With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution

The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

Repeated 'SVCHOST.EXE Error' after clean install of Win2K Pro.

Asked by tomgrin in Windows 2000 Operating System

Tags: error

Hey all, I just helped a friend upgrade his (totally shot) Win98 box with Win2000 Pro, and during the install I opted to delete the existing partition and install a clean copy of the new OS in Fat32 format over whatever was there. All seemed fine in the install, except at one point at which it coughed up an error about SVCHOST.EXE and making a log file for the error, (this was during the install). We were able to continue and finish the install, but upon initial boot of the OS when we started to download the windows updates, it kept coughing this SVCHOST.EXE error, which basically leaves us having to restart over and over. I've tried to reinstall the OS twice now, but its still coming up with this error.

1) Any ideas what this is about?
Is "deleting the existing partition" the same thing as totally nuking the system clean? If so, what might cause this to keep hapenning.

2) Is there an advantage to reinstalling and formatting the drive to NTFS vs Fat32? Might that help/hurt us out?

Thanks!
