i took the hard drive out of the computer that was giving me the message and
put it in another computer and i thought it was finished installing windows but the next step we "setting up hardware and finialzing settings" so the computer that was giving me that message must have a hardware problem.

Look at Setup.txt in the Windows folder and make sure you have ticked off
every item in the list before starting the install. Especially check that you have disabled BIOS boot sector protection,and make sure you have unplugged all unnecessary hardware. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (Windows - Shell/User) "sthompson" wrote in message ...
