Xp REinstall

[Frank]

I had a major crash on my XP pro. I totally reformatted my
hard drive and have tryed to reinstall XP pro. Each time
it does NOT install ALL the files it needs to complete it
and then wont work. During the install it says it con not
install certain files and I try 3 times to get it to
install it and then have to skip that file.

I tryed a friends copy of XP pro and it did the same
thing? HELP

Sounds like you're having a hardware issue, try making a flat directory and
using it to install.

Greetings --

You should first address the hardware problem that caused the
crash in the first place. The specific problem you're experiencing
during installation is most often caused by defective hardware; in
order of likelihood, either RAM, the hard drive, or the motherboard.
