From: Beringer on 2 Nov 2009 22:40 I've been trying to reinstall XP on my system after a system crash that left my system unusable. I have the same hardware, have changed nothing outside of formating my HD. I need to install over my full SE version since my XP installation is an Upgrade version. I am able to start the installation but every time I get to "34 minutes" remaining the install hangs. I can never get past this point. When I upgraded from SE years ago I had no such issues. Thank you in advance, Eric

Assuming you originally upgraded Win98SE to WinXP, have you managed to reinstall Win98SE already and did you format your HDD beforehand? Setup stops responding with 34 minutes remaining: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/828267 -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-IE, Mail, Security, Windows Client - since 2002 www.banthecheck.com Beringer wrote: > I've been trying to reinstall XP on my system after a system crash that > left > my system unusable. > I have the same hardware, have changed nothing outside of formating my HD. > I need to install over my full SE version since my XP installation is an > Upgrade version. > I am able to start the installation but every time I get to "34 minutes" > remaining the install hangs.

Just insert the W98 CD when asked for update confirmation...

What is installing when you have the error maybe you can disable the device that is trying to be installed at 34minutes and re-enable it later. Setting the bios to setup defaults is usaully a safe bet as well. Make sure you aren't overclocking or doing something else which could affect the stability of the computer system. What caused the crash do you know?
