Hello People,
Right i am having a right nightmare trying to fix my computer and hopefully someone out there can help.
I have recently fitted a new hard drive in my computer as a storage place. I have set it up using the disc provided and all seemed okay. It began to run unstable after a few days so thought as 1 hard drive was running as Fat 32 and the other NTFS there must be a conflict issue. I decided to format both drives and do a fresh install, it detects both drives fine, 1 is set as a master, the other as a slave. When it starts copying the windows files over for the installation it keeps saying cannot copy file xxx. It is always different files it cannot copy, i have tried 2 backed up copys of XP Pro which both had the same errors and a original version of XP home but this is still have copy errors. I have tried using my dvd writer to read the disc, my dvd rom to read the disc and still no joy!
Any bright sparks out there with any ideas?
Thanks
