w10 upgrade fail: ACPI bios error
Hi All,
There is nothing I can do about this now as the customer decided to buy a new computer. (It was a good choice.) Anyway, I as trying to upgrade a W7-Pro-sp1,x64 to Windows 10 and got the following: ACPI bios error 0x1900101-0x0017 The installation failed in the SAFE_OS phase with an error during Boot operation Looking up the error code, it seems like it refers to an unrecognized RAID controller. And ACPI is a power controller issue. Hmmmm. The BIOS was set to Legacy and AHCI. And google tells me a lot of folks are also getting this error. I tried removing all the security software and tried again. Same issue. On the bright side, W7 still worked afterwards. Any thoughts on the matter? -T |

I'm sure you found plenty of listings for this error and I've had it myself when upgrading older hardware. Here's what I've done in the past and it's worked: 1. Update the BIOS 2. Update the graphics card from Intel, NVidia, AMD or wherever to insure an easier upgrade to Win10 if it has a separate graphics card. If it's on-board Intel it will be updated during install. The BIOS and graphics updates will most likely solve the problem but if not, then step 3. 3. Open Device Manager and open the tree for every entry and right-click *each and every*entry and select Update Driver and then Search Automatically. Yes - even do the duplicates. You will be surprised at the number of driver updates it will find and install even on a recently Windows Updated system. It's a long process to click on every item but consider the alternative: Go to each vendors site and download and install the drivers. If you go that route, install the chipset drivers first. The Win10 failure errors are all over the place and most error codes really don't even get you close when going from Win7/8 to Win10. Shortcut: If you want to do a quick compatibility test, remove the existing hard drive (disconnect any others), slap a spare SSD (or hdd) in as the C: drive, download and install the Win10 version you want from MS and install it on a USB stick. Do a fresh, clean install and it will install all of it's own (generic) drivers initially then after the system is up and running, it will download vendor specific drivers (from MS servers) as needed. If it doesn't have a specific older driver and runs the generic Win10 driver, you will most likely find that it runs very well. Then if it has a graphics card, you can go to the vendors site and download the full driver set that has additional features. -- Bob S |

Hi Bob, Thank you! Considering the age of the computer and the cost of labor, the customer decided to just get a new one, which I concurred with him over. This is a great list, which I will keep in case anyone else decides to upgrade an older computer. Interesting, I booted him into Fedora 31 off a flash drive to test his SSD drive. He had me replace his mechanical drive years ago. Drive was fine. Fedora worked better off his USB2 port than did Windows 7 off his SSD drive (not all that unusual). But Fedora has all its drivers in the kernel. His motherboard was an ASUS P8B-M https://www.asus.com/us/Commercial-S...pecifications/ which is an Intel C204 Chipset. So it may have just been a little too weird for W10's upgrade. There is no explaining ASUS designs at times. Sometimes they are stellar and sometimes they are crap. They are on PCI (Payment Card Industry) too, so all their updates are installed weekly. And the machine was just old. It was time. Thank you again for the wonderful tips! -T |

I was thinking that maybe he left the system with you. NewEgg is showing a Win2019 package with it so it certainly should run Win10. If you don't want it, I'll pay the shipping...

The BIOS not only has tables, but there is code of a sort in there. I've not been able to make any sense of that code - it's more obtuse than LISP. At least LISP makes a bit of sense. Paul |

I just get a bit obsessive when I get a mystery pulled on me. My take so far is that the ACPI error is one of the legendary M$ Errors where Dog actually means Cat. Looking up the error code, a lot of folks found it to be a RAID error and the motherboard does have RSTe RAID on it, but it is turned off. -T |

Arrgh! The ultimate POS software, their client-server is just garbage. Have a client that drunk that Kool-Aid and host of constant issues...Been trying to get her to migrate to an online service that would be OS agnostic and save both $$ and aggravation. Other than servers, I have found virtually no small business that can run Linux.Â* And that sucks. Converted my public library and and saved $Ks a year... Fedora 31 runs better off a USB flash drive on that motherboard than does Windows 7 natively. And networking works without the Windows BS... Oh ya. Technologocally speaking Linux is superior and not by a little, but by a lot. That conversion project you speak of must have been a blast! Oh and Quickbooks, what a piece of crap, especially their server! But EVERYONE gots to have it. There really is no alternative until Gnu Cash starts doing payroll and inventory. I personally use Gnu Cash and love it. But I have to say, my brain almost melted trying the get past the initial learning curve. |
