Problem reinstalling XP on T400

I just got a T400 with XP Pro installed on it. But my friend (who is this laptop) to the Chinese XP, so I try to reinstall windows from scratch, but each time after the initial pilot of process with the blue background of loading the computer go to BSOD, with STOP: 0x0000007B, I found one thing to hard drive. then I try to make the installation of the 3rd party driver thing and it turns out that the installer cannot detect hard drives at all!

Can anyone shed some light on this for me? I am quite experienced with the computer configurations, but this has really stomped me.

Thanks in advance!

I had this problem once before, where the image of OS couldn't see the HDD - change the selection of the mode option SATA controller in the configuration menu of the BIOS to "AHCI" to "Compatibility" - did the trick.

    Problem reinstalling Windows XP

    I'm having a problem reinstalling Windows XP.  After formatting the disk and create partitions, it will not complete the installation.  He goes back and reinstall Windows again.  I go through the installation of 39 minutes, the computer restarts to complete and it loops back and start the installation again. Why it does this and what I can do to move beyond this?

    Go into the BIOS and make sure that you your hard drive is not set to off, and that is the first priority boot CD and your second HD.

  • PROBLEM REINSTALLING ACROBAT PRO XI for disable

    PROBLEM REINSTALLING ACROBAT PRO XI and BRIDGE

    I bought a new Macbook Pro. In the process of migration of files from my previous laptop age of six year, I made the mistake of uninstalling my Adobe CC applications without first disable each one. (I must add that I have CC on another computer at home. I know that the problem of three computers with CC apps, I try to have only two. My old laptop is removed.)

    Troubleshooting call to reinstall, disable and uninstall again.

    When I uninstalled Acrobat Pro XI, it has disappeared from my computer. However, trying to reinstall, Adobe Application Manager says acrobat's "up-to-date". I saw no way to reinstall. So, I copied the XI Acrobat Pro to my other computer and it drags on my old laptop, hoping she work long enough to reinstall and turn off. PDF opens briefly, but I get an error 'Problem of Configuration, error 1', and then it closes.

    Regarding the bridge, the said Application Manager is up-to-date, but trying to reinstall in order to turn off, I get an error that my (10.6.8) operating system on the old laptop is too old to reinstall bridge CC.

    Can you help me to solve these two problems, so that I can get with the help of my applications Adobe CC on my new computer laptop?

    Thank you in advance,

    [info removed - kglad]

    with a subscription to cc you are allowed installation on an unlimited number of computers.

    However, you can only sign on, at most, two computers at the time and you must be logged in opening programs cc.  already open programs seem to work perfectly, even on a 3rd computer but I have not tested who carefully and I rarely do it (by mistake).

    and you do not enable the programs of cc.  you connect.

    you disable programs cc.  you disconnect.

    and xi acrobat could come from your subscription of cc, but that is not the last acrobat and makes me wonder if you have a perpetual license, cc subscription or both.

  • Problem reinstalling XP on Portege 3480CT

    I have a Portege formatted and try to reinstall XP Home. I downloaded the microsoft XP Setup disk files. When I try to install, I get the last disk (6th), then the error:
    Problem detected windows stops to avoid damage
    Am I supposed to load any software (drivers, etc) before you start the installation? I thought it might be a damaged floppy so I recreated the whole. But it's the same thing. In my view, that the error can be caused by a conflict rather than the damage to the laptop.

    Any help or advice appreciated
    Thank you

    Hello

    I put t know what you are trying to install, but usually, you have to install the OS from the Toshiba Recovery CD. This CD contains all the drivers and the necessary corrective measures.

    But need you a compatible external CD player if you want to boot from the CD
    These themes have been discussed many times here in the forum and I recommend using the advanced search of this forum.

  • Problem, reinstall the Update Rollup 2 for Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005

    I have problems with MCE 2005.  My hard drive crashed and the technician that restored my repressive said that he could not work in MCE 2005.  It's a shame because he was working before the hard drive crashes.  I work with windows XP.
    When I go to install the internet and begin to test the connection it gives me "Critical error of process - Code 2"
    When I go to the TV configuration, it tells me "Tuner not found".  Even if I know it works because I also Win TV7 in Hauppauge. My TV tuner is HVR-1600.
    With these problems, I thought that the solution might be to reinstall rollup 2 according to the Microsoft.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/910905
    However, when I go to reinstall the Update Rollup 2, it seems to be to establish a restore point and then it stops when it hits hotfix (KB891593).
    I took a copy of the mcelog and have attached a copy of the log below.

    Assistance or management, you can provide me to solve this problem would be highly appreciated.

    At this point, I'm a newbie to this and I don't have a clue as to the cause of my problems and any ideas you may have for me would be much appreciated.

  • Problem reinstalling Windows XP

    I have a Dell XPS with XP Media Center operating system. He had suffered from corruption of files more and more serious, until now, when I start it up I can't start most programs, even if all the files are present on the C drive. By example, if I try to start IE 8 I get a window asking what program I want to open the program with. I was able to copy all my data on a drive portable and ready to reinstall XP. When I place the CD in the drive, I get the same window asking what program I want to open the installer with. I tried to boot into safe mode and last good known Configuration. Also tried to reformat the drive, but I get a message saying that it cannot be formatted because a utility to access training. Any suggestions?

  • Problem reinstalling Windows 7 on Pavilion dm1 netbook with software HP-published records

    Hello, I have a Pavilion dm1 that require a clean installation of the Windows 7 operating system due to a keylogger problem that could not be defeated.  After backing up my system, I used DBAN Boot and Nuke to zero to HD.  I tried to reinstall the OS with the published HP recovery disks.  Everything seems to load fine until I got to the screen showing "Windows Setup".  There is a small pop-up screen indicating "Windows is now set the following...". "The 'installing the software preparation" has a check mark next to it, and the order of the day on the "Software Installation" list is highlighted. I then get an another pop up screen indicating "You must restart your computer to apply these changes", but the touchpad does not work where I can still get the pointer to appear to make a choice.  The system hangs just upward at this stage.  Any recommendations would be appreciated.  Thank you.

    How do you lond it hang before you finished it?

    HP recovery restarts on its own (several times) you shouldn't have to do anything and it is recommended that you do not use the keyboard or a touch pad during the recovery process, it can be a process hours several retrieving records. Be sure the wireless is turned on when you start the recovery process.

    Hello

    You don't say how you try to reinstall the operating system.

    It's the opinion of their website on relocation:

    I'll be able to use my drive HARD after Active @ KillDisk erase operation?

    In order to use the HDD again you must:

    • repartition the HARD drive using standard utility like FDISK
    • reformat the hard disk using the standard utility like FORMAT
    • Reinstall the operating system using bootable CD-ROM or USB / floppy

  • Problems reinstalling the programs previously installed on an external hard drive.

    So we have this 900 GB external hard (called the [re] drive) drive still connected to your computer via the USB port. To save space on the local hard drive (drive C), whenever I had to install a program, I would put all of his stuff on the external hard drive. Now, I know it was a stupid idea because it can completely screw your computer somehow. in any case, after I realized that I should only record the program on the computer files, I deleted all the program files on the external hard drive and planned to resettle them on the local C drive. However, for what I'm trying to install on the C drive, I always get a weird error message, and I'm sure it has to do with already being installed on the ext disk. In addition, the ext drive gets disconnected from time to time, and there wearing always changes. It used to be included in the port of J, but now it's on the port of K. When the ext disk used to contain the program files, it was listed under the J drive. After I tried to reinstall everything, the reader became the K drive because he got more unplugged. I don't know that this has something to do with all these installation errors as well. However, no matter what port I plug the ext drive in, it refuses to change: it won't change k. It's so frustrating! I can not even my printer drivers to reinstall correctly, and I'm having a HUGE problem with reinstalling Java. I tried to work around this problem, since a few months now, and now I'm about to take just a baseball bat to this computer and replace this piece of *. And I've already messed around a bit with the registry editor, and I DID find things listed (as in Java or my OfficeJet printer) in the title of the folder on drive J railways, which of course is not an existing file path, because it changed the drive K. But I'm not sufficiently comfortable with the registry, in order to have the courage to do so much = (in any case, someone has any ideas? And the system restore does not restore points soon enough if it's what you recommend.

    Hi Ron,

    What is the exact problem that you are experiencing when trying to reinstall?

    Programs must be uninstalled and reinstalled to the correct location.

    If the deleted programs are still in the Recycle Bin, you can restore them and change the drive back letter and follow the correct procedure.

  • Problem reinstalling Vista.

    I have a Dell laptop, Studio, which is about a year and a half.  I have always used free antivirus programs when I can, until I got this system; It came with a free 15 month subscription for Mcafee AV, so I left, thinking that I could always just uninstall it later if/when I had to.  The subscription has expired 4/30, and I didn't buy a renewal, so I decided to uninstall and get Avast.  I go to the start menu, in the Mcafee folder, there is no link uninstaller here.  I go to the Control Panel, programs, remove programs... There are a few things McAfee listed, but not for the main program.  I then do some research and find that it is not an uninstall program provided with the Mcafee software, I have to download it from their Web site, what I'm doing.

    Problem is the uninstall program apparently screwed up a bunch of other things when he got rid of Mcafee.  Random icons are missing and show the generic "windows don't know what this file is" random icon programs do not work, the computer is massively slow and it takes like 6 or 7 minutes to start.  I try to use system restore to revert back to right before uninstalling Mcafee, he is not good at all - every single problem I had before is still happening.

    At this point, all I know to do is reinstall windows.  I don't want to make the option it restore as long as the plant, that I don't want to uninstall Mcafee again, so I use the OS disc that came with the system.  When I try to run it, it-error in section files in expansion, saying that it cannot find the necessary files.  I don't stop there, though - I don't remember any of this, please forgive me if this might be a bit out of order. I try to start on the DVD, not a business. try to run the DVD in windows, not a deal; Try the option which is supposed to repair windows (don't remember what it's called, sorry), not a deal. Try the recovery partition, or anyone else that works, not a deal - get an error message which is just a box with a red x and a 'mistake' in the upper part with an OK button on that one.  Run Chkdsk, no errors...  In addition, at some point, this error code has come: "Windows cannot copy the files to E:/sources to C:/windows.~ls/sources. The files may be damaged or missing. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. Error code 0 x 80070017.  I'm sorry I can't tell you what steps he took, but I think it's the DVD of the OS when I booted directly to that.

    As I typed this, I tried to get the system restore go as far in as possible time, but it's exactly the same as before, only now he has Mcafee again.  I did some research about this error code and the general consensus seems to be that it was a problem with a DVD SATA drive conflict any... most of the people solved the problem by using their different DVD player - problem is, I don't have another DVD player, unless I put the disc in my office and run it somehow on my laptop.

    I apologize for my length, I am so frustrated with this thing.  I want only to run smoothly and not have funky small icons scattered around and I've been playing with it for 2 days and it did not help one iota.  I'll stop whining now and here are some details:

    Series of Dell Studio 1536-144 p, AMD Turion 64 X 2 Dual - Core Mobile RM-74 (no idea what that means, it's on the label that the computer was in--Yes, I recorded it), 4 GB memory, 320 GB of HDD, Slot - loading DVD +/-RW, wireless 802. 11 b / g mini integrated graphics ATI Radeon HD 3200, Vista Home Premium 64-bit and it was Mcafee Security Center, which caused all the trouble.

    Is there anyone out there who (lasted through this rant and) can help me, please?

    ETA: I forgot to say that I kept windows updated religiously.

    Try everything first uninstall the software and reinstall from scratch.  What is the fulll name and the version of the programs?  Downloads of programs or CDs or how they are stored for resettlement?  What version of Vista are you using?  Why do keep you needing to re - install the software - you have problems with them (if so, what are the problems exactly)?  What is the FULL and EXACT error message?

  • Problems reinstalling Vista Home Edition.

    This is the first time I've posted in these forums so feel free to tell me if I'm missing out on useful information.

    I have a laptop (bought in 2008), which was originally windows vista Home premium installed on it. It worked very well even if I couldn't install service pack 1. I never thought that a lot of it because it has not affected my laptop.

    Recently, there was a special offers students Windows 7 for $ 5 by downloading online. I tried this but it says that I couldn't install it because I had no SP1 for vista installed. I contacted a technician microsoft e-mail and did everything she told me. Finally, she concluded that I had thousands of errors that could not be fixed manually. She suggested buying a windows vista recovery disk. I paid on the one hand, tried to reinstall vista on my laptop (which is VERY time consuming) and get a message saying something along the lines of "windows could not complete the installation, restart the installation '." I tried this THREE times. I made sure to save all of my information beforehand, but now I was not able to reinstall vista with success, that I have no way to restore, so in a sense, I lost all my information. I'm a uni student so very worried.

    Help, please.

    «I've been advised by a microsoft technician to just buy a recovery disk.»

    A MS Tech should have said you contact the computer manufacturer to buy a.

    There is a DVD of Installation of Vista and a Disk(Neosmart,) of recovery of startup repair and recovery disc you get from the manufacturer to put your computer to the factory settings (how you bought).

    Microsoft sells not recovery discs, they sell diskettes for Installation of Vista.

    Computer manufacturers selling recovery discs.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    If you have a recovery disk computer manufacturer, boot from it and follow their instructions:

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

    If you have problems using it, contact the manufacturer of the computer.
    This isn't their recovery process, Microsoft.
