During the installation of Windows 7 Ultimate, get error, "the installation program could not use the existing system partition because it does not contain the need free space."

When installing win7 ultimate, {install} error message indicates "Setup could not use the existing system partition because it does not contain the free space required... I have 500 GB free, ram 4 GB 2.4 ghz quad... any help?"

If you have any external storage devices such as external hard drive or thumb drive, unplug them, they might interfere with installation.

    Remove the data cable of all drives except the drive that you want to install Windows 7 on.

    Remove all external devices.

    Delete all partitions on the disk leave all of the disc as "unallocated".

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD and then install, when you reach the point where it asks you to select a drive, click the "Advanced" option and create a new partition (at least 50 GB) to install Windows and continue with the installation process.

    I know that the volume control does not work, and that the windows sounds are not listed, if you try to change the sounds on the system. As the noise of opening and closing session. The drive installed on a different hard disk on the same computer without error, it should not be dirty or damaged. If anyone can help with this please?

    To the file copy stage of the registry would be game.  It could be a permissions issue, you could mount the drive in a different Windows NT installation type and set the permissions.

    Hi Lawren,

    Thank you for your update on the issue.

    In this case, you may need to format the entire disk, clean the partitions and reinstall new windows as suggested before. However, I suggest you to contact local support for the backup of your data from hard disk partitions.

    Please post back your results for assistance.

  • M1536dnf - the installation program could not connect to your device. Check the IP address

    I recently bought a LserJet Pro M1536dnf for my business, then we would have network printing and scanning. We have both Mac and Linux PC with a single machine Windows solitaire which is kept away from the network for his own protection, and I expect from Linux but this is not where the problem is. Due to our network configuration, the only way to connect to the printer is by IP, not not using Hello. When installing using the installer of HP on the Mac, I choose 'Add intellectual property arrangements', enter the IP (192.168.1.247) and click OK. After that, he always comes back 'the installer could not connect to your device. Check the IP address, make sure that the device is powered, and then try again. "I know I can get to the printer because I can access its web interface in Safari. I tried to reset, update firmware, reboots, power-off/power-on different computers, nothing works.

    Curiously, I could add the printer very well on Ubuntu Linux computers and print immediately, although the scanner still doesn't work here. So my problem is on the Mac.

    OK, I have now works. The HP installation program provided on the CD-ROM supplied with the printer does not work. After you download the new version of support.hp.com, I could successfully add the printer by IP address.

    Also, just a quick note to all the world using Linux (although it is not officially supported by HP):

    The printer works fine, using HPLIP, but requires at least version 3.11.1 to work. I had to add an additional to my linux installations software source to make it work.

    Under Ubuntu 10.04/10.10, add:

    PPA:hplip - isv/ppa

    Other Linux distributions will be different, if you are having problems check to see how to install the latest version of HPLIP software.

  • Can't install Itunes, get an error that the Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode"

    OP: Install problems Windows

    I tried to install iTunes, but he said that "the Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode or if Windows Installer is not installed properly. Call support personnel. "They gave me similar messages by other programs I've tried to install as well.

    Because I was not running Windows in safe mode in time, I assumed that the installer was not installed correctly. So I tried to download from here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?familyid=5A58B56F-60B6-4412-95B9-54D056D6F9F4&displaylang=en

    But then I got error messages like "this update does not apply to your system" and "not enough memory is available to process this command." I tried all the links and none of them worked for me. I'm running a Vista Home Premium 64 bit, and I 2.38 GB of available RAM, so I don't think that the lack of memory is the problem here. What should I do?

    1.] I had a previous version of iTunes, but I got rid of it with Revo Uninstaller.

    I was looking around and I found this: http://www.vistax64.com/vista-installation-setup/96680-repair-windows-installer-service-vista-all-versions-2.html

    I followed the direction of the last message (by F'n Vista) and changed the value of WOW64 Registry and now iTunes has installed perfectly and works now. I'll try to install other programs that I got hurt with previously. Thank you very much for your help! :)
