I had XP Pro running on my computer and I had a problem
logging on. It was suggested that I run setup again to
reinstall XP Pro. Setup fails to reinstall XP Pro. The
error is "failed to install product catalogs". I have
tried renaming the catroot2 folder but I still keep
getting this error. I have installed a new RAM chip
(256mb) but this has not worked either. I ran chkdsk and
I get the following "File record segment parameter is
unreadable". Any suggestions on how to fix this?
 
Thanks for the help, but it did not work. I tried the in-
place upgrade and at 39 minutes left in the installation,
it gives me the same product catalog installation failure.
