A mates laptop has been playing up so he tried to reinstall windows, but now keeps getting the following message:
Pressing OK brings up the log files as:
He's tried booting from:
1) the recovery disc supplied with the laptop
2) a friends CD of Windows XP Home Edition
3) the floppy boot disc's downloaded from Microsoft
and still no joy
The laptop is 13 months old, 1.2ghz 128MB
Any ideas?

He tried to repair his original install first, then tried a fresh install, reformatting the hard drive etc.
It goes ok untill the message in my first post pops up at around 39mins remaining.

This Microsoft page seems to match your first error message - but talks about it applying to upgrades from one version of Windows to another..........
It may give some clues though.....

Hmmmm..... I'm thinking my mates laptop has got BIG problems.
Just tried to install 98se and even that causes problems-
It starts off from the cd and gives me options etc, then when its about to start formatting it asks me to insert the 98 cd (which is already in the drive) and it wont read the disc any more!
Also tried with 95 with no luck

Try deleting the entire partition then reboot, re-create it the try again, if not your HDD may have a bad sector on it, you could try downloading a low-level formating tool, or just get a new one!
