Hi



I am installing vista on my secondary SATA drive. The primary IDE drive
already has two partitions of xp. The update advisor advised to go for vista
business but I went for ultimate anyway. The problem is that the setup gets
cancelled with error 'Windows could not set the offline locale information.
Error code 0x80FE0000'. What is the problem and how can I fix it?



Thanks

dear john,
As I think, you have posted in Technet also, have you read that ?
Is your BIOS battery OK? Does your date resets with Reboot ?
So while installing Vista and during installation it reboots, thus may be
having this error. So maybe old battery causing this problem??
Try the install with new battery.

thanks

I get the error message "BIOS checksum error---defaults loaded" after the
computer has been switched off. Using `restart` after the BIOS has been reset
manually and the problem does not happen. Is this a flat CMOS battery?
