When you try to initialize hard disk i/o device error.
I'm under the home edition of windows vista with service pack 1. I use an eMachine. I have an AMD athlon processor 2.60 Ghz. Recently, I connected a western digital 250 GB hard drive which has already been used in my old xbox. I was hoping not to have to lose all the data currently on the disk, but it is not as important as the implementation for storage on my computer. The WD drive shows in both the BIOS and in my computer management, but not in my computer. After research, I found that I needed initialize and then configure the partitions on the disk. When I try to initialize the drive however, I get the I/o device error. I tried to enter the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers and then changin settings to PIO only, then on DMA. It does not say if Transfer Mode. I wonder if I miss something, or maybe if there is a way to format the drive in the hope that it will initialize without problem? Or if all goes well, there's just something that I'm missing now and I won't have to format the drive?
If the drive is not recognized by other computers, that's the case, it is dead or the drive itself is dead, or both. Contact Western Digital for methods of data recovery if the drive is still under warranty. Alternatively, if the drive is out of warranty, break the case and put the drive in a different disk enclosure. This answer if it is just the case of WD failed. If you're lucky, and that this is the case, just keep the drive within the confines of substitute.
OTOH, if the drive is not detected even in another forum, then it is dead. If data is critical and expense is not a problem, to recover the data, the reader should be sent to a professional data recovery company. It is a fairly expensive step. I use savers by car .

Photoshop cs4 access denied when you try to install from disk in Windows 7 64 bit.
Photoshop cs4 access denied when you try to install from disk in Windows 7 64 bit. I tried in
safe mode and it starts to install, but get an error there as well.
What should I do?
So when you put the disk in it does not work properly? When the disc is inserted, you should have a window pop up with 2 options. 1. install and another to see what is on the disk. Choose to open the disc or explore. Navigate to the folder where is the photoshop CS4 .exe file (which runs the Setup program), right-click on the .exe file and choose Run as administrator and it should start. See if it will install. If this isn't the case, then read below.
I don't know how long you got in the installation until so chances are, you will need to run the CS4 Cleanup utility. 2 levels to run but do not use 1 or 2 just type number 3.
http://www.Adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html
You may need to run the utility windows install cleanup too
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/290301
Before you try to reinstall the software make sure that adobe reader is not installed. If it is delete. It has caused problems in the past with vista and CS4 installs.
You can also disable windows Defender and all antivirus software. You can keep UAC Windows 7.
When installing CS4 to 90 percent, it stops almost and may take 5 to 10 minutes at the end. It's normal. What a pain huh...
After the installation is complete, restart
After restarting, go to the icon of CS4 64-bit or 32-bit (depends on 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7) in the starting area, right-click on CS4 64-bit (if you have windows 7 64 bit), and then choose Properties, Compatibility tab, and then check run as administrator at the lower part. Hit apply, ok to finish.
Now, run CS4 and run the update.

When you try to create a system image, receive the error code 0 x 81000019
Get the error code when you try to create a system image on a 900 + GB hard drive with 900 GB of free space. Keeps telling me that there is not enough space to create the image of the shadow. I'm trying the disk image has only 40 GB of data. What is going on? Using Windows 7 64 bit Pro.
Many hours of searching the Web for answers about a year ago, said that relatively few people have this problem and proposed solutions in the forums have been complex, machine dependent and seem to fail for most of the people who have tried a fix...
So when I gave up and called Microsoft... they told me to take my problem to anyone assembled my computer...
The man who built my machine told me not to worry, simply store all my files on the cloud, as he does...
So now I store my important stuff on a spare drive, we have installed in the box, go to live with the inability to make appropriate backups and restore points...
All my old computers is standard backups without any hassle... Just this new machine with Win7.
(The only "new" thing was a disc SSD C... can't believe it would make one difference either, other than speed... and many people use them in 2011...)

6.2.16: when you try to update ITunes on my Windows laptop, I get the following error message: "there is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this teaching to complete could not be run. Contact your supplier of staff or the package of support ". There is no associated error code. I've never had a previous issue with ITunes updates. Thank you, Debbie
Repair Apple Software Update since the programs & features Panel configuration and then try again.
For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.
Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.
The more information box has direct links with the current and recent if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with third-party software.
Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.
