Windows could not configure one or two components of the system.

I get this message after completing my update, Vista Home Premium 64 Vista Ultimate 64. All solutions?

Hello

1 you have a Windows Ultimate Upgrade disc, a complete edition of the full Windows disk or a Windows Anytime Upgrade disc?

2 - is Windows XP or Windows Vista already exist on the computer before you install Windows Vista Ultimate?

Currently, I suggest referring to the following troubleshooting article and thread:

    I recently released and bought 4 hard to present itself as a raid 10 disks, now I use my motherboards onboard fakeraid an ihc10r. The cables are fine and when I try and install windows 7 (64 x pro) on each disk with raid and ahci disabled in the bios, windows installs fine. Now when I raid raid 10 disks windows install can see the drive and even then, I load the drivers just to be sure that iastor.sys etc. (I tried with and without) is the same every time after the first reboot, I get about 10 minutes and 2 minutes after the resolution of the screen is adjusted BOOM "installation of windows could not configure windows to run on a hardware on this computer."

    First of all, then someone please help me get windows installed on my raid?

    Second, microsoft, your error messages leave much to be desired, it does not yet add a message in the Setup error log.

    EDIT: Forgot to add that I did a memtest and it happened, I also have the piece of garbage jmicron on my MB off the power. In addition, the facility produces when the SATA controller is in AHCI mode, BUT not in raid mode.

    Seems to me that if the software/driver is not compatible Windows 7. Also if any of the readers have reminants of your installation for each individual unit, Windows 7 may not be able to deal with formatting during the installation process. Try to download CD bootable diagnostic of the manufacture in car and do two things.

    (1) check each drive individually for issues.

    (2) wipe the drive (WD can for example remove the first and last part of the training which completely removes the MBR and other reminants for the final result is the drive looks like you just removed from the box and plugged in for the first time.)

  • Internet connection issues "Limited or no connectivity." and "windows could not find a certificate to log on the network.

    I'm so unable to connect to the internet?

    Hello.

    I'm so unable to connect to the internet.

    Since I've renamed our WiFi network and add a WEP key, I have problems with wireless connection on my
    Windows XP computer desktop, which is a Dell Dimension 4700.

    The questions that I get connection are...

    "windows could not find a certificate to log on the network.

    "Limited or no connectivity."

    I did all the solutions I could try to fix the connection problem!

    1. once I received the message "limited or no connectivity", I click with the right button on the connection and click on repair. It is not always connect for me and I got the "limited or no connectivity message.»

    2. then, I disabled the network connection and then enabled. That no longer works.

    3. I tried to withdraw from the ordered list of connections, and it still doesn't work.

    4. I checked the driver manager, and initially the Ethernet driver was outdated and missing of its pilot. He had a yellow question mark with a black sign and yellow with an exclamation mark inside.

    5. I used DriverZone, downloaded the driver, installed and rebooted the computer after the installation of the it. Apparently, it worked. But I could not always connect.

    6 I have ensured that I entered the correct WEP key, and then adjust the settings correctly. I did it like 10 times in a row and would not always connect.

    7. I tried to go to the command prompt and typed in IP Config/All and that's what I mean.

    Windows IP configuration
    Node type: unknown
    Active IP routing: no
    WINS proxy enabled: no
    ETHERNET connection to the Local network card
    State of the media: Media disconnected
    Description: Intel PRO/100 VE Network Connection
    Ethernet card 2 wireless network connection:
    Suffix the connection-specific DNS: (EMPTY)

    8. after that, I typed the command: ipconfig/release
    and then I got this error...

    No operations can be performed on the connection to the local network, although it has its media disconnected.

    9. after that, I tried Googling for some solutions, and the solutions I found were not any use.
    A solution was

    10. opening of Services...
    Start | Run | Type: services.msc | Click OK |
    Scroll down to and double-click Client DNS | Set to automatic on startup
    type |
    Click apply | Click the Start button | When it starts, click OK
    Do the same for the DHCP Client.
    Do the same for the remote procedure call (RPC).

    and it still doesn't work.

    11. when I look in the menu network connections, I see my connection with a lock on the side, with a red X under the lock and key. In the description, I see not connected, protected by a firewall. How could I remove the internet connection firewall? I disabled the firewall and that did not work.

    12. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the network card and who does not work either.

    It is not the network itself that is the problem.  It is not the modem or the cable. There are no disconnected son or something like that. We have other computers in the House and the internet works fine on other computers. As I said, since I renamed our WiFi network and added a WEP password, I had problems with connecting to my Windows XP computer.

    My computer has updates that must be installed as well. Updates would fix the problem? I just need to have internet.

    What should I do? Thank you for your time.

    Sincerely,

    Justin

    Have you tried to set the value of the link speed/duplex mode? I had the same problem you describe. Your card is only capable of 10/100 communication.

  • Replacing hard drive, made restoration of the factory, get the message error "installing windows could not configure windows to run on a hardware on this computer."

    OS = Windows 7

    Computer = Gateway FX6840
    Media = gateway recovery media
    Hard drive is set to AHCI in BIOS

    I started meeting with S.M.A.R.T. errors.

    I backed up my data.

    I replaced 1 TB Seagate original with a new 2 hard drive to Seagate Barracuda SATA STBD2000101. Computer is equipped also is from the factory... no additional or modified facilities.

    I tried to restore Windows 7 from the rescue of the disks created with the "Gateway Recovery Management"

    Windows copying files over, the machine restarts, it installs the devices, then it stops at the "installation program starts services" and a window opens with the message "windows Setup could not configure windows to run on a hardware on this computer.

    I can't apply the Article ID: 2466753 because the process of restoration of the plant seems not provide an option to load a driver .

    Any help would be appreciated... Gateway is only interested to collect money.  They have no interest in serving the poor suckers who buy their products (computer is 2 years old so it is out of warranty).

    Thanks for the reply.

    Fortunately, I solved the problem myself (after 19 hours of stress).
    The problem is that the recent hard disk has something different that no longer ages and makes pre-service pack 1 (SP1 solves the problem) versions of Windows 7 incompatible. My set of recovery disks have been created the day I bought the computer, which had no windows updates installed at the time.

    There is an "easy solution" on the Microsoft support site: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2466753/en-us

    Unfortunately, their method works only if you have a Windows 7 installation disc, which does most of the people who buy computers pre-built manufacturers. Essentially, the solution is to install SP1 from a disc when don't give you the possibility to load drivers during installation, an option that the gateway recovery disks.

    So I thought that, theoretically, if I use my recovery discs to get a clean install on a hard drive that works, then use windows update to get updated (or at least to get SP1), and then make a set of NEW recovery disks (using windows backup: start > all programs > maintenance > Backup and Restore), I should be able to use these discs to install the new hard disk.

    It worked.

    So for someone else who has this same problem with new hard disks, I hope that the above is easy to understand. If not, ask someone else more savvy and show them this thread. Do not forget that at the end to create new recovery disks, it will ask you if you also want to create a 'system' repair disc. DO THIS! This is the disk that you need to start from when you are ready to install.

    Also: If your new hard drive is bigger than the one that you have created the new recovery disks, the partition on your new hard drive (once everything is installed) will be the same size as the one that you have created the records on. You will need to use a kind of editor of score for re - size. I recommend Gnome Partition Editor. http://www.gparted.org

    Burn gparted Live CD and him, resize your partition, and you're done (google for more in-depth instructions).

  • Want J010dx m7: windows will not start until after full recovery of the system with new HARD drive

    Hello world

    I need help here.

    My HP envy m7 J010dx works perfectly with my original hard drive (1 TB).

    I am preparing a second HDD (NEW 320) as backup.

    I took off the Moose HDD (1 TB) and replace it with the NEW HARD drive (320GB) and try to do a full recovery of the system with the HP recovery DVD.

    After full system recovery and laptop computer needs to be restarted in order to continue, the laptop keeps restarting on the logo of windows 8.

    I think it says device not found Boot. Also a test using the UEFI tool material HP and all pass.

    Replacing the NEW HARD drive with the original of the old HARD drive and it start normally.

    What can go wrong here in this case? Thank you very much for the help.

    Concerning

    John

    OK, I read through the thread and this is my point of view on this based on works including restore process with the user created a recovery (UCRDs) media which the user indicated that they used.

    If you just want to jump to the conclusion at the bottom, you can see my opinion. If you want to know 'why' Please read the entire post.

    Model No.: m7-j010dx

    Product #: E0K83UA #ABA

    Ships OS: Windows 8 (64-bit)

    Recovery HP part No. Kit: 730336-002 (3 DVDs + extra)

    User replaced the HARD drive with a 1 TB hard drive 5400 RPM with HP ProtectSmart hard drive Protection a new hard drive is a Seagate Momentus 7200.4 ST9320423AS 320 GB 7200 RPM 16 MB Cache SATA 3.0 GB / s 2.5 "Notebook internal hard drive.

    With the help of UCRDs sent media recovery media (SSRDs):

    When the UCRDs are created, only the drivers for the HW operation (this is a critical point, that I will look later) are burned to the user created a recovery media.  Consider this a snapshot of the current HW, the base drivers and software applications.   If you change the HW on your laptop or desktop where the additional device requires a different driver for these features, a few questions you might - recovery process could stop because he can't find the right driver, a blue screen, a lack of start-up or other unstable system.

    A few years ago, I had a PC that would not recover because the Blu - ray (ODD) optical disk drive did not work.  I replaced the WEIRD Blu - ray with a generic DVD/CD burner into the new part of Blu - ray is presented.   I got the PC using SSRDs thinking I would put some time and just install the Blu - ray after the PC has been recovered.   The PC recovered and when the new Blu - ray showed I installed the unit and guess what?  All PCs have shown in Device Manager and applications was a generic ODD - no Blu - ray capability and ability to read Blu - ray content in the default HP provided for multimedia applications delivered with the PC.  Applications were there but no Blu - ray capability.

    Huh?  It looks that I did not put any time at all.

    I inserted the new Blu - ray ODD and distributed recovery with the HP SSRDs.

    After recovery, I had all the Blu - ray drivers and applications supported Blu - ray.

    The difference between UCRDs and SSRDs:

    UCRDs provide a glimpse of what is installed and functional both disks are created.

    Version Digest of the player on what is happening with SSRDs to retrieve a PC (before Windows 10):

    SSRDs have all the drivers for all the HW and SW qualified for the unit.  There may be several drivers for hard drives, different types/screen resolutions, sides, etc.  Based on the characteristics of the specific laptop / desktop a process is run called "Do / don't.   After entering the recovery SDRD, the Notebook media boots to Recovery Manager.  The first step is a raw copy of all the contents of the disc on a temporary partition.  Following the Do / do not process looks at the characteristics of this specific unit and remove all other drivers and applications not used by this device.  Drivers and the only successful applications are the features supported.   And then, the new operating system and recovery partition is created.   The PC end recovery of cleaning process and restart the laptop / desktop. And, Yes, you guessed it, if you create the user created a recovery media, you only have the drivers for HW devices and applications of HP on the PC at the time.

    So, that being said, what could be the cause/solution?

    Hard drives can be different enough so that a different driver (not the UCRDs) is necessary for the newly installed HW.

    The SSRDs are supported on the new HARD drive installed?

    I don't know, I have an office boy, and I have not tried on this model of laptop.

    If you have / acquire SSRDs, I recover the laptop with the new installed HARD drive and see if it works.  It may or may not.  I don't know what drives were qualified for this laptop.

    If this does not work, the last option is cloning via USB connection (old HARD drive in the PC, new HARD drive connected to a USB 3 via the SATA Adapter (dongle) USB port, install or download software cloning and cloning the old HDD to the new.)   I just did this on the two older Windows 7 computers laptops using a SanDisk Ultra kit.  He has worked on both units.

    Conclusion:

    I don't think that the problem is caused from a HARD drive of 1 to a 320 GB HARD drive, as it meets the minimum specs for a complete installation.  I think the problem is related to the use of UCRDs to retrieve and the UCRDs do not have the HARD driver/firmware/application disc.

    But then again, I know.
