Windows 7 upgrade CD will not start to convert the XP PC. All all?

I am upgrading a Dell XP PC to Windows 7.  I received a report of own Compatabillty, but when I insert the Update CD flashes then stops after a few minutes.  I have a 32-bit PC and tried using W7 Pro and W7 Home Premium.  Both give the same results.  The recommendations?

I just realized what is the problem.  I have a CD player in the PC, I want to upgrade, and the upgrade to W7 is a DVD.  I intend do not move files to the DVD upgrade on a flash drive and install the upgrade from the flash drive.  Thanks for the reply!

It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  • Vista will not start. Verifying the integrity of system files and repair has no ErrorCode = 0 x 2 HELP PLEASE!

    ASUS PC, Windows Vist Home premium, all updates.

    Out of the blue, it will not start.  Access the start scrolling (the one just before logon) screen and it just stops.

    Twice I ran Vista check utility.  The first time, I chose to do the system restore to previous state.  Restarted.  Always off.  The second time, it took much longer and from what I can see.  All TESTS PASS, except one:

    Repair action: repair and checking of the filesystem Integrety

    Result: failed. Error code = 0 x 2

    Time required: 6206818ms

    I get no blue screen, I can't even any screen!

    I'm triying to repar because I have several costly software titles that link the authorization key code to a key hardware and software installation.  I don't know that I could reinstall if I get a code (randomly?) different generated software.

    I don't know about i-tunes and other content downloaded my wife has such as MP3 files and audio books.

    Thanks for any help!

    The test fails (SFC) checks for corruption in the files on your system.  If she can't even complete, she suggests the Vista all system needs to be re-installed - but you have already done this and you still have the problem.

    In fact, look like a hardware problem.  Here are some troubleshooting guidelines hardware that can help (but probably not for this question as what you really need, it is a replacement for test):http://elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Hardware_Tshoot.  Frankly, I think it's time to take the system to a repair facility of good reputation for the service computer (or to return to the manufacturer for repair - costs, schedule, guarantees and make a decision).  I don't know what hardware component.

    If you can, try to back up your data before you import it it because they will probably wipe the drive clean during the process. You can use Knoppix http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html with a good ISO as Copier: http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm as well as a blank CD (perhaps done on another computer).  This should give you enough access to the system (if you do not have any other means) to backup your important data.  Otherwise, try slaving the drive to another system and access the data in this way.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

    My brother is running windows Vista, and the application help and Support Windows will not start.  The exact wording is:

    "Help and Support could not start.  For more information, contact your system administrator or visit http://windowshelp.microsoft.com"

    Clicked on the link but no help at all.  A system restore would work, and if yes, what are the other effects there - he will have to reinstall all windows updates, service packs, etc.. ?

    I could restore just the request of assistance?  If so, what files can I restore and where are they located?

  • whenever I touched icon it will not start and sent the report but heard nothing back

    Since yesterday, when I click on the firefox icon that it does not start, it shows the screen of crash reporter and said that he will attempt to restart, but when I type restarts, it crashes again. When I hit exit firefox sends report but ive heard nothing back. not sure if I need to download the new copy or wait for the response.

    You can check if you can start Firefox in Safe Mode by holding down the shift/Options key.

  • Envy 17 j120na: 10 Windows will not start because of the driver installation failed

    History:

    I have a computer laptop j120na Envy 17 that came with windows 8.1.

    I did the free upgride for windows 10 the 18th of this month with success, but because I was not able to decrease or increase the brightness of my computer, or put it to sleep, I realized that I still had to download/update drivers. First I updated the driver GeForce since my SWsetup folder but for the other, I searched online for her, then I saw the driver download progress bar but no progress has been made. I closed the dialog close and there you go, laptop does not start, I just saw a spark between the mouse pointer and the circular blue contraption. Sometimes he shows me a BSOD with lock core auto boost with irql higher acquisition.

    Question:

    Is this a problem with the driver installation? And if so, how do I return it?

    P.s: System Restore is not an option, I restore point.

    Hi there @Aj1baba,

    Thank you for joining the Forums HP's Support and welcome! It is a great place to ask questions, find solutions and assistance of HP and the community! I read your post on the Forums of HP Support. I wanted to join you and help! I understand that you are receiving an error message that says "acquisition of lock core auto boost with irql high ' on your HP ENVY 17-j120na Notebook PC.

    The question could be deemed to occur by downloading the update. It is difficult to say at this stage. As to return to it, your best bet would have been the restoration of the system, but you mentioned only that a system restore does not work because you do not have restore points.

    Have you tried to go into Safe Mode?

    You have media or recovery disk?

    Have you tried to do a Reset BIOS?

    Have you tried perform a hard reset?

    You have beep codes or flashing LEDs?

    Please ensure that all Bluetooth device that you use with the laptop is disabled (including mobile phone).

    Please note: delete all USB/Bluetooth devices. Disconnect all devices of non-essential, as these can cause some problems.

    You can update all your drivers by going to the Web site the driver HP or by using the HP Support Assistant. If you enter Safe Mode, I suggest trying to erase the driver that you have downloaded your downloads (or the folder that you saved it in), so I suggest to make updates using updates of Windows or HP Support Assistant for now.

  • Windows xp pro sp3 will not start corrupted boot.ini and hal.dll - please help

    I installed Norton 360 offred via internet was last updated.  It immediately launched all applications previously disabled at STARTUP in msconfig.  And shortly after he started to gives me the blue screen "to the death".  This done in two days, and I was desperately trying to solve the problem by turning off almost all applications critical to running Windows XP Pro SP3, Norton and Office 2007 Home and student.  I even went and tried to edit the Boot.ini file in startup and recovery under the Advanced tab in the workstation properties.  Now all I get is an error message Windows cannot start because the hal.dll file is missing or damaged.  I replaced it by copying a modified version of the boot sequence, while the hard drive of my laptop was enslaved to my desktp PC, but nothing helped.  I can't even the Recovery Console to start on my laptop.  I need HELP, please.

    These profile errors are usually caused by one of the following:

    1-profile corruption.  The user profile is damaged and that Windows cannot load.  To resolve this issue, create a new user profile and move your files to the new profile.   See here for more information:

    How to copy data from a corrupted to a new profile in Windows XP user profile

    2 drives or corruption of the file system.  Run chkdks /f on the volume C:.  Please note that there is ALWAYS a risk of data loss when chkdsk is run on a volume, ideally, you should have a backup of your files before running chkdsk.

    3 - virus or malware activity.  Some of these parasites can revoke your permissions on the folder of your profile, check the permissions on "C:\Documents and Settings\Andre" and make sure you have a full control on the folder.  Check this box until you try #1 or 2 above.

    Some of these parasites can also revoke your permissions in key areas of the registry and create real Dany on the machine that can prevent you to run some of your software.  Use Regedit to load your old profile hive (NTUSER. (DAT) in your profile folder (C:\Documents and Settings\Andre\NTUSER. (DAT) and make sure you have full control over the key.  In the advanced security settings to ensure that the child objects are inherit permissions from the parent and put a check mark on "replace entries permissions for all child objects...". "Click on apply and OK your way out.  See here for easy to follow instructions for loading and editing of remote registry hives: http://www.rwin.ch/xp-live/regedit.htm make sure you unload the hive when you're done, otherwise the changes will not be saved.

  • After application of update Windows Vista SP2, FSX will not start

    FSX is not started after that I applied Windows VISTA Sp2. When the process is considered to be a task manager, FSX.exe seems to CPU to make loops. Are there not the method to solve something?

    Hi BuyIntel,

    Thanks for posting on the Forum of answers.

    I suggest to backup your saved games and reinstall the program.
    Something in the Service Pack may have corrupted some aspects of FSX, this should solve it.

    I suggest also to visit your video card manufacturers website to download the latest drivers and re-installation of the unit.

    I hope this helps.

  • Windows 8 will not start even with the CD after uninstalling Linux

    Hi, I am currently faced with problems with my Dell Inspiron with Windows 8 3520 is installed. I had been dual-boot it with Linux Mint for a while with no problems until I decided to go completely back using Windows for convenience.  As I had installed Linux by creating a partition I followed online guides to remove the partition on which it was found, and expand the partition holds Windows to its original size. This seemed to go off without incident, until I tried to delete Grub and got to the start of the back straight to Windows computer. I followed a couple of different guides without result and finally ran a program called Boot Repair that just make things worse. After you run the program, my computer began to start directly on a screen of recovery with the error message:

    Boot your pc configuration data is missing or contains errors
    File: \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD
    Error code = 0xc000000f

    After that happened, I called Dell and pushed them to send a disk of Windows 8 for me, so I could try a clean reinstall, I thought I'll fix it. Unfortunately it allows me to boot the disk. Everytime I try (when entering the BIOS and selecting the CD drive to boot from the disc) I get a message saying missing operating system, along with various things I can provide if required, and ending in asking me to insert the bootable media in the selected drive, press which just repeated the same message again. I ' v read on various fixes online without result, most who ask me to change the CD in first priority which I can't do is not listed as an option in the menu accessed by pressing F2 BIOS. I tried to add my CD drive option, but when I click in it, instead of getting the readers of CD or something like that, I get a menu called select Media Driver with options like this:

    WDC WD10JPVT-75A1YTP - Partition 1

    the only difference between them being the partition to which they are assigned, 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6. If I press on enter on any of this that it brings me to another menu called select media with a variety of different options, which change depending on the partition that I chose, which none means nothing to me. I don't know enough to try anything more, and even people at Dell seem to be at a loss. Any help would be much appreciated because I am completely lost at this point and this is my first laptop.
