How can I fix Setup error "something happened"?

I bought a DVD of Win8 copy.  Whenever I try to install, I get the very informative error message "something happened" and I can't continue.  It seems that a lot of people have similar problems.  I have tried all the proposed analyses, disabled all services package, stopped startup programs, unplug all devices, etc., and nothing works.  The compatibility checker works very well.  I inspected the Setup logs and it seems that Win8 struggled to determine the amount of disk space is available.  It is the content of the setuperr.log:

2012-10-30 19:11:35, ConX::Compatibility:CSystemAbstraction:GetDiskFreeSpaceW CONX error: impossible to retrieve the disk space for k. [gle = 0x0000001f] info
2012-10-30 19:11:35, error CONX CFreeSystemPartitionDiskSpaceChecker failed. Unable to determine the free disk space on the system partition. . HRESULT = 0x8007001f [gle = 0x0000001f]
2012-10-30 19:11:35, error CONX ConX::Compatibility:CCompatibilityHost:SetScanResult: Compat scan of wsc:setup provider: failed. HRESULT = 0X8007001F
2012 10-30 19:11:37, CONX error, an error has occurred during the audit system requirements. HRESULT = 0X8007001F.

How to spend it?

I'm running a machine customized with 8 GB of memory, an AMD Phenom II x 6 processor and 2 TB of disk in a dual-boot with Windows 7 and Linux configuration.  I try to start the installation of Windows 7.  The Windows partition is about 300 GB with more than 180 GB free.

Encountered the same problem. Go to disk management, found that this small partition (red) was active by default. So I right click on my OS partition (yellow), select it as active. Win installation 8.1 went smoothly after.

  • How can I fix the error 0xe7210001 that an internal error has occurred

    For the last month, I have an error message with "0xe7210001 an internal error has occurred" and it seems to be related to the fingerprint softward pre-installed on my Sony laptop. The error when I open the files. For example, I opened a folder and open 2 boxes of error. However, don't get the error box everytime I open a folder. I first thought that the error box opened only when I got my laptop connected to the network at work. But now the error boxes happen when I work from home, too. I've never used the software of fingerprint. Has anyone encountered this error? How can I fix the error so that the error?

    What is the model of computer? Why don't u try to install the driver of fingerprints once?

  • How can I fix the error SSL 61 (Linux OS)

    Whenever I try to connect to my customer's internal Web site light Linux OS I get the error SSL 61. Firefox is the only browser on the workstation. There is no connection problems of Non-Linux systems on any browser, including Firefox.

    Below error:
    SSL error
    Contact your Helpdesk with the following information:
    You chose not to approve "Go Daddy Secure
    Authority - G2 of certification', the issuer of the server
    security certificate (SSL 61 error).

    How can I fix this error? I tried to install the cert manually at the client.

    COR - el: this does not resolve the question for SHA1 certs.

    I added the certificate to the Citrix DB. I finally found the problem after researching on Citrix forums and other various sites.

    This question is the cert itself, we bought a cert and use SHA2, however the Citrix Receiver of Linux does not support at this stage the SHA2.

    So either the only resolution retype the cert to use SHA1 or wait for an update from Citrix.

    Thank you both for your time.

    a. click Start > run.

    b. type regedit and press ENTER.

    c. navigate to the following location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DirectX

    d. click on DirectX, then select Remove.

    e. restart the computer.

    (f) download and install the latest version of DirectX.

    Method 2: Clean the disc

    Clean the CD or the DVD. To do this, use a disc cleaning kit. Or gently wipe the silver side of the disc with a soft and Lint cotton cloth. Do not use cloth of paper which can scratch the plastic and leave streaks. When you clean the disc, wipe from the center of the disc outward. Do not use a circular motion. If the problem persists, clean the disc with a damp cloth or a commercial CD or DVD cleaning solution. Dry the disc thoroughly until you insert the disc in the drive.

    Select a slower recording speed and check if that helps.

    1. in the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the devices tab.
    2. in devices, double-click the CD burner, and then click the recording tab.

    Hello, I do not know anythingon fixing of my computer when I have problems. I looked at all the research sites and assistance, and none of them helped me with these problems and im getting ready to launch her aspire one mini laptop computer. im running xp and I bought it used and it has done this from day one. 2 weeks ago, that I got it. Please can you help me.

    How can I fix excerpt: error writing to the file C:docume~1\user\local~1\temp\nsvc.tmp\conduit-left.bmp

    and im having problems with my connection remaining on the port wireless what do I do, I can solve this problem too because I cannot even be in line for more then 5 minutes with the duty to stop and start over or repair the connection.

    For the first question, try to go to start | Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Disk Cleanup and that should clear of junk.  Then click Start | Run and type msconfig and disable the startup items, that you don't need, as many programs decide that they must run at startup and clutter the machine when they do not need to.  Also perform a defragmentation of the disk (under system tools also).  See if that helps with performance and other issues.
