Hello, I am also experiencing the exact error message. I see where roy64 initiated this topic on March 26, 2007 without any responses from anyone. Surely someone at Microsft or on the forum has experienced this situatiopn also. What's up ???????

Same problem here, started on 6/26/07 out of the blue. Cannont logon or use the setup disk to reinstall windows XP pro.

Hello - Did some research on the problem, looks to be some sort of virus. if you do a search on Isass.exe in Google you will find much info. I was able tp pvercpme the problem by restoring from a Norton Ghost Backup to eliminate the problem. Have you tried to start your computer in Safe Mode and then do a System Restore? (i.e. all programs/accessories/system tools/system restore). Hope this provides some insight and help to you.

It took 2 attempts but i managed to get it working properly now.. What i did was put in my win xp disc from my other pc and restarted the computer and it started to load great and since then i've had no problems with it.. I hope this helps others who have the same problem

I hope Someone can help me clean this virus....

I am having the same problem now with Windows Server 2003. Except I just tried installing it onto my hard drive for school and I am coming up with that error. The Server 03 Cd has gone through partitioning the drive and the other steps but stops before installing 03 onto my hard drive and I receive this error message. I have tried reinstalling it 3 times with no avail. Help, its for school, I am in tech school for computers ha ha ha, this is what my teacher told me to do.
