Stop Error during UA of XP Pro

[Se7eN]

I'm getting handled here. Once my bootable CD is finished I boot to it and attempt an installation. Right after the install finishes copying files for Windows installation I get a blue screen with the following error:

A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

The problem seems to be caused by the following file: setupdd.sys

An attempt was made to write to read-only memory.

If this is the first time you have seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

Check to make sure any new hardwareor software is properly installed. If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer for any Windows updates you might need.

If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then select Safe Mode.

I have tried this install on two machines from CD and one VMWare session with the exact same results each time. I have tried using a CD and booting from an ISO image. I have recreated the ISO image several times from 3 different original CDs. All files appear to copy over just fine. Only when it completes the copy does it error out.

Machine #1 is a Dell Optiplex GX240.

Machine #2 is a Dell Precision Workstation 450

Any suggestions or assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I've got exactly the same problem.

Used different machines, VMware, etc.

So it can't be a hardware fault.

I'm not behind my computer, so I can't post my winnt.sif, but it's a DVD with XP SP2RC1, Office2k3 and a bunch of small programs like Symantec AV corporate, Winrar, etc.

All unattended.

Anyone has any idea what could cause this?

It happens áfter all the files are copied to te HD (the XP install and the $OEM$ files), when it tries to reboot...

Instead of adding everything and testing it, start with winnt.sif alone and test it.

Then put everything else back in one at a time until the problem is narrowed down.
