Problem installing Win Vista of SuperDrive
After the installation of Fusion 2.0.6 I then install Win Vista by inserting the CD in one of the two SuperDrive on my PowerMac. It does not recognize one of the two disks. In the technical session of this Forum, I found how to fix this problem by changing the VMware configuration file. Still not solve my problem by changing to IDE0 or SCSI0 for four parameters.
Can someone help to solve more high question on how I can get the merger to recognize one of the burners so that I can install Win Vista? Thank you.
More information:
Mac OS X 10.6.1
Fusion 2.0.6 (I don't think that this problem is au.6 as I had the same problem as avec.5)
Mac Pro 8-core 2.26 Hz with 16 MB memory
Thank you.

Cannot install VMware Fusion on a PowerMac because it is not based on Intel, which is a requirement.
You shouldn't have to change the CD/DVD from IDE to SCSI under VMware Fusion to install Windows Vista and if for some reason you cannot get the disc to use the physical disk and then make an ISO Image and use it to install as it is actually faster and that is including the time to make the image.
=================
Note: When you use utility disk in order to have a bootable ISO Image, you must select Master CD/DVD without encryption in which case by default, it will have an extension .cdr file and in version 1.1 of the merger and later does not need to be changed in .iso, although one can if one chooses to. A default .dmg image is compressed and is not bootable, as an uncompressed .dmg will start if changed in .iso and of course the source CD/DVD should be bootable in the first place.
To create an ISO Image using disk utility...
1 insert the CD or DVD disc into the optical drive of your computer.
2. open disk utility (/ Applications/Utilities/Disk utility).
3. Select the CD or DVD drive in the list of disks and volumes.
4. Choose file > new > "Disk Image from (name of the disc)."
5. type a name for the disk image.
6. choose "DVD/CD master" from the Image Format pop-up menu.
7 choose "none" from the encryption pop-up menu.
8. click on save.
After you have made the ISO Image and then eject the disc source from the optical drive.
Then, set the ISO Image as the CD/DVD in the leaf of the parameters of the Virtual Machine.
Take a look at: VMware Fusion menu bar > help > VMware Fusion help > managing Virtual Machines > configure the CD/DVD drive

Satellite P300-133 - problem installing Win Xp
Hello
I have a problem installing win xp to Satellite p300-133.
To resolve this problem, I have tried the solutions:
switch to ahci mode in bios and incorporating storage drivers compatibility intel to the installation cd xp with nlite, but none of them solved the problem.Laptop computer starts from the cd of xp and xp installation says "program Setup inspects your hardware configuration" and then a blank black screen comes.
After that, the installation does nothing and waits indefinitely.Any ideas on this problem? Thank you.
Hello
> switch to compatibility ahci mode in the bios and the integration of the storage drivers Intel to xp with nlite installation cd, but none of them solved the problem.
The two methods are good!
You can install the Win XP without drivers Intel Storage Manager (SATA drivers) but in this case the SATA mode must be on compatible mode.
It works for sure!The second method is the installation of the SATA drivers with nLite (drivers can be integrated into the new drive Win XP).
I put t understand why this doesn t work on your laptop. I think it's a problem with your Win XP drive. Contains this Win XP SP2 or SP3?
If this isn't the case, then you should use nLite to include min the Win XP SP2.Check it!

Clean instal Win Vista x 86 HP on new SSD now in SP2. The material is a Medion Q6600 on mother MSI7366 and NVidia GeForce 9300GS map.
Will not install KB2079403, KB2479943, KB2536275 (fail 0x800B0100) or KB2536275 (not 0x8007065E). Suggestions how to proceed?
I tried each individually - how know one gives what error.
Run Update Readiness Tool and it says everything is OK. You run MS Baseline Security analyze and downloaded packages individual but can not understand the correct syntax to invoke manually by hand using pkgmgr. I'm stuck with a new installation of Vista precarious missing 4 critical fixes :(
I could go back and start from scratch, but I think I'll finish exactly in the same place again. Have also tried AV scans of bootable CD made on another system of trust and found no evidence of malicious software with three different products.
Is it possible to get the best diagnosis of update of windows beyond "failed with unknown cryptic error."
Any ideas what these patches have in common, which causes them to fail on my kit?
Thank you
Martin Brown
Thank you very much! These well made the case.
I had not had as much as to put on an AV so that it was not to blame. I have no idea why Windows Update had taken against these specific fixes - they work OK on the hard drive.
They all performed successfully, according to the newspaper. But I came to be stuck with a 'respect' in the automatic mode of updates for the last KB2536275 tag applied. He thinks that the patch should always be applied (and running it still does not work).
Correction - it takes the system a heck of a lot of time to notice that the patch is applied and removed from the list (at least 2 reboots and the time it took me to write this letter) to do. Now, everything is good on the SSD and a nice green checkmark shows that there are no outstanding update!
Thanks again it was exactly what I need.
BTW How did you find these .msu files? When I went before all I could find were cryptic and opaque. CAB files with names absolutely inpenetrable, my question at the beginning was to know how to apply them as pkgmgr syntax is not really obvious from the help page.
They are much more user friendly they are autonomous and run after the download.

Lenovo Y500 close unexpectedly - does not install Win vista/7/8
Hello friends
It is Anubhav Jain of Mathura (India). I have a lenovo 3000 Y500 laptop with Win Vista Home Basic, I bought about 3 years, to 1 last year all about I am facing a problem with my laptop. The problem started when I tried to open an attachment in my email. At the time when I clicked on the file to my laptop shuts down suddenly (seems certain virus was in it). Even after trying the key recovery option, it has not begun. Then I tried to install Windows XP and it started working.
Now the problem is
1 - when I try to install over XP is Win Vista/7/8 while in the middle of the installation, it stops. This means that it is impossible to install any other OS then XP.
2. up to a few months back it worked fine under XP, but last month the problem began under XP also. Mean while I'm working it will suddenly off. If I try it, as soon as it shows the home screen, that would once turned off. But if I open it after some time then she start and run for a few hours.
3. even under XP if I try to install MS Office 2007 or above the same thing occurs for example, just after the progress of the installation of small the laptop suddenly shuts off and will not let me intall Office 2007 or a later version.
Is this due to a malware or overheating of motherboard problem. I formatted the entire hard drive and tried installing after removal of partitions and making new partitions.
I ask you all to guide me please. Thank you in advance.
Kind regards

Dear SE Soha,
Thank you very much for your answer. I had already tried what you suggested. But not resolved. Yesterday I took my laptop hardware engineer and diagnose after he was identified as a chip in the motherboard was faulty which created this problem. After replacing the laptop started to work well. It was not a software problem, it's a motherboard problem. But the sad part is that there is not any guarantee for such repair of motherboard and next time if this same problem this laptop will have to be trashed. Rest is up to God's blessing.
Thank you very much for your support.

Now, everything is great, I can't get my WiFi to turn on or display anything. I used to be able to tap the orange wifi switch and it turns blue now, it will not allow me
Hello:
If the network controller device is missing, then the driver installed and you should now see an Intel 5100 WiFi card listed in the category network adapters in the Device Manager.
You should now be able to connect to wireless internet.
The other two drivers you posted the ID for are the following:
First install it and reboot.
The other is the graphics card that needs a driver.
One of the unknown devices is probably this one...
Another unknown devices is probably this one...
You must display the hardware for the 3rd ID like you did the others. If it is listed as being unknown, it does not start with PCI\VEN. Right after the top line of characters.

Hello
Here are different ways to reinstall Vista.
There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.
You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.
They should do this for a small fee.
To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:
You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:
How to change the Boot order in BIOS:
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm
"How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246
Check if you have a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.
The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)
Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.
Ask them to the proper key sequence.
Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.
If this happens, you may need to try this instead:
You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.
Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.
And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs
Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:
"How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html
And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.
And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.
"How to activate Vista normally and by Activation of the phone '
