Windows wont launch during XP SP2 install

I'm having issues installing XP SP2 (OEM) on my Macbook Pro system w/ Boot Camp 2.0, Leopard 10.5.2. Windows wont launch after 100% of files are copied from the disc during the install process.
Boot Camp partitions HD correctly and asks for the Windows Install Disc. System restarts from the CD and begins installation - I access the blue screen where I select XP partition - 'C: Partition3 (Bootcamp) (FAT32)'. I hit Enter and installation begins. B.C. setup manual shows 2nd blue screen where you select the file system you want (FAT file or NTFS file) - I have not seen this screen yet. Does this appear after installation? Installation begins and progress bar installs through 100% in 20-30 minutes.
At 100%, computer immediately restarts to black screen and "Press any Key to continue" appears. If I press key, original installation screen appears and it takes me through the exact same process I just did. If I don't hit a key, error occurs and the screen freezes at "Press any Key". If I restart, original install screen appears and Windows re-starts installation. I'm stuck in a loop. I erased the partition with B.C., re-partitioned, but still the same result.
Any advice? I need this for school ASAP.
Thanks,
j

I watched a Youtube Video about installing so I see where the problem is. I don't see the initial End-User License agreement screen, and after I select 'C: Partition3 (Bootcamp) (FAT32)', the "Select File System" screen that is supposed to immediately show up does not appear. What gives? I know OEM should work with Boot Camp.

    Where are you installing the application from? Did you download it? Was it a dvd that you were installing it from? Also, please share the OS details.
    If you downloaded it, the set up would be having a .7z and a .exe file.
    Please run the .exe file to extract the files from .7z. You may chose to give a location other than the default. The extract would have a setup file, which may please be run to initiate installation.
    Incase you run into any issues, please do share the screenshot(s) & logs.

  • Itunes wont launch. I just installed itunes on Windows 7 PC. When i click the itunes icon the following message appears - "The itunes Library.itl file cannot be found or created..."

    I just installed itunes on a Windows 7 PC. When I click on the Itunes icon the following message appears -
    The Itunes Library.itl file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "Itunes" folder in the "Music" folder.
    I have checked and there is a file named Library.itl in the "Music" folder. I'm not sure where to go from here so any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Windows error message during palm desktop install

    Have been trying unsuccesfully to install palm desktop. Windows XP Home Edition generates error messages after software is installed which prevents using the desktop software.  Uncomfortably, I have my data only on my Tungsten e handheld.

    Thanks for the info.  I am still unable to install PD414setup.exe onto an XP machine.  The error message that I got was:  "Error opening installation log file. Verify that the specified log file location exists and is writable".

  • Itunes wont launch after 7.6 install

    It appears that itunes installs successfully but when i try to lauch it, I get a message "application failed to start because 3ivx_dec.dll was not found". Reinstalling may fix this problem. I tried reiinstalling and same error.

    i had the same problem with vista enterprise edition 32bit. uninstalled and reinstalled itunes 7.6.2.9 a few times and got the missing 3ivx_dec.dll error each time. ditto for quicktime to see if this was the culprit
    followed the advice and went to www.3ivx.com and downloaded the codec and it seems to be working now too.

  • ITunes wont launch after sucessful install

    I just bought a new iPod Nano and installed iTunes 7.02 sucessfully and it wont launch at all...it simply sits there...I have no problem with Quicktime loading...I have changed my speaker settings and even did the run program fix with no prevail...I am so frustrated...I dont know if this help either but my computer wont run windows live messenger either....it wont run anything after 7.0..............argggg

    I just bought a new iPod Nano and installed iTunes 7.02 sucessfully and it wont launch at all...it simply sits there.
    some preliminary questions.
    are you getting an error message? if so, what does it say? include error message numbers if you're getting any.
    or are you getting no error messages whatsoever when you try to launch itunes?
    if you're getting no error messages whatsoever, do you just see the wee hourglass for a few seconds, and then nothing? if so, do you also have Norton Internet Security 2005 installed on that PC?
    also, reboot the PC. bring up your Task Manager, and click on the "Processes" tab. now try to launch itunes again.
    does an "itunes.exe" process appear in the Processes tab? if so, does it persist in there or does it disappear after a few seconds?

  • Since the last update my i tunes wont launch it just give error message Error 7 (Windows error 127) how do i fix it please?

    Since the last update my i tunes wont launch it just give error message Error 7 (Windows error 127) how do i fix it please?

    Like many others I have been reading about online I am having the same error.  I tried the fix listed above and simply wasted 30 minutes of my time. I scheduled a time for Apple to call and help me through this and their solution was for me to call Microsoft for some reason?!!  iTunes made me upgrade then stopped working - I really don't see how this is a Microsoft problem??
    Like Darren if a solution is not found quickly I will also have to sell my phone as the only way to get videos and music on my phone is through the software that you made me upgrade, broke and won't help me fix.

  • Which Windows XP Pro version should I install, SP2 or SP3 ?

    I just purchased an iMac 21. I need to install Windows XP Pro. Which version of XP Pro should I install ? SP2 or SP3 ?

    Hi and welcome to Discussions,
    both are fine to be installed on a Mac.
    If you already have a XP with SP2, install it and later use the stand-alone SP3 updater.
    Regards
    Stefan

    OK, supports recommendation works. He told me the App Store version has some issues with writing the pro files out (where the retail version does it correctly).
    He had me uninstall (move) the app to my desktop, download and install the trial with the trial key, then replace the file with my App Store downloaded one.
    It WORKED....for the first time I've got Aperture and Final Cut Express loaded together and working.

    Hi,
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    Open Console in Applications>Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when trying to open CS2.
