Windows 7 install hangs at "Setup is preparing your computer for first use.

I'm trying to install Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit on a Giada N20 via USB.  The specifications of the computer are:

Intel Atom D252
NM10 Express Chipset
2 GB of Ram
HARD DRIVE 320
NVIDIA ION graphics processor

I seem stuck at "Setup is preparing your computer for first use.  It stays on the screen for about 8 minutes, goes to a white screen for about 5 minutes and then returned to the screen "Setup is preparing your computer for first use.  The nettop does not have a CD-ROM drive, and I have currently not an external USB drive is my only option right now. I tried the USB stick on another computer, and he moved very well.  I try to avoid having to buy an external rom just to try it, but I guess that will be my next step.

Someone at - it suggestions on what I should try next?

Hello

Are you able to boor in safe mode?

It is possible that one of the devices of external hardware or internal interferes with the installation process.

Try the following steps:
a. first of all unplug external devices attached to the computer except the mouse and external keyboard.
b. restart the computer and start the installation of Windows 7.
c. press SHIFT + F10 to open the command prompt.
d. type devmgmt.msc in the command prompt and press to enter.
e. in Device Manager, disable all unnecessary devices and then try to continue the installation.

  • "Setup is preparing your computer for first use" loop problem

    Hello, I was hoping you guys could help out me with a big problem, I ran across when trying to install Windows 7 on a desktop computer new, custom - build. I managed to successfully install my Windows 7 64-bit, it appeared, but when I try to run it, that I will meet a black screen that says "Setup is preparing your computer for first use" and it will stay there forever, I would say. I let it run all night and didn't go anywhere.

    I tried to start in safe mode, and Windows was loading files sys32, he got to "Classpnp.sys" and it froze. After a few minutes, the screen is blacked out, and I got fired the familiar screen "Setup is preparing your computer for first use.

    I bought the copy of Windows 7 nine FRY, there will be no problem with that. My HD is a (new) 240 GB PNY Optima SSD, my mobo is a (new) Z97X-SLI Gigabyte, and I have 16 GB of RAM. All these things have been recognized by my BIOS, it seems that everything is properly connected.

    I tried to install Windows 7 on a second time and exactly the same thing happened. I also tried to repair the installation to start upward, but he finds no problems. Also a check of the memory and the disk has verified without any problem. The only things I plugged are my monitor, keyboard, and mouse.

    Does anyone know of a workaround for this screen loop "first use"? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Set of utilities to test for computer HARDWARE manufacturers:

    Note: If you are Overclocking or use an automatic overclocking or BIOS power saving features, start by disabling: Intel EIST, Turbo Mode, Cool and pretty and fall back to the speed of stock as a starting point.

    Disconnect any other (additional) internal hard drives and external USB devices.

    Look for any loose hard drive power or cables SATA, graphics card or other power cables.

    First run Memtest86 +:

    It runs from a floppy disk or CD and should eliminate or confirm if one or more of your memory

    sticks are bad or the values of the SPD in the BIOS are correct.

    Let it run for as long as you can: 2,4,6,8 or several hours (at least 3 full passes), if no errors at that time then your ram is OK.

  • New installation of Windows 7 Ultimate, computer loops and again: "the installation program prepares your computer for first use.

    I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate on my Toshiba Tecra A4-S211 and provided that the installation went, it seemed that took place without incident; except that when I try to start windows I see: "Starting windows" followed by "Setup prepares your computer for first use" that is displayed for about 3-5 seconds and then it restarts and displays abruptly: "cannot start Windows. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. "I tried the safe mode, but also"last known good configuration"and I get the same results. Finally, I tried the repair function on the installation disc and says am Startup Repair is unable to repair the computer automatically, where then I click to send information to Microsoft to be told that if I had all the devices attached like a camera or portable music player to remove them and restart. I have nothing set, no flash player or anything.

    Hi Austin,.

    You can try some of them in Mode safe - tap F8 repeatedly that you start.

    If you do not have a Windows 7 disc, you can borrow a friends because they are not a copy
    protected. The manufacturer of your system will also sell the physical DVD cheap since you already

  • "A problem has been detected and Windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer"... * STOP: 0x0000007e (0x805c49b8, 0xf7a172b4, 0 x 80000003, 0xf7a16fb0)... blue screen

    Hello!

    For the life of me I can't figure out how to get my machine to boot successfully. Nothing changes when I choose Safe Mode, last known good Configuration, enable VGA Mode, booting, Directory Services Restore Mode or Debug Mode logging.

    It's very stressful, because I'm right smack dab in the Middle a semester at the College. I have most of what I currently need access to supported illuminates... but not quite all :( It is also very reassuring to be able to take care of the school of work away from the library of the University. Yesterday, my computer was working fine... I think that Windows has completed an update, if I can't remember now. As I woke up this morning, I was not able to boot all the way to Windows only once.

    My laptop is a HP Pavilion dv6000 running XP Media Center, and I have not installed new hardware since I bought the machine about 3 years ago.

    Here are more details, where they can help in the diagnosis of my problem:

    • ID of the system board: 30BB
    • Type of processor: Genuine Intel(r) CPU T2250
    • Processor speed: 1730 MHz
    • Total memory: 1024 MB
    • Video memory up to: 128 MB
    • BIOS version: F.06

    Here's the entire message to the blue screen:
    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
    A problem has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

    If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

    Make sure you have enough disk space. If a driver is identified in the stop message, disable the driver or check with the manufacturer for driver updates. Try changing video cards.

    Check with your hardware vendor for updates to the BIOS. Disable the BIOS memory options such as implementing caching or shading. If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select advanced startup options, and then select Safe Mode.

    Technical information:

    STOP: 0X0000007E (0X805C49B8, 0XF7A172B4, 0 X 80000003, 0XF7A16FB0)
    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

    I also learned to a blue screen that says something about "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA". I think that this happens when I try to start safe mode.

    Also, I never did much with computer problems beyond what could be repaired with the restoration of the system... so not being is not able to boot at all me has to stop. Please, I beg you! Help me?!

    With great appreciation for your time,.

    Some HP partition the hard drive. have you tried to type F11 or F12 during startup (before that he go to the option mode start screen)? It might take you for a HP recovery program in that partition (because windows don't be loading not to use that recovery)

  • Preparing for first use Outlook.

    I applied office 2013 models and my user settings seem to be saved, but whenever I run outlook from a new non-persistent session application, it crosses the minute 5 "preparing for first use Outlook."

    Is this typical? any ideas how to make so that it can start normally as it would have done with the former manager of profile?

    Ok thank you

    Have you created an EMU config file to save the. OST /. With EMU PST file? If this isn't the case, would this then, that every time that you start Outlook, PST/OST files is created (preparation for first use Outlook)?

    The best way is to redirect your. OST /. PST file in the network or the user's home directory. (so if possible, try to find out why Outlook ignores your redirection)

    well, so that's what I've done so far, I have downloaded the kit of the student digital river, I originally ran Windows xp 32-bit, so when I ran first the exe download, it gave me the error of not being able to record in a single folder to read and what not, but I followed the suggestions on the forums to move forward a burn on a startup disk expandedsetup folder in converting it to an iso, which I did, I installed the first time but missed the option to format my hard drive so my old files were still there, however, once got installed win 7 I wasn't able to connect to internet for some strange reason and I couldn't understand it, so I decided to take the 3 files I downloaded originally from digital river and try their unpacking on the 64 bit OS now I had installed, it worked fine this time without any errors, so I moved the folder expandedsetup to my laptop and he burned them on a dvd as before, this time I boot from the dvd and do a clean install, it installs again very well, but once I login in the OS and I am getting started with things once again everything is grinding the long, I tried to restart and it does not work, this time it froze just a black before the paper screen, so once more, I started from the dvd and tried to do a clean install, but this time, he begins to hang during the part of expanding windows files, so I decide to make another disc using the second expandedsetup folder thinking that perhaps a new one was a bad burn, this does not work either, it takes about 14% of full on the extension of the windows files and then he told me that the files is not found, so I tried the second drive once again, we only got 4% until it gives me error on files is not found , so I put the first early in and try and suspension 4% right now and I expect to give me the same error, I have really no idea of happening, there are too many variables, but I tried to evaluate each of them, would be - this related material? my computer is compatible for win 7 64 bit, I ran the Upgrade Advisor before you buy, so I know that my hardware can run it, I think it's my dvd drive or the hard drive, but they both seem to run fine otherwise, any help would be appreciated

    Hello Impoc,

    Thanks for posting on the Community Forums of Microsoft Vista.

    Installation may stop if the system cannot copy files. Here are some possible causes and solutions for this problem:

    ·     Your Windows installation disc is scratched, smudged, or dirty. Clean the disc with a soft cloth, insert it in the CD or DVD drive, and then start the Windows installation again. If your installation disc is damaged, you may need to replace it. For more information, go to How to replace Microsoft software or hardware lost, broken or missing on the Microsoft Web site.

    ·     Your CD-ROM or DVD drive is not working properly or the disk might be vibrating too much for the laser correctly read data. For more information about this problem, see your hardware documentation or contact the manufacturer of the CD or DVD drive.

    ·     If your computer has multiple CD or DVD drives, your computer may attempt to locate files on the wrong drive. If your computer has a feature to disable CD or DVD drives that are not used, turn off readers that you don't use. Otherwise, try to insert the disc in a different drive, and then restart the installation.

    ·     There is a virus on your computer. Run an antivirus program to scan your system and to identify the necessary repairs. Don't forget to disable the antivirus before you start the installation again.

    Also, it is usually caused by hardware or software that is not compatible with Windows 7. If you have this problem, follow these steps:

    1. wait 10 minutes to see if the installation continues. Look at the led on the hard drive (often a small light on your computer that blinks when your hard drive is running) to see if there is no activity. If your hard drive seems to be working, the installation must be current. If your hard disk doesn't seem to work, go to step 2.

    2. If the installation fails again, it may be a hardware incompatibility problem. Go to the Windows Upgrade Advisor on the Microsoft website to see if your computer can run Windows 7.

    3. If you have compatible hardware and your computer still stops responding, disable any unnecessary hardware. Remove (USB) universal serial bus devices. Remove or disable network cards, sound cards and cards of the series; and then restart the installation.

    If you have more than 1 Memory stick on your computer, try to remove all but one RAM stick and try to install Windows 7.

    If the computer still stops responding during installation, you may need to contact your computer manufacturer or retailer to check if the computer is compatible with Windows 7.

    Note: This article is related to Windows Vista. However, you can follow the same steps with Windows 7.

    If the installation fails after following the steps above, try to note the exact error message and provide the same.

    It will be useful.

    Thank you and best regards,
