Windows XP Home fresh install "bad_system_config_Info" error

Hello

I'm trying to install a new copy of Windows XP Edition family on PC to a family member and I get a BSoD "bad_system_config_Info" error message and STOP code 0x00000074.after Setup support files.

Background:
-New SATA HD (tested on my PC after a few BSoD of internal CONNECTIONS and with a box external w/USB connection. - it works fine).
 
-RAM is good. I tried 3 branches far and I get the same error (another suggested thread it was a problem of RAM)

-The BIOS is being updated and functional, I went through the settings offered on another thread.

-There are no files on the hard drive. I tried to format, create partitions, deleting partitions. Nothing has worked.

-The CD is fine. I ran a set up on top of another system and installed fine. (Yes, I spent a few hours ensuring that my installation disc was good = P)

I am at a loss to know what to do now. I have not run across a solution to solve this with a fresh install, right on systems 'installed' (i.e. the last config known, Point of system restore, etc...)

Any ideas?

Looks like the problem is indeed RAM.

You have more than one stick of RAM? If RAM use as well as a stick and install XP.

  • I have a PC with windows 7 Home Premium installed. The PC is faulty and cannot be resolved. Can I reinstall the same Windows 7 to a new computer without additional cost?

    I have a PC with windows 7 Home Premium installed. The PC is faulty and cannot be resolved. Can I reinstall the same Windows 7 to a new computer without additional cost? If yes how can I do this? Some people reported issues license keys and it cannot be registered once in a PC.

    Thank you

    It is the major limitation of the OEM software that it can be installed on a PC. The COA label will confirm whether the license is OEM. A number of elements can be replaced in a PC in the way of repair, but only if exactly the same model of Council can this be exchanged.

    Even if you transfer the drive to the new PC would not authenticate because of the change of equipment, and it would be unlikely to to re-authenticate online.

    If the label is not OEM and you have a retail package, so it can be transferred.

  • Upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium - Message 'unknown error 10 '.

    I understand that this has been asked before, but unfortunately many answers are much too technical for me.  I'm a computer user, not a computer expert.

    I received the error message following twice today on my PC Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit slot.

    I have successfully upgraded to Windows 7 on my laptop with no problems.  He was also relatively fast - today, two attempts with the PC took more than four hours before the update is completed and returned me to the Windows 7 home screen.

    The most obvious solution would be to uninstall Windows Live Essentials, as the health check said that this app does not work in Windows 10.  I did not on the laptop, but maybe try it tomorrow.

    Anyone could explain the error code if you please, knowing that I'm not the type of computer terminology that was offered as solutions on other items of this type.

    Hello 2009 poster... Welcome to 2011 and I'm sure by now that you have bought a new computer or obtained the answer elsewhere.

    This is in short, that I just got this error working on a disk recovery & Dell laptop.

    This is probably due to read/write to the CD/DVD drive.  It's very annoying and simply a file library, catalogue missed reading it will mess this!

    Error & you can get there... I get closer and closer each time.

    I think this guy CD-ROM drive is odd OR even better the quality of the recovery disc might be off too.

    Other errors are too 0xfffffc02 | fffffc02 - and read the newspapers it is always a mistake in the reading of a file.

    I just got this new while typing, but I was in there last time - 15 minutes so you can see the weird nature of it.

    original title: without any time update, how do I install Ultimate

    Not without a product key for ultimate.  If you have the product key for Ultimate, you can then use the ultimate dvd to upgrade.  If both are 32-bit or both are 64-bit, you can start Windows, insert the dvd into the drive and the splash screen click install now.  Enter your product key.  When asked choose install upgrade.

    If you have 32-bit basic family and 64 bit Ultimate Windows you must start the computer with the dvd and then proceed as above, except that YOU choose Custom Install when asked.  In this case your programs and data will be deleted in a folder Windows.old and you need to reinstall your programs and data.  Register files and settings with Windows Easy Transfer before you start.  Once the installation is complete and you have reinstalled your programs, run Windows Easy Transfer to retrieve your files and settings.

    Remember that Vista Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium and Ultimate out of Microsoft support on 10 April and there will be more updates, including critical security patches after that date.  Only Vista business and company will continue to receive updates.  You might consider this a good time to upgrade to Windows 7.
