ERROR 0X8007045D while installing win7

casiopea · Mar 29, 2011

Hi,

yesterday I had a major crashdown on my Win7, I tried startup repair and custom install, but it was useless

Today I decided to format the disk and make a clean install of Windows.

Boot from DVD and try to install ... when goes to 10 - 20% give me this error: 0x8007045D

Telling me that Window can´t install the required files, "make sure all the files are available and restart install". I tried with a different DVD but the result is the same.

I need to work and I can't install Windows.

Someone can help me?

Regards,

unfortunately you will lose your data this way. I didn't see you saying anything that indicated this was a problem for you though.

Please don't double post, it makes helping very complicated as I had already replied to you at your 'other' post.

Hello casiopea, welcome to Seven Forums!

Have you tried a complete wipe of the entire Hard Disk Drive, it is much more comprehensive than a format, it writes zeroes to the whole HDD over-writing all the old data; have a thorough look at the information presented below and be sure to post back with any further questions you may have and to keep us informed.

After you have copied out or made back-ups of the data you need to save to external media, use Step One of this tutorial at the first link below to do a wipe (secure erase) to the entire Hard Disk Drive / Solid State Drive.

Then if you do not want to create the new Windows 7 "System Reserved" partition use the outline in Step Two #2 to create, format and mark Active a single 100GB partition to do the installation to.

If you do want to create the "System Reserved" partition use the outline in Step Two #3 to create, format and mark Active the System Reserved partition and then create and format the 100GB partition to do the installation to.

Either way, running the "clean all" then creating and formatting the partition(s) using diskpart will get you the best possible space to do a clean install of Windows 7 to; you can always extend the Windows partition to include the remaining unallocated space on the HDD / SSD or create additional Primary partitions or an Extended partition after the installation completes if you choose.

Did you run Startup Repair three separate times with reboots from the DVD Repair console or Repair CD, after confirming that your 100mb System Reserved Partition is marked Active?

SSD / HDD : Optimize for Windows Reinstallation

Hi Bare Foot Kid, sorry for the double post, I was not sure were to post my problem.
this is the thing, I tried to start with your indications, but in this step...

4) Running the "clean all" command on a SSD / HDD takes a good bit of time, remember it's writing zeroes ( 0's ) to the entire drive, I've done quite a few of these, here's some examples a 500GB HDD took just at 2 hours, my 80GB SSD takes around 20 minutes and the "virtual" 20GB drive in a VM takes about 7 minutes to complete.

When it finishes you'll get "DiskPart succeeded in cleaning the disk" in the command window.

I got this message:
"Diskpart has found an error: the system couldn´t find the specified file. Please check the system event registry to obtain more information."

Could you please help me with this?

thanks very much

Bare Foot Kid · Mar 29, 2011

Hello again.

Just to make sure, you have to boot the Windows installation DVD to run the clean all, have a look at this tutorial at the link below to make sure this is the way you are running it.

DISKPART : At PC Startup

One question though, where did you get the Windows 7 installation media?

casiopea · Mar 29, 2011

Hi Bare Foot,
I did it just as the tutorial says, in the language window I pressed Shift+f10 and then worked in the cmd

Can this problem be caused by a failure in the Windows installation disc?

gregrocker · Mar 29, 2011

Again, where did you get Win7? Did you burn the DVD yourself? IF so, burn another using ImgBurn at 4x speed. Confirm the ISO integrity by checking HASH against official Win7 HASH: Windows 7 RTM SHA-1 hash - checksums

Hi gregrocker, sorry for the late reply,
I burn two different copies, both using ImgBurn at 4x speed.
I will do the checkings you pint and let you know!

Where did you get Win7?

Hi Greg, sorry I didn´t answer that. My brother gave my a copy of his. We don´t live nearby, that´s why he uploaded it for me, I downladed and burnt the ISO file into a dvd.
I did it with ImgBurn at 4x as you say

I tried to run it again las night, and now it has been about 10 hours with the blinking cursor.
I have a WD 1.5 tb, is it reasonabe or something is not working?
anyway, I have to leave my house now, so I will give it a couple more hours, and see when I come back.
If it didn´t work I will follow your advice.

Many thanks to all, hope I can fix this, or unless know what´s going on

gregrocker · Mar 30, 2011

Where did your brother get Win7? How do you plan to activate it?

You'll need to verify the source ISO integrity and burn before we can proceed because this is likely a corrupt ISO or bad burn.

Bare Foot Kid · Mar 30, 2011

Here's a suggestion.

We are now seeing some have serious issues getting Windows 7 to install completely to such large spaces/partitions as 1 & 2TB Hard Disk Drives, you may have better success creating a single 100GB partition to do the install to; then you can always extend the Windows partition to include the remaining unallocated space on the HDD or create additional Primary partitions or create an Extended partition after the installation completes if you choose.

SSD / HDD : Optimize for Windows Reinstallation

Since you already did the clean all, boot to diskpart again and run the clean command as opposed to the clean all, the clean will over-write all format configuration data on the HDD then you create a single 100GB partition to do the install to after the clean finishes (takes 2 seconds) like in Step Two of the same tutorial.

DISKPART : At PC Startup

Note

Then if you do not want to create the new Windows 7 "System Reserved" partition use the outline in Step Two #2 to create, format and mark Active a single 100GB partition to do the installation to.
If you do want to create the "System Reserved" partition use the outline in Step Two #3 to create, format and mark Active the System Reserved partition and then create and format the 100GB partition to do the installation to.

casiopea · Mar 30, 2011

ok, I´ll try to run a test and then a WRITE ZEROES with the WD utility, so that I leave the win7 disc out of the question.
Once I get that results I´ll solve the win7 disc problem

many thanks for your help!

Sorry Bare Foot Kid, I have missed this one. I don´t know if I was clear, but the 'clean all' wasn't succesfull, I just kept blinking but never got to the "DiskPart succeeded in cleaning the disk" sign.
You mean I should do the 'clean' only even if 'clean all' didn´t work?
What I also don´t understand is if the 'clean all' can fail because of a failure in the installation CD. I thought it was like that, that´s why I thought about doing the WRITE ZEROES through the WD aplication.

Anyway, I thought it would be wise to do a check on the disk for phisycal problems, as indeed I´m not sure if it is damaged.

Please let me know your thinking about this so I can decide how to move on

and again, many thanks to you all for your help,

You are aware the clean all would probably take around/close to 6 hours to complete on a 1.5TB HDD?

If the cursor kept blinking that may mean the clean all had not finished.

Use the clean command to see if it completes, it'll only take a couple seconds to see if that completes, if it does complete create and mark active a single 100GB partition and see if the install will start.

thanks! It´s been 16 hours of blinking, so that´s why I asume it failed.
I will try the clean command and see if it completes

thanks!

Everything failed, specially WD diagnostics, so RMA, I´ll get a replacement next week.

many thanks to everybody, I believe this post can be closed

Bare Foot Kid · Mar 31, 2011

Hello again.

Too bad to see there's no resolution but at least there's an RMA and thanks for the update.

If we can ever assist you further please don't hesitate to post back, we'll be here.
