Reinstall Windows 7 error: «there is no disk selected for installation (4294967295)»

Hello

I have a laptop of Dell XPS 15z with a new motherboard, after the old one fried. I'm trying to reinstall Windows 7 using the method of system recovery and resettlement of Dell DVD. I would like to get the "copy Windows files...". "step when an error that says:

"There is no disk selected for installation (4294967295). "Check the parameter unattended Setup answer file references a valid drive on this computer, and then restart the installation.

What it means? I actually wanted to start from the DVD and remove the previous partitions to do a clean install, but now I'm afraid of. Is any way to fix this error?

Thank you!!

Hello Jeannette,

1. do you have the computer CAME pre-installed with the Windows operating system?

2. using a system recovery disk or an installation disc?

This problem may occur if the files in the installation disk is corrupted. However, I'd suggest the link and try to manually reinstall Windows 7 on the computer:

  • Windows system error: there is an IP address conflict with another system with the network. How do I remove this error message?

    I just installed a new internet provider and all of my connections are working fine, but I constantly get this "Windows system error: there is an IP address conflict with another system with the network." I have my electrician of the internet modem connected to my office. I have also two wireless devices connected to the appearance of the Modem wireless. I constantly get this error message mentioned above, and I want to get rid of it.

    This means that all that he says.  Your Windows system has an address that already exists on your local network.  Turn your system off and use a working system to locate this address and to which unit he belongs.  In most LANs, the router's DHCP server.  You may be able to ask the router which addresses are used and see what device uses this address, but I suspect not.

    Duplicate addresses can occur when two systems received the same address manually, or when we got an address in the DHCP of the router range. It is unclear when this happened because he is not in control of the address and puts the address duplicate to a second system.  You need to track down, ensuring that all addresses manually asigned are out of the DHCP range, that you book the address of the router, if you want the device to use this address, or configure all devices to request the address of the router using DHCP.

    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.

    Don't push when it restarts anything just to let him do what he does and report back if anything I'm sorry I have no idea.

    How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to factory settings.

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

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

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

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

    Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

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

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    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

  • Windows could not format a partition on disk 0. The error occurred when preparing the partition selected for installation. Error code: 0 x 80070057

    So I just finished my first build. All this POST-ed fine, but I can't get 8.1 Microsoft 64-bit OEM installed on my SSD.

    At first I could start a custom installation and it went through fine until the first reboot. This is where it says "disc error". I tried again hoping it would go but noticed a 350 MB "System reserved" Partition with the rest of my space unallocated in my 1st attempt to install.
    I googled this problem and was told to remove the reserve system, so Windows could create its own partition, or something of that kind.
    Installation works well until you restart again, where this time it says press any key to boot from the cd drive or something of the sort so I don't hope that Windows 8 would be to continue the installation. However, he wanted to just restart the entire system again!
    I try once more in the hope that it would work, I remove the additional partitions created and repeat and this time I can't even begin installation due to the message in the title of this post.
    Since I was:
    -Make sure SSD has been selected for AHCI (it was already on it)
    -Reconnected given SSD + cables power as well as the CD player on shutdown and reboot

  • Error: "there was a disk error when you write to the file C\:Program files (x 86) \microsoft games\dungeon siege\resources\objects.dsres" during the installation of Dungeon Siege.

    When I try to install it it comes up with an error about 16% in the installation, saying that there is a disk error when you write to the file C\:Program files (x 86) \microsoft games\dungeon siege\resources\objects.dsres

    Any ideas?

    Hi MouseToe,

    What version of Dungeon Siege you trying to install?

    The cause of this problem could be the corrupted resource (.dsres) file or disk error. Here are some things you can do to solve the problem.

    Method 1: Run the disk check.

     

    Check the integrity of your hard disk for lost clusters and errors.

    To do this, follow the steps in this article: check a drive for errors

    Method 2: Defragment the hard disk.

    This improves the performance of your hard drive.

    Reference: improve performance by defragmenting your hard drive

    Method 3: Run the game as administrator.

    Here's how:

    (a) right click on the game configuration file.

    (b) choose 'Run as administrator'.

    Method 4: Try to install the game in a different folder or to a different drive

     

    Try to install the game in a different folder. If the computer has another hard disk, try to install the game on the other hard drive.

    Follow these steps.

    a. Insert the game disc in the drive.

    Note: Do not click on Quick Installation during installation.

    b. follow the setting menus until you see the change button.

    c. click change.

    d. in the path box, delete the existing path, and then type the following text:

    drive: \Program Files\Microsoftgame name Games\

    In this example,drive is the letter of the hard disk drive and the name of the game is the name of the game you are trying to install.

    e. click OK when finished.

    f. follow the instructions that appear on the screen to install the game.

    This should be it.

    2nd problem: whenever I restart my computer or shut it down and then power up the white bar that moves from left to right only moving to halfway through and then stops. I then have to hold the power button in until the computer turns off again and then rehit the power button. When it starts to power back up the white bar is always in the Middle, but then begins to finally complete the passage to the far right of the box. This problem started when I loaded the software for my printer Canon MX870 new that I bought and installed in October 2010 and has been done since then. I removed and reloaded the software of the printer on three different occasions but the problem persists.
