I apologize...I re-read your post and realized you
checked the XP CD on your brother's machine and the file
was found on the CD. I thought you'd found the file on
his machine ie:hard drive. That's why I suggested
copying to a floppy. That is very strange, but maybe -
for whatever reason- your machine can't read the file
from the CD while his can. I wonder if your HD were
installed in his machine if the file(s) would be read and
install completed? If not, I would think that meant a
problem w/your HD. It also could be that your CD Rom
doesn't/can't read the file(s) and his can.
A heck of a process, but if you're willing to go thru all
the tedious tasks involved, you might end-up w/XP working
fine on your machine. But don't forget to back-up first!!
