I have an IBM Netvista, running a Celeron 600, 256mb ram, 40 gig Hd. Have Windows 98se installed but trying to upgrade to xp pro. Keep getting stop: messeges like this; stop: 0x00000050 (0xc173b31c,0x00000000,0807cbefa,0x00000000) or it says PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGE_AREA. I even got this once: CDFS_FILE_SYSTEM. Can someone please help me?! It's driving me crazy. :eek: :confused:

Some older machines just don't get along with Windows XP. It could be any number of things, (legacy hardware, BIOS incompatibilities).

Are you trying a fresh install? Or an upgrade? (Hint: you should NEVER upgrade from Windows 9x to Windows XP other than by a FRESH INSTALL, you're just asking for problems with old leftover legacy drivers, DLL's and other stuff).
