Windows Vista disk will not install in bootcamp

I have been trying for several days to install Win Vista home premium (full version). The dvd drive always does the same. It starts to spin up and then I hear it read twice and then it stops and I end up with the light grey screen. I have gone as far now as a full system clean install (and time machine restore). I have tried unplugging everything. I have tried using the original keyboard and mouse. I have read every post I can find. I have tried to boot by holding option key. All hardware checks out fine, the disk is good. Does anyone have any insight into what could be done to correct this issue? Any input appreciated.

My CS5 Web Premium Software disk will not install on my windows 7 pc

You can try downloading the CS5 software instead of using the disk and then use the serial number from the disk to activate it.

CS5 Dreamweaver on Windows Vista. Will not open at all. Please advise

CS5 Dreamweaver on Windows Vista. Will not open at all. Been fine until now. No recent updates on computer, other Creative Suite software all work fine too.
I have the Student package installation so I am unable to uninstall then re-install as one off set up. Or is it possible to get the re-installation on a student package, and if so will I have to re-install everything?
have been using Dreamweaver only two months ago and now it is will not open. I do not get anything on the screen, no egg-timer or anything. Tried to look up online to solve problem, but no joy.
Please advise....

If that doesn't help, try Restore Preferences. Note: your work space, custom settings & 3rd party extensions will be wiped out by this. So make backups of anything you need to keep.

If all else fails, use the CS Cleaner Tools below followed by a software re-install.

Digital camera solution disk will not install on MS Vista

Initial installation on gift machine with MS Vista was fine. Months after a reinstall the Digital camera solution disk 28.2 for Canon A340 will not install on mchine, but installed fine on a Win 7 machine. The installation goes up until it starts installing then an error message (no code) just states it cannot install.

"I will try to make a disk on his."
I doubt this will work either. MS has diffintely screwed uo Win 8 especially if you don't want a MS account.
Do you know how to use Computer Management? This is going to be purposely vague because if you don't you really shouldn't do this.
Go into Computer Management, right click on Administator and click General.
Uncheck the Account is disabled box. It is also a good idea to set a password for the Administrator account since it has total unrestricted access to the system. Now you can log off your current account and you’ll see the Administrator account show up in the list of users.

Windows 7 installation will not recognise the Bootcamp disc!

I have a 2008 Macbook running Snow leopard.
Installed Win 7 via bootcamp but when I insert the Mac Snow Leopard disc to install the Bootcamp drivers etc after the Win 7 install has succeeded, the Windows 7 installation will not recognise the disc!
Any ideas
Thanks in advance

If you used your Leopard DVD then it won't work.
As ScuseMe said only the OSX Snow Leopard DVD contains the drivers for Windows 7.

Vista SP1 will not install, error 0x800f0826. Fix It tools will not run.

I am trying to upgrade a laptop all the way to Vista SP2, I first need to install SP1. It will not install and after Step 3 or 3, 100%, reverts stating error
0x800f0826.
The common cause, looking online, is a previous failed Windows update.
On this laptop there are no updates listed at all in Windows updates, none listed as pending, installed or hidden. It is as though Windows update has no history yet it tells me
it is up to date and there are no updates available.
I have tried a huge variety of Microsoft FixIt tools from various KB articles to try and solve this and this provides my other clue as 100% all Fix it tools fail.
If I could work out what causes them to fail, I might have more insight to the failed SP1.
Running any Microsoft "fixit" tool comes up with
"Troubleshooting cannot continue because an error has occurred we're sorry but the program encountered an error and can not continueplease
try again later. To download a utility to troubleshoot this problem click here." Clicking just downloads a Cab file full of PowerShell commands and xml files. (DIAG_MATS_NETWORK_global.DiagCab) which does
not seem to work with the Microsoft Diagnostic Toolkit.
If anyone can help me get the Fix It tools working then I might stand a chance to get the rest working.

Windows 8.1 will not install the driver for Officejet 6310 All-in-One

Have downloaded the driver from the HP website, but it will not install. The download wizard "detected a problem with the driver software" but did not say how to resolve it. The option to download the software was still available, so I did that anyway. When attempting to execute from my hard-drive, extraction occurs, followed by a delay, and then a message that reads "This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way". This is in an error box headed "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library". Can anyone help please?

Hi AB-Comp,
Welcome to the HP Forums! I understand that your are seeing the error The download wizard "detected a problem with the driver software". I am happy to help you with this issue! I have some questions for you:
What Operating System are you using? Windows or Mac? What version?
Can you make copies with the printer?
How is the printer connected? Wireless, Ethernet, or USB?
Is the power cable plugged into a surge protector or directly to the wall outlet?
Hope to hear from you, and thank you for posting!

Disk will not install

I purchased a new computer and disk will not work read to install product

Hi Angel6583,
Please let me know which software are you trying to download and on what OS.

Windows 7 64bit would not install on bootcamp partition

I have a Windows 7 64bit ISO. I inserted a 8GB usb stick into my New Retina MacBook Pro and ran the Boot Camp to install Windows 7 bootable from the USB stick. It all went fine, booted into Windows install, and when I had to select a partition, I selected the only one that said BOOTCAMP and was 40GB, just as I created it earlier when creating a partition size compared to the total disk. I selected the partition and as I could not select next, I selected to format the 40GB Bootcamp partition. It didnt take long, but afterwards, when I clicked next, it showed up an error about not being able to use the partition or something, I cant fully remember.
But now my OSX will not boot. When I turn off the computer by holding down the power button, it turns off, and then when I hold down the power button to turn it back on it does the grey screen part, and then shows a black screen and shows:
No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key
What do I do here?

Hold the option/alt key down on a wired or built in keyboard and boot the machine, you enter Startup Manager and thus can get into OS X.
Next, when your installing Windows, you first have to format the internal Bootcamp partition from the FAT32(MSDOS Apple calls it) to NTFS while booted from the Windows 7 install disk, THEN you can install Windows and it takes a lot longer than a few seconds.
Read the BootCamp manual, there is also drivers you have to install into Windows

ANYTHING HEPLS!

My cousin had this same problem when she plugged in her ipod.
Luckily i was able to fix it for her.
If it doesnt show up in either iTunes or windows explorer then follow these steps
1. Click the start menu and right click my computer, click manage in the drop menu
2. Accept the security thing and then the computer management will appear
3. In the right hand pane, look for disk managment and click it.
4. In the right hand side now it should display all of your system disks, locate your iPod and click format, a dialog box will appear and check quick format and then click format.
5. Disconnect your ipod and it should begin to restart.
But if that doesnt work, try this
1. Get into computer management like before
2. Go to device management in the left pane
3. In the right pane it should show all the devices installed on your computer grouped in categories.
4. Locate your iPod right click it and click uninstall, disconnect it and then reconnect it and let the device install.

Windows Vista/iTunes will not recognize 3GS

I've never had this problem before, my iPhone/Laptop has been working fine for the few years that I've had it. Not only will the iPhone not show up on iTunes, but it's not even showing up on My Computer. I've attempted almost every troubleshooting method this site and others have to offer that I've lost count as to how many I've tried. iTunes is updated and I'm running iOS 4.0.1.
I've disabled firewalls, I've disabled/enabled Apple Mobile Device in the Service menus; I've also gone to the Device Manager menu's but it doesn't even show up. Any help would be appreciated.

Really guys? Nothing? Since my last post I've tried taking the SIM card out. Done both DFU and Recovery Mode. Tried going back to later version of iTunes and Apple Mobile Device. I've also run Diagonstics and this is what I got. Maybe it'll help.

Vista SP1 will not install

I get a quick flash of the Command Prompt screen but the install will not go any farther. This is on a brand new MacBook. Both Mac and Windows have had all of the new updates before trying to update Vista SP1. I presume since no updates are available that all drivers are current.

I couldn't tell if you are booting from the new Vista SP1 DVD, or trying to use standalone update, or Windows Update.
Some people didn't have enough free space. And before applying I would run a chkdsk and sfc along with Vista backups (either WinClone or built-in backup in Ultimate/Business edition).
The boot problem with SP1 seems like a new wrinkle in EFI firmware on new Macs.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1464025
I've done SP1 update a couple times. Once with the 700MB download update, and once with Windows Update. Normally it updates in stages, preparing, and configuring and applying. It also needs free temp space to configure and update which you regain back afterward (less about 1-2GB).

My Windows XP disc will not load in bootcamp (although it works in virtual box). Any ideas?

Windows XP was not booting up at all so I removed the partition and attempted to reinstall it. However it will not even load. The software on the mac partition is all up to date and I have run verify disk, repair disk permissions etc. What options do I have?

What model and year is your computer? Newer computers do not support XP or Vista.

Vista SP2 will not install

Good day, this is my first post. We have a 3000 N100 that will not allow Vista SP2 to install. At least that is what Microsoft support says, after spending all Sunday morning chatting with them. But SP1 installed just fine a while ago.
I uninstalled AVG today just in case but no joy.
Microsoft insists that we should reinstall Vista, but no Vista CD came with the laptop.
Another thing: when I click on the Lenovo Care icon, nothing happens?
thanks
