Analyze the error "C:\Windows\Panther\unattend.xml" after the recovery attempt (computer laptop gateway)

I had a problem, which lead to the other. I'll just show what I posted in the other thread. Thus, I have provided the link for reference.

This is the excerpt from this thread: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en/vistawu/thread/a42818dc-4037-4551-aaa4-bc1330d4203b?prof=required

"Well, then taking your advice, I found the software to restore the computer to its original state. I save all of his documents and then run the restore process. Should be no problem right?

NOPE! It installed fine, and now it is stuck in an ANOTHER infinite boot loop! (This laptop must love restart all the time).

So yes, this is what he does now.

It starts normally with the typical screen of Vista (the puke green bar fly across the screen). Then it comes up with the screen blue-green pretty fancy, and it says "Please wait while Windows continues to set up your computer...". »

Right now, it comes up with this box beautiful error "Windows could not parse or treat [C:\Windows\Panther\unattend.xml] unattended Setup answer file. The answer file is invalid. "with the OK" "button. You click on 'OK', it stops and then restarts, shows the same message.

I tried Googling this error, but nothing of the suite of solutions my situation. Ugh! Of course, I can't get back into windows and simply stop and start the restore process again.

Ideas? »

Just so that you know it's a she is a Windows Vista Home Premium 64 - bit SP1 OEMAct gateway.

http://support.gateway.com/s/software/MICROSOF/Vista/7515418/7515418su531.shtml

Above is how the gateway recovery is supposed to work.

Also, try this:

Try using a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

    A hard drive with my Adobe leases was virus-infested and destroyed before Adobe products could be uninstalled.

    I had to uninstall the 2nd install computer (laptop) in order to install on my new desk.

    I would like to reinstall on my laptop but cannot because there is no way for me to uninstall from the destroyed hard drive.

    Your instructions tell me to contact me about this.

    Help, please!

    Normally, you do not have to uninstall anything, you only need to disable. You didn't need to uninstall on the laptop, nor do you need to turn it off.  If it is for the creative cloud then you should be able to install and connect on the laptop now and he is likely to ask you if you would allow all other facilities to be disconnected.  You can select Yes which will erase all of the activations, and then after that the laptop is turned on you can connect on the new desktop still once more.

  • relocation of the agars recovery on computer laptop girls. Windows Vista Basic. Will not install correctly.

    Had to reinstall Windows Vista Basic on my laptop now girls probably 4 or 5 times over the past year.  A question is we get full and you get to a screen that says not to interrupt and cela will take a few minutes, which, on an attempt, I let it run all night and never went.  Finally, just let it load and put an end to the function and let him simply use the laptop.  Then after a few moments to use his laptop begins to freeze.  So, I have to go and try to reinstall its OS.

    If you restore so frequently, or at all, someone is something fundimentally incorrect and visit places / download infected files.

    Let me welcome in the HP support community where you can ask questions, find solutions, and get help with problems you encounter.

    Cables and devices to disconnect all the connected such as personal media players, USB drives, printers and faxes. Remove support for internal hard drives and remove any recently added hardware internally.

    It may be necessary to disable startup secure in the BIOS to start the computer using recovery media (CD/DVD or USB key).

    The new recovery for 2015 fall update manager must be downloaded and installed to successfully carry out a recovery of the system using HP Recovery Manager.

    It takes a minimum of 3 GB of free space to install the update in the Recovery Manager.

    Do you back up all personal files and read all of the instructions required warning before performing a system recovery? To backup your files will result in a loss of files and information you don't want to lose.

    To get the instructions back up and save your files, see back up your files (Windows 10: 8).

    The full recovery process may take 4 to 6 hours or longer to complete. For best results, the computer must not be connected to the Internet. The computer will restart several times during the process. Do not turn off or interrupt the recovery process until the prompt to log on Windows.

    Hello community,

    You can install and run Windows 8 32-bit on a 64-bit platform laptop?

    Yes, you can.

    My dilemma is that I have a laptop of the 64-bit platform and an office of the 32-bit platform; the former is for 2 years and it is 5 years old and the one I use to do most of my work.  I want to upgrade Windows 7 to Windows 8, but I'm not sure whether to buy Windows 8 32-bit or 64-bit?

    If you buy the license for sale at retail, it already comes with versions 32 and 64 bit, but his only one license you need to decide which of the machines that you want to upgrade.

    The benefits are more obvious when you have a large amount of RAM (RAM) installed on your computer, typically 4 GB of RAM or more. In this case, because a 64-bit operating system can handle large amounts of memory more efficiently as a 32-bit, 64-bit operating system can be more responsive when you run several programs at once and switching between them frequently.
