I just bought a HP Pavilion a1350y desktop with XP Home. I have XP Pro
and am trying to upgrade it, but towards the end of setup. I get the
blue screen that indicates "Setup cannot set the required Windows XP
configuration Information". The MS Support site indicates a hardware
or BIOS problem. But the compatibility tests indicate everything is ok
and the desktop has all the original hardware and has been approved by
microsoft. Also there is no updated BIOS according the the HP website.
The install also fails booting right off of the disk installing new
(not upgrade). MS is sending me a new XP Pro disk, but I'm not sure
that's it. The bigger pain is once it failed, the system is hosed and
I need to do a complete recovery to reinstall XP Home to use the
computer at all. Any ideas would be appreciated.
