Translations:
Das Volume ist nicht aktiviert = The volume is not activated/mounted
Die aktuelle Gerätekonfiguration und das Ziel sind für die Installation im aktuellen Status ungültig. Versuche es erneut = The current device configuration and the target are invalid for the installation in the current state. try again

Any ideas or more info required?
Thank you
