I stand corrected but still need help

[Theresa]

OK, I read the screen more carefully before it flashed
away, Here's what happens:
Started upgrade ( yes I chose upgrade, not new
installation)
computer rebooted and blue screen came up (it says to
disable antivirus and run chkdsk/F)
Restarted again and had choice of XP home or continue
with XP setup....chose home and disabled antivirus and
ran chkdsk.
Restarted a couple more times for good measure and always
have choice of home or continue with pro setup. If I
choose pro setup, still get blue screen with same msg.

Is your antivirus program restarting when you reboot the computer? Use
the program's menus to disable any and all realtime scanning of files
and mail. May also need to go into Computer Management> Services. If
your antivirus program has added a system service, change its startup
type to disabled.
