Re: XP Home to XP Pro Upgrade

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Windows might also be trying to copy the file because it is trying to
migrate some stuff from the old install to the new one. If you are doing an
upgrade then this very well could be the case.

I would search you hard drive as it is now for the file and see where it is
located.

What kind of computer is it? (Manufacturer, Make, Model)

some weird named thing, aohkgaqr.sys.

Never encountered this file before. A 'dir aoh*.* /s' of a known-good SP2
CD
reveals no such file, though it could be inside a .CAB archive I guess. I
don't think .CABs are used at the preboot stage of the setup, though, just
the files in the i386 folder.

Weird.

Are you sure this is a genuine Microsoft CD, and not a modified OEM one?
I've had this kind of trouble with one or two OEM CDs, where they have
evidently made a mistake when adding OEM mods to the setup.

Have you tried the skip option? I found that in the above case I could do
so
without ill effect.
