install error

[alt81]

Hi, i am upgrading from windows 2000 to xp pro, i can get
thru the first phase of install but when computer restarts
i get an error : "Manifest Parse Error" to be exact, that
specifies there is something wrong with a file that starts
with " i386" and it tells me setup cannot continue because
a needed component could not be copied, what can i do
about this?....
Thanks

"Manifest Parse Error" is indicative of a bad CD. Use the
original Windows XP installation CD. If you are using it,
then request a replacement.
