• Install Windows 8 on external drive Thunderbolt - Windows could not prepare the computer to begin the next phase of installation

  Hi all

  I'm at my wit's end trying to install windows 8. Let me start at the beginning: I used to have windows running on my Mac Pro ssd internal 8.1, installed via bootcamp. It worked well for a while, and then refused to start, gives me a blue screen KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE. Despite some advice from lonely T, I was unable to fix and ended up wiping the partition and relocation, again via bootcamp. Yet once again, it worked for a few months, then the same problem. I made this one last time, and it only lasted 2 days... So I gave bootcamp.

  I think that the hybrid MBR partition scheme that implements bootcamp is the culprit, but I don't really have evidence to substantiate this claim. In any case, I tried to install windows in EFI mode. (If I understand correctly, the hybrid MBR is set up to allow windows to install in legacy BIOS mode, but that windows 8 may now install efi, which supports my Mac Pro mode.) My Mac is the new Mac Pro (end of 2013, trash in shape), and I can say short UEFI 2.0 (I have the latest efi update from apple installed).

  The method I'm trying:

  1. create a new partition in HFS + on my external drive using disk utility. The drive has now it's efi partition and partition empty 750Go I want to install windows a 1.25 TB storage partition that I use with my mac. It has a GPT. I formatted HFS + and no FAT, because I think that disk utility creates the same hybrid-MBR as training camp every time a FAT partition is created.

  2. use gdisk to confirm that the disc does not have a hybrid-MBR. (sudo/dev/disk1 gdisk watch MBR: protection)

  3 restart my mac and hold the possibility to put in place to bring up the boot efi menu.

  4. Select the EFI_Boot DVD icon (that's the windows 8 install dvd that I have in my superdrive USB drive)

  5. go in the menus of the disk selection screen installation and delete the partition in HFS +, I created to install windows on (the format option is not available)

  6. now select "Unallocated space" on the good drive and click Next.

  The problem:

  Partitioning seems to go ok (there is no feedback on this basis, but it proceeds to the next screen, and all new partitions expected are there if I check diskutil list later). He said it is "copy of windows files", but then stops with the error "Windows has no prepare the computer to start the next phase of the installation." To install Windows, restart the installation. "If I restart, I can start the same process all over again and get the same result.

  The Question:

  How I get this error and get windows install?

  Extra pieces:

  • The first time it happened I assumed it was the new sip / thing "without roots" in El Capitan, causing problems, then I disabled, but I still get the same error.
  • After reviewing the diskutil list output after one of installs it without success, I found that a labeled EFI partition has been created after my storage partition (the original efi partition was still there in the upper part of the disc).
  • I have windows 8.1 installed now bootcamp on my internal ssd. It was planned to use it and winToUSB to put windows on my crush, but I found that it only works with usb2. I do not have installed could cause problems with the installation on another disk.
  • Before say you I can't run windows on an external, yes you can, and many people have. I read windows sees thunderbolt internal disks.
  • I read a few other posts on this and other sites on this problem, but could not find a pertitnant solution to my situation. I found one that suggested to remove the efi on my disk partition, but that seemed like a bad idea, so I didn't try.
  • I write this at 1 in the morning after a day spent in front of the computer trying to get this working, so please excuse typos typing or other. I am pleased to provide you with any pertinant information helping you will help me.
  • Thank you!

  The other thing I tried also almost succeeded:

  Although I prefer to get the method above works, because it seems the most promising, is something else, I've tried that I thought worth mentioning. If you offer advice pertaining to this method rather than the above, I would appreciate it if you could explicitly declare that at the top of your answer. Thank you.
  

  I tried to install windows on the physical disk using vmware and virtual box. The instrutctions I followed for this can be found here: http://www.andrewsavory.com/blog/2011/2156 (the only thing different, it's because it's on an external drive, I created the Fat 32 partition manually using disk utility). The first time (using vmware) installation seems to go off without a hitch, but I couldn't get my computer to see the windows partition as bootable with the boot efi menu hold-option regular refined or with system preferences-> startup disk. I think that I was using always inadvertently a hybrid-MBR at this stage. I tried to repeat this new beginning with the first two steps above to avoid the hybrid-MBR. But now when I try to create the virtual machine based on the gross vmdk, it starts to copy the files then says not sufficient permissions and fails. I don't know if it's a permission with the disk or the hard problem. I tried chmod 777 and chown $USER of the vmdk disk (/ dev/disk1s3) does not.

  Wow, that was a long post...

  1. when a second drive is detected by the Windows Setup program, he wants to create his own brand of EFI (104 MB) and not to mess with the Mac EFI (200 MB). You can force it to use the EFI to the Mac using Diskpart commands.

  2 instead of HFS/FAT32, create a piece of 750 GB free space and it should only get a new MSR/MSD, without the part of EFI.

  3. on your VM method, the link you have is quite old. You have a MP 2013, with references to the 2010 Mac alumni and is a bit too archaic to be useful. http://forums.macrumors.com/threads/install-a-Windows-7-partition-on-Mac-OSX-Wit hout-optical-car-or - usb.1836959 / #post... seems to work for many and can be useful for a test. It also uses Winclone.

• LR6 cannot prepare the Image file to use w / plugins or other publishers

  After having transferred my files DNG image LR6 on the drive internal of my Mac on an external hard drive, I am unable to use plug-ins or other image editors, like NIK plug ins or publishers of PS or affinity I used before. I did not move the image files using the operating system but don't have in LR drag - move my photos from my internal HD file to a new pictures folder configured in an HD external, made it in the Panel LR folders on the left side of the screen of the library. Now, when I try to use any plug in NIK or another editor, I get the following message appears:

  "Lightroom could not prepare the file selected to Volumes/G-DRIVE/JTO LR6 Photos/2016/2016-01-03/1601_untitled_570.DNG for editing. It will not open. "The same message for image files I select for use in my plug ins or other publishers.

  After that I moved the files to the new drive, in the library toolbar I also clicked on the options to find all records of missing persons and to validate DNG files. All him remains checked & seems to work as it should.  I also determined that I have on the new external drive write permissions by reviewing it in the window read the information.  Adobe LR online support also suggested remove my files of preference LR that slowed now on LR.  Can someone figure this or help me do?

  I'm not certain how or when I had actually these problems solved, but after reset files preferably twice & install the upgrade to LR6.6 & Optimizing my catalog & restarting the Mac after each of these actions, I am now able to use the function "change in" in the toolbar pictures to access all of my NIK plug ins & my external editors (Photoshop CS5 & affinity Photo). In the middle of all this that I started also encounter behavior very slow & erratic LR, as well as the inability to recognize & load images of my folders in the library, which forced me force leave once.  If at this point, I'll just keep my fingers crossed & exploit!

• Time Machine - there was an error preparing the Time Machine backup drive (could not mount the drive)

  I have a new HD but cannot set up encryption with system preferences. After ten minutes, I get the following error message:

  "There was an error preparing the Time Machine backup disk (disc name) - could not mount drive"

  Apparently, I need to set up the HD in this way:

  • If you are using an external drive connected to your Mac, use disk utility to make sure that your backup disk is formatted in HFS + extended (journaled) and is the partition type GUID Partition Table (GPT)

  It is not an option for the HFS + and so I used; OS x EXTENDED (journaled). GUID is ok.

  Can someone let me know what I need to do.

  Thank you

  Formatting: GUID Partition Table, OS X Extended (journaled).    (it is HFS +)

  For TimeMachine at best to a partition only.

  Do it again if necessary, then disconnect, reconnect, Start Time Machine preferences and "select disk".

• HP ENVY TS m6 Sleekbook: HP ENVY TS m6 Sleekbook will prepare the auto repair when booting with Seagate Backup Plus 2 to

  I had problems for some time with my HP ENVY when you restart.   I have a backup Seagate more Desktop 2 TB connected via a USB hub.    When it is connected and restarting the computer, it goes to the screen to "prepare the AutoFix.   So I have to unplug and restart and that's fine.     I don't know why it continues to be.   I checked my BIOS and it should boot from the hard drive first.     Any ideas?

  @mikejenkins1,

  Hello and thanks for the display on the HP support forums.  Using a USB hub, you get a signal from one of the disks is trying to make a repair due to a possible disconnection during a writing session.  You will need to do is a test on the external drives to see if one of them has problems.  Try to make a direct connect with each drive connected by tonight and see if they are the problem on their own.

  If one of them is causing the problem, try and use the test drive of windows.  Here is a link to help you with that.

  Check a drive for errors

  Please let me know how things are going.

  Thanks again for posting and have a great day.

• Laptop stuck on the screen to "prepare the AutoFix.

  My laptop HP a few months came pre-installed with windows 8. When I tried to start it this morning it came with the screen to "Prepare the automatic repair" and is pasted on it. It is not off or change to a different screen as "scan your computer. I'm sure that it does not start in safe mode by pressing f8 or shift + f8, Ive tried several times. I don't know what to do because it's just stuck on the same screen "prepare auto repair.

  This is not a good thing. The long test. Post the results here.

  The result of the test is indicative of a hard disk failure requiring the replacement of the hard disk.

  Contact HP for a replacement under warranty hard drive. You will need the failure status code providing for the drive test hard when you contact HP.

  It's time to find your set of recovery disks. You will need to install the operating system and the software that came with your laptop.

• WS 2012 and NAS backup failed to prepare the backup image

  Hello

  I'm trying to back up some of my data to Windows server 2012. I am using LG - 250GL Buffalo NAS.

  I use the scheduled backup option, but it is unable to prepare the backup image, error code is "0x807800C5", event id 517."

  However, if I rename my folder name, and then it creates the folder and with successful backup my data, only problem is that it is said version is not compatible. Once again, if I change the name of the folder, it's OK, but I can't do that everyday manually, everything save automatically at certain time.

  I tried to find a solution, but nothing works.

  Maybe my NAS is a bit too old and is not compatible with the version of 2012.

  What are my options? Should I buy new SIN or is it fixable somehow?

  This issue is beyond the scope of this site (for consumers) and to be sure, you get the best (and fastest) reply, we have to ask either on Technet (for IT Pro) or MSDN (for developers)

  Edit:

  I know that maybe it's a little late to come and see this post was several months ago, but I had the same problem.

  I ended up turning off the machine and opening printer and check the ink cartridges (I had seen just to find the part number for a new cartridge).  I found that the blue cover which snaps into place on the ink cartridges was broken not closed completely.  This has caused the printer constantly tries to go into maintenance mode, but it could never align cartridges.  She also told me that there is a paper jam, even when there is no paper in the machine.  I even let the maintenance run all night without success.

  Once the cartridges have been broken in place and the blue cover has been fully guaranteed, the printer worked.

• TV connected via the VGA input to HDMI don't get no signal after preparing the Windows message, works fine in safe mode

  Original title: PC to tv connection / VGA to HDMI

  Hello
  I hope someone out there can help. I recently bought a new samsung TV after that my old one failed. My new TV doesn't have a RGB port to connect a VGA cable to so I can use my PC as my old one done, it has HDMI and my PC only output VGA. I bought a VGA Converter HDMI to maplin and when I start my PC the image appears on my TV because it goes through its startup upward. It displays windows prepares, but then the Windows point would open normally, the signal on my TV dies and it does is display the message no signal on the screen. If I start thr PC in safe mode, windows starts very well and the signal does not go down. I use windows 7. Someone knows how to fix?
  Thank you

  It is possible that your computer is trying to send a resolution & frequency to which the TV cannot manage.  I suspect that this is because the image is displayed when starting, but then disappears when Windows takes control - until Windows takes over, the resolution sent will be below.

  You should consult the manual of the TV to its specifications.  Mine, for example, just a a simple table of resolutions & combinations of vertical frequency it can handle.  Then look at the Control Panel, display, change display settings to see what your computer can produce and choose one that fits these two machines.  If the best resolution display settings don't work then go to the next best resolution [or in the setting of 640 x 480 to see which works best].

  Once configured, Windows will display the setting chosen at the television screen every time so you will not have to keep setting up for each session.

  Each time that you connect the TV you can use the Windows key + P key combination to toggle the display.

  I don't know if you want the TV an extended desktop or a single view.  You might find, as I did, that the TV can use a higher resolution output if it is the only view.  I suspect that this is a result of capacity of the computer's display adapter because it has less work to do if there is only one required both display.

  Once you put in place, you may find that control panel display settings, display, change, advanced has useful additional parameters, but you'd probably need to have a good guide to help with your graphics card make any sense of the options available.

  If that is not enough then I suggest that you try to find an online forum for your TV, hoping that someone has done what you are trying to do.

  Good luck

• prepare the config for the model/tool switches

  Guys,

  I'm trying to find out if there is a tool to prepare config Cisco routers/switches. I'm looking to prepare the basic config with some VLANS, static IP, etc. of the AAA. Should I use GNS3 as Simulator to simulate a router and configure it to serve as a model or if there is another free light weight tool where I can test config for typo errors or something.

  Thanks in advance!

  If you have existing switches just the running-config and get some simple editor like Notepad and change the IP addresses and other things

  Add No. SHUTDOWN on the interfaces, because by default they are not upward, and when you do a show running-config it does not appear as no. SHUTDOWN.

• Cannot install Windows 7 "Windows didn't prepare the computer to start the next phase of the installation." to install Windows, restart the application.

  Original title: Installation of Windows 7.

  I tried to install Windows 7 (clean install from XP and reveived the following message is displayed:)

  Windows didn't prepare the computer to start the next phase of the installation.  to install Windows, restart the application.

  I restarted my PC, anti anti-virus disabled (as advised) and still get the error message.

  According to the Upgrade Advisor Windows 7 my PC is compatible.

  Any ideas?

  If you have compatible hardware and your computer still stops responding, disable any unnecessary material. Remove (USB) universal serial bus devices. Remove or disable network cards, sound cards and cards of the series; and then restart the installation.

  Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
  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 7 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.
