Hi, Mary

I'm using the Enterprise version that it froze during installation, so I waited around 9-10 Minutes still nothing
so I started keys at random because I was waiting for a long time then restarted my PC and now I can't start my pc.

>:-( >:-( >:-( >:-(

Boot from the Windows 8 DVD or USB media that you created
Click Install now
Accept the license agreement
When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 8 click Next.

You will receive the following warning:

The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

(At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

I've restored my computer several times and never had this problem.

    You should try another recovery.

    New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.

    While trying to reinstall Windows 7 on my Dell Inspiron 1545 of the reinstall DVD after you have installed a hard drive again, I got this message: error message "the computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error" after starting the system on Windows 7 Recovery. Tried F10, SHIFT F10 and nothing happened. Then I tried a suggestion of virtual Agent to press F8 to get to advance Boot Options, but this option does not appear! Help!

    For Dell cptrs, you will need to press F12 to access the unique Boot Order Menu(= a temporary setting), little after the Dell logo appears on the desktop. U hv only 5 seconds to do, b4 the cptr will automatically initialize to top with the internal HARD disk.

    ....... F12 is usually used to start the cptr since the DVD player or a plugged in USB-flash drive with a Win 7 install or recovery media.

    To permanently change the boot order, you must similarly press F2 to access the full Boot configuration Menu. The default boot device is the internal HARD drive, but this can be changed to DVD player, USB, disk, network drive, etc. F2 is usually used to start the cptr of an external hard drive(= USB HDD) that contains a bootable Linux operating system.

    I have this error message and called technical support from microsoft, we have tried to reinstall Vista again once I had tried three times with the same error message. It would freeze to "complete installation." even let him all night to see if he needed more time to complete on its own, but nothing helps...

    the technician told me I have a hardware problem, but when I installed XP on it everything works correctly.

    It's a new pc and a clean install of Home premium. I re-post this question since yesterday

    Hi evan9074,

    So was the question then? You can run the Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor to see if there are compatibility issues that you have with hardware or software that would prevent an upgrade to Windows Vista.

    I hope this helps.

  • Satellite P300 - 18 M - Windows Setup cannot continue

    Hi, my first post here, hoping for any help.

    I recently bought a Satellite P300 - 18 M, from an independent retailer with no return policy. good on the PC is a brand new, sealed, etc and I get the Toshiba standard warranty.
    When I do the initial installation I received a message all in settng upward of Windows Vista Home "the computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error." Windows Setup cannot continue. To install windows click on 'OK' to restart the computer announced then rstart installation. »
    I tried a few times more full-time catering and the third HARD drive it installed, but...
    either he starts, I get to the password screen then all invent locks, the mouse pointer freezes then the screen becomes full of horizontal lines.

    or

    I've had a few times in windows for a few minutes (2-5 minutes) then the mouse pointer freezes, 3 seconds later the entire screen is full of horizontal lines, everything locked can only turn off the coast.
    Toshiba software error, so no warranty claim and advised that I buy the DVD (£29.90) that I ordered it, on a delivery of 14 days of recovery.

    Any other help or suggestions much appreciated as im not confident of this DVD, being a brand new sealed unit, why corript of Vista in the first place.

    Thanks in advance

    Andy

    Hello

    In my view, that the P300 is equipped with the ability to drive HARD recovery. This means that you could restore the operating system of the image that is stored on the HARD drive.
    To do this, you will need to power the laptop and must press the F8 key.

    A start menu should appear, then you should choose the first option called fix my computer.
    Then, you must choose the option called Toshiba HDD recover or something like that. It should be the last option.
    This procedure helps you reinstall Vista again.
    This facility could be that you can burn the own recovery disk using the preinstalled software called Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.

    But if the recovery of HARD drive does not work you will need to use your orderly recovery DVDs and have to restore it again.
    If the laptop will not properly work after using Recovery then DVDs I recommend to contact the ASP again and to explain the whole story.

    Good luck

    I'm trying to install windows 7 64 on a 32-bit with the custom installation option. All is well until that right at the end of the installation it gives me this error "Windows Setup cannot continue because a required driver could not be installed. I tried this several times but the same results. I used the windows Upgrade Advisor to see if my computer is compatible and it is no problem.

    Restore the previous installation of Windows and do the following:
    1 disable any security software before you attempt to upgrade or do a clean install.
    2. make sure that your computer is updated (devices and applications)
    3. disconnect all external devices before installing.
    4. check your hard disk for errors:
    Click Start
    Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD
    Click on "Run as Administrator"
    At the command prompt, type: chkdsk /r
    When you restart your system, your computer will be scanned for errors and will try to correct them.

    New Epson Scanner GT - S50 Epson scan, set up driver will not install. keeps giving me "is an error occurred when installing re start the computer, and then try again" works fine on another pc with windows 7, but not from Dell. Tried to download from the website and cd. all other software is loading fine. Epson technical support cannot fix. Help!

    I finally had my Epson GT - S50 working. I have a contract with support iYogi.They tech were recommended by Dell.  It took them more than 12 hours to solve this problem. They had to do a full factory reset. I have had all my drives. The alleged problem with mine was HP. I have a hp all-in-one. It damaged my windows files. On re install, I had to install Epson scan first, this hp. I would not buy an epson again. The product works well now but still double flow a lot and is very picky. When it works well, it really accelerates my work verse scan with the Hp all-in-one. I'm really happy that I have a scanner, but wouldn't recommend an Epson.  I highly recommend I have Yogi tech support. They are worth every penny.
