I am triing to upgrade to XP Home. The compatibility
test lists 0 hardware and 0 software issues.
The upgrade completes the copy files phase but at the
first reboot, the system hangs.
The reboot goes throught the loading system files (black
screen with status bar at bottom) then changes to a blue
screen with "Setup" at the top. That is as far as it
gets.
Multiple full shut-down / restarts produce the same
result.
Any help appreciated!
Thanks
 
In the past, I've noticed long pauses at this screen.
These pauses have last up to ten minutes for me (seems to
be hanging, but not). Does your screen appear for longer
than 20 minutes? Sorry, not much help, only answer I can
think of.
