Thank you for your response.
1. The system is a Quantex Model #TS30T
2. It has 640 KB System Memory with 261120 KB Extended
Memory, Pentium III 500 MZ Processor, 12 GB hard drive.
3. It came with Windows 98 SE and this is the first upgrade
I have attempted. I attempted to run Upgrade Advisor but
apparently made the wrong selection because it automatically
installed some files without telling me what they were.
4. I purchased the CD in a Retail store and installed it on
another computer. I plan to purchase an additional license
as soon as I get it installed (if ever).
5. Those were the last 15 lines of the setupapi.log
6. The failure of the setupact.log began with:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\usbhub.sys was not deleted because of
the following error: The system cannot find the file
specified.
C:\WINDOWS\system32\openhci.sys was not deleted because of
the following error:
The system cannot find the file specified.
C:\WINDOWS\system32\usbohci.sys was not deleted because of
the following error:

. . . contuing through many of these files and concluding
with
C:\WINDOWS\system32\usbhub20.sys was not deleted because of
the following error:

I do not press "Hit any key to boot from the CD". I let the
installation pick up from where it stopped, hoping it will
correct itself, but it has started many, many times and it
stops at the same point each time.
FYI - I once had a USB hub attached to this PC, but took it
off prior to beginning this installation.
I know this is a lot to ask of you, but I am getting ready
to go on vacation and I had hoped to take this with me. Can
I reformat the hard drive and return to Windows 98? I may
decide to purchase a new notebook computer while I'm gone.

The pnplog.txt is not always created. That may be a good
thing.
Now for the bad news. I don't think those lines from
your setupapi.log are related to your problem. I say that
because I have the same lines near the beginning of the
setupapi.log on my XP Professional system and that
installation went fine. I think you're going to have to
look elsewhere for the source of your problem.
Let's start with some basic info:
1. What kind of system do you have? Brand name and model #?
2. If it's not a brand name PC, what are the hardware specs?
RAM, CPU, Hard drive, Motherboard, etc.?
3. Has XP ever been installed on this computer? Was there an
earlier version of Windows installed on this PC? If there
was an earlier version installed, did you run the Windows
Upgrade Advisor to identify any hardware or software issues
that needed to be addressed?
4. What type of XP installation CD do you have, Retail (you
bought it in a store) or OEM (it came with your computer).
If it's a retail CD, you can contact Microsoft for
unlimited free phone support with installation issues. Take
a look here for more info:
http://www.support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?ln=en-us&x=14&y=8&c1=509&prid=3518&gprid=185522
With regard to the files you copied:
1. Were those the last lines in your setupapi.log file? If
not copy and paste the last 15 lines from setupapi.log into
your response.
2. Are there any entries in setuperr.log? How about
setupact.log?
As for the procedure you're using to install XP, I'm
guessing that your booting from the CD to begin the
installation. When the installation hangs and you have to
restart your computer, are you starting the process from
the beginning (hitting any key to boot from the CD)? If so,
don't hit a key so that the installation picks up from
where it hung. Windows is supposed to skip over any problem
hardware that it finds from the previous installation
attempt. Putting it another way, if you follow the "Press
any key to boot from the CD" instructions, setup will start
all over again copying files and you'll never give Windows
a chance to skip problem devices.
Get back to me with answers to these questions.

Thank you for your response. When I attempted to copy
pnplog.txt, the response was "File not Found". In
setupapi.log, it appears that the timeout occured at the
following step: [2005/07/16 01:16:40 260.1]
#-199 Executing "C:\WINDOWS\system32\setup.exe" with

I tried three times and the result is the same each time.
I would appreciate any advice you may be able to give me.
Thank you.

I am attempting to perform a "Clean Installation" of
Windows XP Home Edition. It continues to stop with 34
minutes remaining. I have read Article 828267 and
removed external hardware, and disabled the serial and
parallel port, and it still hangs up. Being a novice, I
do not understand how to view the files mentioned in the
Article, i.e. Setuperr.log. I can press SHIFT+F10 and
get to a a command prompt, but my old DOS command (edit)
doesn't work. Can you please help me? Thank you.
I think you can use the TYPE comand but a better approach,
if your system has a floppy drive, would be to use the
COPY command. For example, from the prompt enter the
following:
cd Windows
copy setuperr.log A:\
copy pnplog.txt A:\
copy setupapi.log A:\
copy setupact.log A:\
You can now use another computer to open these files in
Notepad.
Good luck
