Installing xp on existing machine that was running 98.
Installing full version of xp, not oem or upgrade. Upon
installation, get through formating hard drive. Files
start copying, gets to shell32.dll(about 2%) and I get an
error message that it cannot read from source - skip,
retry, or exit setup. Every time shell32.dll. Tried 3
CDs, on 2 different hard drives, and even tried
installing off of 2 different cd drives. No matter what
combination i use it always has the error on shell32.dll.

I have been working on this for days, and would
appreciate any help that could be provided.
 
i had this same problem when trying to reinstall windows
xp. it turned out to be a problem with the memory. test
your memory using memtest86 and c what it comes up with!
im not saying for certain its your memory at fault but it
could be the first place to start!! =}
