Had troubles off the bat when the upgrade wouldn't continue - message said
the files on the computer were newer than the CD. Discovered it was because
I had SP2 on it. Unistalled SP2 and was able to start the upgrade. Problem
came during the first reboot when I got the BSOD and this STOP error:

Stop 0x00000024 or NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM

I've rebooted many times, run CHKDSK /F /R, used the restoration disk for
Home Edition - always the same result. Seems I may ahve a problems with the
NTFS.sys system file.

Is there anything short of a complete disk wipe and reinstallation that I
can do to fix this?
