Win2k --- XP Pro uprgrade. OMG help!!!

Hi.
I have been running win2k on this setup for the last 6 months without any (major) problems.
Yesterday decided to upgrade it to XP pro. Since I have tons of stuff on my HDD I didn’t want a fresh install so I just clicked the  Upgrade option. It went fine with no hiccups but…XP will only load correctly until  “Applying personal settings” then I get a BSOD every time. 
It will only start in safe mode.
I didn’t add any hardware so i know it’s not an Hardware problem.
I have tried to reinstall but same happens.
I have disabled all USB, LAN, Audio etc and removed drivers for those.
Also removed drivers for 6800GT, unplugged all other drives like IDE HDD, CD-RW, DVD.
So even with just the mobo and 1 Sata HDD I still get the BSOD while loading personal settings. 
Any ideas? I would h8 to loose all my data and I cant think of anything else to try.   
Tanx in advance.

Thank you all for the replies.
I do have a backup or 2 in another drive, but it will be win2k backup.
I guess I could recover most of my data if I reinstall win2k.
But just the thought of reinstalling all the rest…..it will take me weeks to get it all in.   
I will try your suggestions first thing when I get home. If that doesn’t help I think I have no choice but to install win2k on another drive just so I can do a restore and maybe I can import files and settings to a fresh XP installation then.

  • HT204406 iTunes Match saying I'm limited to 5 devices...but I don't have 5 devices and won't work on my MacBook Pro. Please Help!

    I've just got a new MacBook Pro, and want to have iTunes Match on it. But when I go to 'add this computer' in iTunes on the MacBook, a message comes up saying I've reached my limit of Match being on 5 devices. This makes no sense because I only have match on my iPad and my old Windows laptop and nothing else.
    Out of curiosity, I turned off iTunes Match on my iPad to see what would happen, but I still cannot get Match on my MacBook Pro.
    Please help!

    Do a backup before proceeding.
    Try putting the 10.6.3 disk in the computer. During a restart, hold down the option/alt key, select the disk, and see if you can boot from there. If so, select the language, then go to the Utilities menu, and select Disk Utility. Check to see what partition scheme you have by selecting the hard drive.
    If you don't have GUID, you are going to need to erase the drive and reformat, which will cause you to lose all your data. Did I mention doing a backup?
    If you do have GUID, run Disk Utility repair disk and repair permissions. You may have to do this more than once. Then try in install 10.6.3.
    If successful, use the combo update to get to 10.6.8 and then run Software update until there are no more updates.

  • How do use the hum remover in final cut pro 5? Help

    How do use the hum remover in final cut pro 5? Help!!

    Simply drop the effect onto the appropriate audio track. Set the frequency for the hum frequency (50Hz or 60Hz depending on your power supply). Include whichever harmonics you think might be present eg. 100, 150, 200Hz.
    Note that I have generally had more success by using Soundtrack Pro's noise removal tool.

    just joined cloud computing  having trouble accessing premier pro ...help please

    Hi Jeff:  thanks for getting back to me.  My daughter was downloading
    components but had downloaded the free demo last night.  She
    uninstalled what she thought was the demo but now we are unable to
    access the Premier Pro component and no icon is present on the screenor
    otherwise.  This is our first time with a Mac so maybe we just don't
    know where it is but are at a loss right now.  Thinking I should
    cancel my product purchase and then start from scratch if there is no
    easy solution.
      Your thoughts?

    USB drive with install image is showing in Startup Manager on a Mac Pro, but wont boot. Showing circle with cross strip, and shut down automatically. USB device are made and work on two different MacBook Pro, but used on Mac Pro. Any help?

    OS X installers have always been fairly specific, hardware-wise. I haven't read anything reflecting that situation with the Recovery HD, so it may be that the Recovery HD created for the MacBook Pro does not have the necessary drivers for the Mac Pro. Obviously, nothing definitive here, but a possibility.

    My Airport Extreme cannot be discovered by my macbook pro. Need help.

    New, out of the box, the AirPort Extreme is broadcasting a wireless signal with a name like Apple Network xxxxxx.
    If you want to configure the AirPort Extreme using wireless, you must log on to this network first from your Mac.
    Click the AirPort icon at the top of the screen, click Join Other Network, click Show Networks, select the Apple Network xxxxxx and log on. No password is required. Then open AirPort Utility.
    Or
    If you have a spare Ethernet cable handy, connect it from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Extreme to establish a direct connection. Then open AirPort Utility.
