I am attempting to update an XP Pro installation in-place. About 30 minutes
in, I receive a message unable to locate MSDART.dll. I select OK, but the
pop-up won't go away and I am stuck and have to boot to continue.

I tried rebooting from both hard disk and CD and end up stuck in the same
place. I also tried floppy, but since the hard disk is NTFS, the floppy boot
can't see it.

Any suggestions besides reformat? Help!

Thanks
 
When the problem occurs, press Shift + F10 to bring up the
command prompt. Then type: taskmgr.exe in the DOS window
and press Enter. The Task Manager should be started. If
not, try to press C+Shift+ESC. In the Task Manager
program, select the error messsage window in the
application list and click "End Task". In the process
list, terminate the unregmp2.exe program. Exit the DOS
prompt window and resume the installation process.
