Windows initial boot error message...

aramp1 · 03-17-2005, 02:17 AM

I'm getting the following error message while trying to initally download/start Windows XP Pro with SP/2. I have run the hard drive set up disk for my hard drive. Since everything is new, I find it hard to believe that the hard drive is corrupted. Windows starts installing and stops and gives me the message below.

This is an error with the SP2 patch I believe. There is an update at windows update to stop this.

Well, is it a virus, did you check? It very well could be a virus!

It could be a virus or a spyware thing for that matter. I just remember some error that looks like that, that comes up in XP SP2.

Edit -
I found this info http://support.microsoft.com/default...;en-us;Q314063

I don't think it's a virus. It's all brand new. New hdd, etc. I just put it all together and fired it up for the first time. I get this message when trying to install xp.
