Installation process of Windows XP freezes - Tecra A9

I have problems with reinstalling Windows XP from CD.
The installation process freezes right after that "the installation program expects your hardware configuration of the computer. Nothing is displayed.
I can reboot with Ctrl-Alt-Delete. Is this a driver problem?

I prepare Win XP boot CD with Toshiba SATA drivers.

Help very much appreciated.

Kind regards
Vlade

Hello!

What computer Toshiba laptop do you have?
Have you tried the recovery disk?

Normally it should not be a problem of SATA drivers but can test without him but that's why you must set the SATA mode in the compatible BIOS.

It could also be a faulty RAM or HARD drive. Test it with Memtest86 and Drive Fitness Test.

Good bye

  • Repartitioning my hard disk in the installation process of Windows 8?

    I'm about to upgrade my Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 8 Pro. However, I want to expand my C drive by allocating more storage space for it. Can I do the distribution during the installation procedure? How?

    Its best you re-partition the drive now using Easeus:

    So, the first thing you need to do is to download Easeus at the following link

    EASEUS Partition Master Home Edition - http://download.cnet.com/Easeus-Partition-Manager-Home-Edition/3000-2248_4-10863346.html

    ------------------------

    Proceed with the installation of Easeus:

    Click Next, follow the easy on-screen instructions.

    Once the installation is finished, click on finish

    Click go to the main screen

    Select the drive you want to resize in partition window

    Drag the button until you have an amount of disk space you need, then release desired.

    Click on apply to apply the changes that you just made.

    Click Yes

    Click Yes

    Your computer will restart several times and changes will be made to the layout of the partition, this process is hands-free, so no interaction is required.

  • Installation of Java program gives an "access denied" message during the installation process on Windows 7

    Tried to do just the update for Java Update 7-67 on my existing Java at first when I received this message, then uninstalled, hoping that would help, but now can't install at all.  Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

    This seems to be a very rare problem because it's the only mention of it that I could find on the site to Support MS & no mention on the website of Oracle or anywhere else. This and the fact that you have to go back to a restore point to fix gives me to think that it is an interaction with another thing that has been installed on the same PC. What AV software do you use? Did you install anything else since the restore point?

  • Windows xp freezes for a long time during the installation of Windows Update.

    Original title: xp freeze during an update... what to do

    I turned on my computer for the first time in 10 days. When stop he went in update mode (21 updates) and was 19, since yesterday evening around 20:00 is this normal and if not what is my next step since he says do not close during an update?

    Hi MarcyDowning,

    If the update is blocked for hours, then you can try to restart the computer and check if it starts in normal mode.

    If not, then try to start in safe mode and try to perform a system restore:

    Step 1:

    You can check the article to start in safe mode:

    A description of the options to start in Windows XP Mode

    Step 2:

    If you are able to boot into safe mode, and then try to perform a system restore and check if you are able to boot into normal mode:

    How to restore Windows XP to a previous state

    Note: When safe mode system restore, system restore points are deleted.

    Once you are able to boot into normal mode, you can try to install the updates in batches containing updates 4 or 5 at a time and check if it helps.

    I'm on ubuntu 9.04 and I do not so I wanted to install windows 7 on it, but after clicking on install on Windows 7, the installation of a temporary file stops after 10 seconds with an error message:

    You will need to repartition your hard disk, so that Windows does not recognize the file system that Ubuntu Linux uses by default (which is ext3). You can do within Ubuntu Linux using several different tools, or if you are more interested in the use of Ubuntu Linux you can repartition the disk in the installation of Windows.

    PLEASE NOTE: The following allows you to delete all the data contained on your hard drive. I can't be held responsible for any data loss that may be incurred. Please make sure that you back up your data before you run the following commands. Use at your own risk.

    Repartition the drive by using the Windows installation:

    1. Insert the Windows 7 installation in your DVD Player DVD.
    2. restart your computer and boot from the DVD drive when asked ("press any key to boot from the CD or DVD... »)
    3 Windows Setup will load, give him a few moments.

  • My guest user account has stopped working after the installation of several windows and IE9 updates.

    I recently installed several windows and IE9 updates. During the install IE9 I stopped the installation process, because it seemed that I had two IE9 installs go. I ended up cancelling the installation so IE9 has not installed. I tried to install IE9 again and this time I can't stop installation, and it has been successful. I checked the other user profiles to make sure that everything has been installed, and that's when I noticed that my guest account wasn't just all users accounts were working well.

    Whenever I try to open a program, for example: Internet explore, any Office program and even the calculator another window opens asking me to manually locate the file I'm looking for. I am able to locate the file and open it, but as soon as I close I can't reopen unless I have to manually search for the file. There is a checkbox indicating that it automatically uses this file with the program but I can't check the box (its in a light gray that I can't click on) and I don't want to manually search the file everytime I open a program. I tried using a restore point before updates, but which did not set can guest account everyone please help?

    [1] I need to correct me by declaring that the Mcafee subscription is 18 months and its due for renewal in June, then yes its still the preinstalled version.

    [2] will certainly be your advice on that. Should what drivers I roll back?

    [3] I thought to go on this forum first, but I chose it because the error occurred while I was updating, but I'll post my question it too

    A1A. Ah! The application is named McAfee Security Center by chance?

    A1B. Do you plan to purchase a subscription for this or any other McAfee application (which you would need to do so BEFORE the expiry of 18 months 'advance')?

    A2. In re the restore drivers, you restore the drivers that you have installed via Windows Update. that is, Intel G45/G43 Express Chipset (graphics driver or screen) and Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller (NIC driver). Again, this is a long shot.

    A3. Please do that start new thread immediately.

  • Put HP1012 in place. The installation process does not recognize the printer.

    I've made sure the device is on and the usb cable is connected.  Printer worked fine until I needed to reinstall the windows xp operating system.  Now reinstall the printer set up the software does not recognize the printer.  Before reinstalling the operating system, the printer worked great even if it is quite old.  I use the original CD game in the installation process.

    Problem solved.  I plugged the printer into different usb port cable and the computer immediately recognized the printer.  Previously, I had ports different usb, but not the one where he worked.  I have 7 usb ports on this computer, and it seems that one does not work.

  • IM using XP and it keeps running a shutdown of the system initiated by authority NT\SYSTEM w/status code 1073741482 & system process ' C:WINDOWS\system32\services.exe. How can I stop the closure?

    I get the following message: closing system, the system stops. Please save all work in progress and log off. All wukk unsaved changes are lost. This shutdown was initiated by authority NT\SYSTEM. The system process ' C: Windows\system 32\services.exe ended unexpectedly with status 1073741482 code. The system will now stop diwn and restart.

    I tried the boot, and all the days that something did not work if today I'm the switch back to the normal startup. I tried to run a scan, but it does not have the "clean boot" State... it would also not automatic updates... so here Let's go!

    I had the same problem, tried the clean boot, like Wells, and it has not fixed the problem.  Please try this:
    There are several steps to follow.
    The first is a suggestion from one of the blogs with a slight variation.

    First step:
    Enter safe mode.  (Put in the computer market, press F8 several times until the window offering the Safe Mode option appears.  Use your top and arrows to select Safe mode, and then click it.)

    Since the Office Safe Mode:
    1. right click on 'My Computer' and select 'Properties': my computer-> properties. This opens the "System Properties" dialog box

    2. Select the "Advanced" tab

    3. under "Startup and recovery", click on the button "settings".

    4. at the bottom, in the section "System failure", see what boxes are checked. Windows XP checks them all by default.

    5. click on "Automactically restart." This is probably your cause if you get automactic closures. As an alternative to optimise this method, you can, at your own discretion, also do the following:

    i. uncheck "write an event to the system log.
    II. check 'Send an administrative alert' (which should do more to view the sudden error rather than stop).
    III. uncheck "Automactically restart."
    IV. in the combo box of the section 'Write debugging information', choose '(none) '. Note that this will disable the rest under "information write Debuggin".

    6. your finished, then click 'Ok' to close the dialog of void and then 'Ok' again in the "System Properties" dialog box

    That should do it. Some upgrade suggestions are the best propally but I think these security only handle issues related to other areas if they worth downloads of 2 to 5 hours of 56 k modem for added security. However, I find that some updates are not even for my type of installation (due to unused configuration detection?) or I do not use the services.

    For more information on Tweaking, I suggest to look at "http://www.tweakxp.com" If you are a user of Windows XP.

    Good luck.

    Step 2:
    Also in safe mode
    .

    Some of these steps have been found on the microsoft Web site.  However, the following text is a little different and should translate into success.  It did for me.
    1) enter the Configuration of the utility system.  You can do this by done safe mode right click on Start, by choosing Search, then typing in msconfig and searching the c: drive.  Once the search is complete, click on one of the icons of msconfig.  This will bring up The System Configuration utility.
    (2) click on the tab general select Selective startup.
    (3) click to uncheck the Process SYSTEM. INI file.
    (4) click to uncheck the process to WIN. INI file.
    (5) click to disable Load Startup items.  Make sure that The Load System Services and use Original of INITIALIZATION. INI are checked.
    6) click on the Services tab.
    (7) click to select the hide all Microsoft Services check box.
    8) click disable all, and then click OK.
    (9) computer.

    Step 3: log in to Windows.

    (1) when you receive the following message is displayed, click Select, check box don't show this message or launch the system to Windows Startup Configuration utility , and then click ok.

    If this solves the problem, go to step 4.  If it is not the case, then you will need support from a professional.

    Step 4: find the culprit.

    1) enter in the System Configuration utility (SCU for future reference.)
    2) click on the Startup tab.  (NOTE: If you find "audm" within the list of starting points, it is most likely the culprit.) It was for me. If it is, go to If not, go to 3).
    (3) the top of the list in the start menu, check AN item, then restart the computer. Make a note of each element that starts without failure.
    Repeat this step until you get the window to "Shut down NT Authority... ».  This will reveal that the start point is the origin of the problem.  Once found, go to 4).
    (4) get in safe mode / SCU / Startup / untick the culprit.
    (5) restart Windows.  If this solves the problem, you are almost finished.  If this isn't the case, you will need the services of a professional.

    Step 5: remove the culprit and the reactivation of the process.
    1) go to Start / Search / and look for the item that caused the problem.  (When I did a search for audm - 2 released files.)
    (2) delete all files with the name of the offender and empty your trash.
    3) enter the Configuration of the system - (start/run/msconfig).
    (4) on the general tab, re-enable the Process SYSTEM.ini, WIN.ini processand Load Startup items.
    (5) restart the computer.   The problem should be solved.
     
    Basic suggestions:
    (1) ALWAYS keep a firewall- and choose the option "Open at Startup.  (That's how I think that was my problem - by not having is not the Firewall opens at the beginning).
    (2) perform a virus Scan is every DAY.
    (3) keep all windows programs and drivers updated - every DAY.
    (4) keep all antivirus programs and firewalls updated - every DAY.

    Good luck

  • IPod Touch 3 installation problems. Windows XP thinks that it is a camera in all ports. (Music/hardware problems)

    I click on setup for itunes and the intall process occurs and then it gets to a point and a window opens and says that I have to install the software for the DVD/CD drive can work. In the Panel, I clicked on sounds and Audio devices, click on hardware and off the player, still does not work.  I do a search for software and a message shows a digital camera, that is what I have.  When I click to close the window of the hardware, another one appears just after. Then the installation process continues, but once done, I get a message that errors have occurred in the facility. I could send an album to itunes library, but I couldn't see where to add the music to the Ipod Touch 3.  I think that there should be a "Deputy" which I don't see. Maybe the errors. I did it on my other computer a long time ago, but this computer no longer works, also with XP, no problem at this time here to operate.

    I went to Microsoft after clicking in Control Panel - portable multimedia devices - and he says that the my Ipod is not need of software that it is ready to go.

    I tried with and without the Ipod ports in USB 2.0 ports and also tried to restart the computer with connected.  When I first plug it into a port, it makes the sound "recognizes the new hardware' and it says IPOD.  It appears in the 'Safely remove' icon in the lower tray right, it's another icon, not sure what it is.  I just plugged it before submitting this and no message "recognizes the new hardware" appears and no icon in the status bar. I can't hear the sound it makes with new hardware, but then he does sound like I have that I have not disconnected.
