During the upgrade from WinXP MCE 2005 to Windows Vista Ultimate(upgrade
version), at 22% during the expanding of files, the computer restarts and I
get a blue screen with the following error message:

worker_thread_returned_at_bad_irql

stop: 0x000000e1 (0x810070a1, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x8112d260)

Can anyone tell me what this is error is referring to? I have a Dell XPS 410
w/2 GB RAM, 250 GB HDD, Nvidea 7600 GT video card, and a 19 inch Dell
widescreen TV monitor.
 
might check the MS knowledge base and/or google.

This is pure guesswork on my part, based on the number of people having
problems with nVidea drivers. (I'm not one of them.)

You might have better luck trying a clean install on a separate
partition. Just don't enter your upgrade key during the install.
Wait until you have a working Vista before using your key to activate.

Disable SATA Raid in BIOS.
