs. Windows 7 has some nice power management troubleshooting logs, but nothing seems to be coming up as the problem.
Thanks in advance for any feedback!&Re: Windows 7 - Audigy 2 ZS Mic Issues? The support pack does absolutely nothing to fix the mic issues.
Does this driver improve sound quality or performance? Are there any tweaks?
No, this driver does not improve sound quality nor increase performance.
No, there are no tweaks.
If someone states that its driver improves sound quality and performance, you are being fooled, cheated.
It is even worse that the so called tweaks come from a person who is not EVEN technically acknowledged, does NOT know anything about Windows internals, software engineering and?sound?fidelity that all audiophiles always look for.
If you "feel" the sound better, that is the infamous placebo effect and there is no real proof that any tweaks work.
In fact, I have yet to see a driver that states in its release notes that it improves sound quality.
I've disassembled about every single .SYS driver, .DLL libraries and .EXE executables and found nothing.
There are some undocumented registry values, but nothing related to sound quality or performance.

Windows 7 - Audigy 2 ZS Mic Issues
"Windows 7 - Audigy 2 ZS Mic IssuesG Ok, i've seen so many posts on this issue but am now suffering from a headache after spending 3 hours trying everything I could find in google to fix this.
The mic works when it wants. When it does work (rarely), its garbled or lagging like crazy.
I have read, and searched this forums, but besides seeing "Doesn't work" or "Use daniel_k's drivers" i cant find any definate fix (or even links to something new that I haven't already tried).
I tried daniel ks drivers and they seems to be pretty darn good, however it still did not correct my issue.

Verizon mades changes in the coding and now Windows Phone 7 is having data issues!!!
Starting about 3 weeks ago, I stopped receiving text messages and even worse stopped receiving calls yet alone my voicemails. I have changed not one thing to my phone, everything is exactly the way it was before the issues arised. Now I have to trick my phone to receive my data by dialing into my voicemail... And then what do you know, 30 text mesages, 12 voicemails!!!
The voicemails wont even tell you the date or time stamp (the time the voicemail was received). After numerous *228 and talking with level 2 over the holidays, I see a huge article on multiple news sites stating Verizon is having data issues... Dropped calls, loss of data, no signal while all our phone keep showing full bars and 3g. Verizon stated its only happening on there 4gLTE system and not 3G but thats a load of crap.
All one has to do is a google search of loss of text messages or voicemails on Verizon and you will see 100's up to 1000's of users like you and me all experiencing the same issues. And not just with Windows Phone 7, but with there baby Driod and iPhone as well.
What really ****** me off is that Verizon loves to play the blame game or pass the buck game. Hard Reset your phone and that will solve the problem... Yeah Right. If this was our OS and we updated a driver that changed the OS in the background I can see that being the solution. But for the 100's or 1000's of users that go to work daily, check there emails and text daily, and haven't changed one thing on the phone... THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!!!
Now I read an articile for someone extermely close to Microsoft stating that Verizon turned down Nokia's new 4GLTE phone because they have no faith in the operating system and I have to think that maybe behind the scenes Verizon is trying to force us off Windows Phone 7 platform with data issue behind the scene and try to get us all into the Droid Platform which they make 50% of the cash off the phone just like the iPhone...
This is a joke, and I am really starting to think about going to ATT and getting the HTC Titan or the new Nokia 900. I have already research a 3 party app that will allow you to backup and restore your phone. And just read that Microsoft just put out an ad for backup, restore and cloud backup programmers for this latest feature.
Verizon the games need to stop, Verizon you need to stand behind this Platform, Verizon you need to provide better service for all us 3G users!!!
TheJester77Starting about 3 weeks ago, I stopped receiving text messages and even worse stopped receiving calls yet alone my voicemails. I have changed not one thing to my phone, everything is exactly the way it was before the issues arised. Now I have to trick my phone to receive my data by dialing into my voicemail... And then what do you know, 30 text mesages, 12 voicemails!!!
The voicemails wont even tell you the date or time stamp (the time the voicemail was received). After numerous *228 and talking with level 2 over the holidays, I see a huge article on multiple news sites stating Verizon is having data issues... Dropped calls, loss of data, no signal while all our phone keep showing full bars and 3g. Verizon stated its only happening on there 4gLTE system and not 3G but thats a load of crap.
All one has to do is a google search of loss of text messages or voicemails on Verizon and you will see 100's up to 1000's of users like you and me all experiencing the same issues. And not just with Windows Phone 7, but with there baby Driod and iPhone as well.
What really ****** me off is that Verizon loves to play the blame game or pass the buck game. Hard Reset your phone and that will solve the problem... Yeah Right. If this was our OS and we updated a driver that changed the OS in the background I can see that being the solution.

How can I install windows 7 using boot camp, if the partition will not format correctly?
Hi All,
I'm new to this forum and have had a chance to look around a little bit, but haven't really found an answer to the problem that I'm having.
I have an imac and I'm attempting to use boot camp. I have used it in the past, with prior versions of mac os x, but this is the first time that I have tried it with 10.6.8. The first thing I found out is that I can't use Windows XP, even with service pack 2 installed, because it doesn't find the "boot camp" partition. So, I recently obtained a full retail copy of Windows 7 and have been trying to install it. I have no problem with the boot camp assistant creating the new partition, 200 GB. However, when I insert the Windows 7 DVD and the computer restarts in the Win 7 install screen it tells me that I cannot install Windows on the selected partition (which I expected to see.) So I choose "format" the further format the partition. It doesn't ask me how I would like to partition this, but just seems to start. All seems to go fine until it finishes and i see the same message of "Windows cannot be installed in the selected partition." I can click on the format tab endlessly but it still doesn't seem to work. Does anyone have any ideas? I've called Apple and their technicians keep telling me that I need to reinstall the Mac OS again, which I've tried. It doesn't seem to help either.
Thanks in advance for your help,

Yes, I choose "Format" under the advanced options screen. It seems like it formats, but then I get the same message of "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style." I can continue to click "format" but i keep getting the same error.
There is the answer, right in front of us ....
Delete the bootcamp partition and start again the correct partition type is GUID but BootCamp should take care of that automatically so try again.
