Question and Installation Troubles

Ok -- I started running another attempt, selecting the upgrade option at
about 7AM EST today. I'll send you an e-mail around either 7PM EST tonight or
7AM EST tomorrow morning, depending one when I return home.

Thank you again.

Hello,
Give it more time than before. Setup was continuing in the log file you
sent me, it had passed the point where it slowed down for 30 minutes

The dots don't always keep moving during the install. That's one thing
that is going to bug and trip up a lot of people. I noted at least 4
places during install that the Vista install engine and my hard drive
indicator light simply stopped doing anything for a long enough time
to make you wonder what the heck happened only for it to start up
again and continue on its own without me doing anything.

The most scary part is the screen goes totally dark several times, no
warning of any kind before it does and nothing, tick, tick, tick, then
its back to showing something. XP and earlier versions of Windows TOLD
YOU when the install process needed to reboot so you wouldn't freak,
then it showed a count down timer until it rebooted. Vista don't.

The last "stall" and it isn't a hang, is you see the primary new Vista
desktop in all its glory, but minus everything. No icons, no logo, no
text, no sound, no message to wait, just nothing, it just sits there
for almost a solid minute before it again reboots and continues then
finally shows the real new desktop for the first time.

Vista has a somewhat freaky install routine. And I thought some
versions of Linux installing were strange looking. <wink>

Hi again everyone,

I didn't get home last night, and am still not home so I can't get the
setupact.log file again. However I called and asked my friend to check on its
progess. The update is still at the Installing features and updates part (bar
has not moved, if that matters) and has been running since 7AM EST Thursday.
That means the install has been going for over 24 hours now. Is that normal?

Due to some unfortunate circumstances I will not be home until around 8 or 9
EST tonight, and can get the log file again then, if you feel the install is
hanging in some way.

Thanks to everyone,
Mike

Hello Mike,
I have seen some slow upgrade times, so yes, I would like to see another
log file
if you have one. Let setup continue if you can, you may want to check that
the log file is still generating entries. ( timestamps in log file should
show progress if any)
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]

Alright - I just emailed over another log file (replied to your last e-mail).

Well, I have had this install running for three days and still going. Doesn't
look like it is going to work. Do you think that buying a new disc could
help? Or is it definitely an issues with hardware/software compatibility?

Well the install got past that point, tried to restart, and BSOD'd.

The BSOD::

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

STOP : 0x0000000A ( 0x00000000, 0x0000001B, 0x00000001, 0x81829194 )

This usually means important drivers are corrupt, correct?

Now, in this case, I'm *assuming* that it means the drivers that Vista
installed for itself are corrupt? Would this mean the issue was with the disk
or something?

Any help?
