Running XP Home upgrade over 98SE. Have formatted and
reinstalled 98 and Home at least twice. Neither Home
installation has gone perfectly. Crashes happen mostly
when on Internet but not always. Crashes are frequent
and all show blue screen which can't be read because it
disappears too quickly. Computer reboots and runs disk
check. Almost all listed problems during check have to
do with Internet files. All those listings include
following: "The first allocation unit is not valid. The
entry will be truncated." Woe is me. What to do?

If the upgrade install is not working on that system, try a clean install
instead. You can do this even with the upgrade version of XP Home.

See the link below for steps on performing a Clean Install.
