  Vista reinstall unsuccessful

  Have a laptop Dell Inspiron 1720 under VISTA that would not initialize.  Would not meet a boot of VISTA reinstall the CD that came with the device.  Replaced the hard drive with the hard drive to another laptop running Win 7 Dell.  The 1720 started fine in Win7 since the new HARD drive, and all seems well.  So I guess that all the material (and this new HARD drive) are OK.

  Then, I started again the Vista reinstall the CD to get the 1720 and his new HARD drive to an installation of VISTA is legitimate.  At the format of the process to reinstall the HARD disk partition, and install started.  Has been through the steps of copying, in expansion, installation of the features, installation of updates and finally successful at "completing Installation". "we sat for hours.  The HARD drive light is inactive now.  Not easy to life.  Later (at night), the screen goes black with the cursor of the mouse visible and alive.  But not Vista.  Cut off power supply and tried again.  Same result.  The VISTA reinstall stands in the last step.

  BTW, I ran a diagnosis of memory, and it was OK.

  Any suggestions for next steps?  Reinstall CD could be bad?

  Thank you

  Hi Mike,.

  Disconnect all external devices other than the keyboard and mouse and check if you canproceed with the installation.

  If you have more than 1 GB of RAM I suggest to keep only 1 GB of RAM, remove the extra RAM and check if you can proceed with the installation.

  Windows Vista will not complete installation on SATA hard drive

• Windows Vista will not complete installation on SATA hard drive

  I tried to install Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit on a new desktop computer Acer X 1200 (less than 1 year).  Vista recognizes the drive, format and copy all the files on the disk installation.  Then restarts, is preparing to launch for the first time and get to the part where it says installation finished and hangs there.  The green progress bar does not move and it hangs indefinitely.  The hard drive is SATA and I put a new disc in hard, but exactly the same thing happened.  The motherboard has no IDE port on it and there is no option in the BIOS for the IDE emulation.  At this point I think the motherboard is bad, but I am working also on a laptop HP 1 year with SATA hard drive that does exactly the same thing.  The two systems are pre-installed with Vista Home Premium.  The two systems see the hard drive, but will not complete installation.  I even tried to run the WD Tools Data Lifeguard before installation with no luck at all.  There is no error message or error code, just of hangs and end no installation.  You have any suggestions for this?  Thank you.

  What was my problem I bought the equipment... like motherboard, memory, cpu, and video

  Vista would not be install.would blow on the end of the installation so I tried to put it natively and it worked!

• Failed disk Seagate used CD of HP recovery and windows won't complete installation...

  Hello long player date people initially displays......

  I have an older machine of the HP A6567c... that has been modernized with almost new under the motherboard, processor and ram... Ive swapped the power provides the gpu and of course HD... heres so my question...

  I use a 1 TB hd seagate... Recently it failed on me, so I sent away from replacement since it is under warranty... they me sent a disk of 1 TB of Nice refurbed which is half of the width of my other more old... which I thought was weird... but I installed it anyway... I ran the cd HP 3 recovery al was going well until he went to complete your installation of windows... and then I got an error message saying: could not complete my installation of windows... Please reinstall windows... I was stunned... Ive replaced maybe 4 or5 readers in my time and I've never seen elsewhere... so, I read somewhere to disconnect printers and GPU and nothing that I did this retrial and same issue... so I went diggin' autour and found an article stating that more old CD of HP recovery do not allow some drivers be installed on recovery as what the new style HD session require... and skip this premise I ended up finding a few articles more where people have said the same thing...

  So im at a loss for why the recovery CD don't work... someone knows if there are more recent style recovery CD that work with the new drives? Ive read some forums of HP where others had the question and have had mixed responses from HP support a tech saying they had to buy all new recovery CD, while the other tech said a customer they should improve their OS... I guess that I wouldn't mind upgrading to Win7 from my vista home Prem 64 I hear win 7 is better... but i only run 4 gig of ram so win7 would go on my computer?

  Also if there is a new hard drive in style... What's the beef with them? What makes them so different for older... Unfortunately with this being a holiday weekend im GROUND on get ahold of Seagate... so im stuck waiting til dec 1 Monday to get their hands on them... but I was hoping someone could find it and give me some ideas...

  Thank you

  Hello

  Run the hardware BIOS diagnostic and make sure that your PC is OK. Check with Seagate and be sure that the hard disk that you received is not a drive hard format advanced, because these types of discs will not work with former HP recovery programs.

  If your PC does not have BIOS version 5.32 or superior and a 7 GB or more then remove some DIMM memory in order to reduce the total less than 7 GB.  You can install the latest BIOS updates after the recovery of your PC.

• Window XP service pack won't complete installation

  My computer did an automatic update during the night and got stuck there, so I turned it off, when I restarted I got was the initial start-up and Windows XP is still trying to load the program.  When I went to the F2 option, I did a defaul restore and the computer flashes a blue screen for about 2 seconds and then go back to the Windows loading screen. How can I fix?

  Closing manually a computer, though sometimes necessary, is never recommended. This is especially true when Windows updates are installed and/or configured after installation.

  Follow the instructions below. If you don't have a disk of Windows Xp download the Recovery Console Windows Xp from HERE.  Then, follow the instructions HERE to burn the iso file to the Recovery Console Windows Xp you just download (although the article deals with the Windows 7 repair disc, the burn process is identical).

  1. Insert the Windows XP CD in the CD-ROM drive and restart the computer. If you are prompted to press any key to boot from a cd do;

  2. when the "Welcome" screen appears, press R to start the Recovery Console;

  3. If you have a dual-boot or multiboot, select the installation that you must Access from the Recovery Console.

  4. When you are prompted, type the administrator password. If the administrator password is blank, just press ENTER;

  5. at the command prompt, type chkdsk/r > press ENTER. (Note: there is a space between the slash and the letter k). Let the scan until the end. It may take some time to complete.

  Post back after you complete these steps.

• Windows 10 won't complete installation

  So, I finally started to install Windows 10 through Windows Update, but the first time I did, download he got 78% full. But rather than continue the download, it stopped there and that message says, "10 Windows could not be installed. He also gave me the 80072F78 error code. I tried several solutions and tried to re - download as many times, but each test gave me the same result as before. I just heard on the. ISO file to install it, but I don't know if it will keep all my files if I did like that. I really want to upgrade to Windows 10, and I hope you can help me with this problem.

  Using the ISO method keeps your personal files, applications, and the default settings.

  You can think to choose the option to keep personal files only.

• Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit version won't complete installation

  This one is makes me crazy, everything first, here are the specs of the system on which I'm trying to install Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit version:

  Core 2 Extreme QX9650

  Gigabyte GA-X48T-DQ6

  Patriot Viper 4GB DDR3 1800 Dual Channel Kit

  Gigabyte GV - R4870X2 Radeon HD 4870 X 2 2 GB video card

  Zalman 850W PSU

  1 WD Raptor HD 320

  WD 640GB HD 1

  Now the problem, I had been running Vista Ultimate on the above system and I built a new system I put Windows 7 64 bit on and I liked it well enough to spring for another copy of the 64 bit version of Windows 7. I backed up all my files on an external hard drive and put it on the side to ensure the guard. I then install the new OS of all wipe out to get a clean installation fee. Everything was moving along fine until it came to the point where it was finished installing where it seemed to hang for a while but it was finally restarted, but from there he should have me screens for the key code and my info to enter but I got was a black screen and yet my cursor was there and I could move around. I waited a bit and nothing past that was far from the ease with which it is installed on my new build. I restarted and it took me to the screen where you can choose to start windows in safe mode or normal mode, I tried both ways. Only, he went up and then stopped. I thought that maybe I had a damaged disc, so I got out my new computers Windows disk to see if it would install and I thought that if that was the case I had a damaged disc, but he did the same thing as the disc I tried first. Then I went back to my Vista disk and this 'thing' installed as there was nothing for her. Needless to say I'm stumped on this one.

  Any ideas on what I should try next?

  I should have gotten back sooner, but I finally got the problem fixed. I went to a new ATI video card a 5500 series and Windows 7 installed without a hitch. I downloaded the latest driver for cards in time, and it has been fine since. I hooked it up to my HDTV via a HDMI cable, so I can watch the DVD and Blu - ray movies. It works like a charm. Problem solved.

• NVIDIA driver won't complete installation... pls help...

Since then, he worked very well with my old driver... now everything is ok... but then a problem arosed everytime I restart or scan for any change of hardware device manager, a message appears:

  Windows will now complete the software installation with the manufacturer or the device

  NVIDIA GeForce 9200M GS

  1 Finish Installing (recommended)

  2 ask me later

  even if I click on the installation... then reboot message appears again

  im not sure if theres a problem or not... but I noticed when I play games that performance is not the same as before.

  Any help guys?

  Download the latest driver from NVIDIA on your desktop. Download and install DriverSweeper (it's free). Boot your system using the safe mode (F8 and boot) and then use DriverSweeper to delete all the NVIDIA stuff. Restart normally, and then turn your antivirus software. Now install the NVIDIA driver software.

• Adobe Pro 10 update won't complete installation

  Hi - I have 10 Pro and whenever you are prompted to try to install the updates.  I fell for almost a year now.  The installation process gets to a point in the registry key where it just stops.  It does not give a code or an error message, it just freezes.  We have uninstalled and reinstalled the program several times and nothing has helped.  What should I do?

  I wasn't able to access the same with your link.  But!  I googled real enforcement until something gave me the 10.1.4 extension and I was able to get it downloaded from this research.  I really appreciate your help.  Happy Friday!

  Thank you and have a wonderful weekend!

• Photoshop Elements 12 won't complete installation

  I had 12 items already running on my machine. I just upgraded the hard drive and I am in the process of resettlement. My version is an upgrade to V11. This properly installed and is running. When I try to install V12 it goes right to the end and install an icon on the desktop and then just runs. I left for 3 hours and it will be not yet finished installing. Any help please?

  Thank you

  Try to install from a different source using the link below for the free trial version. After installation, you can validate the product with your serial number. Some users find this download method more intuitive than the method using a DVD or Akamai. After clicking on the download button, you start by download/upgrade to update Adobe Download Assistant. Then select the product PSE12 and start the download and installation.

• App won't complete installation

  Thus, it has been a long time, but last year I put our catalog upward in iTunes, so natually this year I'll try to update. I've been through the same steps in the step by step guide to creating an application. And until the DPS App Builder creating the app, it seems to go well. After downloading the developer application, add to iTunes and is trying to install on an iPad are where I'm having problems. It never ends install. I rebilt the app twice and I still get the same problem. Installation of the circlw progress goes for about 3/4 of the way, then disappears and the app remains in "Setup" mode. An idea on what I could try would be greatly appreciated! Could it have something to do with the provisioning profiles or anything? I thought that I could ' t go as far as DPS building the app if these files were incorrect.

  Thanks for any help!

  Amy

  Your distribution needs profile updated, re-downloaded and included - to use the same certificate that your .p12 is created from provisioning.

• Windows vista for the full installation file that contains package. __

  Respected Sir/Madam,

  I have problem in bought and installed windows vista operating system, so I need an extra copy of already purchased the operating system windows vista, for the complete installation file containing the package.

  Hi sssekarrr,

  It depends completely on the purchase you have made and that the vendor where you purchased Windows Vista if there is a possibility to get an extra copy of the purchase.

  You will need to contact the vendor from which you made the purchase.

  I hope this helps!

• Vista 32 bit will not complete installation, computer says drivers are outdated.

  Hello and thank you for your interest to help me!

  My laptop MSI recently broke down after a year long and courageous, overheating I speculate... So I need to reinstall Vista, since I have no backup discs (shame on me!)... This is where it gets complicated...

  I try to install my Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit, sometimes to "complete installation" and then goes no further.

  I speculated, it might be wrong with the drivers, I went to the website of MSI, found my model and burn it on a CD. During the early stages of installation I chose to locate the drivers, the computer shows me those that I put on the disk, and then when I hit 'next' I am told that pilots I've selected are outdated, which is strange, because the way they come directly to the site of companies.

  Some additional info:
  -I can not start the computer in safe mode or normal mode, it keeps loading.
  -None of the partitions in computers 3 contains no data.
  -Once the computer restarted I tried to insert the disk that contains the drivers... Did nothing.

  Your help to find my poor baby and running is very appreciated!

  Overheating can cause a lot of problems in a computer.

  If the info on how to do a clean install is not enough, you must contact the manufacturer of the computer.

  Here's how to do a clean install:

  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
