When you try to reinstall Vista the following message is displayed: must remove the power cell.

Try to reinstall Vista via the Vista installation disc.  However, the following message appears: must remove the power cell.  What is a power cell and what is the solution for a re - install?

Thank you

Rick

Hi Rick,

1. you are trying to boot from the disc or start on the desktop to start the installation?

If you don't have any concerns of data, you can continue the installation without removing the program.

If you have any concerns of data, then try to remove the PowerShell and run the install. Also perform a backup of important data before reinstalling Windows Vista.

Refer to Microsoft KB article for more information:

You cannot pass a Windows operating system when you have Windows PowerShell 1.0 installed

  • Get the Error Message When you try to reinstall Vista: Windows cannot open the required file: E:\Sources\install.wim

    I'm trying to reinstall windows vista for the following reasons:

    1. I have SQL Server 2008 installed on my computer.  I deleted some files a long time ago and it screwed something and I couldn't reinstall.
    2. I had partitioned my hard drive for vista half and half SuSE and I deleted who and when I did, I think I deleted another partition - my recovery partition (E:\?).
    3. I need to clean my laptop.

    When I try to start the installation of a disk and I put in my product key, I get the following error:

    Windows cannot open the required file E:\Sources\install.wim.  The file does not exist.  Make suure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation.  Error code: 0 x 80070002.

    Let me know if you have any ideas how I can fix it.  My next step was to recreate this E directory and download the install.wim file and re start the installation.  I could not find the file install.wim well.

    Hi Rob,

    I checked the link you provided.  What you downloaded was just the Vista recovery environment.  You cannot actually re - install Vista with that and if you blew your recovery partition unfortunately you may be out of luck.  You blew your partition containing Vista runs so the SFC will be of no help either.  I wish I had better news for you, but I don't see any way o get on without a Vista DVD.  I have good news for you if.  When you get your HP drive if you have problems with the installation, we will be able to help you with that.

    Take care and let us know if you need assistance when the disc arrives. Locutys of Borg

  • Firefox will not print on my HP PSC 750 printer and loses all formatting when you try to print to the printer Brother HL-5240

    I have no problem with one of my printers when printing 11.7 before or IE 6.0.2800.1106 but cannot print from Firefox 3.6.13 (or earlier).
    When you try to print to the HP PSC 750 inkjet printer, a "Print" dialog box appears, showing the title: xyz and a progress meter showing 100%, but it's be covered almost immediately by a second dialog box stating "an unknown error has occurred while printing" and, even if the continuous printer saying 'impression', no printing is taking place.

    When you try to print to the Brother HL-5240 laser printer, printing will take place, but all formatting is lost and what comes out is a block of text unintelligible running.

    What can / should I do to get Firefox to print correctly on my two printers?

    1. print.print_printer reappears after printing something. This pref is the last printer used, so when you reset the prefs it does not appear until you print something.

    2. that your problem with printer HP reappeared quickly, try a new profile.

    http://KB.mozillazine.org/Creating_a_new_Firefox_profile_on_Windows

    3. with regard to the preferences for the old printers, if reset you these Pref they don't come back (assuming that you do not select accidentally printers or printer drivers are uninstalled).

    Error of the IDM

    I suddenly have a problem when you try to download I get this message. "Cannot transfer to Internet Download manager." Error 0x8002801D in windows XP. Pleasw help to y for remedy.
    Thank you

    Hello

    (1) what you're trying to download?

    (2) how you try to download?

    (3) what browser you are using to download?

    (4) don't you make changes to the computer until the problem occurred?

    Step 1: This error occurs when your browser and IDM are set to run under different privileges.

    Maybe you have set to run IDM with administrator rights. This is not correct. IDM Ouvrezledossier if please, right-click on 'IDMan.exe', select the 'Properties' menu item, switch to the "Compatibility" tab and uncheck the checkbox "Run this program as Administrator" (arrow 2 on the image). In addition, you must remove the compatibility with previous versions of Windows if there is none activated (arrow 1 in the picture).

    If this does not help, try to do the same for the executable file of your browser. In addition, turn off the feature with older versions of Windows and "Run this program as Administrator" checkbox.

    Step 2: You may need to run IDM with administrator once rights to register its DLL files. Exit IDM using "Tasks-> output" of the main menu. Then right click on IDM launch icon in the Windows (arrow 1 in picture) programs launch menu and select "Run as Administrator" (arrow 2 on the image).

    Then exit IDM again and run normally.

    Hi n m,

    Boot you from the DVD to start the installation, or have you started the installation in the existing version of Windows?

    I would like to know if you want to perform a new installation or an upgrade installation.

    You can not install Windows on an unallocated partition, if you install vista on brand\fresh the new hard disk, you will need to create partitions on the hard disk.

    Method 1:  Format the partition and then try to install Windows Vista.

    Important: The applications on the computer and all data will be lost when you format (New Installation) of the partition.

    Method 2: You can follow the steps mentioned in the article below
