Windows Forum / Windows XP / Setup and Deployment / July 2006Upgraded from W98 to XP Pro
After upgrade & auto restart, message; FAT 32 Checking consistency file system on C: (293E-15FE) \Windows\dumpf6c3.tmp cross linked on allocation unit 985568... Windows allocated files. The computer then went into a loop: Restart >Windows XP start screen > checking file system on C: Restart > etc. I let the loop run approx 9 times - shut down computer. Pressed f8 to try & start in safe mode, in one of the loops, (it was ignored). Need help urgently! > After upgrade & auto restart, message; FAT 32 > Checking consistency file system on C: (293E-15FE) [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Pressed f8 to try & start in safe mode, in one of the loops, (it > was ignored). Need help urgently! Sounds like possibly hardware issues with the hard drive - which is possible because Windows 98 wasn't as thorough as XP is about hardware issues. Restore to the backup you made before attempting the upgrade.
