Yvonne Lam October 31, pm. Since I didn't have another pc with cd-drive I managed to copy all files to a USB as described before. When booting the pc with the USB I even managed to load Windows Mini XP step 3 , then it starts opening windows and the screen turns black after that and nothing is happening.

Tried another USB slot already, but the same. Any idea how to solve this problem or what causes it? CD is running since long, blank screen with DOS like pointer.

Does it take time to load prompt we are looking step 3? Hi Constantinos, Thank you very much! Your tutorial is solving my problem.

I tried the procedure in this site, and while I was able to burn the procedure from another computer in to a CD I cannot continue on my problematic lap top. Hello Dads Cornejo, Probably System restore feature was not active before, so there are not restore points available.

This solved the problem with my system since I was not able to get to Repair option with XP cd as suggested everywhere.

I'm sure its genuine for the following reasons: It was listed as an upgrade, but the CD is not labeled "Upgrade". Here are the things I tried initially. Next, I received the following error: Setup cannot set the required Windows XP configuration information. Experiment 1: I restored my minimal system.

It paused at the same place during the upgrade and gave the same error as before: Setup cannot set the required Windows XP configuration information. Experiment 2: I restored my minimal system. Experiment 3: I restored my minimal system. If anyone has any ideas I'd appreciate replies.
