how do I get my money back
John;
1. Return it to the seller. 2. Also if you live in North America and have had it less than 30 days, you can return directly to Microsoft: http://www.microsoft.com/info/nareturns.htm This applies to retail not OEM. The "Manifest Parse Error" typically indicates one several things: 1. Copy of Windows CD - Use original CD only 2. Dirty/damaged CD or drive - Clean CD and drive, replace one or both. Whatever the cause, the correct information on the CD is probably not getting past the drive. -- Jupiter Jones [MVP] http://www3.telus.net/dandemar/ "john" wrote in message ...

It has happened, but it is rare.
Can you temp install a different CD drive? Or temp install a different hard drive and see if you can perform a Clean Installation of Windows XP. -- Jupiter Jones [MVP] http://www3.telus.net/dandemar/ "john" wrote in message ...

John, If you are going to do a Clean Install (Which you can as Jupiter Jones
stated ) - Make sure you backup any important files first onto cod. The clean install will totally format your hard drive. The clean install is the best way to do it.
