Re: sp1 hangs on install

I have successfully installed W2k3 sp1 on several dc's. However, on one dc the installation process always hangs when trying to backup the registry. I have tried installing locally, from a network file server, from update.microsoft.com, and I've tried warm and cold boots. Hangs at the same place every time. Any ideas?

Thanks
i'^ve had similar problems on workstations and POS machines due to faulty RAM and/or harddisks - try doing the same task on a virual machine on your workstation -if it works it's quite likely some kind of memory error from the hardware on that machine.
