Most of the errors that you encounter during the Windows installation process are quite typical, but there are also some very unusual ones that can confuse even an experienced user. You start the installation, but even before the files are copied, the process is suddenly interrupted and the wizard displays an error "The license agreement could not be found. Check that the installation source is correct and restart the installation".
This rare error can appear when installing Windows either on a virtual machine or on "iron".
Attempts to start the installation again lead to nothing, the error is repeated over and over again. There may be several reasons for such a strange problem, including those that are in no way related to licensing. When installing Windows on a hypervisor Hyper-V The error may occur if the virtual machine does not have enough RAM allocated.
For normal operation Windows 8.1 And 10 on a virtual or very real computer there must be at least 1 GB RAM, otherwise the installation will end with a crash to BSOD or, which is much less common, an error. Alternatively, if the disk is already partitioned, you can try creating a swap file on the system partition just before starting the installation. To do this, in the installer wizard window, press Shift + F10 and run the command wpeutil createpagefile /path=D:\pf.sys .
When installing the system on "iron" The error described above may occur if the Windows distribution is damaged. Check the checksums of the image you are using, if they match the original, rewrite it to media, or even better, use another installation image or disk. If installing from optical media, check the fit DVD-disk in the drive, it is possible that it was not positioned quite correctly, which is why the laser was unable to read part of the data.
Finally, the error may be caused by a mismatch between the edition and the system key specified in the product identifier file pid.thxt. The problem in this case is solved as follows. Create a text file in Notepad and paste these two lines into it:
OEM
Save the file as ei.cfg and drop it into the directory sources on the installation flash drive, if it is ISO-image, add the created file to the distribution, repacking the image using Ultra ISO or similar program.
Question: Error when installing Windows 7 on an old desktop computer.
Hello everyone! I've been installing Windows all my life and have never encountered such a problem. I have an old desktop computer (processor: Celeron, nvidia geforce 6600 video card)
This computer has Windows 7, I wanted to reinstall it.
During installation it writes an error:
The license agreement could not be found. Verify that the installation source is correct and restart the installation.
Although everything works fine on a Sony Vaio laptop.
I thought it was a problem with Windows itself. I downloaded another image. Same problem! I tried recording in 2x mode. Does not help.
I installed it on virtual box, everything was ok!
It's 100% about the computer. What should I do?
Answer: Here is a screenshot of crystallinfo:
I tested the memory with memtest for 3 hours, not a single error.
I install from a DVD.
There are two DDR2 boards of 256 MB each. I tried to install it with one board, it didn’t work, it wrote an error in English that the hardware had been changed.

Hello, I need help, when installing Windows 8.1 it gives an error: 0x8007000D appears immediately after clicking the “Install” button, which comes after selecting languages (3 points, to be more precise), what should I do?
Answer: Try formatting the flash drive and re-burning the image.
You can also try another flash drive. Also, just in case, check the flash drive with the checkbox checked and repair damaged sectors.
Question: After installing Windows 7, the USB ports, touchpad, and Internet do not work
after buying a laptop x540lj, which had Windows 10. I decided to install Windows 7. and now after installing Windows 7, the usb ports, touchpad, and Internet do not work. what to do?
Answer:
efjifwe, installing Windows is an incomplete matter. To do this, you need to install drivers, which can be downloaded from the official website of your laptop manufacturer.
If there really are no drivers for Windows 7, then you need to return the version of Windows that was originally installed.
And, by the way, if you still have a warranty, then you reinstalled Windows in vain, since this will simply void your warranty.
Question: Windows installation error "does not read the hard drive"
Good day to all. I was thinking about where to post my question, in the hardware section or here - it was decided.
Actually to the problem.
Asus computer (tablet), t100. Hard drive 500 GB. When installing Windows on it, it categorically refuses to cooperate. The error says, "The installer does not support disk configuration or installation on disks that are connected via USB or IEEE 1394 ports," quote.
Preface: For the time being, everything worked, but the device was given to a lady for use and now, Windows does not read the hard drive.
You poke it, it takes a long time to load, and the conductor hangs. It was decided to demolish everything and rebuild it. I removed the old Windows and started installing the new one, oops! The disk is not formatted. I put it on what I had (the system allocated 30 GB). I installed it, it works, but there is still no disk, says Windows. But I see him!
I thought, Let’s put the same hard drive in another laptop and try to install it from the same bootable flash drive.
Yeah! Schaz! In Bios, my ACER sees the hard drive, but it doesn’t boot from it, not even from a flash drive. Although she is working!
Actually, that’s the whole problem. I'm attaching photos of how it would be without them...
Photo:
1 - the problem itself (what Windows writes during installation)
2 - the same partition that is not formatted
3 - visual absence of the disk itself when loading Windows
4.5 - BIOS version and working boot menu
6,7,8 - a test laptop from which nothing loads and a working boot menu for my ACER.
Answer: I figured it out myself. I started creating a section. Indicated the letter of the future disk, indicated Not quick formatting.
Half an hour passes, he formats everything. Clicking and ringing sounds began. Turned off the computer.
Added after 2 minutes
I turn on the computer and the same grinding noise starts from the hard part.
Question: Installing Windows 8 on a USB flash drive
Microsoft has provided the ability to install Windows 8 not only on an SSD or HDD, but also on regular USB flash drives. The feature is called Portable Workspace, and thanks to it, users will have the opportunity to create a Portable version of the OS that will always be with them. A video has already appeared on YouTube demonstrating the installation of the system on a USB drive.
To create a bootable flash drive, you will need the Windows 8 Enterprise Edition (or Ultimate) distribution. In addition, the storage capacity must be appropriate - at least 16 GB.
Answer:
1.
Download the utility Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool 1.0
(The Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool utility allows you to install the Windows 7\8 operating system from a USB drive, and not from an optical disk, as usual. This utility works perfectly with both Windows 7 and Windows 8).
If you don’t know which version of Windows 8 to use, I recommend installing the 64-bit build (especially if your computer is relatively new).
64-bit Windows 8 differs from 32-bit in that it requires 1GB more RAM and 4GB more disk space, which is insignificant for most users.
Create a bootable USB flash drive with Windows 8.
To create a bootable USB flash drive, you need to insert it into your computer. Next, install the Windows 7 USB/DVD utility and launch it. In the utility, select the downloaded ISO image from Windows 8 and the desired flash drive.
Remember, everything on your flash drive will be erased! So copy all important data from it in advance, or it’s better to use a new flash drive.
If completed successfully, a message like “Backup completed” will appear.
Installing Windows 8
It is worth noting that you should back up all important data before performing the installation. If you want to upgrade or overwrite your installed Windows XP, Vista or 7, open the root directory of your USB flash drive in Windows Explorer, and then run the Setup.exe file.
You will see a choice prompt that will allow you to save settings, personal files, etc., save only personal files, or save nothing:
Windows 7 users can choose the first option - after all, upgrading to Windows 8 is less painful for them - all their Windows settings, programs, accounts and files are imported. However, programs from Vista and programs and settings from Windows XP will not be saved.
If you want to create a two-boot system from Windows 8 and your current operating system, you will have to install an additional drive on your computer or create a new partition on the current drive.
The first case does not require additional explanation: we simply connect another drive to the computer and select it when installing Windows 8.
The second case is more complicated and requires additional effort. Vista and 7 users can create a new partition using the built-in disk management tool (Click the Start button and search for diskmgmt.msc). After launching the application, you should see the disk of your operating system. We do the following:
- Right-click on the drive on which you want to install Windows 8 and select the “Shrink Volume” option. Remember that Windows 8 64-bit requires at least 20GB of space, so shrink your partition accordingly;
- Right-click on the new “Unallocated” location and create a “New Simple Volume”;
- Select the next available drive letter and format it to NTFS (you can choose any drive name, but the recommended one: Windows 8 RP x64).
In turn, Windows XP users will have to resort to third utilities, such as Partition Logic, to create a new partition. But, in essence, they need to do the same thing: compress one of their volumes and create another.
After that, we simply boot from our USB flash drive with Windows 8, select manual installation and specify the newly created partition. If you can’t boot from a flash drive, you need to specify booting from it in the BIOS.
If you want to remove Windows 8, load your main operating system and run the partition program again (for Vista and 7 users, this is the aforementioned disk management tool). Delete the Windows 8 volume and expand your primary volume to take up the newly freed space.
Removing Windows 8 may corrupt the bootloader and prevent the main operating system from loading. But don't panic. To fix the problem, Windows Vista and 7 users can use automatic recovery (from the installation disk), while XP users will have to boot into the recovery console and then enter the commands fixmbr, fixboot, exit.
2. If application Microsoft Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool seems too complicated, you can use a simpler option - the program Windows 8 USB Installer Maker.
The sequence of steps to create a bootable USB flash drive with Windows 8 using the program is as follows:
We are preparing a flash drive with a capacity of at least 4GB.
Download the Windows 8 distribution
Download the Windows 8 USB Installer Maker program itself (or take it)
Launch the program Windows 8 USB Installer Maker with administrator rights:
To start recording, you just need to select the previously downloaded Windows 8 image using the button Search ISO, tick Format drive and press the button Create.
Next, the program will perform three actions:
- Format the disk to NTFS format;
- Copies all Windows 8 distribution files to a USB flash drive. Please note that this step will take a long time depending on the power of the computer - maybe even one to two hours;
- Creates a bootable region (MBR) partition on the USB.
Then we go into the BIOS and configure boot from USB.
Reboot the PC. After this, when you boot, the installation of Windows 8 from the USB flash drive should automatically begin.

7. Next, another local disk is created in the same way from the " Unused disk space"
Important - to continue installing windows, you must allocate drive C, in this case it is Partition 2
You can create additional local disks after installing Windows (steps 5,6,7 are not needed for this). Disks are created using the Disk Management utility.
Question: Installing windows 98
Hello. I have a task to install windows 98. I have a boot floppy disk and an installation disk.
I formatted the second hard drive in FAT32 and made it the main one in the BIOS.
The installation has started. But after Windows copies the files, the computer must reboot. So, after this reboot, the message “verifying dmi pool data........” appears and does not go further. The cursor blinks and that's it.
Help me figure it out please
Answer:
When installing Windows, various types of problems may arise, and one of them is the appearance of a message at a certain installation stage:
The license agreement could not be found.
What is this error? Fortunately, in most cases it is far from critical and very easily solved. The error message itself states that you need to check that the installation source is specified correctly. However, this information is presented somehow incorrectly. And it can confuse the average person. Here Microsoft, when talking about the installation source, obviously means bootable media with the system. However, it is then unclear how the absence of a step to accept the license terms can affect the correctness of its designation as a priority boot device. For example, when a user mistakenly starts a computer from the wrong DVD or flash drive.
Even if there are several bootable media with Windows installation processes connected to the computer, how does choosing the wrong DVD, flash drive, or even network affect the lack of acceptance of the license terms on another, correct media? Of course, here we can only talk about problems:
- with the distribution ISO file itself,
- incorrect distribution record;
- used DVDs or flash drives, in particular about their damage.
Damaged distribution
Windows distribution images may be damaged. And more often this concerns, naturally, pirated assemblies of the system, which came, so to speak, from the pen of novice assemblers or experimental assemblers. Experimenting, alas, on you and me. In this case, you just need to download the system distribution from the official Microsoft web resource and rewrite the installation media. For these purposes, the software giant has specially provided the MediaCreationTool utility on its website. With its participation, you can always download the latest Windows 10 distribution and even (in a single download process) burn it to a flash drive.
Media problems
It may also be that problems at the stage of accepting license terms appear due to poor readability of the image files responsible for this stage of the process. You need to make sure that everything is in order with the boot device. In particular, try other options - take another blank or flash drive. If there is no spare flash drive, you can try to deal with the only one and, for example, subject it to low-level formatting.
Nuances with Hyper-V
In the case of Hyper-V virtual machines that are configured to enable dynamic changes in the amount of RAM, an error at the stage of accepting the license agreement may occur even if everything is in order with the Windows installation ISO file. In this case, you just need to restart the OS installation process on the virtual machine, while pausing the work of other machines if they are active.
