Hi,

I tried to upgrade from Windows XP Professional (SP2 installed) to Vista
Business, but my PC crashed after the last boot (Completing upgrade...).
The error message is: LIRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL.
I removed everything in my PC which I could remove (exept HDD, graphics
card, and memory - only 1Gb installed).
When doing a clean install, Vista works without a problem.. but I only have
an upgrade key :-(

Can somebody help?

Thanks!

You CAN do a clean install.

Is there an easy way around all of this? If not..how do I get to a place
where I can do the clean install, I seem to be locked out as it just keeps
shutting down in cycles.
