• Boot Camp Windows Installation 10 - "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. It's the GPT partition style.

  Hello

  I tried to dual boot Windows 10 alongside OS X El Capitan on my iMac 21.5 inch i5 end 2013. I have followed all the instructions in the Boot Camp assistant, restart, choose the yellow 'Windows' drive to boot from, but when I get to the Windows installation, enter the product key and language, and then select the partition (0-4, the partition Disk Partition) it tells me that "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is the GPT partition style. »

  So I found this answer: How do I install Windows 8.1 on Haswell MBP

  But then I received the same error.

  Tried this: http://macriot.com/mcrt/?p=2362

  But fdisk TPG allow me to change anything, as the SIP is enabled.

  Tried to disable SIP via a command line in a terminal in recovery mode, but got an error-bash: command not found csrutil.

  So now I'm stuck on all fronts. Any ideas?

  Thank you

  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.

• Re-install Windows 7 error "windows cannot be installed on a computer by using the power of the battery."

  Hello

  Compatibility report

  "windows cannot be installed on a computer using battery power. If the battery is discharged during the installation, you can lose data. to continue the installation plug into the computer power adapter.

  any help would be appreciated

  Dean

  Most laptops have two power circuits separated when on AC, one to charge the battery and the other to run on the system board. It seems rather that the second circuit has failed, if the laptop power PIN is multi pole so it could be the power supply but it is rare.

  Check the label of the PSU manufacturers, if he makes mention of both voltages or two nominal currents, it is perhaps interesting to try a different PSU.

• "windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is the GPT partition style. »

  I want to convert Windows 8 for windows 7, but it pops up like this: ""windows cannot be installed to this disk. " The selected disk is the GPT partition style. »

  so, I format the OS partition but it always seems the same problem. ? What should I do, I can't delete or format the data partition because it just my backup data.

  It is a problem with the way that you start from Installation

  Reboot and press F12
  You should see 2 similar startup options on the installation disc you started with
  Try both of them, one of them will work
  This fixed it for me when I faced this problem
  If this does not work for you, check the BIOS settings

• Error: "the patch cannot be installed by the Setup program because the program is missing" during installation and Service Pack 2 for Corel Draw X 3.

  original title: corel draw X 3 need a file to upgrade to work and will not install Windows install. I am running XP

  Windows Installer won't install Corel Draw X 3 patch for Corel SP1 and SP2.  Corel X 3 was released at the end of the 1980s, well before updates from Microsofts SP.

  These files are patches for the X 3 program and have nothing to do with Microsoft SP 1, 2 and 3.

  The error that gives the installer of windows, is that the patch cannot be installed by the installer, because the program is missing (which is not the case) or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program, (which he did... this fix is designed especially for the X 3 only and is in fact the upgrade for him.)

  It says to check that I have the program on my computer and I have the appropriate fix. (What I'm doing.)
  NOTE:
  Last week I had to remove Corel X 3 from my computer and re-install. After that, I couldn't get the patch installed, and it needs those 2 patches to work properly.

  I am running XP Pro with MS Service pack 3 on my computer.  I have Intel pentium 4, 2944 usable Mg 300Ghz installed memory 266,80 GB of free space on 2 hard drives.

  Another site said a faulty windows installer can cause "out of memory" errors and has spent in Corel Draw so I deleted and reinstalled as I've mentioned above. Any ideas on how to get this installed?  Hope you can help, I don't know where to turn to the next if not. Corel does not support this program because of his age. I can't afford to update at the moment so I have a problem here. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you

  Been away in a few days. Just in case anyone else has this problem, I found the answer. It's one of those moments DUHHH.

  If you use the version of Corel Draw X 3 13.0.0.739, there already = sp1 and sp2 patches and pre-installed horfix.

  Should check that the first step, but I thank you

  David Vinod to try to help this sometimes fictitious.

• Error: "Windows cannot be installed to this disk.

  I do a custom installation of Windows 7 64-bit and am boot from upgrade retail DVD. Motherboard is an Intel D975XBX . I have the latest version of the BIOS from Intel. I do not use the integrated RAID SATA Silicon Image controller and hear my SATA to emulate IDE mode in the BIOS. During the startup of Windows 7 DVD, it always tells me that he needs additional drivers, so I point to the latest drivers from Silicon Image Vista 64-bit Intel, and he proceeds to the next screen.

  Then I get the screen that shows me the list of my disks and partitions that asks where I want to install Windows. On every single disc I click on, at the bottom of the dialog box, I see a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark and the message "what Windows can not be installed on the disk ...". "When I click on the"View details"link next to it, I see a dialog box that says:"Windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Make sure that the drive controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu. "

  I have four SATA drives, three that I use for several years with Windows XP. The fourth disc is a brand new Western Digital 750 GB that I bought just for Windows 7, so that I can dualboot. I can boot fine in XP, I see all four drives very well and I used the XP Disk Manager to format the new 750 GB drive.

  To repeat: I get the "Windows cannot be installed to this disk" on all readers listed: a vacuum brand new, one that starts well in XP and the other two that I use to store data for the instance of my XP.

  I searched on Microsoft Answers, as well as through the internet for a tip on how to solve this and found nothing.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you
  Bill

  The only possible answer for you is to find Windows 7 compatible drivers for the Sata controller or get a new controller.

• E540: Dolby Advanced Audio v2 cannot be installed on the new SSD

  Hello

  the Dolby Advanced Audio v2 question keeps grinding my gears. The situation:

  I added a second drive (SSD) successfully to the E540, everything works and is configured correctly. I still have the disk original in place and achieved 8.1 Windows (x 64) installed on both drives. However, I can't run Dolby Advanced Audio v2 when starting Windows Setup (fees) on the SSD. Just after starting, or you try to start the application, there is a Windows error message telling me that the Dolby-driver cannot be executed, and I have to reinstall the application if the error continues to exist.

  When booting from the original HARD disk there is no problem with Dolby Advanced Audio v2, the application works very well. Every time booting from SSD error message appears.

  I know that it is a known problem and I read all of the information that is out there on the internet. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the DRIVERS on C: several times record, everything was installed in orders different and tried almost all of the combinations use the audio CONFIGURATION, Setup in DOLBY, the UIUa64 and so on. I can't install correctly Dolby Advanced Audio v2 on the new SSD. The installation ends and Dolby Advanced Audio v2 is displayed in the list of installed programs, but at the end of the installation, the error message also occurs.

  (I followed exactly the solutions reported for other systems, but none of them worked for me. Please tell me in what order I should run the driver setup (s) for my E540 if you think that it is a source of possible error).

  I don't really know what could cause the error during the (apparently) accurate installation still work when starting from the original HARD drive? I would really really appreciate advice that could help me solve the problem.

  See you soon

  (PS: I speak not of Dolby Digital Plus, but Advanced Audio v2!) The Dolby Digital Plus the user interface is available on the SSD. The sound quality varies considerably between the two installations of Windows on the SSD and HARD drive and the loss of sound quality is unacceptable for me.)

  I found the solution to my problem in this thread:

• My xp upgrade window window error 7 "Windows cannot be installed to this disk pahrd space.

  Original title: update my Windows xp to Windows 7.

  Edit: Switched from Windows XP to Windows 7.

  Hi, I'm installing ion window 7 my laptop which is a window XP, when I install on a partition, it says: Windows cannot be installed to this disk pahrd space. Windows must be installed on a partition formatted in NTFS. What does that mean?

  Hi Steven,

  Thanks for the details.

  The error message indicates that you need convert a Partition to the NTFS file system. Because Windows XP supports two disk file systems: the table of allocation of file (FAT) file system and the file system NTFS and Windows 7 supports NTFS only if you need to convert the partition to NTFS first to start the installation.

  You can take the help of the article next to use Convert.exe to convert a Partition to the NTFS file system, and then try to upgrade or install Windows 7.
