Problem installing Windows
I am currently running Windows Vista 32-bit, and I try to install Windows Vista 64 bit, but I get an error message saying "Setup cannot run this version of the operating system." To install Windows please try to boot from the installation media. "How can I do this? I got 64-bit on my computer before then, how this can be solved?
It seems that you insert the drive while Windows is running.
You will need to boot from the DVD, make sure that the order of startup in the BIOS is set to boot from the DVD drive first.

I too have a problem installing windows error1601. I went through the steps to get services and found that this installer of windows is gone. How can I get that back?
Try to run the Windows Installer Cleanup http://www.softpedia.com/get/Security/Secure-cleaning/Windows-Installer-CleanUp-Utility.shtml utility to see if that solves the problems with windows install.
I hope this helps.

Problem installing Windows XP Mode in 7 Winjdows
I have a problem installing Windows XP Mode in Windows 7 Pro 64 running on a Dell Latitude E6510 laptop with an i5 processor and 8 GB of ram. This machine supports hardware virtualization, and it is enabled in the BIOS.
Before downloading software in XP Mode, the MS download required Windows validation Web site. Downloaded and reported validation validation and a successful installation. Then I downloaded Windows XP Mode (WindowsXPMode_en - us.exe, 481 052 KB) installation package and the package of Windows Virtual PC (Windows6 1 - KB958559 - x 64 - RefreshPkg.msu, 16 692-Ko). Then, I installed Windows XP Mode; the installation ran without any problems apparent and reported success.According to the docs of download site, the next step is to: "... click on the Windows 7 start button , and then select all programs > Windows Virtual PC > Windows XP Mode to begin the installation."My problem is Windows Virtual PC does not appear anywhere in the selection of all programs list - believe me, I looked. There is, however, a new directory calledc:\ProgramFiles\Windows XP Mode\but it contains no exe file. It contains a file of 1.2 GB called Windows XP Mode base.vhd - but it is not clear what to do with it. There is also a tutorial subdirectory.I tried to reinstall Windows XP Mode (without uninstalling first) but I just get a warning message that the program is already installed. Windows XP Mode appears on the list "Uninstall or change a program" in the module programs and features in Control Panel.I tried running (Windows6. 1-KB958559-x64-RefreshPkg.msu(Windows6.1-KB958559-x64-RefreshPkg.msu, goal that throws error 0x8007000d, "The data is invalid."If at this point, my question is simple, "what to try next?Thanks in advance.The right way to install Windows XP Mode, you must first install Windows Virtual PC, and then install Windows XP Mode.
You must install both files:
1 Windows6. 1 - KB958559 - x 64 or x 86 architecture that you run
Restart the system, and then install:
2 WindowsXPMode_en-we

Problem installing Windows XP on the Satellite A200-1VF
I'm trying to install Windows XP with SP2.
I created a new installation of Window XP with nlite disc and included the Storage Manager to get access to the hard drive.I started with this new record of installations and allows to manage my hard drive.
Then it is formatted and files have been copied to the hard drive. After the 1 st reboot. takes place.Windows XP logo appears logo disappears after a few seconds and it's time that the installation of 1 st screen.
But instead, it appears a box with a red X and an error message "for the given process is not enough quotas for virtual storage or the pagefile" 2 seconds later, the system will reboot and restart the installation and gets the same message and so on.The system is already flashed with the BIOS V5.30 for XP.
To continue installing XP any help is appreciated.Thanks Klaus
Hello
just a quick question: is the recovery for Vista work? I mean, it sounds like a hardware problem, but usually if the machine worked well before, it must be another problem. The image that was created with nLite is maybe defective...
Would appreciate comments on your part.

Portege M200 - problem installing Windows Xp - BSOD
I recently got 2 computers Portege M200 laptops, but previous users had wiped the hard drive.
So now im trying to install windows Xp via cd-rom drives externel accompanying.
But when its load to the top of the windows Xp cd it gives me a BSOD somewhere near the end of loading the CD (it always stops on 'Setup starts windows').Now, I thought that this could be a hard drive problem, so I have a drive hard "nine", but this still does not work (this problem exists on two laptops).
Now im wondering if theres some sort of special installation process or something of the sort for the M200?
I hope someone can help me with my problem.
Thank you... DGHi mate,
What version of Windows XP you are trying to install? Windows XP Professional or Tablet edition? You have the available recovery? If Yes, then you should use it :)

Satellite A200-1YO - problems installing Windows XP Home edition
Hi guys,.
First of all I'm new here so Hello to everyone here and I hope you can help me with my problems of software.
I recently bought a laptop model Toshiba Satellite A200-1YO provided with windows vista (which must be frank, pants and IMO too demanding for the machine) and I have a problem with vista, because some of its features do not seem to work, for example, I'm having a lot of trouble getting some of the webpages to open now, they simply hang out.
now, I didn't install windows xp but I don't have an external floppy drive. This is not a problem but because I can use Nlite to integrate the drivers in a new ISO of Windows XP.
The problem is that I have 4 sets of drivers: ICH7M_32bit, ICH7M_64bit, ICH8M_32bit and ICH8M_64bit. As I install Windows XP 32-bit while I'm more or less some that I have not need 64-bit drivers but when I install Windows XP by using the modified version of windows xp slipstreamed, what I get at startup is a BSD error telling me that something has crashed on my hard drive , however I can't say which crashed as the screen disappears after 15 seconds if that so I guess there is something wrong with the drivers I use (though I must admit that I'm not sure the drivers 32-bit to use)
advice and assistance regarding being able to install windows xp would be welcome, as I said above, however, I can only use Nlite since I do not have a usb floppy drive.
Satellite A200-1YO has a chip with the ICH8M southbridge Intel GM965.
So you need the driver for SATA ICH8M_32bit.

Problem installing Windows 7: drivers needed
I try to perform a clean installation of Windows 7 on a 250 GB hard drive which is perfectly clean. Windows asks a driver for my ASUS DRW-2014L1T optical drive before it can proceed with the installation. The ASUS site offers only a few firmware for this model, and none of them are same for Windows 7 (vista is the more recent they are). In addition, the firmware are in .exe format which makes me think they are intended to be installed on a machine with Windows already installed. So, do you know of any ways to get around this problem? Is there generic drivers that I could install?
Thanks for any help,
Nate
Hey Nate,
· How many drivers DVD the computer have?
· Is ASUS DRW-2014L1T internal or external drive?
If the computer has an another DVD player, I suggest to use the DVD player and try to install Windows 7.
For reference:
DRW-2014L1T has no drivers for Windows 7

Problem installing Windows Vista after Linix based system crashed.
So when I bought this laptop it was running Vista, I then upgraded to 7. After running windows 7 for a few months, I decided to try Ubuntu Linux. I made a mistake when trying to dual boot and ended up taking my computer windows. Ubuntu crashed while I was doing something to my Iphone with it and she would not allow me in the operating system. I got my restore disk and installed windows again, but when I did I found that all my drivers are not installed for my wifi card and the graphics card. I have the drivers also disk, but here shows all installed. What should I do to recover my laptop to factory settings?

Hey SteveZea
you don't say if you used your laptop to join here or not
go to your site to manufacturers of portable computer with the computer that you use for here and find a download section
find the drivers for your laptop model number, download and save if you use another computer to get here
copy to flash drive, if you use another computer to do this and reinstall on your laptop
If the problem persists then contact the manufacturer of your laptop as their recovery process is not microsofts you have problems with

Problem installing Windows 7 on Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 13 665D817
Hello
I have a Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 13 665D817 without an operating system and be able to install Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (msdnaa version). I actually had the Thinkpad even before and managed to install Windows 7 withouth any problems.
After starting from the USB stick during installation without hard drive is located. To this end, I insert a second usb key with drivers for AMD AHCI Controller Device Driver for Windows 7 and select the directory of win7 64 bit. A driver to install is offered, but after installing it, it seems as if nothing happened. No disk is detected, and I can't continue the installation.
thx for the help
(by the way, the proposed here spell check does not recognize "Lenovo" - * lol *)
I saw this happen occasionally during installation via the USB port. In my experience, it is when a USB 3.0 or eSATA/USB combo port is present. It does not occur if start you it from a Windows existing, nor happens during the installation of optical media.
There is something that includes ImageX that you can use to install Windows, but that gets a little complicated.
