I have tried multiple times to upgrade my Compaq Presario
1920 from Windows 98 (NOT SE)to XP Home, and am still
unsuccessful:
- the internal CD/DVD drive spins more slowly and
eratically, although any other CD is read with no problem
- It does get to the "What do you want to do?" screen,
which I answer "install", after which it hangs up, giving
the following message:
- The file E:I386 (0r is that 1386???)\WINNT32A.DLL could
not be loaded or is corrupt. Setup cannot continue
- I did clean the XP CD and tried other CDs to confirm
the drive was not acting up
- I did disconnect every external device, to no avail
- NOTE: the original hard drive crashed about a month
ago, so a new HD was installed, with the Win98 system
Thanks
