Virus protection in BIOS enabled ? Or any other form of AV that is protecting
the bootsector ?

I have the same problem. AV is disabled.

I have the same problem. AV is disabled. I do have Norton Ghost running. I am
going to try without Ghost running - I will let you know

Does Microsoft monitor this board? This seems like it would be a show
stopper if the upgrade fails for as many of us that have run into it in just
the last few days. I just want to know under what conditions throws up the
error. The IE team is very responsive to their boards.

This is the instruction I received, which fixed the problem and now I have
completed my upgrade:

"This bug happens when partition manager is missing as upper filter for
disk. The following steps will fix this:

1. Open
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E 967-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} using regedit.
2. Confirm that UpperFilters is empty and UpperFilters.bak is present.
3. Rename UpperFilters.bak to UpperFilters.
4. Reboot and re-attempt the upgrade."

Good luck.

Thanks for taking the time to post the fix that worked for you.
Unfortunately it did not work for me and I still get the same error. If
anyone has any other suggestions they would be appreciated.
