I am trying to re-install XP Pro on my Dell laptop. The original installation (upgraded from XP Home) had some problems, so I am using a copy obtained under the Academic Alliance to try to repair the installation.
The installation proceded normally up to the point of installing devices where it crashed about 60% complete, re-booting the system. The setup procedure keeps re-starting at the beginning of this step and crashing at the same point every time.
Can anyone suggest a way round this? I have too much data on the system to have backed up everything, so I can't afford to reformat the system and start again!
