Re: Completing Upgrade (64%)...
Hi,
Looks like it was seeking input from the unattend file, are you using one?
Many of the Dell's I've seen encountering issues with Vista have two
problems: a) they need a BIOS update and b) the video has some proprietary
problems that aren't addressed by standard drivers from the manufacturer of
the card.

Re: Completing Upgrade (64%)...
I'm not using a unattend file. Just regular upgrade. I've also updated the
BIOS to the latest version for Vista. I have to figure out whats causing
this!

Re: Completing Upgrade (64%)...
Hi,
Use a third party tool to carve out a separate partition, then install Vista
cleanly to it. If it is successful, then the hitch is something in the XP
installation that is interfering. If it is not, then you have a hardware
issue and, as mentioned, it could be BIOS, video, or any other part of the
system. The solution there is to start trimming until you isolate it.

Re: Completing Upgrade (64%)...
I've already done that. It install cleanly on an identical machine. I know
it something with the current XP installation, but what? I've upgraded the
BIOS to the latest from DELL, removed the add-in ATI X600 video card. Combed
the registry. Nothing.

Re: Completing Upgrade (64%)...
Hi,
Although it may have worked on an identical machine, you may have faulty or
flakey hardware on this one. XP is fairly tolerant of that, particularly if
the OS is already installed. I would still recommend a test install to this
system.
As to XP interfering, try putting it in diagnostic mode to limit background
processes (msconfig/general tab).
