While attempting to install XP Pro - upgrade or clean
install; I get the following error message: "Fatal Error
Setup cannot continue.Contact Microsoft Technical Support
(Error: 5F9FF58h)
Anybody know what this error is? I get the same error
when trying to run the upgrade advisor. I am currently
running 98 SE on a Dell XPS-T 700r. Thanks!
