I have Quickbooks Pro 2007 installed on two computers and am trying to install it on a third but the third computer can't seem to read the disk. I get a message that the disk needs to be formatted.

There are 3 possible reasons why you are getting this error message:

1. An invalid character in QuickBooks installation path.
2. An incorrect path setting in the Windows registry.
3.Insufficient hard drive space available to install the QuickBooks program.

To fix this problem, please do the following:

1. Restart your computer, and reinstall QuickBooks.
2. Confirm that at least 2.5 GB of disk space is available for installing QuickBooks (Quickbooks 2010 requires 1.5GB of disk space):
   1. Double-click the Computer (for Windows 7 or Vista) or My Computer (for Windows XP) icon on your Windows desktop.
   2. Note the amount of free space shown in the window next to the drive letter where QuickBooks is being installed:
      • If the amount of free space is less than 1 GB, free up disk space before installing QuickBooks or install QuickBooks on a different drive.
      • If the amount of free space is greater than 1 GB, proceed with step 2.
3. Remove invalid characters from the QuickBooks installation path:
   1. Right-click the Windows Start button and select Explore.
   2. Navigate to the path shown in the error:
   3. • If there are non-alphanumeric characters in the name of any folder in the installation path, right-click the folder and select Rename to remove them, and then reinstall QuickBooks.
      • If there are only alphanumeric characters in the installation path, proceed with step 3.
4. Create a new user in Windows to rewrite any Windows registry settings that may be causing the error and log in as that user to install QuickBooks.

Note: You must be logged in as a Windows administrator or as a member of the Administrator group to add a new user.

I would suggest a re-install first.

However it is an older version of the program so you may want to get a newer one.

That would allow you to IMPORT your older data and keep up with the relevant tax informayion

This is often caused by a broken Microsoft Installler reference, or registry issues.

First, try searching the QuickBooks folder for a file called Reboot.bat. Once you locate it, run it.
Try to uninstall.
If that fails, Microsoft has an Installer Clean Up Tool you can download and run,
If all else fails, you may wish to contact an Intuit Pro Advisor in your area to see if they still have a copy of the 2005 disk to reinstall and uninstall with.
