Windows Setup cannot reset the deployment engine. To install windows, restart the installation.
Background: I bought a new 1.5 TB Seagate Baracuda disk to replace my current 500 GB drive.
Symptoms: I removed the old drive and installed the new drive. I try to install Vista 32. I have spend entering setup, past the disk partitioning key, then get up at installation windows... never goes beyond 0% and this error pops up. It's a never-ending cycle.
Information on PC:
HP Pavilion Media Center
Model: M8100n
RAM: 3 GB
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 2.8 GHz
Chipset: GeForce 6150SE nForce 430
Motherboard: ECS MCP61PM-HM (HP/Compaq name: Nettle2-GL8E)
What I've done so far:
Update the BIOS & chipset drivers.
Using the same drive, I can install windows XP without problems.
Using the same player can I clone my existing to the new player (while it really works, I want a clean install and not a copy of the disc I have with it is that existing space)
Once I have clone the new drive I can do a fresh install of Vista from above (even once is not ideal and just wasting disk space)
The problem is that I can't delete all existing partitions, format my new drive and install Vista 32.
Problem is solved. I don't have a chance to check the compatibility of the reader, but I found a solution that worked. It turns out that the problem seems to have been a problem of formatting the drive via the Vista CD. It's very frustrating when you get an error which is not defined anywhere, especially, a mistake by Microsoft that they document on their support pages.
Anyway, I would not normally copy / paste an answer, but it's the solution that worked for me that I found on another forum (thanks Mak)
Download GParted.
Download and burn the ISO with ImgBurn:
http://NeoSmart.NET/wiki/display/G/Burning+ISO+images+with+ImgBurn
From there load GParted with the CD in your taskbar. It is a bootable CD. From there, select the partition that you want to install to. right click on the partition and you will see the format option. Choose the NTFS option and format the drive. Then restart with the Vista DVD in the status bar.
Go through the startup process. It should work now.
The problem you are experiencing is related to the format. Vista does not have a formatting full it made just a short where it erases the data. The problem is that you have a damaged area on the hard drive that is causing this problem.
This will get rid of spot and allow installation to complete.

I have Windows XP on a PC, I bought at the beginning of 2009. I have been using Microsoft Office applications with no problems until now. When I try to open Excel, the following events occur: 1) a presentation box appears and poster - "Please wait while the window configures Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007. Collection of the required information. 2nd) another box displays the following message: Error 1406 Setup cannot write the value in the \xlsx registry key. Make sure you have sufficient permissions to access the registry or contact the Support Services technical Microsoft (PSS) for help. For more information about how to contact PSS, see PSS10R. CHM.
3rd, the next area said cancel, start over or ignore. Retry and ignore just redisplays the same message box again. When I click Cancel, the following error message is displayed - fatal error during installation. I do not understand why this is happening since 1) I've been using Excel for quite a while and 2) I'm not trying to install office as it was installed on my PC when it came from the manufacturer (Dell). Also, I have no problem with the opening of other Office programs. I am the only user on this computer. Help, please! Thank you, DennisOkie dokie.
Well I dug on the web and found someone with the same problem, and they said that when they have disabled "McAfee VirusScan 8.5 Access Protection", this error has disappeared. If this applies to you, give it a whirl if you wish.
But the best support that I found came from this website: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/838687. The jist of it is (trying to fix it yourself):
Fix it myself to fix this problem yourself, follow these steps:- Log the computer by using an administrator user account.
- Start Microsoft Windows Explorer.
- On the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
- Click the view tab.
- Under hidden files and folders, click Show hidden folders and files.
- Clear the Hide extensions for known file types check box, and then click OK.
- Open the following folder: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Office\Data\
- If you are running Office 2003, right-click Opa11.dat, and then click Properties. If you are running Office XP, right-click Data.dat, and then click Properties.
- Click the Security tab.
- Click Advanced.
- Click the permissions tab.
- Click to select everyone in the list entered permissions and then click change.
- Click to select the full control check box.
- Click OK three times. If these steps do not resolve this issue, delete the Opa11.dat file or the Data.dat file in the following folder and then restart an Office 2003 program or an Office XP program:C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Office\Data
If this does not work for you, I would take my installation CD< completely="" uninstall="" microsoft="" excel="" (or="" any="" other="" problems="" that="" are="" giving="" you="" this="" error),="" then="" install="" microsoft's="" windows="" installer="" cleanup="" utility="" (which="" completely="" removes="" all="" stuff="" pertaining="" to="" whichever="" program="" you="" delete,="" for="" you,="" excel)="" and="" then="" reinstall="" microsoft="" excel.="" this="" utility="" program="" is="" really="" powerful,="" and="" you="" can="" download="" your="" copy="" from="">http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301.

The drive has been formatted by attempts of constant relocation. Using XP and Media Center disks, I can get as much blue screen (setup) saying that Setup cannot find the temporary installation files and press f3. It's that I get. I also have a blue screen telling me to insert the diskette labeled 'Windows Automated System Recovery disk' in on the floppy drive. That's all. I am doomed.

I try to install Windows Embedded Standard 7 on an vacuum Compact Flash 4 GB but when installing, I get an error message "Windows cannot access the installation sources. "Check that the installation sources are accessible, and run the Setup again."
I created an answer file with the Configuration of Image Editor and I created an Image of the IBW of my answer file. All the files and the Image of the IBW (738 MB) files are copied to a USB bootable 4 GB. I inserted the Flash DRIVE to a computer with a Compact Flash 4 GB (which contains only a primary NTFS partition set as Active) and it starts on a USB key. IBW Wizard starts and I followed the instructions until the disk selection step. I chose the disk and partition of Compact Flash and I press the next button. First 2 installation steps manage (copy of Windows files and extend Windows files) but 3rd step (installing features and updates) failed with the error message "Windows cannot access the installation sources. Check that the installation sources are accessible, and run the Setup again.'.»
Problem is that I must install on a Compact Flash 4 GB.
Can someone help me please?

At the command prompt, type: bcdedit [then press enter]

Windows cannot complete the Installation in Mode safe
Hi, I have a Packard Bell with Windows Vista laptop
The graphics card on the laptop no longer works. The stops of the laptop to a black screen when loading windows, but worked perfectly in safe mode.
I talked to the technician who said to reinstall the operating system, so I used F8 and then chose "Repair computer", and then selected recovery Packard Bell and wanted to reinstall my laptop, which has successfully completed.
Restarting the laptop and as he cannot get to windows it cannot complete the installation of the operating system, I try to go to safe mode that loads but I get an error saying something in the sense of "Windows is unable to complete the installation in safe mode. Stop and try in windows. I'm stuck now and can not use the laptop at all. I want to be able to use the computer laptop atleast in safemode, required the installation of vista.I can access the command-line by F8 and then choosing 'computer repair. Can I use the command prompt to complete the installation.
Or y at - it another way I can complete the installation?Thank you very much
Hello
you have little choice
1. attach the graphics card
2 and contact the manufacturer because it is their recovery process, NOT microsofts
you already know that you can not complete the process of recovery of manufacturers in safe mode
and we cannot help you with their recovery process
good luck with it
