Yes, the same minus the blue screen - my screen is still black when it
reboots.
I read your post Re: Setup <
[email protected]> and yes, I too
get the "Setup encountered an error while trying to set system security.
An extended error has occurred."
error in setuperrlog.txt.
However, I've stopped getting these errors. I think the last time I got
it
was after my first boot after the GUI yesterday, when it blue-screened
when making the device driver table. I don't remember the blue-screen
error message, but it was a STOP. I'd LOVE to see this message again.
Some other details:
1) I'm using a CD w/ XP Pro SP1 slipstreamed, OEM version.
2) It's the same CD I installed w/ originally.
3) I did make one change - I deleted \pagefile.sys and \hiberfil.sys
from the root of the drive after the problems started, that could have
exasperated things.
I do NOT have a Gateway.
Is your scenario still like mine?
Below is a slightly-edited version of what I sent to my PC
maker's tech support people:

Additional information:
\windows\system32\config\system.evt had a message that said the
manifest file
\windows\winsxs\manifests\x86_Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls_6595b64144ccf1df_6.0.0.0_x-ww_1382d70a.Manifest
was corrupt. Sure enough, it was a 2K file of all binary-0's.
After backing it up, I deleted it.
I am now back to where I was the first time I tried the "recovery
install" a couple days ago, namely: a BAD_POOL_ERROR.
Here's what happened after I deleted the corrupt commmon-controls
manifest file:
I inserted the Windows XP SP1 CD and rebooted. I did NOT "hit any key
to boot to the CD." The hard disk booted and I booted the Windows XP
Pro partition. It entered phase 2 of the install, as I expected it to.
It did NOT reboot (hooray!).
It said there were 39 or so minutes remaining in the installation.
The progress bar progressed, and it said it was doing something with
drivers or something like that.
When the progress bar was at or near completion, I got the dreaded
blue screen of death, same as a few days ago.
Here's the relevant info from the blue screen of death:
BAD_POOL_CALLER
STOP: 0X000000C2 (0X00000007 0X00000CD4 0X020C0008 0X851F4ABD)
After rebooting to the XP Home partition, I did some post-analysis.
Unfortunately, I do not have a memory dump (I tried adding one to
the XP Pro's "system" registry hive, but there is no
"currentcontrolset" entry in that hive, and the ControlSet001
entry is already configured for a memory dump).
The common-controls manifest that was previously deleted was
recreated and appears to be OK. It is an XML file.
HOWEVER, \windows\system32\config\system.evt now has a
different error message in it. Here is the file cut-and-pasted
from Notepad. Please forgive the spaces, ?'s, and other garbage
characters, I think the original file was in Unicode. My
Newsreader will corrupt some of the system.evt file, but
the text part is the only important part. If you need
the full file, email me.

Does anyone know how I can force a memory dump, and does anyone
know what SideBySide is? I'll be researching both after
posting this note.
