23355	2001-11-01 22:04:00	Hi 1 AM Running: AMD Athlon 800MHz with 512 MB SDRAM and WIN98SE 2 Tried to install over the top and went fine until W2000 went to the Startup process when it crashed and gave a Blue Screen and ??Stop error 0x0000007B?? ?V ??INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE??. 3 Tried all the options suggested in the manual and note: ?h Norton AV has been running as standard procedure on auto protect and up to date signature each 2 weeks ?h No newly installed hardware other than a CDRW drive ?V but all was well with 98SE so why not with W2000 ?h No SCSI adapter or drive ?h Ran scandisk/ Chkdsk/F as suggested with no problems 4 Tried reinstallation with same effect 5 Reinstalled as ??clean install?? but no change 6 Created setup Floppies and tried to install ?V same problem but got further to splash screen and startup 7 Tried booting in safe mode ?V the PC CDRW drive started spinning ok but then hung. After leaving for a very considerable time I got the following error messages: ?h Error ?V Setup had problems in registering the following OLE control DLL ?V Contact your system Administrator etc. ?h Error ?V The signature for Windows 2000 Professional Setup is invalid. The error code is 800b001 ?V Unknown Trust provider. ?h Fatal error ?V Setup failed to install the product catalogues. This is a fatal error. The setup logs should contain more information. 8 NOTE ?V I had made a backup copy of the Installation CD and was installing from that. While that MAY have caused the problems the 1st error seems to recur irrespective of which CD I use. I have tried installing with both CD??s and in each case get the message - ??INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE??. 9 I have tried altering startup BIOS settings, enabled the bootup virus protection in BIOS but to no effect. 10 I have run the repair option but with no change to the problem. Where to from here?? I do want to use Win2000 but it appears that the fates are against me. Why can I install Win98SE ok ?V as I have had to do but NOT Win2000?? HELP	Guest (0)

At least you will have a fallback position if Win2000 won't install this way.	Guest (0)

23358	2001-11-02 00:47:00	I presume you turned off Norton AV during install.	Guest (0)
23359	2001-11-02 00:51:00	Thanks for the comments Have checked that point. I changed from 1 - FDD 2 - IDE0 3 - CDR to: 1 - FDD 2 - CDR 3 - IDE0 and back again! No luck there Thanks anyway	Guest (0)
23360	2001-11-02 00:56:00	Thanks Russell HDD is 6.2GB partitioned and the C: drive to which I am trying to install has about 1GB. This should be ok, particularly as one option I tried was a clean install with the Formatting option for the C: partition If I can get the W2K version os installed and ok - I dont want or need the dual boot option. But that was certainly what I did to start with and it was only after the errors that I tried the clean install with the format option.	Guest (0)

23362	2001-11-02 06:30:00	hi Ron, it's quite posible that this problem is caused by your disk partitioning. I suggest you back everything up, delete all partitions and use the W2K setup program to repartition the drive and reformat. We have encountered this stop error when resizing a partition after restoring a cloning image from a syspreped box.	Guest (0)
23363	2001-11-02 07:44:00	I got the same problem with win95 install, after many days and nights running scandisk etc. i had to get a new hard drive because the the one had so much bad sectors, so much almost 3/4 was filled with bads. and so the solution was, got a new drive even though the old one wasn't any old. run scandisk using a boot disk and see if u see bad sectors, or if its taking a long time then u know whats next... get a new drive... and make sure if it's second hand that there's no bad sectors	Guest (0)
23364	2001-11-07 20:42:00	Thanks To all who have helped Still no resolution but I suspect the partitions are the culprit But I'm going to bite the bullet and buy and new HDD and run the old one as a slave. Any problems with having a master at 7400RPM with a slave drive at 5400???? TIA and Cheers Ron	Guest (0)
