XP Pro Upgrade

[Guest George]

I just installed Windows XP Pro upgade on a Dell Inspiron B130. With about 19

minutes left in the installation, the following errors came up:

bluhill.jp_

sunset.jp_

waterlil.jp_

winter.jp_

beethov9.wm_

newstrys.wm_

When these came up, I had the option to retry or cancel. If I retried, the

problem would come back up again, so I elected to cancel. Now Internet

Explorer isn't working properly. If I try to go home, another screen will try

to open up and then locks up the computer. If I try to open a favorite,

another screen will try to open and then locks up the computer. The only way

I can close those screens is through the Task Master.

It appear that I took a computer that was working perfectly before and

ruined part of it's functions.

I have done this to other computers, but never had this problem.

Help please.

The upgrade didn't work properly and you will need to run it again, perhaps

as a repair install.

 

Was this a new install or an upgrade, and if so over what?

 

If you encounter the same errors, you may need to clean the disk or CD

drive, or replace one or the other. Also, this kind of error can be caused

by hardware failure, such as memory.

This computer had Windows XP and I Was trying to upgrade to XP Pro. It was

installed as an upgrade. I have tried to reinstall several times and even

removed my ant-virus. Nothing has helped.

If you're getting the same kinds of messages, software likely won't -

can't - help if it's a problem with the hardware. Try another drive or

disc.

 

If you happen to have a spare, bare hard disk on hand, you can help isolate

the problem by removing the existing hard disk, installing the new one and

doing a clean install. Upgrade CDs will ask for a qualifying CD - you need

to find or borrow an ME CD or similar. If the install fails the same way,

the problem is definitely hardware.

You mean from XP Home to XP Professional? That's fine. You can do

that, although for most home users there's no advantage to doing so.

 

The error you are describing is the inability of the drive to read the

CD. It's almost certainly caused by either a bad CD or a

malfunctioning CD drive.
