Ok i was the one who had the problems with my computer shutting down during xp installs along with a number of blue screen errors during the coyp of files. I came to the conclusion it was my memory after running Mem Test 86 and another microsoft one.
I sent back memory, got a new one, and try installling again....
Everything goes great and i get pretty much further than i ever did befor in the install. About 25% way thru copying the files it says that some file is corrupt and it cannot be copied. My first thought was a scratched cd, so i copied it and tried again. Same thing. It almost seems random though at which file it says to be corrupted.
ANY IDEAS WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON???????
IS IT REALLY A PROBLEM WITH CD??? maybe cpu? hope not.
all i know is that its not hard drive or ram.
