Cannot upgade from Windows XP

I am having problems trying to upgrade from Windows XP. Every time I reach
the "expanding files" part it stops and give me the message: "Windows could
not prepare the computer to boot into the next phase of the installation."

I thought it might be the auto run on my DVD recorder which had not been
working, but that has been resolved with Microsoft's auto repair wizard. I
also used Nero's General clean tool to get rid of any remnants of incd and
the like.

I have 2 hard drives. C: D: Windows XP is on the D: drive and my computer
boots from there. Could this be the problem? How can this be rectified?

Any help will be appreciated.

I have Windows XP Professional version 2002 with SP3

I have this same problem. I tried a clean install, from in windows an
by booting from my DVD, but I get the same error. Going from XP SP3 t
Vista Home Premium. I also have the same problem trying to do a clea
install from XP SP3 to Window 7, both from in windows and booting fro
the DVD. I read somewhere I might need to find a driver for my har
drive or something? I don't really understand that. Any help would b
appreciated
