RC1 on Toshiba Tectra A4 (and others?) Solution

D

David Weemys

Have been searching the forum for months trying to find a solution to
the halting installation, usually thought to have been associated with
crcdisk.sys.

The problem is in fact caused by pcmcia.sys files! To get round this,
you need to delete or rename two files, but this can't be done from the
safe mode command prompt, due to permissions.

Instead, reboot from the install dvd and go to repair, then command
prompt. Locate and rename the following files...

ren c:\windows\system32\drivers\pcmcia.sys >>>> pcmcia.old
ren c:\windows\system32\driverstore\filerepository\pcmcia.inf_539d553e
Phew! 3 months of daily searching of the newsgroup are over! :)

This got me past the problem. Unbelievable. You'd think that with all the
posts about this, microsoft would solve the prob.

This solved my problem, only difference was the file name in the repository
folder,
after the "pcmcia.inf_" the numbers where a bit different.

Hey guys I have an M45-S265 do you think this workaround will go for me? I
have the same exact issue and you.

I have the M45-S265 as well, and this fix does not work for me.

I have tryed 4 differnt install versions, from RC1 to Retail, and differnt
combo's of install (IE basic vs. Ultimate) and have tryed upgrading from XP
pro, and clean installs from formatted drive.

If anyone has ANY info that could help PLEASE let me know! :)
