Re: clean xp home install stalls our at 22 mintues--fatal error

[rckausen]

On my third attempt to reboot I got a white screen with
this error message: Falal error: internal setup data
structures are corrupted (phase 0). I suspect the only
thing to do is start completely over unless you have
another suggestion. Thanks.

Try shutting down and pulling out your network card, restart and then see
if setup will continue. When you get to the Desktop then Shutdown and
reinsert the network card and startup. XP might be having trouble with the
nic. That occasionally happens. If not then remove the network card and try
a reinstall.

I've also seen this same issue with some IDE addon cards. Have had to pull
them until Windows was loaded :-)

Thank you. I ended up with a fatal error
message: "Internal Setup data structures are corrupted
(phase 0)." I will start over completely after running
defrag on the disk.
