Need files

I am re-posting with all the info.
Hi Peter,
Correct.
I had started a repair install to fix issues I was having with Windows.
Windows was running but Iexplorer could not access the internet.
The original repair install failed. So I tried again but the Install cannot
see the original Windows install. So I tried the repair console(recovery
console?)which does see the Windows directory, but does not ask for the
password.
Since then I have done a complete parallel install. The files look ok on the
original Windows, but obviously something is wrong. If I try to let the
original repair install run it crashes, putting up a blue screen the
disappears before I can read it. Windows was updated to SP2 and several
other updates were done. This in on a Toshiba laptop, with XP pro. I used my
CD from my laptop as the Toshiba did not have a Windows XP CD.
My CD has SP 2 already on it. There could be a driver conflict but I cannot
get into the Original system to uninstall the drivers. The parallel install
went as expected and runs well.
Thanks
Loretta

I have managed to duplicate the original error.
Setup failed to install the product catalogs. This is a fatal error. The
setup log files should contain more information. Press OK to view the setup
log.

"The signature for Windows XP Professional UPgrade is invalid. The error
code is fffffdda/
The system cannot find message text for message number )xfffffdda in the
message file for syssetup.dll"
