Windows 7 Installer error "Setup could not use the existing system partition because it does not contain the required free space.
Repeatedly tried to install the upgrade to windows 7 and pure install and get the error message on all partitions available "Setup could not use the existing system partition because it does not contain the required free space. All 3 partitions on a single disk have over 90 GB and separated from the disc more than 65 GB of free space according to the properties of the disk and initial screen during installation. Tried to reformat a partition empty all reinstall Xp sp3 without result. What can I do?
Remove the data cable of all drives except the drive that you want to install Windows 7 on.
Remove all external devices.
Delete all partitions on the disk leave all of the disc as "unallocated".
Boot from the Windows 7 DVD and then install, when you reach the point where it asks you to select a drive, click the "Advanced" option and create a new partition (at least 50 GB) to install Windows and continue with the installation process.

Hello
Some antivirus/security products may cause this error. McAfee, Norton, Windows Live OneCare.
ThreatFire are some. What antivirus/antispyware/security products do you have on machine now? And
who have you ever on it, even if you have uninstalled them? (These leave the remains that can cause some)
strange questions.)Check the default services and dependencies to ensure that they are running.

I had Windows Vista ultimate on my Dell Studio laptop which consisted of 3 partitions (OS, recovery and OME).
In order to complete a clean install, I deleted all partitions and create a new 1 and formatted it, but I am informed that the installation was unable to create a new partition system or locate an existing partition.
I tried in IDE and ACHI, but neither enable Sir to go beyond that. I am booting from the CD with Windows 7. If someone is able to help, they explain in layman's terms, as I am a relative novice.
Thank you
As the drive was provided by Dell, you need to talk with them.
The disc could be waiting to see the things that you have deleted.
It can also be a type of completely different facility than the normal installation of Microsoft discs.
You would have more than likely been OK if you would leave the formatting alone and partitoning.

Report Windows 7 Application Error Invalid ID for using the Page 0xffa0 and use 0xa1
I applied a windows update a few months (through automatic updates) and now I get the error message after any time I restart my laptop. I have a Dell Studio laptop - about 2 years. Originally with Vista and later upgraded to Windows 7. I didn't get this error when I upgraded to Windows 7 - only later after that a windows update has been applied. I can't get rid of this error message or having any idea it came from.
Hi JAMA004,
· Are you able to boot to the desktop?
· You receive this error on startup?
· Have you updated all drivers installed on your computer?
1 check the updates have been installed before the number: see the Windows updates are installed:http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/See-which-Windows-updates-are-installed
2 start the clean boot computer and check if the problem still persists. Link below will help you to start the computer in clean boot:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
If the problem does not persist, you can continue with step 2 from the link above.
Clean boot, helps us know if third-party or applications software is conflicting and causing this problem.
Make sure that you reset the computer in step 7 normal after that troubleshooting is complete.

Error message: could not power on VM: no space is available on the device.
Hello
I'm new to ESX and I increased the memory of the 1856 2048 GB VM memory. What I did not understand where is the space to and how do I know that I currently have and / or help.
Thank you
-Mike
Morning Mike,.
Ooops missed the second part. What we normally do is to allow all the VMS being powered up with their allocations of memory present (therefore VMDK + swap) and allow then 20-30G for growth. This could be an additional memory, disks or storage VMotions expansion.
Kind regards

having a problem installing drivers for a new Epson printer scanner all in a WF-2530 on my desktop using windows vista
error message "could not launch the required program during installation, check the installation disc, then re-run the installer.
I managed to install the software on my laptop using windows 7.
spending some time with epson tech dept, after several attempts to solve the problem, they advised that it was a problem with the microsoft software.
have tried to install it on the internet from the site of epson, but same error
any help would be greatly appreciated
< have="" tried="" installing="" over="" internet="" from="" epson="" website="" but="" same="">
Do you mean that you have downloaded the Epson driver?Try using the wizard adding printer in the Control Panel, printers. In the wizard, select EPSON under manufacturer. If you don't see your printer in the list, click the Windows Update button. It will take several minutes (about 20) be patient, Windows updates the list. You should see a hard drive activity during the update.
If that wouldn't work, try to run the System File Checker:

So I tried to get this to work at least for a day now, but whenever I try to launch my new game I'm away I kept getting this error: "your DirectX Runtime is up-to-date. Download and install this file from Microsoft. ' When I was re-directed I downloaded, it opens and clicks on agreed and all this things, but after 10 seconds initialization, it gave me this error: "Setup could not download the file. Please try again later or check the connection to the network. " I checked all that nothing seemed to be wrong, I did it again and again and again. So I just went to a solution or any news for DirectX. So far, no luck.
I am running on DirectX 11 right now, is if there is a new DirectX or am I a jerk, and that is a different problem? I can't understand it.
Thank you
