Default su0410 error

i'm trying to load windows me, but when i get to the "checking installed
components" i get a su0410 error - c:\wininsto400\msdxwin.inf
missing/damaged or not enough memory.

1) What is this file? how can i re-install it from my windows 98 cd
2) when it says not enough memory does it mean memory on hard drive or RAM?
what's the minimum RAM for windows me?

Peter

Peter, can you please confirm - or rather expand - your answer(s) to Noel in
your previous thread.

Noel asked :-
"What is the source of the disk? - is it one that was prepared by an OEM
specifically for the laptop you used it on?

You replied :-
"The software didn't work on my pc, so i tried it on my laptop - just to see
if there was a problem with the disks (bought new and sealed)."

In other words, are you using a 'genuine' MS WinMe (retail) either Full or
Upgrade CD, or is it an OEM CD?

You refer to "disks" (bought new and sealed) - which suggests that they are
OEM CD's. If so, and this is where the water becomes muddier, it is VERY
UNLIKELY that they will let you 'upgrade' your current system. Hence the
error report. However, you *may* be able to do a 'clean install'

Please give details of your "bought new and sealed disks" as requested by
Noel in his final post in the previous thread. My guess is that it's not a
memory issue that you have, but the SU0410 error is referring to you
attempting to 'upgade' from OEM disks, or a 'mismatch' due to
machine-specific OEM disks.

BTW - The minimum requirement of RAM being 32Mb - according to the
'setuptip.txt' file on an MS WinMe (retail) CD.

Yes!

But as you still haven't identified your "disks" (bought new and sealed)
then I suggest you read the following which *should* cover most situations.

If you intend using an OEM 'Recovery' CD to re-install from, then read the
manufactures handbook for instructions, otherwise:-

Assuming that you are intending to do a clean install using an MS (retail)
WnMe CD (or OEM, but see later), take a look at (and print out) the
"cleanhd.txt" file in the win9x folder on your WinMe CD. You can also view
the "Windows Millennium Edition Cleanhd.txt File Contents" at:
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;271673
Study it carefully and be sure you have a note of your product key code
(the 25 digit code that is supplied with your CD) and - if your WinMe CD is
an 'upgrade' version (rather than a 'full version') - some proof of a
'previous version' - e.g. a Win98 CD (N.B not required for OEM)

Before you go any further, you really ought to study the following KB
article, "How to Use the Fdisk Tool and the Format Tool to Partition or
Repartition a Hard Disk" to confirm that you've formatted your disk
correctly for WinMe
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;255867

HTH and good luck

Mart

Peter, just an afterthought.

As you probably don't already have a WinMe Startup (floppy) Disk - which you
may need to allow Fdisk to partition a 'large disk', plus, it will make life
easier - you can download an image from www.bootdisk.com to your existing HD
and run the utility from your HD to create a WinMe floppy start-up disk.

Peter,

Did you uninstall IE6.0, or downgrade it to IE5.x before trying the =
reinstall of WinME?

Were you running Windows Media Player 9 before trying the reinstall?

These 2 need to be removed before attempting an install of WinME on top =
(a.k.a. dirty install).

Please confirm if this is the case and I may have a workaround to be run =
from DOS (from a startup floppy boot).

However the poster's problems have little or nothing to do with having
either IE6 or WMP9 installed.

Indeed Mike, just to remind ourselves :-

Copy of original post:-

"I'm running windows 98 and i recently tried to upgrade to windowsme. I know
that the disk is good (as i used it to upgrade my laptop). however on my pc
i get an error message SU0410. There is a file missing or corrupted
c\wininsto400. The other suggestion is that there is not enough space, but
this is impossible so it's this file. I tried to re-install windows98 to
correct the error, but it too would not install due to the same error. what
can i do? -- Peter"

IOW - WinMe ain't there in the first place g
