• New installation of Windows XP does not - UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME

  I'm trying to do a fresh install of Windows XP.

  Soyo SY - P41 845PE Lite MB
  Pentium 4, 2.4 GHz
  1.5 GB of Ram

  This is a computer that I use every day and who usually has a hard drive with WindowsXP SP3. I just want to have a spare hard drive with a new installation of Windows XP on it.

  But installation can not. Usually to auto restart after step 'Copy files' of the installation process. The Windows splash screen appears briefly, and then blue screen message, "a problem has been detected and Windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer. UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME"followed a few Advisory paragraph which does not apply because the operating system is not yet loaded, then:" technical information: * STOP: (0x8951c900) 0xc0000185 0x00000000 0x00000000. "

  Once he got as far as the Windows Installer screen (one who tells me it will take 39 minutes down left) then a box seemed to read: "Fatal Error. An error was encountered which prevents the installation to continue. Installation failed to install the product catalogs. This is a fatal error. The Setup logs files should contain more information. "Read the Setup log file:" error: the signature for the installation of Windows XP Professional is not valid. " The error code is 80096001. An error occurred during trust verification. »

  Another time, after you press enter in the "WindowsXP installation on the selected element", I INSTANTLY got a screen which read; «An error has occurred during installation has been updated of the partition information on 152626 MB disk 0 at Id 0 on bus 0 on atapi [MBR].» Setup cannot continue. »

  Things, that I already tried that did not work:

  Using two different Windows XP Professional installation disks.

  Withdrawal and tries to install with different RAM sticks in place.

  Two IDE 40 son different cables, which work fine on this computer.

  Two different Western Digital disks hard two test without error using the WD diagnostic utility.

  My knowledge is limited, but that seems to leave only a bad card mother, right?  However, as I say, the computer works well with this old install Windows XP on it. He simply refuses to let me do a new installation on another hard drive.

  What other steps can I take to get a new installation on a hard drive with this computer?

  Thanks to each of you for your attention to my problem.

  I spent $4 on a 80 wire cable IDE (to replace the 40-wire cable I used) and I was finally able to get Windows XP installed today.

  Because I had done installations in the past with the 40 wire cable, I don't understand why it didn't work anymore. I guess the age of the cable, but I actually had multiple failures with a whole new thread 40 I had just bought. A mystery, but at least I now have a new facility and I am inclined to believe the 80 wire will make for a faster computer.

• New installation on windows 7 pro 64-bit sees not connected wired Officejet 6500 E710a-f

  Hello!

  New installation of Windows 7 Pro 64 bit on a gigahertz 3.40 AMD Phenom II X 4 965 with 8 GB of ram. Printer drivers worked on the same bench while he was running as Windows 7 Pro 32-bit.
  After only install FF, AVG, and Acrobat (almost a clean install), downloaded the software HP Officejet full feature and pilot 2012-10-22, Version: 116,98, 28.8 M - OJ6500_E710n - z_1315.exe and tried to install the Officejet 6500 E710a f.

  The printer has a manually set static IP and can be ping from the host. Clean Windows Firewall is disabled and stopped.

  The web interface using the IP address of the printer comes with all the features works on FF.
  Network status shows connected with IP address, hostname and Mac.

  However, when installing the network audit is no ethernet connection. Even manually enter his public static IP address or hostname does not solve the problem.

  Try the USB, the same question option. I see in Device Manager under other devices HPOfficejet 6500 and 6500 HPOfficejet - Fax with a blue questionmark.
  (In the same "other devices" there are 2 Officejet 6500 with a yellow exclamation point - probably from failed network installation).

  In the printers and devices window, the 6500 is displayed with the correct thumbnail, but with a yellow exclamation point icon. Law and by selecting the convenience store, Windows comes up with the message that no driver is installed and offers a solution.  The correction ends with the error that no drivers not found for the FAX. Re-apply the patch never finds the driver.

  Anyone who has met something similar (and a solution)?

  Thanks for any help!

  After trying to do an install clean-install of 100% and once again, the driver software could not find the printer name or IP address.
  Back at each stage, I noticed that I was not using the correct driver! For some reason I D/L the pilot E710n which is for HP Officejet 6500 a Plus e-All-in-One.
  Whatever the difference, when installing the E710n for the model does not detect the printer, or via USB or Ethernet.
  After you download the right driver for the E710a - f HP Officejet 6500 a e-All-in-One Printer (OJ6500_E710a - f_1315.exe) installation perfectly finished in a few minutes and everything goes well...

  You would think, base or USB connectivity network should not be dependent on the specific differences sub-model. I was expecting that a bad driver interrogate the device after finding its IP address and display an error message with useful text.

  Unfortunately, when I did, I found that the drivers on the HP website do not work for some things, especially my wi - fi.

  In Device Manager there are three things that make their appearance as having a problem:

  If anyone can provide me with some drivers work, I would be incredibly grateful. I called HP and they told me all I can do is to pay $40 for a CD delivered to me so I can reinstall the version of bloatware, and I really want to do.

  Intel i5 4440U 3.3 GHz processor

  AMD R9 270 2 GB

  8 GB RAM

  1 TB HARD DRIVE

  Basically, my alienware has had many recent accidents before I made my own window installation 8.1 via the USB port. I thought it will run more fast and smoother after I have done, but here are a few problems:

  2 application opening time is still as slow as before the clean install (i.e. Chrome)

  So, is there a procedure step by step on how to perform a new installation of window 8.1? I want this PC to match at the beginning when I first bought.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
