Upgrading from XP Pro SP2 to Vista Business VLK terminated with the following
error:

"Windows could not update the computer's boot configuration. Installation
cannot proceed"

Reviewing the setupact.log reveals the following error (hard to find but
search is your friend):

2007-02-06 16:02:59, Info [0x060228] IBS
Callback_CopyBootFiles:Successfully moved windows boot files.

Apologies in advance if the formating is funky for the error message.

I have checked the registry and PartMgr is the default value as others have
referenced. Has anyone seen this error or have an idea how to fix it?

Thanks,

Lance
 
its a long shot, but do you by chance have boot sector virus protection enabled in the bios.

Hello Lance,
What is in the boot.ini file?
Is the drive NTFS? What permissions are on drive itself? ( right-click on
the drive check properties, then security tab)

Thanks,

Here's the boot.ini

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP
Professional"
/noexecute=optin /fastdetect

The drive is NTFS, nothing noteworthy in the security permissions, admins
only lack the special permissions flag, which I assume is normal. Admin
group, including my account, is listed as owner.

Fwiw, I tried again last night on the administrator account. Same error. I'd
be happy to mail you the full log if you think that would help.

Thanks,

Lance
 
Hello Lance,
Nothing in there should cause any type of problem.

I am too upgrading from XPPRO Sp2 to Vista Enterprise. The installer came
back reported "Windows could not update the computer's Boot Configuration?"
I do not have the log with me, but I can get it, and upload it if you need it.

I will check with the BIOS Virus Protection tonight, but I do not think it
is enabled.

Anything you can help with would be appericated. I am trying my best not to
do a full-format and reinstall. I just want to upgrade.
 
I have the same problem here upgrading from XP home to Vista Ultimate.

I have tried twice to run the install but it doesn't get past the expanding files part of the upgrade. It gives me the erorr about not being able to update/modify the boot configuration and will stop the installation process right there.

I can't find anything anywhere else on the web about this problem. i have searched for more than an hour already. There's got to be something i can do to make it actually finish the installation process.

any help or feedback on this would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.
