Help With Installing Xp

[Nobody1234]

Check your harddrive with diagnostic diskette from its makers web page.

I don't know if you reformated or not but try reformatting in NTFS.

Has your Windows CD worked before? Maybe it's defective (corrupt files). If not get a new copy.

Check out this page about that error msg: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=314474

thanks for that info! guess what? for some strange reason win xp installed. perfectly fine (if i only knew why...), then i installed some drivers programs which required a restart, i said ok. get the same mistake as before, but after i tried restarting a few times rhe computer booted up, since i have to put XP on again later anyways, i guess it's good that i know this stuff now. thanks for the help you people gave me.
