Guest Loretta Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 I am re-posting with all the info. Hi Peter, Correct. I had started a repair install to fix issues I was having with Windows. Windows was running but Iexplorer could not access the internet. The original repair install failed. So I tried again but the Install cannot see the original Windows install. So I tried the repair console(recovery console?)which does see the Windows directory, but does not ask for the password. Since then I have done a complete parallel install. The files look ok on the original Windows, but obviously something is wrong. If I try to let the original repair install run it crashes, putting up a blue screen the disappears before I can read it. Windows was updated to SP2 and several other updates were done. This in on a Toshiba laptop, with XP pro. I used my CD from my laptop as the Toshiba did not have a Windows XP CD. My CD has SP 2 already on it. There could be a driver conflict but I cannot get into the Original system to uninstall the drivers. The parallel install went as expected and runs well.

Guest Loretta Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 Re: Need files I have managed to duplicate the original error. Setup failed to install the product catalogs. This is a fatal error. The setup log files should contain more information. Press OK to view the setup log. "The signature for Windows XP Professional UPgrade is invalid. The error code is fffffdda/ The system cannot find message text for message number )xfffffdda in the message file for syssetup.dll" "Loretta" <lorettaa@anderson-computer.com> wrote in message news:uEh5Uc4%23HHA.3940@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... >I am re-posting with all the info. > Hi Peter, > Correct. > I had started a repair install to fix issues I was having with Windows. > Windows was running but Iexplorer could not access the internet. > The original repair install failed.
