• Windows XP installation hangs when the BIOS is set to AHCI

  I have Windows 7 on my computer. It has a motherboard Asus P8Z77 - V LX with the AHCI BIOS.

  Now, I would like to install Windows XP to a dual boot set up so that my son can continue to play some of their old games XP.

  When I tried to install XP, I got the BSOD during the first phase of the installation process.

  Internet research, I discovered that Windows needs a controller AHCI driver and that I could use F6 to install the appropriate driver to a diskette during installation or wake the driver in a Windows installation CD using a program called nLite. I chose the latter because there are no floppy drive on the computer. I chose the version XP 32 bit Intel (R) series 7/216 Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller to wake.

  I used my newly created installation disk and the initial phase of installation is fine, but after the first reboot, just like the Windows XP GUI interface appeared, the system crashed, rebooted and crashed again.

  The only way I could get XP install was to change the BIOS to IDE, then it installed fine. But Windows 7 does not load unless I have change the AHCI BIOS so that's what I've done so far.

  Suggestions as to how I can either get XP to install in AHCI mode or change it to AHCI mode, once it has been installed in IDE mode?

  OK, my apologies, it seems I have didn't read entirely your answer. I have BSOD stop 7B have treated several times and has been guilty of inaccurate "quick read".

  However, I gave you a possibility through response to your last paragraph...

  install the drivers for XP AHCI as it is started in IDE mode, and then change the AHCI BIOS

  .. have you tried this? What were the results?

  After thinking a bit about this possibility, it may be a good idea to restart in IDE mode after installing the AHCI driver before then stopping and switching to AHCI mode.

  As far as I know there are only two possibilities for the installation of the AHCI driver when installing XP. You dismissed one of them (Setup F6 disk) and you say that the other does not have a bootable system. Maybe you could try to "slipstreaming" once again, in which case the process did not work properly. Where did you get the drivers from making the wake? Was it the same place as the link I posted above? Absence of "slipstreaming" or the purchase of a (cheap) floppy drive, my only suggestion is that I repeated above.

  Finally, can you confirm that it is stop 7B that you get? If not what stop do you receive?

• Windows 7 hangs at the installation screen now

  try to install windows 7 download, gets to the install now screen, but won't go any further. Have tried all disconnection of machine, check disk etc. Nothing seems to change cannot pass through this point.

  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 lost, broken, or missing Microsoft software or hardware 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.

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

  Wait about 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.

  Uninstall all antivirus software, and then restart your computer. Don't forget to enable antivirus software after you install Windows.

• HP Psc 1610 all-in-one: Hp psc 1610 without Windows installation

  I'm trying to see if my printer will be able to work without the Windows installation disc. I have a HP PSC 1610 all-in-one printer. I'll buy the cable from Sun to hang it to the top, but I can't find the drive mentioned in the installation program. I don't know if it makes a difference, but I have a MacBook Air with Windows. Comments would be appreciated for what I can determine if I need to buy a new printer.

  Hello Tarasinha2,

  You can have a facility pending that hangs. Check the following in the Windows registry to see if there are waiting for the installation/s:
  WARNING: Change the REGISTRY settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk.
  a. the empty registry key "InProgress".

  Check the following registry key: HKey_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\InProgress

  and clean all the entries that you find.

  b. empty/rename "PendingFileRenameOperations" registry key:

  Check the following registry key: HKey_Local_MachineSystem\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\PendingFileRenameOperations

  and clean all the entries that you find.

  Then restart and check if you can re-enable Windows Fax.

  Thank you

• Windows XP hangs at the splash screen, safe mode does not work either

  I've updated my laptop with a windows update and when I went to restart, it crashes just in the start screen.  I tried in safe mode hanging at MUP. SYS and I tried the last known configuration.  So far these options do not work.  I tried Memtest, HDAT2, Ultimate Boot CD tests, chkdsk/p and chkdsk/r, Windows XP, CD recovery and rebuild, tried to start up with each opening of USB port and even tried formatting and installing Windows XP Pro SP2 and Windows XP Home Edition SP1.  So far I have always in step 1, where nothing has solved nothing.

  I noticed that there is a thread here where a person has had the same problem and he said that it has updated its BIOS.  For hours, now I did research on how update my BIOS by creating a bootable disc...  I'm thumbs on a mile it looks. Here is a link to the thread with the person who had the same problem. http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/XPRepair/thread/2b3f344c-F923-4D84-868d-c0be603e601b

  I've been on the forums of Toms Hardware for more than a week with a little support, but so far, nothing has worked. http://www.TomsHardware.com/Forum/253683-45-wont-load-hangs-splash-screen#t916360

  I could use any help we can on it.  It would be deeply appreciated!  My email is * address email is removed from the privacy *.

  Well I tried to Win 7 on a bootable disc.  I followed a bunch of instructions I found on youtube.com, but for some reason that I could not burn to disc.  Kept getting an error even if I followed every perfect step.

  In any case, I watched my CMOS on compensation, but the battery is soldered on.  I just messed with it a little bit to see if it was lost or anything thing but I didn't rip out and one other solder on because I have never done this before.  So I put everything back together, turned on my laptop and it finally starts up the Windows installation screen.  FINALLY!  Thanks for everyone's help and patience.  I guess the battery has lost... but not quite sure.  I left the laptop off for about 4-5 days before I tried to play with the CMOS this morning.

  Daavee, thanks for your help on this.  I learned all troubleshooting and making the ISO.  Have a good Christmas!

  1. your iMac end 2013 supports the facilities of BIOS/MBR and GPT/EFI.

  2. the legacy BIOS/MBR method requires a hybrid MBR.

  3 EFI/GPT is recommended for your specific model.

  4. you can use the GPT Fdisk steps in your link to make your drive a GPT disk only. It is not enough.

  5. you will need to convert the FAT32 partition space using the following OS X Terminal

  diskutil eraseVolume free disk0s4 FREE

  This will return an error, because free space is not associated with disk slices.

  6. at this point, use the USB installer created by the wizard of BC, boot from it and hold down the Alt/Option key and select Boot EFI (not Windows). Point to the portion of the free space that you see after the + 620 MB Recovery HD. It will separate into a small (128 MB) MSR and the rest as MSD (NTFS).

  7. do not install W7 in Boot EFI, because it has some difficulties.

  8. when Windows is installed, and BC drivers are not installed, run setup.exe from the Bootcamp folder.

  9. If csrutil is not found, you are in the recovery of the Internet, because your local Recovery HD is corrupted. The rescue of the failure of the local recovery is restoration of Internet. Your must be on El Capitan. There is no csrutil (or SIP) before El Capitan.

• iMac 2015 Unable to Boot Camp and Windows Installer

  I've been back and forth with a Service guy to customers by phone, but thought I'd throw so the question in the case to see if there were others who have experienced similar problems and might be able to help.

  I have an iMac, retina 5K, 27 - in, end of 2014. It allows to launch the Boot Camp with Windows 8.1, which I put in place about 1 year ago. It worked very well. But then, I decided to try to upgrade to Windows 10 about 3 weeks, which is not well. Decided to erase the partition via the wizard Boot Camp and re - install from scratch.

  Now, I can not install Windows at all. I've tried everything. Using another ISO downloaded from the Windows website. Check disks using first aid. Last night I even totally erased the readers (via the terminal in recovery mode, with the help of the man of CS) and made a "Reinstall internet" of the operating system and then tried in boot camp. Without success.

  I tried to call Microsoft too, but their position on the whole thing is "this is on a Mac, this is the problem to Apple. Bye. »

  Appearances, Assistant Boot Camp is successfully created a partition. The system resets the Windows installation each time and I spend the flow rate of the installation until I get to the section "where you want to install Windows? I select my Bootcamp partition, format and then click Next. That's when I get the error message "we could not create a new partition or locate an existing one. For more information, see the Setup logs files. »

  If I quit the installer and restart on the side OSX, I see that the new partitions is to Windows NTFS, so it seems ok. I am completely puzzled and frustrated as * at this stage.
