Hello,

I have a MicroATX system where I changed the CPU, RAM, and
motherboard. I planned to upgrade inplace the 3 OS partitions: Win2ksp4,
WinXPsp1, and SuSE 9.1.

Starting with the Win2ksp3 (its on Disk0, C:), I loaded the Win2ksp3 disk
and did the
upgrade (inplace). Everything went smooth.

Next I loaded the WinXPsp1 disk. It finds the old installation (Disk0, D:),
and
gets past the first reboot. As its down to the last 8/45 minutes, it seems
to crash
because it spontaneously reboots without warning. The Grub loader menu and
the
Windows Dual menu are still there. Could these interfere at all?

I have no idea what could be wrong. It looks like anything else I try will
involve starting the whole WinXP upgrade over again.

tia,
tlviewer
