Installation stops! storport.sys

[Nocturnal]

Hi i've tried to install w7 but installation keeps stopping, i can't even reach to where you choose to install...
I get a error then in storport.sys, i've tried the x86, and x64, of the 7600, and from the RC's, without success in none... And i tried all these with only 1 gb of ram...
I've got a P5N32-E SLI PLUS, a intel e8500, 4 gb ram, and i'm installing win 7 in a 80gb empty disc..
Can anyone help me?
(Sry for the bad english)

A few questions ... How are you installing ?

a) From a bootable DVD
b) From a Thumb Drive
c) From pre extracted ISO files

Storeport errors sometimes happen on machines with 4 gigs or more ram. look here You randomly receive a "Stop 0x0000000A" error in Storport.sys when you start Windows Vista

try removing half and re-install

You know he may have been ok but you may have hardware that requires a file that is missing on the ISO. Probably should download a new image from microsoft and try re-installing. If its not the image the only thing I can think of would be in bios.

Similar Problem

I have the same motherboard and the same issue with the current install CD. I also was able to install an early build with no trouble. Does anyone have any suggestions other than removing the RAM? I'm going to reboot and try that shortly.

Have you read the SevenForums Questions list for hints & tips ?

I haven't read those yet, thanks, I'll give them a try.

Does anyone yet know what uses storport.sys as a driver?

This article is about the same as the one posted earlier. Was the update installed or do you already have it?

Error message when you try to install Windows Vista on a computer that uses more than 3 GB of RAM: "STOP 0x0000000A"

Does anyone remember the times when we went from Win 98 to XP, I believe, where the suggestion was to uninstall the devices in Device Manager prior to the upgrade. I wonder if such a thing could be used for an in-place upgrade of Vista?

Anybody see this one yet.

Latest Storage Driver Versions... Please note this post was last updated July 15th, 2009.

There are links to drivers.


Any over clocking CPU, GPU, RAM?

BIOS updated and set to defaults.

What graphics card(s)? Which Cable used to connect to monitor?

If you can answer the questions from Doc's link, it would help everyone.

This article applies to Vista, but you may find something useful. It concerns migrating drivers.

A computer may restart unexpectedly, and the operating system is rolled back to the previous operating system during an upgrade to Windows Vista

Is the Storport.sys really a SCSI driver? Can the controller be removed from the system or turned off in the Bios until after the install?

I tried removing all but 1 stick of RAM, so I'm down to 2 GB. With the RAM removed, instead of getting a bluescreen, the machine reboots at the point where it bluescreened before. Unfortunately, between the time I first posted this and now, I was taking out the RAM and dropped the machine, so it may have new problems now. The bluescreen predates the drop, however. I'm installing from a bootable DVD downloaded from MSDN. It's the latest Ultimate x64 DVD as of last week, I'll try to obtain the build number. I burned it using Free Create Burn ISO, but I did not use a slow speed. I can retry with a slower speed, since I've had several discs fail, but all were high-speed burns. I'm trying to do a clean install, but the partition I'm using does contain remnants of an old vista system. I have a non-booting Vista partition and a working Ubuntu install on a couple of other partitions. Since I've never gotten far enough to select a partition, I'm guessing that's not causing the problem. I last updated my BIOS a few months ago, so I'll check whether there are any new revisions. I'm not doing any overclocking. I'm connecting the 8800 GTS to the monitor via the DVI cable that came with the monitor. As far as I know, the system does not have actual SCSI, just SATA, and I'm attempting to install from an SATA dvd-rom onto an SATA hard disk, so disabling it isn't really going to work. I can try unplugging everything else and using VGA, but I'll have to use a DVI->VGA converter. I'm not sure if that nullifies the difference. Thanks for the suggestions everyone.

I would definitely try re-burning the DVD or better yet put it on a USB memory key.
If you burn another DVD, burn at x2.

Can't find much info on your MOBO, if you have 'Cool & Quite' or something similar turn it off in BIOS. We've seen several instances where this helped.

Hi,

Did you find a solution? Did you manage to install Windows7? I have the same problem as you and found nothing useful on the Internet to solve this ...

Thanks
