hello there, i am having a huge problem. i am trying to install winxp from a bootable cd. when the setup starts to copy files some file are not copy. a message comes up saying that it cannot copy certain files. so i tried to install win2000 and the same thing happened. at first i thought it was my cdrom or my harddrive. so i move my hard drive to another computer and winxp install fine with no problem. then i move the cdrom from the other computer to mine and the same error happened. now i know that it's not the cdrom nor the harddrive. i tried installing win98 and it goes fine but when i start clicking icons it doesn't work. i format my drive using ntfs, fat32 and nothing. i even did a low level format. can somebody helps? why some files are not copy during setup? i even move the i386 folder into the c: and install from there and the setup was not able to copy some files.
