This version of windows could not be installed

I’m upgrading from Vista SP1 (which was actually upgraded from XP over a year ago) to Windows 7 RTM (64-bit Ultimate to 64-bit Ultimate). After 4 hours or so, the install fails with the message «This version of Windows could not be installed, Your previous version of Windows has been restored, and you can continue to use it.» This error is back at my Vista desktop, there’s no error that I could see during install, I just a message indicating that it was reverting everything.

I tracked down the error logs and here’s the log at
I uploaded the error log (from C:$WINDOWS.~BTSourcesPanther) and uploaded onto Pastebin. Here is an excerpt:

2009-08-09 02:54:57, Error      Number of Enumerated Devices = 21[gle=0x00000103]
2009-08-09 02:54:58, Error      Failed to find driver file path. Error=00000002x
2009-08-09 02:54:58, Error      Failed to find driver file path. Error=00000002x
2009-08-09 02:54:58, Error      Failed to find driver file path. Error=00000002x[gle=0x80092004]
2009-08-09 02:54:58, Error      Failed to find driver file path. Error=00000002x[gle=0x80092004]

It was suggested that I upgrade to SP2 before upgrading to Vista, but this made no difference. I since uninstalled SP2 since it was creating some problems with a piece of hardware.

I know a fresh install is best, but I’m hoping to avoid that because I’d need a new hard drive.

Per Reuben’s instruction, I found the install’s dump and uploaded it here. (266 KB)

In this post we will see how to upgrade Windows Server 2008 R2 to Windows Server 2012. It’s been an year that Microsoft has released Windows Server 2012, when Windows Sever 2012 was released the IT professionals were eager to know what’s new in Windows Server 2012 and i was one of them. Microsoft releases all of its operating systems in multiple editions, which provides consumers with varying price points and feature sets. While choosing the edition make sure you choose the edition that suits your requirements. Before we go ahead and deploy Server 2012, let’s take a look at editions of Windows Server 2012.

1) Windows Server 2012 Datacenter Edition – The Datacenter edition is designed for large and powerful servers with up to 64 processors and fault-tolerance features such as hot add processor support. This edition is available only through the Microsoft volume licensing program and from original equipment manufacturers bundled with a server.

2) Windows Server 2012 Standard Edition – This is a fully functional edition of Windows Server 2012. Frankly speaking there is no much difference between Datacenter and Standard Edition of Windows Server 2012. What differentiates these 2 editions is the number of virtual machine instances that is permitted by the license. A Standard edition license will entitle you to run up to two VMs on up to two processors. A Datacenter edition license will entitle you to run an unlimited number of VMs on up to two processors.

3) Windows Server 2012 Essentials – The Essentials edition is suited for small organizations, this edition includes all the features of Standard and Datacenter edition except the Server Core, Hyper-v and ADFS (Active Directory Federation Services).

4) Windows Server 2012 Foundation – This edition is designed for small businesses that require only basic server features such as file and print services and application support. The edition includes no virtualization rights and is limited to 15 users.

If  i were to upgrade my existing windows server 2008 R2 Enterprise server to windows server 2012 i would first choose the edition and then i would check the upgrade paths. I have created a table which shows whether you can upgrade to windows server 2012 with you present operating system.

Lets take a look at hardware requirements for upgrading our server to windows server 2012. Windows Server 2012 requires minimum of 16 GB to 32 GB of disk space. When you install Windows Server 2012 it occupies 15.1 GB of space approximately but its good to allocate at least 32 GB of drive space for Windows Server 2012. You would require 1.4 GHz 64-bit processor, 512 MB of RAM, 32 GB of disk space, DVD Drive, Super VGA (800×600) or higher resolution monitor, keyboard and mouse.

The Windows Server 2012 evaluation software is available in Standard and Datacenter editions, you can download Windows Server 2012 from here :- http://technet.microsoft.com/en-in/evalcenter/hh670538.aspx.

In this post i will be showing you how to upgrade a windows server 2008 R2 Enterprise SP1 to Windows Server 2012 Datacenter. Note that the existing server is in workgroup, do not consider this post to upgrade your domain controller to windows server 2012. I will be creating a separate post to show the upgrade of domain controller running on windows server 2008 r2 to windows server 2012.

Insert the windows server 2012 DVD into the DVD-ROM and click on Run Setup.exe.

On the Windows Setup screen, click on Install now.

If you want to get security updates and latest drivers for your operating system select Go online to install updates now. We can also do a windows update once the upgrade is completed, so select No, Thanks.

Enter your product key for windows server 2012 and click on Next. In this step i have entered server 2012 Datacenter edition key. Click on Next.

Server core installation has no Server Manager or any other MMCs to manage roles and features. The management must be done either remotely from a client machine or through the command prompt or Powershell at the console. There is no Start menu, no desktop Explorer shell, no Microsoft Management Console, and virtually no graphical applications. All you see when you start the computer is a single window with a command prompt. In this step i will select the second installation mode, Windows Server 2012 Datacenter (Server with a GUI). Click on Next.

Select Upgrade: Install Windows and Keep files, settings and applications. This will keep existing files, settings and applications and upgrade our server to windows 2012.

The upgrade will take close to 20 minutes. Sit back and relax until the upgrade is complete.

The upgrade from windows server 2008 R2 Enterprise to windows server 2012 Datacenter is complete. Let’s login to the server and check for the edition.

Click on Server Manager, Click on Local Server, check the properties of server. We see that the operating system version is Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Datacenter. The upgrade process has been completed successfully.

Переустановка Windows 7

24 Jun 2014 в 14:34

24 Jun 2014 в 14:34 #1

Всем доброго времени суток. Решил переустановить свой Windows 7 32-x bit на 7-ку, но 64-x bit. Столкнулся с проблемой: когда запускаю диск с Виндой то пишет следующее сообщение: «This installation disc isn’t compatible with your version of Windows. To upgrade, you need the correct installation disc. For more information, check your computer’s system information. To install a new copy of windows, restart (boot) your computer using the installation disc, and then select Custom (advanced).» Что делать? Вообще можно ли установить 64 бита, используя этот процессор: «AMD fx-8120 Eight-Core Processor». Если кто-то знает решение данной проблемы, прошу отписаться.

24 Jun 2014 в 14:49 #2

Ну ты написал решение в своем вопросе, то есть твой вопрос содержит решение. Грузись с диска, в биосе выстави приоритет на дисковод.
Твоя проблема из того, что ты диск в винде запускаешь.

24 Jun 2014 в 14:54 #3

То есть с моим процом можно установить 64 битную?

24 Jun 2014 в 14:56 #4

Открой биос и дерзай самоуверенный мачо!

Судя по описанию установка делается неверно. Надо делать так:

1. Сохранить все нужные данные на любом внешнем носителе (DVD, внешний диск, флэш и т.п).

2. Загрузить компьютер с установочного DVD диска Семерки (см. инструкцию к лаптопу как задать поряднок загрузки если по умолчанию она не с DVD).

3. Установить ОС следуя предложеным шагам. Рекомендуется удалить раздел с существующей ОС и создать новый, в него и устанавливать.

4. Установить апдейты и свежие драйверы.

5. Восстановить данные сохраненные в п.1.

Я сейчас сделал так:вставил диск,выключил компьютер,включил,в БИОСе в boot-Boot Device Priority,выбрал первый пункт и поставил CD-DVD,save and exit

забудьте, что у Вас есть жесткий диск.

В БИОСе поставьте DVD-привод первым в загрузке.

Дистрибутив должен быть уже в приводе.

А 64 не устанавливается.Причём,проводник открывает,что вся информация на диске есть,а при попытке установить появляется сообщение «Неопознанная программа пыт. получить доступ»,я жму на «да»,выводится окно с сообщением:»This installation disk isn’t compatible with your version of windows.To upgrade,you need the correct installation disk.For more information,check your computer’s sistem information.To install a new copy of Windows,restart (boot)your computer using the installation disk,and then select Custom(Advanced)»

при загрузке с диска никаких подобных сообщений быть не может, по определению!

(при «слабых компьютерных знаниях» лучше сначала либо почитать книжки, либо в Интернете покопаться и разобраться. а не «рубить шашкой» :-))

В вашем случае вы провели upgrade установленной висты до 7-ки, так как битность совпадала. Чтобы установить ОС 64bit, необходимо как уже сказали ранее загрузиться с диска. Для этого или в биос поставить в порядке загрузки привод ранее HDD, либо. нажать комбинацию клавиш при загрузке для выбора источника загрузки (на АСУС обычно F8). Собственно об этом сообщение на английском и выдавалось(из первого поста).

всё неверно. Если ставится система с другой разрядностью, то возможно только полная чистая установка (вместо существующей системы или в свободный раздел), при этом загружаться нужно непосредственно с дистрибутивного диска.

А 64-битная программа установки никак не может запуститься в 32-битной операционной системе! поэтому и ошибка

This is not a genuine version of windows при установке

Вопрос

For some reason Win7 SP1 is now claiming my OEM install is not legitimate even tho I’ve been using it for 2 years. None of the three KBs (KB971033/KB4480960/KB4480970) are installed. Yeah, I’m paranoid. Is this another crappy, hamfisted attempt by Microsoft to force me to upgrade to Windows Me v.10? None of the solutions apply to OEM licenses. And if I try to use any MS methods I get a message the key is not valid for activation.

If you are unable to re-activate your OEM license using an internet connection, I would recommend you to re-activate your Windows by phone. Details are here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/15083/windows-activate-windows-7-or-8-1

Have you changed anything before the issue occured?

Try to reinstall it and check if you still have the error, It’s recommended to contact with Microsoft support from here:

вкладка Вид »

Service Pack Failure Hence Reset To Previous Version

Feb 1, 2012

My system tells me that an update is ready for installation. It turns out to be Service Pack1 KB976932. It loads and installs. On reset, the system stalls on �Starting Windows� with that fuzzy MS colors icon on the screen. 10 minutes later I press Alt,CTRL,DEL� nothing happens. I press NumLock, no light change, so I do a hard reboot.��Launch Start Up Repair� is reported. Then �Unable to Start, Searching for problems� as the progress bar indicator sweeps across. It times out and asks �Do you want to Restore�, I hit OK and the progress bar indicator sweeps across again. This goes on for about 15 minutes.�Cannot Repair Automatically� and when I hit OK, the system turns off.On redstart, it boots fully and is probably in the same arrangement as before this whole session. This is the third time I have run through this process.

Mar 23, 2012

So I installed a beta version of W7 Ultimate and it’s displaying a watermark that says «this is not a legit version». I never had a legitimate product key.I want to purchase a real version and upgrade appropriately.Can I purchase an Upgrade license to Windows 7 Ultimate or do I have to purchase a Full version?Also, what if I wanted to install Windows 7 Home Edition instead of the Ultimate version. If I did this, I assume I would have to install the Full version correct?

Activate English Version With Spanish Version Key

Nov 30, 2009

I am buying a new PC in Spain but want Windows 7 Home Premium in English, which does not seem to be available anywhere here. So my techie guy is downloading an English version (pirate???) and at same time buying a genuine Spanish version. He says he will then use the key code from the Spanish pack to validate the English version.

Is this possible, and could I encounter any problems later? How can I be 100% sure (before I leave the shop!) that I have a validated, genuine English version of Windows 7 that will continue to work indefinitely?

Upgrade Version Vs Clean Install Version?

Sep 1, 2010

I need to know if I can use a clean install disk for Windows 7 Ultimate to upgrade from Vista or if I have to use an Upgrade version?

I’m leaning towards buying the clean install disk so that if I should loose the hard drive at some future point I could just clean install Win 7 Ultimate from the disk without having to first install Vista and then upgrade.

Regardless of which type I purchase, am I better off to buy the OEM disk from the machine manufacturer (Toshiba) or just purchase any OEM disk? Of course, if I want Microsoft support then I need to purchase retail disks.

OEM Installed ATI Graphics Card Version

Sep 20, 2009

I installed the OEM version of Windows 7, which came with all the basic drivers, but looking at the dxdiag box, my version of the graphics card I have is much older than the one on the ATI website.

I have the ATI Radeon HD 2400 — 1GB the version in dxdiag says 8.632

The latest is v9.9

But I cant seem to remove the old driver to update it, and I know this is incorrect, but should I just install the new one?

Do I Need An Upgrade Version Or A Full Version

May 4, 2011

I was stupid enough to purchase a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate full version for my computer from someone on Craigslist. This copy was brand new and sealed. I thought it was legit. I completed wiped my computer clean and installed the software. Everything went fine — until after about a month I started getting this message saying «Must Activate Computer.» After talking to Microsoft, this software was legit, but it is something called a developer’s copy and it blocked my activation code because I wasn’t using certain features because I wasn’t supposed to have a copy like this. Of course I tried contacting the person — who is now ignoring all my e-mails. In any event…I want to go purchase a legit version from a store but am not sure what I need. I can currently use my computer, but it is operating illegally from the Windows 7 Ultimate that was installed. I do not need ultimate…home premium is fine.

1) Do I need an upgrade version or a full version?

2) What can I do with this developer’s copy of Ultimate? Can I sell it anywhere to someone who is allowed to use it? I»d like to get something for it to help pay for the new one.

Windows Version Of An LVM?

Sep 20, 2010

in Linux I have a file-server which has a Logical Volume defined.This consists of TWO x 1 TB hard-disks «joined» to make a single mount point.To access I simply open up konquerer and point to /usr/share/myLVM..I can save up to 2 TB of data into that folder and when it’s full, simply add another physical disk and then include that in the LVM. The available space increases accordingly in that mount point.My Q is, can I perform something similar with Windows server 2003?I have a domain but unable to set AD permissions and ACLs to the file servers as they all run Linux LVMs.
