Ultimate upgrade

[DMD31842]

I am upgrading my desktop (XP) to Vista Ultimate. The updrade went
well until the end when it restarted I get a black screen saying
something like it failed to start because of a change and gives me the
choice of normal start up, start in safe mode, start with networking,
etc. I tried normal start, I tried taking the installation CD out and
putting it back, etc., etc and could not get the computer to start! I
am now rolling back the computer to XP.
How do I resolve this if I try and reinstall Vista Ultimate? Thanks,
David

before you upgrade make sure all your hardware is compatible. use the
windows catalogue a lot of the drivers are different for xp so you may have
to install them manually first or later

I did that and it says hardware is compatible

Did you run the Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor? Do that to possibly find out
if there is a hardware or software is compatible.

Hi DMD31842,

If you refer to the instructions in my post 'Clean Install Windows Vista
Using Upgrade Media' in the newsgroup 'Windows Vista Installation and Setup'
(dated 9/21/2007), you should be able to solve your problem.
