ERROR:: 0xC004F061

You might have done a fresh install and only have  upgrade licensing for windows 7.  Bad news, you have to reinstall XP then install Windows 7 from INSIDE your XP install.

If you don’t wand to upgrade the XP to Windows 7 you can choose custom options, but you must still have XP loaded on this system.

From Microsoft:

“If you want to format the hard drive, and you are using an upgrade version of Windows 7, you’ll need to start your computer using the Windows 7 upgrade DVD, click Custom (advanced), and then click Drive options (advanced).”
