XP Install hangs at 33mins options

by wesmeador . Updated 19 years, 4 months ago

I’m currently having a problem upgrading Win2k Pro to XP Pro with the ‘installing devices’ hanging at 33 mins and I was wondering if there was a way to cancel and rollback the upgrade?

My problem seems to revolve around SCSI drives and the error message I eventually get (after a couple of hours) is ‘Unable to load installer for TapeController. Contact your hardware vendor)’.
Of course, I don’t have a TapeController and only have 2 cards in my machine: a SCSI controller and and AGP Video card (both of which I updated to the latest drivers before starting the upgrade). I’ve also tried removing the DVD drive leaving only 1 CD/RW and the hard drives.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
