installing

[Gerry]

Can you get your hands on another copy Windows XP? From
past experience (i've seen that error myself) it usually
means a problem reading the disk/cd. That would be the
first step I would try. Another thing I would try would
be to make sure that there are no smudges or fingerprints
on the CD and last but not least get a lens cleaner and
clean your CD drive lens. There could be some dust on
the lenes that could cause that type of error as well.
Hope this will help. Good luck.
