Generic installer Error
My hard drive was messed up so a friend gave me his old
hard drive to replace mine. I FDISKed it, partitioned and formatted it, but when I tried to do a clean re- install with my windows 98SE I got this messag which I have never seen before; " Generic installer Error Message SU99407 AddReg=processing error (0x197)." I tried a third party program to wipe my drive again,partioned it,formatted it and tried another clean install with a full version of windows 98SE and got the same error messag. Does anyone out there know how to overcome this. I have search for different Microsoft errors and could not see any information on this problem. Thanks for any help. Patrick |

Generic installer Error
The system was not able to create some registry entries associated with the
installation procedure. This might be because the INF file (which contains the entries to add) is corrupted. Try copying the installation CD to a folder on the hard drive and installing from that folder. It might be because the registry is getting corrupted, and the most common reason for this is bad RAM. Get a RAM diagnostic routine and confirm that RAM is working OK. Do you know why the original hard disk drive got so badly messed up? -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (DTS) "Patrick Ezy" wrote in message ...
