Final follow-up.

Will turn system over to NP org like it is.
Wanted to thank everyone that gave suggestions.
It was/is a learning experience.

No it does not mean it found nothing wrong. It just means that
the upgrade advisor has not even ran. The upgrade advisor will
give one a complete list of what will not work and what needs
upgrading.

Did as suggested.
The screen that came up was the "Windows Upgrade Advisory" window.
Nothing about compatibility but wanted to d/l some files that may have
been
upgraded since purchase of disk UNLESS that means it found nothing wrong.

Now that you have windows 98SE. Insert the XP disk.
After it autoplays, choose the last entry:
This should answer your questions.Check System Compatibility.

If anyone is still here this is what I did over the week-end,
1. Reformatted HD and tried to load Winxp by way of 3x QuickRestore
disk.
No go.
2. Reformatted and tried to load Winxp off my OEM disk using Compaq key
#'s.
Took the key but again no go.
(both times system freezes ~ 1/2 through install)
3. Reformatted and loaded Win 98se and everything worked fine. ?????
4. Once 98se was up and running tried to upgrade to Winxp using my Winxp
upgrade disk and, guess what, no go!!!!
I imaging the response will be to load Win98se and be done with it but
wondering what is going on. :)
Any ideas? Had a friend tell me to replace my cd-rom and try it as he
noticed it making louder than normal (whatever that is) noices on
startup.
The thing is 98se loaded fine.
Happy New Years to everyone,
L.S.

Have you formatted and installed Windows (or used the QuickRestore
disks)?
If so...
Start > Run > (type in) winver > OK
What do the results say?

Ok here we go again.
Tried your instruction and still no go.
Keep getting error msgs. 1/2 through sp2 setup.
Either "update.exe-application error" and/or "Windows Service Pack
Setup
failed"
Wondering if since the only disks I have are the 3x QuickRestore disks
that
may be the problem. I do not know how this system was setup
originally.
I
even pulled the wireless card out of the machine as suggested.
Another suggestion was to try my Winxp OEM disk but use the key I have
for
the Compaq?

Yes, save the download to your desktop, then disable your anti-virus
applications and any other real-time protections before installing
SP2.

Should I 'save' sp2 to HD and then run? Noticed this is not the
'normal'
sp2. large file!!

1. Format & reinstall Windows and make certain the Windows Firewall
is
enabled.
2. Immediately install SP2:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=049c9dbe-3b8e-4f30-8245-9e368d3cdb5a
3. Install all post-SP2 critical updates via Windows Update (select
CUSTOM
install; do NOT install IE7, but hide it instead).
4. Make certain Automatic Updates is enabled.
5. Install a reliable anti-virus application and manually update
it.
Your anti-virus application should be configured to seek and
install
updates automatically, daily, at a time when the machine is usually
running and connected to the internet. It should also be
configured
to
run a full system scan a few minutes after seeking/installing
updates,
also daily. Anything less is simply insufficient these days.
Do NOT to anything else online until you've completed Steps 1
through
5
above!

Giving system to non-profit org.
Reformatted HD and reinstalled winXP(original).
Have had all kinds of problem reinstalling on this older Compaq
8000z.
(update.exe-application errors, Windows Service Pack Setup
problems,
etc.
etc.) using Compaq 3-disk recovery set. :(
Finally got winxp installed.
D/l and installed all critical updates, etc. + SP1.
The only update not installing, even though system says it has is
KB898458.
Keeps popping up on update.
Set auto update to d/l but allow me to install.
Now 1/2 way through install of SP2 keep getting error that "the
data
is
invalid".
When I go back to auto d/l it states that SP2 is downloaded and
ready
to
install.
I was getting several driver error msg so I've
unplugged/disconnected
everything except one cd-rom and my wireless lan card.
any suggestions?
