Problem while Copying files during windows xp installation

[eshtog]

everytime i try to install windows I get a cannot copy some file error anyone know why this is happening?

 

[eshtog]

whawas press esc to skip the file I will probably have problems later right?

if it is a burned copy try it from the cdrw drive

or if the cd is scratched try cleaning it really good

these are the most common reasons it wont copy

you might try it with the copy files to hdd option as this works too

hope this helps

overclocking can cause this too

if it's a lite-on, try some new firmware as well

It may be as I now I tried to make a backup of a windows 98se dsik once and had similar problems....It may have been copying procedure....

I know I have heard of ppl copying it successfully so there must be away around it....

Just get a legit copy!!!😉

I had same problem as mentioned above once...smudge on underside of disk...

Also I installed off of my liteon 16x48 and it runs fine...maybe he meant one of the newer liteon cd-rw drives.

Trying to install from an admitted illegal copy. I'm surprised this hasn't been locked.
