partmgr.sys

Are you installing the Service Pack 2?

If it is like that, read this article:

**You receive a "STOP: 0x00000050" error message when you try to upgrade to Windows XP Service Pack
2

Other reasons:

**Error Message: STOP 0x00000050 (0xffffffe0, 0x00000001, 0xf30da010, 0x00000000)
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA

Trying install old hard drives into a new barebones system.
As I am trying to install XP the blue screen hangs at "setup is opening
windows" for a long time.
Then I get the following message.

A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage
to your computer.

The problem seems to be caused by the following file: partmgr.sys

PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA

...

Stop 0x00000050 (0xf9cbc4ab, 0x00000000, 0xf9cbc4ab, 0x00000000)

Partmgr.sys - address f9cbc4ab bas at f9cba000, datestamp 00000000is
message.


Can anyone help me??
