Freeze @ Starting Windows during install

[hp_spec]

Hey,

Using my Slipstreamed SP2 Unattended XP CD it freezes everytime it gets to "Setup is Starting Windows" during the initial install. Your help is much appreciated.

Mine freezes on the first reboot after install. It freezes when the bootscreen is showing,.

if its saying setup is starting windows & freezing, this COULD be a harddrive prob, cuz at that stage its checking for previously installed windows i believe

& the bootscreen thing could be a kernel prob (ntoskrnl)

It could be either, harddrive error, or a related thing such as driver error. Sometimes the driver gets corrupt for some reason, or you added a SATA/RAID/ATA driver, and forgot to update the file after adding entries to txtsetup.sif

I had the same after slipstreaming SP2...

What I did:

- restore i386\SVCPACK.IN_ (i deleted svcpack.inf because i didn't need any hotfixes anymore, but I thought maybe windows needed a 'default' one..)

- disable regtweaks in RunOnceEx.cmd (at the moment I'm trying to get these in again)

Maybe any of the above works?
