During the Vista RC1 upgrade for a Windows XP SP2 PC, the installation
failed advising "The upgrade was cancelled". Further error message stated
"Windows could not update the computer's boot configuration. Installation
cannot proceed".

PC is a Pentium 4 HT, with a single SATA II drive. All virus and firewall
programs have been disabled prior to commencing the upgrade. After trying
various things I have now run out of options.

Any assistance with this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

That meens Vista doesn't recognize the drive after the update and cannot
finish.
You could try by setup selecting advanced and load drivers for your controller,
or select in the BIOS (if available) to emulate a PATA drive.

This is the instruction I received, which fixed the problem and now I have
completed my upgrade:

"This bug happens when partition manager is missing as upper filter for
disk. The following steps will fix this:

1. Open
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E967-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} using regedit.
2. Confirm that UpperFilters is empty and UpperFilters.bak is present.
3. Rename UpperFilters.bak to UpperFilters.
4. Reboot and re-attempt the upgrade."

Good luck
 
Hello Eric I attempted to fix Upperfilter but I do not have the
Upperfilter.bak . Do you have any suggestions. Please help.
