Windows Setup has not finished.

Hello

I reinstall Windows XP on a Dell Dimension 4500 with a Dell Windows XP Pro SP3 recovery disk. I followed all the steps to reinstall. I deleted the old partition and installed chose NTFS quick format. The installation went fairly smooth until I got the Windows Setup screens. It had an error message saying that it could not install some files but installation suite. Then I got an error saying that it could not connect to the internet. After that, everything went find until it restarts. He was about to read the Windows XP welcome video until it froze. All that appeared was a white screen with the Windows logo in the upper left corner with an 'X' on it. So I let it sit for about 45 minutes, and then I turned off the computer and deleted from the drive. From the beginning it upward, I found that it created an administrator account and it lacks many things. Also, I can't connect to the internet.  Here is a list of what is missing:

  • Photos from account.
  • A few wallpapers (Bliss, Azul and all others on the theme nature wallpapers)
  • The internet connection wizard.
  • Windows Media Player
  • Outlook Express
  • Help & support
  • Start menu customization options.
  • Remote assistance.

Most of the drivers installed except a few including Ethernet controller.

What hurts? and how to fix it? Here are a few screenshots that might help.

It is an old system (with an old optical drive) and Windows XP has reached end of life 1 year ago, his insecurity and preferable to use only not etc etc. Assuming that you know this and to install Windows XP in any case.

The first problem you have is the optical drive cannot read all the files on the CD and it ignores certain files, probably the laser in the struggles of optical drive with files from certain angles. If you have a newer PC with an optical drive to best, install ImgBurn (make sure that you opt for a facility advanced opting to not install any unwanted preloaded toolbars...). Create a .iso CD image, and then use ImgBurn to burn this .iso to more than 3 CD image. When the installation files cannot be read on the CD instead of exchange for one of the copies to jump. The file will be in a different location on the CD and it will be able to copy the file.

The second question is you have devices connected to the system which may interfere with the installation of Windows. Its better to attach only keyboard, mouse and monitor. You had a brother printer attached...

The third point is that you have not installed all the system drivers... I recommend that you use the old version of WSUS offline update to download all the updates of Windows XP (on a new work computer from a USB flash drive) before you install the drivers for your system:

http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/WSUS-offline-update/obtaining-the-latest-service-packsbuilds-of-Internet-Explorer/patching-Windows-XP-fully-using-the-WSUS-offline-update/

You can then download the system from the Dell FTP site drivers drivers and downloads may not work for an XP machine (on a new work computer from a USB flash drive):

You will need to install the drivers in the order, which is particularly critical for Windows XP works correctly:

    The items to be updated were NET & updates Office 2007-12 in all. -# 641 & 80070641 error message. This problem lasts 4 weeks. I tried all the "fixes" that I could find on the Microsoft Web site, which included using their "fix", many, many other options. ".

    Hi BigDcdn,

    For us, in order to better afin de mieux aider help you with this issue, please send us screenshots of what follows:
    • List of child accounts on https://familysafety.microsoft.com
    • Settings for the computer of the child concerned on the site of the family safety (the page where it shows queries, e-mail notifications, etc.).
    • The list of the user accounts on your computer
    I have sent you a private message for instructions. After you download it, please let know us in this thread.
    Thank you.

    Okay, so I thought about it and it's ugly and not intuitive.

    The REAL CAUSE of the ROOT of this error is that you CANNOT add a new kid in the Family Safety (FSS) Web site.

    But as a solution, you can add a new kid on the Section of the Windows Phone website My family.

    FIRST STEP remove account the offending child of family on the site of the FSS under the management of the list of the members of the family section. Once this has been completed, follow the workaround below.

    WORKAROUND

    1. Then from the sign of site Web of Windows Phone with your Microsoft Account (MSA) (parent).
    2. Hover over your name just below upper right of the search box and you will get a context box.
    3. In the context box, select My Family.
    4. In the Section My family, you will have two lists. PARENTS and CHILDREN, and especially an ADD A KID to the right of the list headers.
    5. Click on the link. Now, you will get a login screen of the MSA.
    6. Register your child or have them enter login and password. They will appear as a kid under the section of your Windows Phone my family. Even if they do not have a phone you can add.
    7. Ask them to connect in hotmail\outlook.com with their MSA will complete the configuration of security for the family.

    REAL SOLUTION

    There must be a link on the site of the FSS for KID A ADD (add a child would be more enjoyable unless of course you are a family of goats) identical to that of the Windows Phone my family section. Seems like a logical place to have this option?

    I hope this helps anyone else having this problem.

  • Windows Setup could not configure Windows on hardware of this computer Installation error on the new hard drive

    Okay so if please bear with me and be patient.  I'm not tech savvy.  I know enough to be able to remove an old hard drive and put another one, but when there are errors, I don't know what to do.

    Here's the situation.

    I have a Dell Studio XPS with Windows 7 installed.  I started having these notifications that my hard drive could be a failure.  I tried everything that I could find to fix it without having to buy a new HARD drive without success.  The current system has a 1 TB Seagate hard drive.  I installed a memory additional bar thingie right after that I got the computer about 4 years ago.  (If someone tells me how to find the properties of real system, I post them if necessary).  Anyway, I bought a new WD 1 TB black disk hard to install before my old dies and loses all my photos and documents, etc...

    I took the old drive yesterday and installed the new hard drive.  I put back the case and turned on the machine.  I put in my Windows 7 installation disc.  He began installing Windows 7... It's completely past the initial screen where it says it to load it and the other... I had accepted the license agreement, but did not have to make a profile and do the work and the reader.  I hope all this makes sense.  Then it pops up this message "installing Windows could not set up Windows on hardware on this computer."  I couldn't figure out what to do from there.  I got the new drive and put the old one back to and here I am. I tried to find solutions to this problem, but I either don't can't make heads or tails out of the responses on the internet or the solution is not exactly my problem.

    Please help if you can!  And if you have any suggestions, please dumb them down so I can understand what to do.  I CAN do if loaded, you just have to not talk too irritable.  Laughing out loud

    Thank you in advance!

    Maybe not...

    The Windows installation is not happy about something, and since it gets at least started which is a good thing, but your installation problem can not really be with Windows - perhaps something about Dell hardware or your 1 TB HARD drive.

    I looked at your system and found this article that you can read to see if it sounds like your original question:

    Windows Setup could not configure Windows on hardware on this computer.

    http://www.Dell.com/support/article/us/en/19/SLN293812/en

    Since Dell has written an article for help on this subject, it means they've met enough times to take the time to compose the article and put it on their WWW site (but, they say, it is a possible resolution).

    Could you take the issue in the Dell online community where experts hang out (especially your amber light).

    Another good place for support is www.bleepingcomputer.com where there is a similar topic as your question (except Vista) on a Dell and a new disk of 1 TB (also a Seagate) and Dell ideas did not work, but someone else has found a way to fix it:

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/453378/installation-fails-to-complete-on-new-HDD/

    The bleepingcomputer for your error message search reveals other areas and people who have got things to work in different ways, then it is perhaps another place to look for ideas.

    If the installation still fails it would not hurt to do the BIOS setting and see if things are getting longer, and since you are going to write the current settings before proceeding with the adjustment you can always cancel the adjustment if things get worse.
