| I've been doing some windows 2000 installs most of them were complete installs and went smoothly.
However this one was an upgrade from 98SE.
After the NTFS convert on the restart I recieved the following:
"
Error
c:\windows\sytem\aldmgr.cpl
failed unexpectedly error 0
Fatal Error
Setup was unable to retrieve the product ID because of the following error
RegOpenKeyEx(system\setup\pid)
returned error 2 (2)
Setup was unable to retrieve the product identification of the system you are installing the Windows 2000 media may be dammaged
"
I do know that windows 2000 cd is not the problem since I have used it to install 2000 on several other pcs. I did a search on the product id error. I read something dealing with XP Pro and a .man file.
any ideas?
Thanks |
