Error message during Vista upgrade to Home Premimum (Same msg during the three attempts)

I tried to do the upgrade on my XPS410 three times, at the windows upgrade stage  it did a restart and I got the same error message each time:
 
BLUE SCREEN
 
WORKER_THREAD_RETURNED_AT_BAD_IRQL  
STOP
0X000000E1 (0X810070A1, 0X00000002, 0X00000000, 0X8112D260)
 
I POWERED DOWN BUT PUSHING IN AND HOLDING THE POWER BUTTON. POWER BACK UP THE VISTA SCREEN SAID UPGRADE WAS NOT SUCESSFUL.
 
My computer did go back to the original OS both times (win xp mce 2005). I tried a third time and I got the same error message. I read something about RAID ON is causing this error so I set RAID to autodetect. It blue screened at boot-up, twice, but when I switched it back to the default setting RAID ON. It booted fine. So I need to do something before I upgrade or during the upgrade???? What should I do to get Vista up and running. This error  is the same, each of the three times I've attempted to do a vista home premimum upgrade. Advice would be greatly  appreicated. Thanks

    Try this: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/windowsvista/buyorupgrade/upgradeadvisor.mspx  It may give you a clue about what software or hardware conflicts with Vista.

    I have basically the same issue on my XPS410 when upgrading from XP to Vista.  Any solution?

    Do you have any devices hooked up on the tower aside from the monitor,mouse and keyboard?  If yes, unhook them and try the upgrade again.

    Tell us your system details, maybe we can help.
    Are you using a raid array?
    Do you have 4 gigs of ram?

    Hi,
     
    I  have a Lexmark z605 printer which came up as an incompatibility issue during the compatibility process during the attempted upgrade. Aside from that, nothing else. Thank you!

    OK!
     
    XPS410, X6300 @ 1.85mhz, 2 gigs ram, 250gb sata II hd, IEEE 1394 firewire port pci express card, geforce 7600gt, dual drives sony cd/dvd &  tsst cd/dvd -+rw, Winxp mce 2005.
    By default Dell has RAID ON. I only have one HD. As I mention in my post I tried setting raid to auto detect. Thanks you all.

    The same thing happened to me. A clean install is looking good at this point. It seems like Dell ought to be coming up with some answers, though, since this seems to be a common problem.
