Please see the details below. I had an original OEM CD
purchased with the kit of parts for the PC and have since obtained a further CD that I know works as it's been installed on a friend's PC. I still can't get the damn OS to load and continue to get the same message, i.e. Error: SXS.DLL:Syntax error in manifest or policy file "D:\I386\asms\10100\MSFT\WINDOWS\GDIPLUS\GDIPLUS.MAN" on line 4 Error: Installation failed  :\I386\asms. Error message: Acomponent's file does not match the verification information present in the component manifest. etc, etc. I've taken the system apart and re-built it with minimum componenents and still no luck. Could there be something else at fault other than the CD? ---------------------------------------------------------- Your particular error message is indicative of a bad CD burn and /or a corrupt file image. To correct the problem, use an authentic, original, Microsoft Windows XP installation CD. If that's what you have, then get a replacement.

You are lucky: in my case it stopped with VCRT.MAN (in
folder \asms\6000\). I have already seen several time the story regarding "original" CDs. Same as you: mine is an original one comming from MSDN Universal. If I can't get a solution via this Newsgroup, I will open a case at MS support. After all, it is included in the price. Good Luck ! >-----Original Message----- >Please see the details below.

Thanks for the tip Shenan. I've tried two different
drives which I know to be OK as I took them out of my old PC. I do though have a new HD - could that be at fault? >-----Original Message----- >Keith <keith-(E-Mail Removed)> wrote: >> Please see the details below.

Yes, I have tried with another CD Drive. I have also
installed a different drive. No way. I even tried to disconnect the second hard disk and CD-ROM drive (thus, having one hard disk and one CD-ROM drive only). At the same time, I removed the sound card and Pinnacle DV 500 (video editing), keeping only the graphic card and the network card. No chance. Grrrr... The worse: the CD-ROM perfectly works on another machine !! >-----Original Message----- >DSchmassmann <dschmassmann_@_span.ch> wrote: >> You are lucky: in my case it stopped with VCRT.MAN (in >> folder \asms\6000\). >> I have already seen several time the story >> regarding "original" CDs.

Try playing with the BIOS settings for the CDROM drive.
Instead of going with the autodetected settings, try manually setting DMA. >-----Original Message----- >Yes, I have tried with another CD Drive. I have also >installed a different drive. No way.
