Re: stopping XP reinstall

Manually edit the boot.ini file and remove the reference to:

c:\$win_nt$.~bt\bootsect.dat

XP Setup goes to BSOD immediately following splash screen. Same error, 0x7E.

I went back and removed all drivers created after 8/10/2004, and Setup resumed, but with the ASMS error again. This time, going into the registry did no good, as there were no UPPERFILTERS or LOWERFILTERS keys. As before, I pointed Setup to C:\WMC2005\I386, and it was happy (as long as I kept feeding it the C:\WMC2005\I386 for each file it wanted, about 20 of em), until it started up with Installing Devices. This time, it got to 34 minutes before BSOD.

Yes, I tried using BOOTCFG.EXE in Recovery Mode to correct BOOT.INI (some hours ago) -- but I got no different results. [Yes, I know about the MVP program. ]

I am going to try removing all the hardware from the machine, then going through Setup.

The "alphabet soup" was left off my original note, as I entered the
newsgroup via the Google backdoor. When I reentered via the
Microsoft Community links, it asked me to log in, and thus added my
regular "name". I decided long ago to put my credentials next to
my name, rather than have a signature (like yours).
I earned my alphabets, as I'm sure you earned yours (MS-MVP).

The MS-MVP is an award earned by myself (and others) due to participation in these newsgroups (Microsoft)... Due to that fact, I chose to post that in my signature.

Of the tests/initials/etc I have taken/earned - I list none of them here - as to be honest - I have found many of them to be non-representative of what someone may/may not know. ;-)

Tried this?

Recovery Console --> bootcfg /list --> bootcfg /rebuild --> Add the Windows install it finds (if it does) --> the load identifier is likely "Microsoft Windows XP Professional" or "Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" --> the Load options will be /fastdetect ...
