unable upgrade xp

1. When I run the install DVD from my XP system I get the message: Your computer does not have enough space for temporary files Windows installation needs at least 436 megabytes (MB) of free space on any partition for temporary files. Free some space on any partition. [Error: 0x80070103]
I have 40 GB available.
2. When I run the installer by booting to the DVD, the initial load runs and aborts with an error: OxC0000098 Kernel is missing or corrupt. The program that shows as being corrupted is ntkrnlpa.exe

Have you verified the MD5 hash of your DVD? Sounds like it might be bad. "Mordy" wrote in message

Also, your 40GB free is an NTFS partition, right? Vista won't do FAT32 "Mordy" wrote in message

I eventually got it to work; my current windows xp installation was not my active boot partition on my drive. I made it the active parition and the troubles have stopped. It would seem thought that Vista would be able to diagnose and inform me that this is a requirement.
