Windows could not configure ошибка

Symptoms

When you perform a clean installation of Windows 7 or of Windows Server 2008 R2, you may receive the following error message during the device-detection phase of setup:

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

This error can occur when you try to install Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 on a system if the following situation is true on your PC: 

• You are installing by using Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 RTM media. 

  Note: Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 (SP1) and Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1 are not affected by this issue.

• Your system has an Intel storage controller that is configured to «RAID» mode in the BIOS. (This is a standard setting for many PC manufacturers)

• The hard drive you are installing to ia an «Advanced Format» disk.

  Note Advanced Format disks have a physical sector size of 4 kilobytes and a logical emulated sector size of 512 bytes. «Advanced Format» is a new technology being adopted by PC manufacturers to increase media format efficiency which will lead to larger capacity hard drives. If you are replacing a hard drive in an older PC, you may be more likely to encounter this issue.

How do I know if I have this issue?

To determine whether your system is affected by this issue, follow these steps:

1. Insert a Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 DVD into your DVD drive, and then close the drive.

2. Restart your computer, and then press a key on the keyboard when you receive the following message:

   Press any key to boot from CD or DVD

3. Set the following preferences, and then click Next.

   • Language to install

   • Time and currency format

   • Keyboard or input method

4. On the next screen, select Repair your computer.

5. In the System Recover Option dialog box, select the drive that you tried to install Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2.

6. In the Choose a Recovery Tool box, select Command Prompt.

7. Change to the drive that you want to install Windows on. (In a standard installation, this is drive C.) Type Notepad, and then press ENTER.

8. In Notepad, click Open on the File menu, and then browse to %systemroot%\Panther.

   Note On a standard installation to drive C, the path is C:\Windows\Panther. (On most PCs this will be the C:\Panther folder)

9. Open the file setuperr.log, and look for lines that resemble these:

   2010-09-23 17:34:58, Error [0x0f0082] SYSPRP LaunchDll:Failure occurred while executing ‘C:\Windows\System32\scecli.dll,SceSysPrep’, returned error code 1208[gle=0x000003e5]
   2010-09-23 17:34:59, Error [0x060435] IBS Callback_Specialize: An error occurred while either deciding if we need to specialize or while specializing; dwRet = 0x4b8

   Note If these lines and errors exist, note the errors.

10. Open the setupact.log file that is located in the same directory, and then look for the line that resembles the following line:

    2010-09-23 17:31:26, Info SYSPRP SPPNP: iaStorV is the function driver for device PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2822&SUBSYS_2819103C&REV_02\3&33FD14CA&0&FA

    Note If this line exists, it indicates that the drive on which you are trying to install Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 is configured in a RAID configuration.

Cause

This error occurs because of an issue with the Intel storage controller driver that’s included in the released versions of Windows 7 and of Windows Server 2008 R2. This issue is resolved in Windows 7 SP1 and in Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1.

Resolution

To help resolve this issue and install Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 on your computer, follow these steps. Method 1 is the easiest and preferred method. If you cannot complete method 1, try method 2.

Method 1: Download the appropriate drivers for your hard disk drive

Download and install the latest drivers for your Windows 7-based or Windows Server 2008 R2-based computer. To do this by using another computer, visit the following Intel website and download the appropriate drivers for your hard disk drive (either 32-bit or 64-bit) to a flash drive. Or, burn the drivers onto a CD or DVD. The flash drive or the disc will then be used during setup of Windows 7 or of Windows Server 2008 R2.

2. Save this downloaded driver to a DVD or USB flash drive or an external hard drive that can be taken to the PC that you’re installing Windows to.

3. Next, start the installation of Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 and watch for the Load Driver option. You will see this option on the Where do you want to install Windows? screen in the lower right corner.

4. Connect the USB flash or external drive to the computerthat you’re installing Windows or take the Windows DVD out of the drive and put the driver DVD into the drive. (You will put the Windows DVD back into that drive after the driver is loaded)

5. Click Load Driver, (clicking this option checks removable media for storage controller drivers)

6. Once the driver is loaded, continue with the Windows setup.

The Advanced Drive Format hard drive will be recognized and Setup will continue as expected.

Method 2: Change the BIOS hard disk drive setting to AHCI or IDE

Warning This procedure may involve changing your hard disk drive settings in the BIOS. Incorrect changes to the BIOS of your computer can result in serious problems. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems that result from changes to the BIOS can be resolved. Change the BIOS settings at your own risk. Incorrect or corrupted BIOS settings can cause startup problems or shutdown problems.

You can change the hard disk drive setting in the BIOS to AHCI or to IDE if the hard disk drive setting is currently set to a RAID configuration. If you set the hard disk drive to AHCI or to IDE, you do not have to install the driver that you obtained in method 1.

Microsoft cannot provide specific instructions for how to change the BIOS settings because they are specific to your computer. For information about the correct BIOS settings for your computer and how to check and change these settings, see your computer documentation, or contact the manufacturer of your computer.

Some users when installing a Feature Update or full install/re-install of  Windows 11 or Windows 10 may receive the error Windows setup could not configure Windows to run on this computer’s hardware right after or during the “Completing installation” stage of the process. The installation process will not continue past the error. If you restart the computer, the install process will arrive back at the same error with no further progress. In this post, we will provide the solution for both cases of when performing a feature update or installing Windows 11/10 and you encounter this error.

This error is triggered due to a number of reasons such as corrupted update’s installation files (especially during a major update such as the Windows 11/10 Feature Updates), an unseen problem with the Windows Update services, Windows activation error (if you’re installing Windows 11/10), OS system file error, or even conflicts between existing software.

If you were installing Windows 11/10 and the error occurred, you can try the following steps to resolve this issue:

1. Manually run msoobe.exe to finish the install
2. Change some BIOS settings
3. Stop overclocking your CPU
4. Check for and manually install problematic drivers

Let’s check out these steps in detail.

1] Manually run msoobe.exe to finish the install

A possible resolution to this issue is to manually run the msoobe.exe program (which ensures the Microsoft Windows version is activated and registered properly) to allow the install to complete.

Here’s how to manually run the msoobe.exe program:

• While on the screen where the error appears, press Shift+F10 to bring up the command prompt.
• Type or copy and paste the command below (replace the x place-holder with the actual drive letter where Windows is installed and hit Enter.

CD x:\windows\system32\oobe

• Next, type the command below in succession and hit Enter.

msoobe

You may then be prompted to create an account name and password and set the time and date.

• Click Finish when done

If this is a retail version of Windows 11/10, you may also be prompted to enter a product key for Windows 11/10. Enter the product key and click Finish.

The installation process should then be complete and allow the computer to boot into Windows.

2] Change some BIOS settings

There are certain settings in BIOS which work great for older versions of the Windows operating system but they display poor execution on Windows 11/10 and it can often cause this error to occur. In this case, do the following:

• Restart your computer and press a specific key to boot into BIOS.
• Locate the SATA option in BIOS. This item can be located under different tabs depending on different manufacturers, and usually, they can be the Advanced tab, Integrated Peripherals, etc.
• When you locate it, change it to IDE, RAID, ATA or AHCI and save the change. Note that even if it’s not SATA that is originally there, you can still change it to something else.

Pro tip: ATA is the most reasonable option for the process of installing new updates or upgrading.

Remember to change the settings back to their original state after you have finished with the process and installed Windows 11/10 successfully on your computer.

3] Stop overclocking your CPU

Overclocking is a process where you change the frequency and speed of your processor to a greater value and above the recommended factory settings. This can give your PC a significant speed advantage.

In this case, returning your CPU’s rate and frequency to its original state depends on which software you used to overclock in the first place.

4] Check for and manually install problematic drivers

You can check this by disconnecting or disabling various devices on your computer via Device Manager. After which you can restart the installation process and check to see when the error does not appear. If so, that device is causing problems.

Pro tip: It has been known that the hard disk drivers is usually the culprit here. So check that first.

You should see the following message when you choose the install option if you are really having problems with your drivers in the first place:

To continue installation, use the Load Driver option to install 32-bit and signed 64-bit drivers. Installing an unsigned 64-bit device driver is not supported and might result in an unusable windows installation.

This usually means that the driver for that specific device is not installing properly and you may need to load it manually. Here’s how:

• Download the driver for the problematic device from the manufacturer’s website.
• Save the driver to a USB flash drive or external hard drive.
• Connect the device to the computer which you are installing Windows on.
• Start the system installation, watch for Load Driver and click this option.
• Once the driver is loaded, proceed with the installation of Windows.

The process should be completed successfully.

Now the solutions outlined above is for when you encounter ‘Windows Setup could not configure Windows to run on this computer’s hardware’ error during installation of Windows 11/10. If however, you encounter this error during a feature update, you can try the following solution.
