Upgrade to XP Pro cannot copy videoprt.sy_

[Guest]

I have tried to update Windows XP Home to XP prof. I get an error message
saying that it cannot copy videoprt.sy_ to $WINNT$.~BT if l skip this file
the installations continues but after a reboot it comes up with the message
VGA.SYS is corrupt and the install terminates.

I have tried copying the Windows disk to the hard drive, but although the
start screen appears l cannot get the install routine to run.

I have tried the windows disk upgrade on an old computer and it works fine.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank You.
