| | Installation error - Build 7000 Specs: e6600 2.4ghz 500GB HDD 2 GB RAM Windows XP Pro Mounted .iso image and proceeded to do a clean install, got till the end of the installation and an error saying: "Windows could not update registry data in the installation" popped up and reverted my setup back to Windows XP.    I don't have DVD burner so I don't have the option of burning the .iso to a DVD. I tried setting up a dif. partition thru PartitionMagic but was not able to... Help? TIA |

| | Found this post related to a Vista installation: Quote: I got the message "Windows could not update registry data in the installation." on several attempts to upgrade Vista. Each time, I uninstalled more software (including parts of IIS that caused some other folks trouble). I also checked my event logs (using eventvwr.exe) and cleaned up problems reported there until no more errors were being logged. Then I found the file C:\$Windows.~BT\Sources\Rollback\setupact.err had some useful info. An error message there suggested trouble with the HKLM\SYSTEM\MountedDevices key in the registry. I cleaned out some old entries from there, rebooted, and tried the upgrade again. This time it worked (although it appeared to freeze a couple of times toward the end, requiring a hard reboot -- scary stuff). If you want to try cleaning up the MountedDevices key, read up on it first to avoid causing more problems, and save the existing data there first. I kept the \DosDevices entries and \??\Volume entries for my floppy and hard drives (A:, C:, F  and removed all the other entries. On reboot, Windows rebuilt the entries for my CD and DVD drives.Gonna check it out.. |

| | Hi Albert, That link could well be right. A clean install will be a better bet. You may need to create a partition and format to NTFS before you begin to install 7. How come you couldn't create another partition - any error messages? Hope it helps SIW2 |

| | Type regedit in run via the start menu. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Navigate to SYSTEM Navigate to MountedDevices Delete all entries except for the /DosDevices entry pertaining to your main hard drive. Install! Cheers. |
