Missing file of sludge activated when installing XP

Recently, I reformatted the hard drive on my computer and tried to reinstall Windows XP. I get half way through installation and getting a message says that the asms file is missing and gives me the possibility to locate the file on the computer. How can I solve this problem?

If you do a Google search on your error message, you will find a few good ideas that have several happy endings (this seems to be a relatively common problem).  There is even a Microsoft KB article on this subject, but depends on several unknown factors, it may not work for you:

http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB; EN-US; Q311755

There are other ideas on the Internet that appear to be effective when the article MS does not work.

It's a shame that we know absolutely nothing about your system, but that's the way it goes around here.

If we knew more about your system and what you have, you would probably be done now!

  • Satellite A200-1DY - file iastor.sys damaged when installing XP

    Hello Toshiba users.

    I bought a Satellite A200-1DY and I want to install Windows XP 32-bit. I used nLite to integrate controllers Manager storage, but when I boot the CD of Windows XP sudenlly it says that its corrupt iastor.sys (damaged in Spanish).

    I wonder if its because only the file storage manager has two options the ICH7M and ICH8M and I don't know which to incorporate (I joined the ICH7M) or maybe the Windows XP that I use is the problem, but I tried diferent ones. Should I replace the file iastor.sys in the CD with the one I downloaded from the Toshibas Web page? If this is the case, where can I find this file on a Windows XP CD, I mean what dir?

    If I'm not good as I say again once the problem is that the file iastor.sys is corrupted and it won't let me format my c drive to install Windows XP. Hope you can help me please, I would be very happy I'll be cheking the forum every day for today

    Hey Buddy,

    Satellite A200-1DY is equipped with Intel ICH8M chipset so I think that s the problem because you only integrated drivers SATA ICH7M

    You should try to create the disc using nLite and then include only files ICH8M.

    You can download the Intel Storage Manager driver on the official website of Toshiba. It contains the correct and pre-tested driver for your model of laptop.

    I don't understand exactly how errors in the two newspapers are related, but my opinion is that, if I can solve my CheckSUR.log errors, CBS.log errors will disappear to, and then I might even be able to install SP1.

    1 person needs an answer

    For what is interesting, what I ended up doing to solve my problems was to re - install Vista with the 'upgrade' option, so I don't lose any of my files or desktop settings...

    After that, I had a few problems with my OS reinstalled with several (80 +) updates, SP1 and SP2 from catching up.  But overall these problems were minor compared to it, that I lived just to fix some missing files.

    Hi PCBs % century 40,.

    'Download Support Advisor' is a generic error, and we need to understand what is causing the problem. Most of the time, its a problem with the download was not successful or downloaded correctly. So, in this case, re-download the software and do not forget to compare the file size of the file downloaded with the file on the server.  Download Creative Suite 6 applications

    Allows you to check in this case as well and make sure that the download is complete, if the size of the file is correct, to the install.log file.

    Navigate in the log files in one of the following folder:

    Mac OS: / Library/Logs/Adobe/Installers /.

    C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Adobe\Installers\

    The name of the log file includes the name of the product and installation date, followed of ".". log.gz."the .gz extension indicates a compressed format.

    You can use WIN RAR to extract the 7z or gz file:

    WINDOWS: http://www.rarlab.com/rar/winrar-x64-531.exe

    MAC: WinRAR download and support: post-Télécharger

    Once unzipped, the log file is a text file, open the .log using TextEdit (Mac OS) and notebook (OS Win)

    Scroll to the bottom of the log. Look in the section - summary - for lines that begin with ERROR or FATAL and signals a failure during the installation process.

    Copy and paste this section SUMMARIZED here so that we can check for errors. Alternatively, you can analyze the logs yourself. http://helpx.Adobe.com/Creative-Suite/KB/troubleshoot-install-logs-CS5-CS5.html

    Hello

    At first my English isn't the best.

    When I try to create a new HARD drive recovery CD an error telling me there is a missing file

    This is the error message:

    The following file could not be opened,
    F:\08011XSP5.swm

    I just translated the error message then maybe there are a few mistakes in there.

    I put t know what to do. Can someone help me?

    > I don't know what to do. Can someone help me?
    In my opinion, you should follow:
    Make screenshots of all the errors as evidence. Try to create a recovery media using DVD-R media and use high quality as TDK or Verbatim media.

    If the same thing happen again try to contact nearest authorized maintainer and explain the situation. I hope that you will get a new original Toshiba recovery media.
    The missing file is a serious problem for me and if you are unable to create recovery media, I fear that you can not install Vista using F6 option and the HDD recovery procedure. If this is true, you can stay without an operating system. Please don't make any experiences with F6.

    Contact ASP and try to get a free recovery media. Use screenshots as evidence.

    By the way: I Satellite A300, but I got lucky and creation of recovery worked correctly.

    This is a known bug 'Dumb MS' and very simple to fix. It is simply that the installer wants to put a bit of a music (the standard windows sound) file in a particular place, and the directory does not exist on some copies of OEM Windows XP home.

    You just need to create the folder he wants before rerunning the SP3 update. Not at the moment, I can't find a link to the exact thing, but if these directories do not exist, create them. You must be logged on as administrator user to do this.

    The file beethoven.wma wants to be in the folder "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Shared Documents\Shared Music".
    OR maybe "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Music\Sample sounds\" on XP-Home Edition

    However, the "All Users" directory down may be missing or not have NO defined permissions.
    To fix it, right-click on "All Users" and click the option 'security '.

    Click on the security"" tab.

  • Cannot install applications he said missing files or if it install it comes up with open with dialog

    I tried to install the software after the installation of the operating system on my new internal hard drive. But whenever I have to install something it says some missing files and even if it installs I could not open the application. It popups opened with the dialog box.

    Hello sandrine,.

    I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing and will certainly help you in the right direction to solve the problem. However, I would be grateful if you could answer a few questions to refine the question in order to provide you with better assistance.

    1. After you have installed Windows on your PC, you are able to install Windows updates?
    2. Have any security software installed?
    3. What is the exact error code/message you get when installing applications?
    4. Are you logged in with an administrator account or a standard account?

    Try these steps and see if it helps you to solve the problem.

    Method 1

    First of all, try to run the fixit/convenience store described in the article mentioned below. This fixit is used to fix the below mentioned corruption.

    • Registry keys damaged on 64-bit operating systems
    • Corrupt registry keys that control the update data
    • Problems that prevent the installation of new programs
    • Problems that prevent existing programs are completely uninstalled or updated
    • Problems you block of uninstalling a program through Add or remove programs (or programs and features) in Control Panel.

    Solve problems that block the programs to be installed or removed

    Method 2

    There could be a chance that the service responsible for the installation of application does not run. So, I suggest you to check if the installation service is running and its status is automatic.

    • Press the Windows key + R to open Run box.
    • Type services.msc in the Run box and press on enter.
    • Look for the Windows service install.
    • Right-click on the service and select Properties from the list.
    • Start the service if it is not executed.
    • Make sure that the Startup type should be Automatic.

    Get back to us with all the necessary information and the result of the proposed suggestion. We will be happy to help you further.

  • Missing files when importing files in LR5.2 catalog on OS Mavericks

    Hi, I hope someone may be able to help me.

    I'm running LR5.2 on Mavericks and I find that when I import the content of one of my discs containing 1 TB of images arranged in folders and subfolders, files that many of these images are missing from the catalog, even if they are certainly still on the drive I am importing of.  When the synchronization of the catalogue, or the items it contains, it will say there are thousands of files to synchronize.  When I then sync, it will go through the motions up to 10 minutes, telling me his complete, but at the end of the day, will not import these files.  I have this same drive cataloged in LR4 on my work MacBook Pro under Mountain Lion & all files are visible on this.

    Any ideas what going on?  Could this be a problem of incompatibility with the Mavericks? Or something weird in my settings?  Shoul be I re - install LR?

    Thanks in advance,

    Craig

    Out of curiosity, when you synchronize you show the import dialog box? I noticed the other day that I didn't show the import dialog box when I synchronzied to add folders, Lightroom did not appear to actually add the images. But when I tried again and crossed the import dialog box, it appeared. Wasn't sure if it was the stroke of luck or a bug.
