I have 11 machines that need to be upgraded to XP Pro from 98SE. All are
Celeron 600 or better with minimum 128 RAM - many have 256. All have adequate
drive space and pass the advisor.
However, I'm running into a dead end on the install, when it says 42 minutes
left while "installing devices".
No error codes, no BSOD, no black screen - the little green dots just stop
moving and "that's all she wrote".
The machine in question has no CD, and is connected to corporate network.
The install CD is copied in its entirety to a folder on the local hard drive.
This is a MOLP upgrade licence.

What am I doing wrong?????
