Serious Install Issue



I had Win2k Pro and decided to replace it with XP Pro.

During the install one of the reboots went awry.

It reboots, the XP splash screen starts to fade in, a blue screen flashes
and it reboots forever.

I simply could not get by this, booting from the install cd would not start
over.

I was able to change the error action from reboot to stop and the blue
screen displays the following message.

Page Fault in Non Paged Area
STOP 0x00000050 (0xffffffE8, 0x00000001, ox804efb19, 0x00000000)

I had an XP Pro upgrade CD also, so I was able to use that CD to get an
install working, however all my Win2K stuff is in the bad install.

Both installs are called Windows XP Professional during the boot selection.
The second works, the first stays in the reboot loop.

Any information would be helpful.

TIA
