Guest barrowhill Posted September 10, 2007 Posted September 10, 2007 Doing repair install of XP Home but hang during device install with 35min to go. checked logs and only one that appears to indicate anything is setuplog.txt. Last entry indicates that it entering but not leaving install of enumerated devices (?) I've gone into BIOS and disabled all hardware (audio, LAN, USB etc) and removed PCI devices but still get to same point in time and hangs. ANy ideas what I can do
Guest db ´¯`·.. > Posted September 10, 2007 Posted September 10, 2007 Re: Hangs during Setup well, it may sound like a hardware failure. because you attempted a repair installation, then it sounds you were having some trouble prior. if you can maybe provide some clue as to what prompted the repair installation, it would help see the bigger picture. btw: in addition to disconnecting the pci's, modem, etc, did you also disconnect all the peripherials except for mouse, kb and monitor? -- db ·´¯`·.¸. , . .·´¯`·..><)))º>`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸.·´¯`·...¸><)))º>¸. ><)))º>·´¯`·.¸. , . .·´¯`·.. ><)))º>`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸.·´¯`·...¸><)))º> ..

Guest Girish Ramnath Posted September 10, 2007 Posted September 10, 2007 RE: Hangs during Setup re-initiate the repair install. when u have the screen "setup will complete in 39 minutes" press Shift + F10, u will get command prompt, type in devmgmt.msc. u will get device manager screen. do a hardware clean boot. that is disable the network adapter, sound, usb, modem, devices, then continue the repair installation.

Guest barrowhill Posted September 15, 2007 Posted September 15, 2007 Re: Hangs during Setup I had Registry error Stop 0x51 but couldn't repair via CD - kept getting BSOD when attempting use of recovery console or press F* for repair/clean install. Perdormed manual registry repair which worked in that got windows back (but.....) so decided to perform reait install at that point. In the end decided that since PC remained untouched for years and not doubt full of ****, saved all required documents to another HDD and disc wiped clean. Cleaned out PC, reseated all cards, re-installed XP, updated, loaded required programs etc an up and running again. Took a bit of time but all OK now.
