• Failed to install Win 7 SP1 continues

  After almost a collective 50 hours trying to diagnose and fix the problem myself, I gave up and hope that an Assistant here can help me to solve it.

  I am on Win 7 Starter on an Asus Eee PC and Secunia has begun to remind me that I need to DL SP1. Of course, it's in my list of tasks Windows Update. I had a series of other necessary updates, then tried to DL them all at once. DL is omitted a certain percentage or perpetually hung at 0%. I then cleaned the Software Distribution folder and tried DLing updates again, one at a time. Each worked well, until I came to the SP1 download. He either quickly failed and showed the 80070005 error or got to about 90% and then failed showing the 8024200d error.

  Under the view of the internet, I ran the function of sfc/scannow in cmd (no problem), then the command chkdsk /r /f. He said he would perform the task when you restart, but when I did, I get a black screen and have to wait 30 min - 2 hours before the login screen appears again (and I find that the chkdsk feature had not been executed). I also tried to repair C: after he said contained errors with IObit Disk Doctor but who has suffered the same problem.

  I also downloaded the preparation of updated and MS FixIt tool. Once URT has been downloaded, nothing happened (this is normal) and the latter, while the identification he had a problem with WinUpdate, couldn't solve it.

  The only other relevant points I can make is that I don't seem to have downloaded the update of blackhole, I use the antivirus diligently but have tried to update with this option off (MSE) and often use as Advanced System Care optimization software and Revo Uninstaller (is it a registry problem?)

  Please, please can someone help.

  Yes, you need to reinstall the SATA drivers or you will go to BIOS and set the SATA from AHCI mode to compatible.

  But why you don t use the option of searching this forum?

• Installation win 8 consumer preview x 86 with easy installation - keys

  Workstation using 8 and made the auto update (Nothing pending). I tried to install win 8 consumer preview x 86 via easy install, starting with the model of Windows 7. I have add the well-known activation key, or leave this field blank to enter manually, during the installation, it is stuck in a loop, to complain:

  

  After that, the machine virtual cycles (after some time) and returned to the same dialog box. Above. And more. And more. And more. And more.

  Easy installation for Windows 8 (x 86) is broken?

  > Broken easy installation for Windows 8 (x 86)? There

  Of course it is broken - why do you want this to work?
  Do not install easy use for Windows 8.
  Use 'I'll install later', and then select Windows 7-32 as guestOS.
  When you install the tools create a snapshot first.
  If the complete installation of the tools results in a black screen after reboot - go back to the snapshot and a custom installation of the tools - blow the video driver

  Clean instal Win Vista x 86 HP on new SSD now in SP2. The material is a Medion Q6600 on mother MSI7366 and NVidia GeForce 9300GS map.

  Will not install KB2079403, KB2479943, KB2536275 (fail 0x800B0100) or KB2536275 (not 0x8007065E).  Suggestions how to proceed?

  I tried each individually - how know one gives what error.

  Run Update Readiness Tool and it says everything is OK. You run MS Baseline Security analyze and downloaded packages individual but can not understand the correct syntax to invoke manually by hand using pkgmgr. I'm stuck with a new installation of Vista precarious missing 4 critical fixes :(

  I could go back and start from scratch, but I think I'll finish exactly in the same place again. Have also tried AV scans of bootable CD made on another system of trust and found no evidence of malicious software with three different products.

  Is it possible to get the best diagnosis of update of windows beyond "failed with unknown cryptic error."

  Any ideas what these patches have in common, which causes them to fail on my kit?

  Thank you

  Martin Brown

  Thank you very much! These well made the case.

  I had not had as much as to put on an AV so that it was not to blame. I have no idea why Windows Update had taken against these specific fixes - they work OK on the hard drive.

  They all performed successfully, according to the newspaper.  But I came to be stuck with a 'respect' in the automatic mode of updates for the last KB2536275 tag applied. He thinks that the patch should always be applied (and running it still does not work).

  Correction - it takes the system a heck of a lot of time to notice that the patch is applied and removed from the list (at least 2 reboots and the time it took me to write this letter) to do. Now, everything is good on the SSD and a nice green checkmark shows that there are no outstanding update!

  Thanks again it was exactly what I need.

  BTW How did you find these .msu files? When I went before all I could find were cryptic and opaque. CAB files with names absolutely inpenetrable, my question at the beginning was to know how to apply them as pkgmgr syntax is not really obvious from the help page.

  They are much more user friendly they are autonomous and run after the download.

• Software HP C4380 fails to install on Win 7 64 bit

  My printer HP C4380 scanner no longer works, so I added another printer with scanner to work on my wireless network, but then I couldn't have my C4380 HP to run even if it was by default, so I uninstalled the other printer because I prefer my HP.  After uninstalling the other printer, I couldn't run my HP at all.  I got the message that it was not connected.  I tried electrician.  No luck.  Then, I did scan and printing doctor who told me to uninstall and reinstall the software.  I uninstalled and then to reinstall my HP cd and received message it did not meet the requirements of the system (Win 7 64 bit).  I went online and tried to reinstall the software C4380.  The software seems to be installed, but my printer looks like a rectangular box "unspecified" in the peripheral topic instead of a printer under "printers."  So now I have no printer.  How can I fix this problem?  Thank you.

  Hi EvelynMae,

  Welcome to the HP Forums! I see that your HP Photosmart c4380 software fails to install on Windows 7. I am

  happy to help you with this problem! I have a few questions for you:

  • Can you make copies with the printer?
  • Did the cable feed plugged directly into the wall, or a surge protector? Questions when it is connected to an uninterruptible power supply/Strip/surge protector power.

  In the meantime, I'll try uninstalling the softwareand then re-install again, using the printer HP install wizard for Windows.

  I hope to hear from you and have a great day!

• Win 10 technical preview will expire when the final version comes out?

  Hi all:

  I have Windows 8 Preview double version started with Windows 7 and since missing out on sales of windows 8 $40 student never succeeded in upgrading to the preview version. All works even better than win 7 because my PC has low spec, it stops every 2 hours. I wonder will Win 10 technical preview expires just like the preview of exit 8 victory and stop each time when the final version of win 10 lot. It worries me because win 7 users can now try to win 10 through Win 7 upgrade without messing with ISO images, what happens when a few dozen win final release comes out, they will have to re - install win 7 to avoid interruptions at determined intervals if they choose to not upgrade? What can defeat the purpose of users who do not use the ISO images if they indeed need to clean install for roll to win 10 preview. I know we are told not to install win 10 technical overview on our main PC, but there is always some very smart people (me for example) who are too eager to try new things, but lack the resources to run virtual OS or experiment on an old PC and you end up with something they love but hate at the same time (an overview of release 8 expired win)

  Yes, it will expire. Current previews of 10 Windows such as Windows 10 Technical Preview build 9841, 9860, 9879 all will expire April 15, 2015.

  

  It worries me because win 7 users can now try to win 10 through Win 7 upgrade without messing with ISO images, what happens when a few dozen win final release comes out, they will have to re - install win 7 to avoid interruptions at determined intervals if they choose to not upgrade?

  Microsoft has officially made a tweet made their intention is intended for users who upgrade to the current releases of preview of Windows 10 they want users to be able to upgrade these glimpses into the final version.

  Please note that this is their intention, anything can happen in the final version, so it is always recommended that you do not replace your production facility in Windows 7, 8/8.1, Vista with Windows 10. Please note that Windows 10 is also the recovery partitions unusable if you upgrade, requiring that you use a support of recovery actually reinstall your original Windows copy if you need to return.

  In addition, Microsoft didn't intend to do 10 Windows one product appeal, then you can buy the final version some way somehow.

  What can defeat the purpose of users who do not use the ISO images if they indeed need to clean install for roll to win 10 preview.

• How to restore partition factory settings after installing Win 7 Professional and after having lost everything as a result.

  I have a netbook with a partition that has win7 starter installed.  I unfortunately poorly installed windows 7 Professional and now have nothing available which was originally on the computer.  Everything was wiped clean including my ability to use / access my wireless, ethernet controller, pci, etc..  I tried repeatedly to recover the partition back to factory settings, but it won't give me the option to select the partition.  I guess that's because they are all two Windows 7.  Can you help me get it back to windows 7 edition starter of the partition so I can restore all the factory settings and programs.  I haven't lost any information or files that I loaded win7professtional as soon as I turned it on.  I have restore points, images, etc.

  When I installed Win 7 Professional, not old Info windows.old file but I don't know how to access that is.

  Help, please?  Thank you

  The Windows.old folder has two objectives:
  (1) can be used to uninstall Windows 7 and return your PC to the previous version of Windows.
  (2) contains a backup of all your files of data, documents, photos, Etc. from the previous version of Windows.

  If you don't need either of these two options can delete the Windows.old folder. In your case if you can access the "recovery Partition" to restore the windows and then back the Windows.old folder before you begin.

  Note: Option to change Windows Explorer to see the Windows.old folder:
  Click on start and enter in the box "Search": "hidden" (without the quotes)
  Click on the "Show the hidden files and folders" option at the top of the list.
  In the "Folder Options" window
  Click the 'view' if it is not already selected.
  In the list "Advanced settings" locate "hidden files and folders".
  Now click 'show files and folders '.
  Then, disable the following:
  "Hide empty drives in the computer folder.
  "Hide the extensions of the file types that you want to know."
  "Hide protected operating system files"

• Is it possible to install WIN 7 32 bit on Qosmio X 500 - 167

  Hello

  is it possible to install WIN 7 32 bit on a Qosmio X 500 167
  Where can I get the drivers?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Of course you can install Windows 7 on this laptop why not?

  Even if Win 7 32-bit drivers are not released on the European driver Toshiba page, you could install this OS.

  Most devices use the same drivers. For example, you can check out 32-bit drivers for X 300 series.

• Trying to install win xp pro on the Satellite A200 - TH1 (PSAE3C)

  Hi all
  I just bought this laptop. It came with vista. I want to install xp pro on it, I mean keep vista as well. So I made the partition and assigned 72 GB for xp pro. Now the problem is that xp pro install cd does not recognize the hard drive. It says no hard drive present.

  It is a SATA drive. So I did some searching on Google on it and found that xp pro doesn't have SATA drivers and this is why you may not see the hard drive. I need to install the SATA drivers with xp pro by pressing F6... and blah blah. Given that this laptop didn't come with the disk, then I found on some forums to include drivers with xp pro cd and make an iso image and try to run it.

  I tried several times but each time it gives me error this cable is broken. Is someone can pls let me know what is the problem? And also if anyone can guide me to get the right drivers for my SATA drive and intel 965 PM chipset... If I go the Intel Web site.

  They are all. EXE files. I want the driver files only, so I can insert them into the xp cd. Thanks for your help and guidance adavance.

• Can I install Win XP on a Satellite A350 & where to find the drivers?

  Hello!

  I just bought a Satellite A350 and the Adobe Master Collection does not correctly install on Windows Vista, I would like to install Windows XP on the laptop.
  Allas, the drivers on this site for the A350 are only for Vista? Can not I install XP on it at all, and if I can, where can I find the necessary drivers?

  Thanks for the help!

  Gascoigne

  Of course, you can install Win XP on this laptop.
  But for Win XP is not available for this series of laptop and in this case, you will need to search the drivers of your own hands.

  Many laptop series uses the same devices and so the drivers should work also.
  I would recommend some other series laptop like Satellite A300 or another and try the XP drivers released for these models.

  The problem: windows fails when starting a new drive.

  Booted from the USB and the recovery application to install Win on the SSD.
  At the start of the SSD, I get the error
