Cannot complete installation of Windows 7 OEM on Precision T3400

Can someone help me?

I try to do a clean install on a Dell Precision T3400 with Windows 7 64 Bit OEM, but cannot complete the sequence.

It goes through the sequence of the whole installation, restart a couple of times. He gets in the beginning of the sequence as "complete installation" - contribute to what, according to me, it's the final reboot - and then crashes. I think that what should come next is the bit where to enter information first name of computer use - time, date, place - time etc. I never get that much, however.

I have not updated the BIOS. Previously Windows Vista - but the disk has been deleted - not sure if I can update the BIOS in this State.

Another thing - I swapped the graphics card. The monitor of works well during the initial installation sequence.

Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot for reading.

The suggestion above about SATA drives didn't really solve my problem, but it got me thinking in the right direction.

Here's what I've learned about this through the answer and the answers on other forums above. It turns out be a common problem:

It is usually caused by the lack of drivers for devices that are connected to the computer. Devices can include: any type of USB device (may be same mouse or keyboard), any type of hard disk, graphics cards and other types of cards such as PCI or PCIe Firewire. If you have a SCSI card then remove it permanently.

I had a Dell keyboard with built in USB ports and a Media Player control. I swapped it for a simple vanilla ordinary keyboard.

I also already swapped the graphics card that came installed on the T3400 for an older NVidia Quadro card as a fix for compatibility with my older monitors SVGA adapter.  When I searched on the NVIDIA site, I discovered that there is no Windows 7 driver for my graphics card, so I bought a DVI - I adapter that I needed the original card and replace.

My problem turned out to be the graphics card.

On other forums I have seen people solve the problem by removing the USB devices all THE. If you have a keyboard and a USB mouse, this may seem to be a problem. However, once you have initialized the windows 7 install process you can remove the keyboard and the mouse. Whenever the computer reboots it page and warn that any input device is fixed, but after a short pause, he must continue with the installation procedure. In my case, the fancy USB keyboard was certainly a problem too. Disconnected after initialization of the installation allowed the installation of two additional steps.

I curse me Microsoft about this problem, but to be honest, I was not able to run a compatibility test of windows 7 on my computer. I bought it on ebay without an operating system. If I could perhaps it would have marked the graphics card problem and composite USB keyboard device.

Don't know if it will work, but if you can't figure out what your driver problem, you can be able to run a hardware compatibility test and periperhals by a temporary installation of Ubuntu and connect it to the Net. I had no problem to boot Ubuntu from a USB key and the connection to the network.  It works perfectly first time without any of the usual shenanigans of Microsoft. In my opinion, Ubuntu is an operating system much higher with a much nicer user experience. My only reason to stick with Microsoft's older software. It's highly unlikely that I will ever consider buying a new system from Microsoft again. They lose the pedals after XP.

Good luck

  • Display driver cannot complete installation on Qosmio G30-137

    I just bought qosmio g30-137 of the Germany. My laptop had a German version of windows and I installed winXP PRO Greek edition. I have a problem with the graphics card driver. I downloaded from the TOSHIBA site. While I do Setup search the driver files that does not exist and I can't complete installation. I would like to know if anyone knows where I can find a driver to complete the procedure or if anyone knows what the problem is and how I resolve?
    Also starting from TOSHIBA site some installation instructions that explain how to do the installation with the appropriate sequence. Also, I would like to know where I can find the chipset driver?

    Hello

    Have you installed the Windows from the original CD of Microsoft?
    Why you suggest that the graphics driver has a malfunction?

    I guess you can not complete the original installation of the Win operating system due to the RAID driver and graphics driver. This unit has been delivered with RAID function and you need to install the RAID driver at the beginning of the installation of the OS.

    In addition there is also an instruction and installation utility chipset on the Toshiba driver page.

    Hello

    You try to perform the factory restore?

    We do not recommend factory restore, because by the factory restore, you will lose all the data present in the computer. Factory restore will restore your computer to factory settings.

    I suggest that disconnect you all external devices except the keyboard and mouse, and then restart the computer. Leave the computer to complete the process and do not touch anything until the process is complete.

    If this does not help, then it would be best to contact Acer to get help.

    Hope the information is useful.

  • I'm trying to complete installation of Windows XP or Vista on my spare computer?

    I have a computer that I built a couple of years and I was going to use as a second computer. It has 4 GB of memory, power 400 watt, no video card, CD/DVD drive and a 250 gig HD.

    I have a full version of Windows XP and a full version of Windows Vista that I had bought years back.

    My problem is that I can't seem to install on the computer or the other. I have connected the HD to my main computer and it showed fine work there, so I formatted it from this computer. Whenever I start with two disks in there, there are files that are supposed to be missing, damaged or it just hangs up. I think it was the drive, but when I try again once it copies these files ok and then something else cannot be copied. A couple of times I did it all the way to put in the product key, only to say something couldn't be copied and I could press ESC to skip this file. There are too many jumps to install.

    I used the Windows Vista installed on my main computer last month, so I know it should work. I'm not an expert computer technician, but I can usually understand the process and sometimes to find a solution to my problem. I do not understand with a full installation disc why is not to copy the files.

    Any help would be appreciated

    Jeff

    I pulled all the connections of the food, with the exception of Mo and reconnected to the HD.  I also tried another DVD drive and then reconnected it.  Everything started to work very well and started Windows Installer without any problems.  Of course, I had problems connecting with DVD player.

    Thanks for the help

  • Installation of Windows 7 OEM

    I hope someone can help me,

    I got an Acer Aspire S3 391 with a defective hard drive, where can I access the recovery partition. I bought a Samsung SSD and replaced without any problems and then installed a copy of windows 7 downloaded from the microsoft Web site.

    The product key on the bottom of the laptop is not valid on this version of windows, and there are a few hardware issues that none of the drivers online seem to be able to fix.

    My question is this: it would be pretty easy to get the acer recovery CD, but because there is no drive cd on the laptop, how do I do to get a new OEM Windows 7 and install it on the new drive?

    Acer can send recovery USB also, media not only DVD or CD.

  • Photosmart c4600 cannot complete installation

    We tried several times to get this printer installed in our laptop and not luck. We have tried all the solutions that are sent to our computer and still no luck, can someone help me with this?

    Hi again,

    Somewhere on your printer must be a number, as C4635, C4640 (C4600 is serial, not a particular model number).  I know that this number may be well hidden sometimes!  When you find it, click on the link below, then click on your model, then choose your operating system.  You should now be on a page that will allow you to download the latest software for complete functionality.  To do this and save the installer to your desktop.

    Uninstall all printer software and disconnect your printer from your PC.  Restart your PC.

    Now, double-click the installer you downloaded to start the installation.  Do not connect the printer until the software asks you to.

    Let me know how you go.

    Thank you for your answer, but otherwise it did not help me, I tried. today at 2 what AM Ive solved with mode safe on Mac (command-S during startup) and just made Photoshop installation begin. When he writes the error again I started Terminal and written on it: sudo chmod 777 (path of the folder in which was problematic file) and press return, you will have to type the password, then type it and press return, then creative cloud app press 'try again' or 'continue' (I have it in CZ lang. (, so I don't know, which is written in English) and that's it! He can write during installation, just another similar error, therefore, with the same proposals, another path and click to continue installation until its done!

    Kind regards!

  • Cannot complete installation of CS6 Master Collection on Mac OSX 10.7.4

    I'm trying to install the trial version of CS6 master suite. But can't do it on my Mac Pro running lion 8 strands 10.7.4.

    Here's the story. I downloaded the installer copied on my mac pro (which is not connected to the internet). I started installation, which crossed the largest part of the installation, but then stalled when he got 99% (installation of InDesign Common Language file I think has what the installer says that it was at the time), it's a 1 min ETA... but alas it stayed like that for about an hour! I was working on other things at the same time on another machine, so I thought I'd let it be and see what happens, but nothing is passed, then... I force quit the installation program. Restarted. I then tried to restart the Setup program. When I chose the suite together installed estimated installation to be only 1.8 GB, so I guess he sees that most of the cases is already here... but when it will the installation process if it fails with the following message:

    FAILED INSTALLATION

    ! your installation has encountered any errors.

    Inconsistency in the database of the installer. Restart your computer and install again. the error summary file can help you identify the problem.

    I tried to reboot and reinstall twice already, with always the same result

    All applications are there on my system, I see them all in the app, but none work, AAM will appear in the dock, bounces a few times and then just stops responding.

    I repaired permissions and disk just before the installation...

    I deleted all my system CS6 and restarted, install less apps this time and exactly the same problem occurred.

    I contacted the support Adobe cat twice already, but they have proved completely useless unfortunately, giving a generic solution that I made, but nothing has changed. create a new account admin, repair permissions, etc.

    Maybe I'm in the island, I'm not the only person who has experienced this problem, and that someone could find a solution to this...
