windows failed load because critical system driver m

Hi Trying To Install Vista Beta Install While xp is running Gets all the way to first boot and a Black screen of death occurs File:$windows.~BT\windows\system3\drivers\imagedrv.sys Status:0XC000000F Info: Windows failed to load because a critical system driver is missing or corrupt no network Cannot finish installation Help is appreciated

Hi Ray,
Sounds like you may have Nero ImageDrive installed on your machine. This version may not be compatible with Vista or at least during setup. If you can boot back into XP I would suggest uninstalling All Nero Products then try the upgrade. In the $windows.~BT\Sources\Panther directory there should be a file called setupact.log which may have more info on the problem but it sounds like Nero is your culprit. If your still having issues please post back with the setupact.log file.
Thanks

Ron thanks I believe you are right on target. The only concern I have is related to imagedrv.sys when i uninstall will a ms driver take its place? Does ms have a driver called imagedrv.sys and how do I retrieve this driver?

Hi Ray, This driver is not part of the Windows operating system and is not needed/required for setup. It actually belongs to your Nero software. This software may or may not work in Vista and an update from Nero may be required..
