I had the same problem. This is an old thread but so are all xp problems. No support any more so.. here I am. I was able to get past this error by cleaning my install cd with eye glass cleaner.. now I got another error..
STOP: c0000221 Unknown Hard Error
\SystemRoot\System32\ntdll.dll

If by chance anyone is still using XP Pro or happens to know anyone/any where to find all the updates for XP that they don't support any more..I would find it very useful.. I am building a computer that I want to have every windows operating system on. Crazy nestolgia(sp?) Its a project I've wanted to do for many years. I am missing my copy of windows 3.1 now though because it was on floppies and are now corrupt. So beginning with win 95 is no longer an option for me either because I have the upgrade version. I have started with win 98. 1 reason I have wanted to have this multiboot system is to be able to use all the old peripherals and games purchased over the last 20 years. Its also cool to see how fast the early operating systems run with the newer processors. My first processor was a DX2 66 it was the fastest and I upgraded that system with a huge stick of memory that costed $200 and made it lightening fast.. in short it was a system that ran at 66 mhz with 8 mb of ram and a 120 mb hd.. it came with windows 3.1 and msdos (dont remember which dos now but have the upgrade I purchased for it also on floppy).. Anyway I am going to ramble on back to the above problem. Remember I was able to get past the problem this thread is about by cleaning the install cd with eye glass cleaner so try it before anything else.
