With the latest CTP I tried to upgrade.

firts it asked to remove some software (virtual CDs)

then I works for more than 2 hours and after a reboot I got an error: Vista
was unable to upgrade. Previous windows has been restored.

I must say the restore was Perfect! (this is great)

But I was not able to upgrade my installation.

the clean install took more than 1 hour but succeded!

A number of factors can lead to this:

Incompatible software such as the one you mentioned, AntiVirus
Incompatible hardware device internal or external, limited hard disk space,
memory

Were there any error messages other than not able to upgrade?

Unable to upgrade

Posted: 06-26-2006, 11:32 PM

I have tried several times to upgrade Windows XP to Vista but it hangs at
"Completing Upgrade" At this point I have to do a cold boot and the system
is rolled back. I have even tried to upgrade a fresh install of XP and can
not get any further. Any help will be appreciated that will allow me to
install Vista.

I have the same exact problem. repeated message that "drive is not ready for
use...please check drive...." even though drive and disk seem to be
functioning fine.
