I built a Pc and have a clean hard drive in it and am
having trouble installing xp home. I partitioned the 120
gb Hard dirve into 3 sections. One 3.5 GB Primary DOS
Partition and one 116.5 GB Secondary dos Partition. I
divided the secondary dos partition into 2 logical DOS
drives, One 25 GB and one 91.5 GB. I formated each drive
(C, D, and E) Using the "Format" Command on the system
disk. I stuck The windows xp home edition CDROM in the
disk drive and restarted the computer. My Boot sequence
Is Floppy, CDROM, Hard Disk 0 so it loaded the setup
program upon restart. I selected the install windoes xp
command and proceeded to select C: , The Primary dos
partition and it installed windows partway. It said to
restart and that installation would continue when the
computer was restarted. I restarted the computer and when
it tried to start windows i got the error message
"THE FOLLOWING FILE IS MISSING OR CORRUPT.
<WINDOWS ROOT>\SYSTEM32\NTOSKRNL.EXE
PLEASE REINSTALL A COPY OF THE ABOVE FILE"
I tried installation again after reformating the C: drive
and the same thing happened.
If anybody knows how to correct this problem please post a
message or email me at (e-mail address removed)
