upgrade - How to resolve Windows 10 installation error FIRST_BOOT, MIGRATE_DATA?


Trying to update my German Windows 8.1. Professional to Windows 10, it fails after about half an hour with the (German) error message:


enter image description here




We've set your PC back to the way it was just before you started installing Windows 10.


0x80070004 - 0x3000D
The installation failed in the FIRST_BOOT phase with an error during MIGRATE_DATA operation



I've looked into the Windows Event log (and found nothing meaningful) and also did a Google search which leads to this chinese post which suggests a solution that I do not understand (after translating).


My question:


Any hints on how to resolve the error that occurs during the installation?


Update 1:


The chinese post Google-translated to English suggests:



We recommend that you set for automatic windows update. If the download is complete, in which tips off network may try to install during the installation stage.


If that does not work, please wait for a new installation after the 29th win10 official release!



Update 2:


I did again try to install:



  1. Install all Windows 8.1 updates through Windows Update.

  2. Reboot just to be sure.

  3. Check again if any missing Windows Updates (none).

  4. Try to upgrade again to Windows 10.


Unfortunately one hour later the upgrade was canceled again with the same error.



Answer



Finally I've got a working solution, based on this tweet:



  1. Disable all antivirus tools (I've had no external tools beside the Windows-built-in, so nothing to do here for me).

  2. Follow the instructions in the KB article.


The KB article shows a script to run, after installing a MSI.


I've had to adjust the script since the Windows user group account administrators is named administratoren in my German Windows 8.1.


After running the adjusted script (for about 10-20 minutes), I've launched the Windows 10 setup again and it ran k.


I'm now writing this from my Windows 10 and seem to be happy.


Update


Since the Microsoft KB article seems to be removed, I've opened the Google Cache version of the KB article and copying the relevant information here.


From the KB article:



Error 0x80070005 in Windows Update when you try to install updates


Resolution


Error code 0x80070005 is also known as "ACCESS DENIED." It usually occurs when you lack file or registry permissions that are required to install the update. (Because file or registry permissions may be changed by malware, we recommend that you scan for malware after you repair the permissions.)


To resolve the issue, make sure that you are logged on as an administrator, and then install the updates again. If the problem continues, use the SubInACL tool to repair file and registry permissions. To do this, follow these steps:




  1. Download the SubInACL tool (Mirror), and install it to the default path that is offered by the installer. The default path will be one of the following, depending on your version of Windows:



    • %ProgramFiles%\Windows Resource Kits\Tools (32-bit versions of Windows)

    • %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Windows Resource Kits\Tools (64-bit versions of Windows)




  2. Start Notepad, and then copy and paste the following commands:


    @echo off

    setlocal

    echo.
    echo Determine whether we are on an 32 or 64 bit machine
    echo.

    if "%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%"=="x86" if "%PROCESSOR_ARCHITEW6432%"=="" goto x86

    set ProgramFilesPath=%ProgramFiles(x86)%

    goto startResetting

    :x86

    set ProgramFilesPath=%ProgramFiles%

    :startResetting

    echo.

    if exist "%ProgramFilesPath%\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\subinacl.exe" goto filesExist

    echo ***ERROR*** - Could not find file %ProgramFilesPath%\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\subinacl.exe. Double-check that SubInAcl is correctly installed and re-run this script.
    goto END

    :filesExist

    pushd "%ProgramFilesPath%\Windows Resource Kits\Tools"

    subinacl.exe /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /grant=administrators=f  /grant=system=f
    subinacl.exe /subkeyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER /grant=administrators=f  /grant=system=f
    subinacl.exe /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /grant=administrators=f  /grant=system=f
    subinacl.exe /subdirectories %windir% /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f

    echo FINISHED.
    echo. 
    echo Press any key to exit . . .
    pause >NUL

    popd

    :END

    endlocal


  3. Save the file as Reset.cmd. (Super User note: English download, German download)



  4. Right-click the Reset.cmd file in File Explorer (in Windows 8.1 and Windows 8) or Windows Explorer (in Windows 7 and Windows Vista), and then click Run as administrator. In Windows XP, double-click the file in Windows Explorer.

  5. Wait until the execution finishes, and then try to install the update again.


Note If you receive errors when you run SubInAcl, see the following Microsoft blog: Notes about a couple of possible issues while using the SubInAcl tool.

Use Google instead of Bing with Windows 10 search

I want to use Google Chrome and Google search instead of Bing when I search in Windows 10. Google Chrome is launched when I click on web, but it's Bing search. (My default search engine on Google and Edge is http://www.google.com ) I haven't found how to configure that. Someone can help me ? Answer There is no way to change the default in Cortana itself but you can redirect it in Chrome. You said that it opens the results in the Chrome browser but it used Bing search right? There's a Chrome extension now that will redirect Bing to Google, DuckDuckGo, or Yahoo , whichever you prefer. More information on that in the second link.

linux - Using an index to make grep faster?

I find myself grepping the same codebase over and over. While it works great, each command takes about 10 seconds, so I am thinking about ways to make it faster. So can grep use some sort of index? I understand an index probably won't help for complicated regexps, but I use mostly very simple patters. Does an indexer exist for this case? EDIT: I know about ctags and the like, but I would like to do full-text search. Answer what about cscope , does this match your shoes? Allows searching code for: all references to a symbol global definitions functions called by a function functions calling a function text string regular expression pattern a file files including a file

How do I transmit a single hexadecimal value serial data in PuTTY using an Alt code?

I am trying to sent a specific hexadecimal value across a serial COM port using PuTTY. Specifically, I want to send the hex codes 9C, B6, FC, and 8B. I have looked up the Alt codes for these and they are 156, 182, 252, and 139 respectively. However, whenever I input the Alt codes, a preceding hex value of C2 is sent before 9C, B6, and 8B so the values that are sent are C2 9C, C2 B6, and C2 8B. The value for FC is changed to C3 FC. Why are these values being placed before the hex value and why is FC being changed altogether? To me, it seems like there is a problem internally converting the Alt code to hex. Is there a way to directly input hex values without using Alt codes in PuTTY? Answer What you're seeing is just ordinary text character set conversion. As far as PuTTY is concerned, you are typing (and reading) text , not raw binary data, therefore it has to convert the text to bytes in whatever configured character set before sending it over the wire. In other words, when y...
