During a random installation of Windows 7 in a Dell XPS unit. We notice windows kept crashing after rebooting and attempting to complete the installation.
After several attempts we found that we needed to change the hd mode to sata instead of raid.

the windows error was
“Windows is unable to complete due to a hardware error”
Nice right , thats for the info Microsoft.

Found this information on a forum as such and verbatim . It might be helpful to someone else that encounters the issue

Do you have windows installed on your SSD in RAID mode before adding these disks as RAID?
If not you need to, so you will need to go into windows and make the following registry changes first, before setting the BIOS to RAID
mode, if you installed windows in AHCI or IDE mode.
Enable switching between all IDE/AHCI/RAID modes by changing “Start” Values in these keys to 0
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Msahci\Start
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Pciide\Start
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\iaStorV\Start

A many thanks. Your wisdow is seemingly endless. It was the last entry that was not at zero it was set to 3. I did load windows first
after changing the SATA’s to AHCI mode during the first post. After making sure things looked OK a then tried adding the samsungs in
RAID 0. Thanks again for your help.”

so you setup a customer 404 page , but Google is showing the page returns a 200 ok instead of 404 not found.

For Coldfusion pages you will need to add the following to your 404 page

<cfheader statusCode="404" statusText="Not Found">

For ASP

<% Response.Status = "404 Not Found" %>

For HTML and ASP.net , Catch me on twitter and send me your ideas for those.

If you are attempting to install Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable SP1  and the install just disappears . You may have a hard time finding as solution online because the solution seems to be very simple.

This occurred on windows vista and windows 7 .  The install closes after gathering information. This is due because the package may already be installed on the system. check under programs and features in the control panel. I would recommend uninstalling any versions of it . then reinstall it

If you are having trouble getting the vista driver installed using the dell website. The driver for the dell inspirion model 1525 can be found here 

The driver is in the R174292 set . (Dell wireless 1395 )

Sidenote* maybe we will attempt to ask dell to fix their website
