Hi everyone

I just can't install xp on my hard disk everytime I try I have error messages like"... file was not found check your cd" and I tried to install XP with different cds so I know the problem doesn't come from the cd. I even changed my HD because I thought It could be dameged but nothing works better, same problems. the first time I tried with the new HD It worked quite fine till the end of the installation when It told me some files were not found and windows worked fine on the new HD but I just couldn't instal anything so I formatted my HD and tried to reinstal XP but this time I had the same messages that I used to get when instaling on my old HD. :confused:

Possibly the CD Drive is the problem rather than the disk.

You could also try the winnt method as suggested in http://www.pcguide.com/vb/showthread.php?t=39304 using a Win9X boot floppy. If the files fail to copy to the hard drive there is either a problem with the CD or with the CD Drive.
