Windows Installer error saying that my drive's mbr, although it is really TPG.

Hello

I really hope you can help me with my problem.

I have a retina of Macbook pro mid 2012 with a 256 GB ssd, installed with El captain.

I am train via boot camp to make a partition with Windows 10.

Windows setup via a San Disk 16 GB USB 3.0 purchased for this purpose.

Everything going smoothly until the part where you install windows.

Boot camp every reboot my Mac it comes up with a black screen saying "Non system disk. Press any key to restart '.

No matter what button I press it is not restart. I found myself pressing the power button until it stop. Then put it on again and pressing the ALT key.

Here I have two options Macintosh HD or EFI boot. I choose to start EFI. Windows Installer starts.

During the windows setup process where you choose which partition you want to install top says (after that I formatted to ntfs):

(translated from Danish) "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is the MBR. In EFI systems windows can be installed only on GPT disks.

Funny, it's just that my ssd is TPG. My USB drive is as well, I tried formatting with my mac, a computer windows and Rufus. All said that it is the TPG.

I tried to format my USB drive and partition my ssd using only the discutility and not the boot camp program. Same result.

I tried to make the unallocated space on my ssd so that install Windows could make the partition it self (I read this discussion in here) does not work either.

I tried with gdisk and the terminal to do what was suggested in another threat here, but the terminal told me that the partitions were on top of the other or something like that. And who were my technical abilities and courage run out. I would ruin not rather my precious Mac and terminal gave a few warnings.

Can someone help me? I would be very grateful.

You have a few different questions.

1. your drive is a GPT with a hybrid MBR disk. Check the output of the following command in Terminal

sudo fdisk/dev/disk0

2. If you choose to boot from USB EFI and BCA creates a hybrid MBR, you will get the error you describe.

3. your USB drive isn't supposed to be TPG, it takes a FAT/MBR.

4. When you press the button works / stop, the partial installation of Windows will appear when you use the Alt key. Information Windows startup is now resident on the Mac's EFI partition, but it is not complete yet. Your icon USB EFI will restart Windows Setup.

5. do you have a Time Machine backup of Mac OS X?

    If it isn't your game, then the Compatibility Center W7 says that is not compatibile. But it seems there are other versions that can run.

    Make sure that your installation discs (if his coming to a CD/DVD) are all the scratches/dirt free and clean. A bad scratch or dirty mark on a disc can cause 'odd questions' sometimes.

    There are a few things to try:

    1. find the Setup program you are running for the game and which run in XP compatibility mode.

    2 in case of failure too and then try to run it in XP Compat mode and as administrator.

    I noticed there are a few paths on the www, if you get it installed, it may be an idea to get patches and install them to the best game(check AV before installing).

  • Connection Manager HP stopped responding + Windows Installer Error 1719

    I am running Windows 7 (SP1) 64-bit operating systems.

    Started getting an error message of connection manager HP "HP Connection Manager Service has stopped responding.  Error code 8008005.

    HP Connection Manager v4.1.23.1 running.
    When I try to install a new version of v4.4.10.1 (SP58930) HP connection manager, I get an error of Windows Installer 1719.  Tried different solutions recommended for this, but nothing has worked.

    I see in the forum after this uninstall of the current version and then install the new version of the HP connection manager can solve my original problem.

    Before uninstalling the currenet HP Connection Manager version, I wanted to be sure that I will be able to install the new version without encountering Error 1719.  I don't want to be in an even worse situation of not being able to the HP Connection Manager after you uninstall it.

    Can I get confirmation from HP that I will be able to successfully install a new version after uninstalling the current version?

    What do you suggest I try next?

    The fact that HP Connection Manager is no longer installed, how this will affect my computer?

    The fact that it is no longer installed will have no effect on the functioning of your laptop and none on the operating system.

    HP connection manager is simply a utility assistance for people who are making it difficult for the network through conections wifi and bluetooth connections.

    If you are not in this group it is really useless.

    From your description, it seems that if you can't follow instructions in the Microsoft fixit to the letter. By using the fixit is the easiest way to remove the registry entries and make changes to the registry that will allow installing and uninstalling software.  I can't recommend the methods that I use personally when I run on these issues because they involve access to the registry via regedit. The word people have never even heard of Regedit. Using Regedit can be a very bad thing for someone not experienced in the use of the registry editor.  All ch = angels did take place immediately and which included all the mistakes made during the access to the registry. Ongoing work on an operating system can fairly easily through the registry editor. Try the Microsoft fixit. It is a safe utility. Use it after an attempt to install and leave the window open until after error that does compete with the installation of the software.
