Just setting up my Athlon 64 FX53 with an Abit AV8 motherboard with 1GB Corsair XMS PRO 3200 memory and 2x 36.6GB 10,000 RPM Westeran Digital Drives. Running into the standard blue screen windows error when booting up to install XP PRO. Windows 98 installs fine and then when I upgrade and boot down to finish the installation I am getting the error:
"Windows has been shut down to prevent further damage from your computer. Run CHKDSK /F to check for errors on the drive."
All the hardware is working fine. Posting on the of chance somone has fixed something like this before.
Cheers.

BSOD's are usually caused by faulty ram, alsom athlon 64 boards are picky with certain ram, try getting the ram replaced, you got CS: Source yet mate?
Can't boot straight to XP Pro due to a critical error when it comes around to the four boot disk. Not to worry anymore, turned "Always boot to SATA ROM" off in the Bios and saved a new profile to the bios, booted through and everything is running top dog.
Oh and you can boot from 98 SE to XP, should know having done it hundreds of times.

Just boot off the XP disk, it'll prompt you for your Win95/98/2000/ME/Whatever, shove that in, remove it and continue the install.

I was under the impression that M$ didn't produce upgrades for 98 to XP?

Why are you installing Win 98 on it? If you've got an upgrade, you know you can just install XP straight on to the empty HDD and it'll just ask you to insert your 98 CD to check.
