dear friends .i tried to change my windows 7 to xp but that happend
i used usb_multiboot steps to do it and when i format my hdd and try to install it from the usb i get a lot of missed files to be copied to install xp
i tried to make others xp copies with more than 20 times it show me same(missed files which can not complete install) what can i do?????
Okay so what did you do now? How exactly did you try to install XP. What version of XP did you use, and what error does it give you exactly.
thanks so much for reply
what i do now is crying beside my htc shift ca not do nmothing with message every time say "setup cannot copy the file" and escap alot of file then not complet install
i used 2 copies of xp
tablet and other service pack 3 following usb-multi boot software by format my 2g usb and copy files from my xp source and boot well from usb it show me text install and go on then get copying files to install but that message come over and over "setup cannot copy the file"
what shall i do?
Alright so let me be sure that I have this right. You have tried to install XP from a 2GB USB drive, and it starts to install, then says that it cannot copy a file to the hard drive. Have you formatted your Shifts HDD using the Windows installer, and made sure to format it as NTFS? Also, are you using a legit copy of XP? Sometimes ones that you download from the net have things removed to make them have a smaller footprint once installed, but they also don't install correctly via USB. If you have a real retail XP copy, or have downloaded a copy of plain XP, I would redo your USB stick as it sounds like not all of the files where copied correctly to it. Let me know what happens.
first thanks so much for share and rely
second i formated it to ntsf after make 10g for c and the rest for d
second i downloaded the 2 copies from internet the tablet and the sp3
thanks so much again
i can not study and that bother me a lot cause i use my shift in my study thanks guys
Thats what I thought. You need to format both your USB drive and your Shift's HDD to NTFS. You should be asked what you want to format the HDD as when installing XP onto your Shift from the USB drive. I would also reccomend getting a clean version of XP Service Pack 2 as it seems to be about the most stable version to install from a USB drive. Download/get XP STOCK SP2, no modifications just the stock image, format your USB drive and Shift HDD as NTFS, and try again. Let me know.
thanks man so much i will do your advice and tell you
but i can not get real guide to format my usb to ntsf from windows thanks
Heres a sure fire way to format it as NTFS:
1-Open a command prompt.
2-Enter DISKPART
3-Enter LIST DISK
4-SELECT DISK (X)
CLEAN
CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
SELECT PARTITION 1
ACTIVE
FORMAT FS=NTFS
Replace the (X) with the name of your thumbdrive under My Computer.
Wait for it to finish, then close that window and voila! Your USB drive is formatted as NTFS and ready for use.
sorry
i did it only show my 0 disk of my desktop hard eisk but never show me the usb
Can you format it through My Computer?
thanks man so much i already change my usb stick to 4g ntsf one and it work now great
i am now install the xp sp2 retail
when i finish what shal i do for make other stuff worki like wifi 3g fingerprint and touch screen???/
i did it.........................thanks guys
how to enable 3g and wirless now
and change display??
Just install the drivers from the HTC website and it should work.
thanks man i already done but problem with
intel graphic for xp
wireless
3g
control center
Download the graphics drivers from Intel. You MUST install the Control Center and ECD drivers before the WiFi drivers. After you install the Control Center, go into it and turn on WiFi, Windows will then (hopefully) find a driver and install it. And for 3G I don't know as I don't use my SIM slot on my Shift, I tether my HD2 via WiFi for mobile internet.
thanks so much man you are so good kind person for that great help and care
everything is working now well but the vga and 3g....any way thanks so much
So I caused lots of bugs by messing around with the os and drivers, and I would like to wipe my HDD clean and start over. Is it possible to format the drive and install Windows with the same serial? Will I run into problems with activation? I have never done this before because with Windows 7 I used my factory recovery disk, and I used pirated copies of xp/2000 on my old computer

If you go to the PC settings in the start screen. I has an options for "refreshing windows" and for "reformatting windows". I believe that if you go through it this way, you should be fine. Let me know what you find out.
Well I actually installed twice myself. Was an accident, making breakfast while it installed off a USB thumb drive. It rebooted while I was away, and saw no hint that it had, started answering questions and clicked one too many before I realized it had started over and was already installed. So I had it validate the key twice.
Should be good either way, the key OEM or retail will have the same hash value for the servers so won't flag as a new install.
Previous poster has a point, under more settings from the not metro interface, sorry not at my win 8 box so can't get too detailed, you can tell it to refresh. Should bring it back to the fresh off the disk state.
I became impatient and reinstalled. Everything works fine, but how can I get my metro apps to sync? Do I have to manually install them again?
Timed setup, on my core i7 620m/500gb 7200rpm hdd it took 12:51 from hitting the install button to rebooting to initial setup (account etc.). After completing this in a reasonable amount of time, the computer was ready to use by 17:58. Fastest windows install ever.
Hey guys,
I'm having a bit of an issue with my s4, in my efforts to fix it, I am transferring files to my laptop, I'm using LinuxMint Mate Edition but I get a "can not lock device" error. I can use my windows partition, and it works fine so no problems there, but was seeing if anyone knew how to mount as a hard drive? I've enabled usb debugging and no go.
Mtp shows 2 ipods/media players but no files inside.
Ptp shows a camera, but files are all "corrupted". (they are not, that's just what it's telling me.)
I can put them on windows then access via linux, but I'd like to be able to just boot linux instead of running around.
(my windows is jacked, after x minutes it starts giving up, hard drive is partitioned so linux isn't affected by bad sectors, runs perfectly).
So yeah, any assistance would be most appreciated
Thanks
***edit:
Figured it out.
1. Apparently the ports was iffy, cable had to be just right for data transfer. Switched ports.
2. Look up go-mptfs! Build it from source and you should be good to go for those older linux distros
I can't install Windows 10 Technical Preview on my Samsung RV509 laptop (Core i5 and 6Gigs of RAM). I tried doing a clean install, and once I boot from the flash stick It gets stuck on the Windows logo and the loading dots doesn't appear, so I tried to do an upgrade from Windows 7 and once it restarts it gets stuck on the windows logo and doesn't load after that (I tried both 32 and 64bit versions) then i get the error 0xC1900101-0x20017. So I tried to install it inside a virtual machine and i tried another machine,and it did install just fine. I tried everything I can from trying to launch the setup from the command prompt but still once it restarts it gets stuck on the windows logo. I'm not sure what do I need to do to get it to install and boot. I've tried with every single build since the insider program started till 9926.
I would really appreciate any help in this matter. Thank you.
I think you didn't really tried a clean install, since you wrote that you've tried to upgrade later. Clean install means you erase all traces of previous system installation. Also, it's good to delete all partitions. Maybe you're hard disk is MBR formatted and Windows 10 requires GPT (just a suggestion, I'm not sure about that).
Secondly, are you trying an UEFI install? I've had Win10 for a couple of months now but I remember having problems with starting UEFI installation from USB stick. To do this, you have to change partition layout on usb stick to GPT, then make new primary partition, format it to FAT32 and copy all files from install iso to usb stick. Then you can start your install in UEFI mode and I think this will help you. Just remember to delete all partitions and let Windows create new partition layout for you, this way it will create EFI partition.
If the installer says it can't create partitions in UEFI mode, you will have to change partition layout to GPT by yourselft. You can put your hdd in a PC and use a Windows based tool (search google) or maybe some Linux LiveCD will let you do that without removing your hdd.
All I did was just use demon tools and install over my w7. It installed as Uefi. Don't like it and w10 gave me an option on restart to roll back my system. I did and went back to w7.
You shouldn't use Daemon Tools to install Windows from an ISO. If Windows needs to reference a file inside the Install.wim folder on the disc for any reason, that copy will fail as the disc it's using is not a physical disc, but a virtual one that the new installation has no knowledge of. The best way to install Windows from an ISO is to copy the ISO to a flash drive or to the local hard disk and run setup that way, or use Rufus to create a bootable USB media for installing. That could be related to your error codes.
Thank you sanshinron for your reply. I always do a clean install for windows, the only reason that i tried to upgrade is that the setup didn't even load when booting from a USB stick (stuck on the windows logo). The USB stick was created using Microsoft's "Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool". The same stick loads fine on other PCs. I will try to do what you suggested with the USB stick and give it another try.

I tried both Rufus and ISO2Disk to make the USB stick GPT, but still i'm having the same issue with the setup not loading.

I installed UEFI without a problem, is there a reason your set on GPT?
I tried everything with the USB drive and it just installs fine on other pcs. I guess this could be because of hardware not supported yet by Microsoft in the current windows 10 builds. I found many people having the same issue. I just hoped there could be a fix to get the installer to start
I encountered same boot-hang problem when clean installing Win 8.1, and Win 10 shouldn't be different. My solutions:
Post-install boot-hang: The hang at logo boot happens when I don't format the install-to partitition with Win 8.1 installer (I normally partition/format using another tool, to skip the redundant WinRE partition that Win creates). Formatting with the installer allows the boot to complete (you can still keep the original partitioning).
Pre-install boot-hang: Some PCs are idiosyncratic with USB boot; likewise, some USB sticks are "different" from others. I found that using DiskPart to partition & format the USB stick (like a HDD) works when Rufus & straight formatting wouldn't. This, admittedly from a small sample set of one particular problematic combo. Simpler is just try to use different USB sticks.

This error indicates an update issue.
Try this:
- Ingersoll mini tool partition wizard
- check your disk type
If it's GPT,
- download minitool portable ISO and burn on USB with UUI.
- boot to the application and convert GPT to MBR
- Format the C: partition or wherever the previous windows was installed
- then overwrite it with win10
If it's UEFI change it from the bios. Turn off secure boot and everything.
Try and let me know.
Is there Windows 10 for Nokia Lumia 625?

After using the minitool partition wizard i found out that it was already MBR.

Does that pc have Win8.1 installed with UEFI?
If so, connect installer drive, go to shutdown menu, hold shift, press restart
Then select Use device => UEFI USB

Tried it, but still the same issue.
Then turn off safe boot and try format the whole disk and start Windows installation from scratch?
Only if you want Windows 10 badly and are ready to sacrifice your data.
Caution: This 'might' work. No guarantees.

Tried it, but it didn't work. I think this could be an issue with a hardware that is not supported yet by the preview. I guess i'll have to wait for that to change in next builds.

That might be it cause it's a preview and they sure are known for this kinda issue
Tried build 10041 and still same issue.

My Laptop is SAMSUNG RV509 but with intel core i3 1st Generation and 2 GB of RAM inside
And I have the same problem with you when trying to install Windows 10 Technical Preview even with it's latest version just like you, get stuck at begin of instalation process, Windows logo appear without any waiting animation (circle of dots), and nothing happen after that.
Just like you, I'm trying install it so many time and so many way such as update latest version of BIOS, but nothing change.
So, if you have a solution for our laptop, please take your time to guide me.

Of course, once i find a solution i will post it here, so far no luck.
So I had this old ass desktop donated to me and the hdd was filled with so much crap I couldn't even install rufus to burn an xp iso to a USB drive. So I finally get to my PC, which is not easy to get over to use, and burn an a supposed untouched xp iso with sp3. So I boot up from USB everything seems to be going smoothly I format the entire drive because there were a few partitions on the hdd I figured I didn't need all that crap, if I remember back to around 2003 multiple partitions weren't needed to install xp. Anyways the drive formats fine, I hit install, and run out the door to handle a few errands as I was late meeting with a friend. I get home and I can't remember the exact error it threw at me when I walked in the door but basically I started a reinstall. Except now, everything from my USB drive loads normally but before the installation screee. Actually starts up it tells me that there is no valid xp operating installed on the hd and that I need to insert a windows xp cd to verify that my installation is legit or something like that. So it's either f3 to quit or enter to continue. I hit enter hoping it will read from my USB but that didn't work. So I'm a little stuck here because the only PC I have that can burn cd or DVDs is this desktop.my laptop doesn't have a rw drive.
