XP for Windows 8.0 update

Attempted to upgrade XP Home SP3 to Win 8.0 with Windows 8 Upgrade 32-bit CD.  After several reboots, I finally reached the victory 8 menu start (briefly) and then immediately received a message that was restarting windows to solve problems.  Then nothing!  Have you tried the process of clean boot without result.  How should I proceed?

See below for the things that you can before you migrate Windows 8, including the backup of your Windows XP installation.

How to upgrade Windows XP to Windows 8

If you continue to have problems of migration, you must try a custom installation:

Boot from the DVD Windows 8

Click Install now

Accept the license agreement

When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 8 click Next.

You will receive the following warning:

The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

(At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

    A1. Yes, as much as you need at every update of safety critical other.

    When you are prompted to save CheckSUR, choose to not run it.
    When the download is complete, close all open programs and browsers.

    If the installed antivirus is Firewall Norton/McAfee party or a 3rd is used, then suggest you first boot system configuration before you run it.

    NOTE: In the clean boot state will be disabled all firewalls of part 3. Ensure that the native Vista firewall is now enabled - enable Windows Firewall on or off

    Now run CheckSUR (. Windows6 0-KB947821-v12-x 86.msu).
    Restart the system for the same configuration of boot clean and do a check for updates in Windows Update in Control Panel.
    If the system can search, detect, download, and install updates now, save an update of a subsequent test.

    If the system can or cannot now, cancel the clean boot configuration and restart in normal Windows mode.
    See if the registered update installs now.

    If the system still cannot install the updates, please copy and paste the contents of one of the newspapers that CheckSUR created when he ran. They are located in and are named

    If the system can install the updates in the clean boot configuration, but not in normal mode of Windows, then there are 3rd party software which is the origin of the update installation problem.
