Setup has two stages: text mode and graphics mode. The system hive is copied
to a .sav file after the text-mode stage of setup to protect it from errors
that might occur if the graphics-mode stage of setup fails. If setup fails
during the graphics-mode stage, only the graphics-mode stage is repeated
when the computer is restarted; the .sav file is used to restore the hive
data.
Not sure where this leaves you. You may be in an endless loop.
