Help with setup freezing

[DancingMonkey]

I bought an AMD 64 3200 processor (socket 754) I put the entire computer together, yet when i go to install windows either windows XP or 2k, it come back saying its missing files when it starts loading its temp setup files to the computer, i know both my cds are good, as i just used them to load another machine. I have a Gigbyte GA-K8NS mobo brand new ram, the cd rom is good, as i tried it in another machine, the mobo is good as i brought it back and got another one, the hard drive is good as i put it in my other machine as well. I also checked all cables, and changed them out. The only two things i can think of is that all the hard drives ive tried in it are older styles, might i need to get Udma or Sata to work with this board, also would the processor cause this problem if it was bad? Thanks for any help

are your copies of windows standard (non-oem) and full installs? or are they upgrades or did they come with another computer?

They are both full installs, I work in a networking department and we get full install versions, Ive used both the win2k and XP cds since trying to install on the new machine and both times i was able to install the os's

I know it looks like it would be a problem with the cds, but both have worked after tying to install. Could RAM cause this problem, i just bought the 512 stick, and normally when ive seen ram go bad i get a black screen at boot up and cant do anything
