  1. Thank you! The first fix solved the problem! I was trying everything and was afraid I would never get it to work. I appreciate the help.

  2. Excellent and easy to follow and certainly the best set of fixes I have encountered on the internet. Sadly for me nothing worked although method 2 looked positive and even re-booted twice on the install and then gave me the message “0x8007001F-0x20006, The installation failed in the SAFE_OS phase with an error during REPLICATE_OC operation.” Nothing else worked unfortunately.

    So I am still stuck after weeks of trying different solutions so if you have any further suggestions I would appreciate it. Once again many thanks.
