Please do not start a second post on an existing topic.
And you're still not telling us what you're doing when
trying to re-install WinXP. Are you running the CD from
within Windows, or are you booting off the CD?
Remember - we can't see what you're doing!

The module referenced doesn't seem to be a standard part of an XP
i386 source. Is this CD an OEM disk for a specific brand PC ? Have
you checked the surface of the disk for smudges and scuff marks ?

You can't. Boot the machine with your WinXP CD.

Just wanna say thank you to Pegasus(MVP) & R. McCarty for taking time to
answer my post. I will just reformat and start new. Thanks again

You can't install XP while XP is running. You need to boot *from* the CD
to install.
