Why is the downloaded program not installed? If Windows cannot be installed on this disk. Damage to the installation disk

It happens that some programs in Windows 7 doesn't want to install, or the installed program does not want to start. This happens not because the program cannot run on this OS, but simply the programmers who wrote the program did a version check Windows.
IN Windows 7 such a situation is provided for and a method is added run programs in compatibility mode with an earlier version of Windows. This is not to say that this method always works 100%. And the whole point depends on what OS capabilities the program uses. And if such a program uses certain unique capabilities that are unique to previous version operating system, in this case Compatibility Mode will not help. But in practice, such programs are not found very often, so if a problem arises, you should try using the method run in compatibility mode.
For start compatibility mode program or installation, if it does not want to be installed, you should open program properties. Right-click on the icon of the program or file being installed and select “Properties”.

In the window that opens, go to the "Compatibility" tab, check the box "Run the program in compatibility mode for:"

and expand the menu to select the version Windows. I must say that the list of OS choices is quite extensive, starting with Windows 95 and up to Windows Vista SP2.

Here you can choose Extra options for start. And if the program was written a long time ago, for very early versions Windows, you can try a limited set of colors (“Use 256 colors”), and also run in a small window with a resolution of 640 x 480. Some programs may not work with modern desktop styles, for them you should check the “Disable visual design” and “ Disable desktop composition."
Check the "Disable scaling at high resolution" option if the font in the program window is very small or, on the contrary, large. You can also check the box here to run the program as an administrator.

If you are not sure about your choice compatibility mode programs you can use a tool for troubleshooting program compatibility issues For diagnostics And preventing computer problems. To launch it, click on “Troubleshooting”. In the window that opens, find the “Programs” item and click the line below.

Hello.

There is probably not a single computer user who has not encountered errors when installing and uninstalling programs. Moreover, such procedures have to be performed quite often.

In this relatively short article, I would like to dwell on the most common reasons why it is impossible to install a program on Windows, as well as provide a solution for each problem.

1. “Broken” program (“installer”)

I won’t lie if I say that this reason is the most common! Broken - this means the program installer itself was damaged, for example, due to a virus infection (or when treated with an antivirus - often when antiviruses treat a file, they “cripple” it (make it unlaunchable)).

In addition, nowadays programs can be downloaded from hundreds of resources on the Internet, and I must note that not all resources have high-quality programs. It is possible that you have a broken installer - in this case, I recommend downloading the program from the official website and restarting the installation.

2. Incompatibility of the program with Windows OS

A very common reason for the impossibility of installing a program, given that most users do not even know which Windows OS they have installed (we are talking not only about the version of Windows: XP, 7, 8, 10, but also about 32 or 64 bit).

The fact is that most programs for 32bits systems will also work on 64bits systems (but not vice versa!). It is important to note that the category of programs such as antiviruses, disk emulators and the like: it is not worth installing on an OS that is not of its own capacity!

3. NET Framework

Another very common problem is a problem with the NET Framework package. It is a software platform for compatibility various applications written in different programming languages.

There are a few different versions this platform. By the way, for example, by default, NET Framework version 3.5.1 is installed in Windows 7.

Important! Each program needs its own version of the NET Framework (and not always the newest one). Sometimes, programs require a specific version of the package, and if you don’t have it (and only have a newer one), the program will throw an error...

How can I find out my version of Net Framework?

In Windows 7/8, this is quite easy to do: to do this, go to the control panel at: Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features.

Microsoft NET Framework 3.5.1 on Windows 7.

4. Microsoft Visual C++

A very common package that has been used to write many applications and games. By the way, most often errors of the “Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Error...” type are associated with games.

There are many reasons for this kind of error, so if you see a similar error, I recommend that you read:

5.DirectX

This package is used mainly by games. Moreover, games are usually “tailored” for a specific version of DirectX and to run it you will need this version. Most often, the required version of DirectX is included on the disc along with the games.

To find out the version of DirectX installed in Windows, open the “Start” menu and in the “Run” line enter the command “DXDIAG” (then the Enter button).

Running DXDIAG on Windows 7.

6. Installation location...

Some program developers believe that their program can only be installed on the “C:” drive. Naturally, if the developer did not provide for it, then after installation on another drive (for example, on “D:” - the program refuses to work!).

First, completely remove the program, and then try to install it as default;

Do not put Russian characters in the installation path (they often cause errors).

C:\Program Files (x86)\ - correct

C:\Programs\ - not correct

7. Lack of DLLs

There are such system files with the DLL extension. These are dynamic libraries that contain required functions for running programs. Sometimes it happens that in the OS Windows required there is no dynamic library (for example, this can happen when installing various “assemblies” of Windows).

The simplest solution is to look at which file is missing and then download it on the Internet.

binkw32.dll is missing

8. Trial period (ended?)

Many programs allow you to use them for free only for a certain period of time (this period is usually called a trial period - so that the user can be convinced of the need for this program before paying for it. Moreover, some programs are quite expensive).

Users often use a program with a trial period, then delete it, and then want to install it again... In this case, there will either be an error, or, more likely, a window will appear asking the developers to buy this program.

Solutions:

Reinstall Windows and install the program again (usually this helps to reset the trial period, but the method is extremely inconvenient);

Use a free analogue;

Buy the program...

9. Viruses and antiviruses

Not often, but it does happen that an Anti-Virus interferes with installation by blocking a “suspicious” installer file (by the way, almost all anti-viruses consider installer files to be suspicious and always recommend downloading such files only from official sites).

Solutions:

If you are confident in the quality of the program, disable the antivirus and try installing the program again;

It is possible that the program installer was corrupted by a virus: then you need to download it;

10. Drivers

The best programs for updating drivers in Windows 7/8.

11. If all else fails...

It also happens that there are no visible and obvious reasons due to which it is impossible to install a program on Windows. The program works on one computer, but not on another with exactly the same OS and hardware. What to do? Often in this case it is easier not to look for the error, but to simply try to restore Windows or simply reinstall it (although I myself am not a supporter of such a solution, but sometimes the time saved is more valuable).

That's all for today, good luck with Windows everyone!

Windows 7, despite the release of newer operating systems of this family, still remains one of the most popular and in demand among users around the world, due to its versatility. But, as it turns out, it is not always possible to use some applications installed by the user. Most often, such situations appear at the installation stage. But why on Windows 7 which, in theory, should work in it without any problems? There are many reasons for this, which will be discussed further. But only the most basic and most common problems are offered for consideration, since it is simply impossible to cover them all, especially if we take into account each specific case of failures and errors.

Why programs are not installed on Windows 7: main reasons

First, let's look at the reasons that cause errors to appear at the very beginning of the installation. Among them, the most important aspects are the following:

  • the user does not have the necessary rights;
  • blocking installation by antiviruses and firewalls;
  • mismatch between the system architecture and the installed software;
  • outdated or unsupported hardware and drivers for it;
  • incomplete distribution builds and missing important operating system files;
  • outdated additional platforms;
  • residual components of earlier versions of installed applications;
  • compatibility issues;
  • MSI file corruption and errors;
  • exposure to viruses.

Of course, the above list cannot be called absolutely complete and reflects all possible situations, however, for the most part, these are the reasons that prevent normal installation software, among which the leading positions belong to modern computer games and multimedia applications.

Troubleshooting Windows Installer errors for Windows 7 at the beginning of installation

To eliminate possible failures and errors, let's start with the simplest thing - whether the user has the necessary rights to install a program. It’s no secret that it was in the seventh modification of Windows that the so-called super administrator with a hidden but constantly active account, which as a user has much more access rights to change system parameters than any other user registered in the system, even from the administrator group. And any program, as is known, except for portable versions, just changes some system options, for example, registering its own dynamic libraries or creating its own keys in system registry, which requires obtaining appropriate permission. And if you add here UAC User Account Control, it seems that the average user has no privileges at all.

However, if Windows Installer for Windows 7, immediately after starting the installation it gives an error; you can correct the situation quite simply by running the installer as an administrator through the RMB menu on the selected object. After this, the error may disappear. But you shouldn’t rely only on this option.

Problems with security software

Now let's assume that the installers are launched with necessary rights, but still the programs are not installed on Windows 7. What to do? First, you should read the installation conditions if you are trying to install not official version application, but you are using some hacked or custom repack.

Although this may equally apply to some versions of legitimate software, it is sometimes recommended to disable antivirus protection in real time, especially if you have some kind of free antivirus like Avast. In principle, similar actions can be performed with the Windows firewall, but in most cases this is not necessary.

System capacity

Now a few words about another situation when programs are not installed on Windows 7. The installer error may appear again and again if your operating system has a different architecture than the one that the installed application is intended to use.

In the computer properties via RMB, look at a brief description of the system used. If you have Windows 7 x64, there should be no problems, since both 64- and 32-bit programs can be installed on this system. But on the contrary - no way.

Hardware, drivers and system updates

Sometimes you can encounter problems with the hardware installed on the computer, for example, processors that do not support x64 architecture. But, since this is very rare today, the appearance of conflicts, if programs are not installed on Windows 7 under any pretext, is associated with incorrect installation of drivers, their absence or obsolescence. The fact that the system itself can choose the most suitable driver for a certain device (as it seems to it) does not mean at all that the equipment running such software will work without failures. In this case, you should install exclusively “native” (preferably updated) drivers, downloading them, for example, from the official website of the device manufacturer.

To automate such processes you can use special programs to update drivers like Driver Booster, which finds the most latest versions control software with the required architecture and integrate them into the system without user intervention.

If the required driver is not found, in the “Device Manager”, which can be called through additional system parameters and the hardware tab, “Control Panel” or the “Run” console by entering the command devmgmt.msc, you should use the information tab and after selecting the ID display equipment from the list copy the most long string, containing the identifiers VEN and DEV, and then use it to search for a driver, download it and install it yourself. Also, after saving it on your hard drive or external storage device, you can instruct the system to install from the selected location.

Often modern software products also imply the installation of the most latest updates for the operating system itself.

If such packages were not found and integrated into the system automatically, you can use the Update Center to manually search for them and then install them after the download is complete.

Unofficial app builds and missing libraries

Sometimes programs on Windows 7 are not installed because some unofficial (usually stripped-down) repack is used, which may be missing important files of the application being installed. In this case, it is better not to experiment, but to find the official release of the program. But it also happens that the system itself does not have the necessary dynamic libraries that are necessary for the application to work correctly. Some people advise downloading the missing components yourself, then placing them in the System32 folder, and then registering them using the regsvr32 tool. The matter, I must say, is quite tedious.

So isn’t it easier to use a special DLL Suite utility that can automatically detect missing or damaged libraries and download them from the Internet?

Incorrectly installed and outdated additional platforms

If we talk specifically about games and multimedia, any system must have special additional platforms installed, without which no such program will simply work. Among them there are three main ones:

  • DirectX;
  • .NET Framework;
  • Visual C++ Redistributable.

The problem here is that if for the first two platforms you find and install the most latest versions can be obtained directly from the official Microsoft website, then the version of the third component, for example, for somewhat outdated games, does not necessarily have to be the latest. In general, the installer must initially contain a tool that installs the required platform modification, but if the installer itself is broken, this component will have to be integrated into the system yourself.

For multimedia, if the user is dealing with programs developed by Apple that have been adapted for Windows 7 x64 or x86, the installation of additional components may also be required. Most often, the QuickTime platform is required.

Remains of deleted old versions of programs

Another reason that programs do not install on Windows 7 may be due to remnants from earlier versions of applications that were removed. As is known, careful and complete removal installed programs is one of the most weaknesses all systems in this family. But often at the end of such processes you can find a huge number of residual components in the form of files, directories and registry keys. Therefore, for maximum complete removal applications, it is better to use automated uninstaller programs (for example, iObit Uninstaller) or clean the system by using optimizers (CCleaner, Advanced SystemCare, etc.).

Using Compatibility Mode

But some outdated applications (or even their installation), which work without problems in earlier versions of Windows, are sometimes advisable to run using the so-called compatibility mode.

In Windows 7, in this case, the OS will be recognized by the installer or installed application not like the seventh version, but an earlier modification. Please note that upgrading the system version is not provided, that is, in the seventh modification there is no compatibility with Windows 8, 8.1 or 10 at all (although theoretically all four systems can ensure the correct operation of the same program). Choose desired mode it is possible through the properties of the file being launched, using the properties item and the corresponding tab on which the required version of the operating system is selected from the list.

Corrupt installer files and service problems

Finally, one of the most common installation problems involves damage to the installer itself. This may be partially due to incomplete loading of distributions or installation files packaged in archives; sometimes the built-in Windows installer itself may not work correctly, etc.

In the first case, you just need to re-download the content, in the second, use the services section (services.msc), stop the Windows Installer service, reboot computer device and turn it on again if activation does not occur automatically.

Viral impact

Finally, the real scourge of all Windows systems is virus applets. They penetrate the system in various ways, affecting its important components, but most often such threats can be found on all kinds of torrent trackers. Therefore, after downloading files from such Internet resources, they must immediately be checked with some kind of portable scanner. But even here it should be clearly understood that not all modern viruses can be detected antivirus scanners. Some of them (for example, advertising applets called browser hijackers) may masquerade as official partnership programs and penetrate the system completely legally.

When installing an operating system, a fairly large number of problems may arise. problem situations. Let's look at the most common errors that lead to the phrase “I can’t install Windows 7.”

  • "The system cannot be installed due to a read error." This type problems are typical when damaged boot disk installer or if there are errors accessing your computer's hard drive.
    To resolve the problem, use a different installation media and check HDD check for errors using various boot utilities. To check the quality of the boot disk, you can try installation on another computer. It is worth noting that this error occurs in most cases when using a pirated copy of the OS or custom “assemblies”. All these modifications are almost always associated with the removal of certain information from the installation image, which leads to a violation of the integrity of the file.
  • "Format could not be completed." Windows 7 does not install when you try to perform operating system actions with the disk in windows work. Existing installation media allows you to perform various operations with the hard drive while the operating system is running, but in some cases a system failure may occur when trying to access HDD sector installer The solution would be to use the bootable version installation disk and carrying out the formatting operation from under it.
  • "The installation could not complete successfully. Device driver not found." This problem arose with the widespread use of the SATA interface. The cause of the error is BIOS setup, which is responsible for the type of device being connected. For proper operation system and complete the installation process, you must set the SATA Mode parameter to ACHI. After this, you need to start the installation process again. The second reason for the error may be the use of devices with unsupported drivers in the computer configuration. This could be like using an outdated model hard drive or (more often) connecting new devices to the motherboard with outdated version BIOS drivers. To solve the problem you need to visit the manufacturer's website motherboard to update drivers. If this update does not exist, you will have to stop using this equipment.
  • "The installation process completed with an unknown error." This message is often the most difficult to determine the source of the error. According to the analysis, the error occurs due to a malfunction of the computer components. In this case, the failure can be either systematic or one-time.
    To solve the problem and successfully complete the installation process, we recommend performing the following algorithm.
    1. Turn off the computer's power and check that the components are installed correctly. Often the message appears due to loose contact of the RAM sticks with the connectors or a hard drive interface cable not being connected all the way. When these devices operate, a discharge may occur that blocks operation.
    2. Check with utilities performance of the hard disk. When a hard drive fails, they are the first to stop working correctly. boot sectors. When the operating system is running, this may not be noticed for a long time, but the installation activates them.
    3. Use bootable media with a different version of the service package or operating system version. If the characteristics are not suitable for installation, an abnormal termination will occur.
    4. Check the temperature of the devices. The installation process activates almost all devices on the computer. If thermal regulation is poor, the processor or hard drive may overheat and cause emergency failures in their operation.

If after performing all the above steps the error does not disappear, then there is a high probability of a breakdown and you will have to contact service centers to fix it.

- the process is simple. But sometimes there are problems that can interfere with the installation procedure. This article will help you understand the most common errors.
In the content you can quickly find ways to solve certain problems caused by specific error codes.

What should I do if there is an error during installation?

When installing Windows 7, various problems may arise: the process may be interrupted at various stages and at specific steps (when copying/unpacking files, formatting HDD/SSD, etc.).

If you cannot understand the reason for a particular error, be sure to start by checking the image of your copy of the OS for integrity.


If after at least two attempts you are unable to successfully complete the system installation, pay attention to the error code that appears during installation. The rest of the article discusses the most common of these errors, as well as methods for correcting them.

Damaged Windows 7 image. What does this mean and how to identify it?

Let's start with obvious signs:

  • The file size of your OS image does not match the file size of the image downloaded from the network;
  • The image cannot be opened/mounted by programs WinRar, Daemoon Tools;
  • When reading or copying an image using a program to write a system file to a disk or flash drive, errors occur.
But even the absence of all these signs does not provide a 100% guarantee of the overall integrity of the installed system. This is because the size of even a broken file can completely correspond to the size of the whole one, and the recording program (its specific version) simply turns out to be inoperative. There is a more reliable way to determine the integrity of the image - verification checksumM.D.5 our installation image. MD5 hash amount– this is a unique 32 character code, which is obtained by adding the “contents” of all files into one line and applying a special MD5 algorithm.
If at Windows entries 7 per disk at least 1 If the symbol is damaged and written incorrectly, you will get another unique string of 32 characters (this string is called the MD5 hash sum). Thus, by checking the MD5 checksum, we determine whether there are any errors in the recorded Windows 7 image. For this check we will use the MD5 Checker () program.

It's simple: download the required version, unpack it to any place (for example, on the Desktop), open it.

Now we just need to move our Windows image 7 into the program window, where you compare the MD5 of the downloaded file with the initially correct MD5, which is usually indicated on the page of the selected original system assembly.

Checking executable file integrity programs:

As you can see in the picture below, the value from the column Current MD5 fully complies with MD5 on the website.
Figure 1. Checking MD5 with the original.
Therefore, our file is “not broken” and the contents are completely corresponds the original image of the installation disk, i.e. his original content.

Now that we are confident that our image is intact, we can re-write it.

Preferably on another drive and with a minimum speed (in the case of a CD) to completely eliminate the problem with installation files.
It is also highly recommended to try different image the OS of interest (Operating System (our Windows 7)).

This point may help:

  • Solve errors with unpacking and copying files from a possibly non-working flash drive or damagedCD;
  • If some other problems occur on initial stages master's work (driver error optical drive, absenceHDDin the installation menu, etc.).

Replacing the image did not help. Less common general problems.

"Windows 7 cannot be installed (GPT standard)"
(Windows Setup unexpected error)

New models of computers (mostly laptops) may have drives - it doesn’t matter SSD or HDD - with markings incompatible with the installation program for a number of 32-bit assemblies Windows versions.

The most reasonable solution in such a situation would be to download and then Windows installation 7 x64. So, if your computer has more than 2GB RAM, it is recommended to install a 64-bit OS. But if you need exactly the x32 version of the system (for example, when transferring a new HDD to old computer), necessary change markup disk WithGPTonMBR.
Change the layout of the HDD/SSD drive (volume Necessarily less than 2 TB) is possible only after completely formatting it. This will result in complete data loss. So, before proceeding, make sure that all important data is transferred to the backup storage.
How to find out what markup is on your drive?

Very simple. For this you will need:

  1. Call command line CMD by pressing a keyboard shortcut Shift+ F10 (after an error in the window for selecting a disk for installation);
  2. Enter "diskpart » → press "Enter" → then "list disk » (see below);

Figure 2. Working with the CMD console.

IN columnGPT the symbol will be indicated asterisk "*", if the corresponding drive has GPTmarkings

As can be seen in Figure 2, none of the drives have this marking, and therefore perform the following steps NO NEED! In this case, the problem should be looked for elsewhere.
But if you still see an asterisk next to the drive you are interested in, go to step 3.

  1. Now we need to determine the disk we are interested in by volume and select it with the command "select disk 0» (in your case this may be a different number);

  1. Dial a command "clean » (see figure above), thereby formatting the drive;
  2. Enter « convert mbr".
Ready. Now a 32-bit system can be installed on your PC.

Driver error when installing Windows 7

This error can be caused by one of two problems:

  1. The required media driver was not found;
  2. The required driver for the floppy drive was not found optical disks.
Solution to the “media driver not found” error:
Figure 3. Entering commands into DISKPART utility, open in the command line (cmd.exe)
The simplest thing you can do in case of lack of media driver, is to move the USB flash drive with Windows 7 from the USB 3.0 port (blue) to USB port 2.0 (gray-black). Usually after this the installation proceeds without problems.

There is another way in which you need to download the drivers for your motherboard (or chipset laptop driver) from the manufacturer’s official website and drop them into the root of the flash drive in unpacked form. Then, when re-installing, when this error occurs, you must click on the “Browse” button and select the flash drive on which the unpacked files are located. Figure 5. Window for selecting a disk with drivers.
The drivers will be installed automatically (if suitable) and the process will continue.

Solving the error "no driver found for the optical drive":
Figure 6. Error window about missing optical drive driver.
This problem may occur if you are using a CD with a system image stored on it. Basic possible reasons this error:

  • The installation disk with Windows 7 is poorly written;
  • The DVD drive does not read the disc well.
Therefore, you should make sure that the CD, as well as the drive itself, is working properly. You can try again with another medium (for example, a working USB 2.0 flash drive) or you can try burning another system image onto a new DVD.

When burning a new disc, pay attention to the following points:

  • Be sure to check installation image, as described in the chapter Damaged Windows 7 image;
  • Use a low (preferably minimum) disc writing speed, because... The CD drive may malfunction at particularly high burn speeds.
If you find it difficult to burn a disc yourself, detailed instructions can be viewed on our website:

Problems with specific error codes

Error 0x80070570 when installing Windows 7

This error can be triggered in several cases:

  1. Faulty image (how to check, see heading No. 1);
  2. Problem with the HDD connection and/or in the drives themselves;
  3. Problem with the sticks (one/all) of RAM.
Step 1:
Check the Windows 7 image as described above ().

Step 2:
First of all, be sure to check all connections and cables of your HDD and SSD mounts, after unplugging the computer from the outlet. After all, SATA cables (especially inexpensive ones) tend to wear out, fray, i.e. break down and become unusable.

Next, if this does not help, you need to check the surface of the hard drive: first, use the built-in tool chkdsk, then (as a last resort) with the Victoria or MHDD programs (see the point about checking the hardware).

Step 3:
Check the hardware of the disk or computer as described in the chapter.

Error 0x80070017 when installing Windows 7

Diagnosis of this problem is done in exactly the same way as shown in the example above.

But code 0x80070017 may also appear after malfunctions Update center already completely installed system.

And if the methods described above did not help for error 0x80070570, we try to solve the problem by restarting "Update Center" via the command console. To launch the command line (cmd.exe), you need to do the following:

  • Click on the start button in the lower left corner of the screen.
  • In the window that opens, enter “cmd” in the search bar.
  • The search results will be displayed in the window. You need to select the “cmd.exe” program found by clicking on it.
 To do this, enter the commands presented below sequentially:

  1. net stop wuauserv ;
  2. CD %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution ;
  3. Ren Download Download.old(make sure the Internet is connected);
  4. net start wuauserv .
Ready. The update error has been fixed.

Error 0x80070057 when installing Windows 7

The main methods to solve this problem: To disable backup BIOS image to system drive:

  1. Restart your computer and sign inBIOS.
    For this on the menuSetup you need to press a specific key (Delete, F2, F1, F12 depending on the motherboard) ;
  2. Find the option « Backup BIOS image to HDD" ;
  3. Change the value « Enabled" on « "Disabled" (if possible) → Save changes→ Restart your PC.
Ready. Don't forget to enable backup after successful system installation!

Error 0x8007025d or 0x8007045d when installing Windows 7

If these errors occur, you should also not rush to fully check the hardware of your PC. The main methods to solve this problem: And only after that you can start full diagnostics.

Error 0x80300024 or 0x80300001 when installing Windows 7

« Windows installation cannot be performed to this location»

These errors can occur in two cases:

  1. The drive already contains old copy Windows 7, and installation is performed on incorrect section;
  2. Incorrectly installed controller modeSATA in BIOS.
Method for solving the error for the first case:

Necessary delete partitions created on HDD/SSD, install OS on "Unallocated space"(see picture below): Attention. The following steps involve entering a command to wipe the drive. Make sure that all important data is transferred to backup storage.
Figure 7. Removing disk partitions.

  • Go to tab « Advanced" ;
  • Select item « "System Configuration" by pressing "Enter" ;
  • Switch mode « SATA" on « IDE" (« Compatibility" , if you have a laptop) in the line "SATA Controller Mode" → Save, reboot.
    • Attention! On your PC or laptop SATA Controller Mode may well be located in a different place or absent altogether.

    All information needs to be clarified on the forum of your motherboard manufacturer.

     In most cases the problem will be resolved. Otherwise, check the hardware (see chapter).

    Error 0x000000a5 when installing Windows 7 (accompanied by a BSOD or blue screen of death)

    This problem is mainly related to the BIOS or computer hardware and occurs mainly due to a non-working RAM stick (or all of them at once). Therefore you need: If no hardware problems were found, try using another installation OS image.

    Error 0xc00000e9 when installing Windows 7

    This error is related to computer peripherals. It is possible that while working with the installation wizard, you accidentally touched the flash drive, and it came out of the USB port for a short time, interfering with the process. In this situation, the first thing you need to do is:

    • Disable unnecessary hardware in BIOS;
    • Move the boot drive to another USB connector (preferably 2.0, i.e. a gray USB connector).
    Only if the problem persists, perform a hardware check as described below.

    Error code 0x0000000a

    Error with code 0x0000000a can occur both during the installation of Windows 7, and simply during operation installed windows.
    Detailed description The solution to the problem with this error is included in a separate article: Error code 0x0000000a.

    The operating system image is intact, but using other images does not help. Quick hardware check (Chkdsk, Memtest, Victoria (MHDD))

    You should only skip to this part of the article if you:

    1. Verified the integrity of the image of the system files (the image is correct, writing to other drives did not fix the problem);
    2. We followed all the steps regarding your specific error code, but it did not yield any results.
    In such a situation, the next step is step-by-step hardware check computer software, those. computer components or hardware.
