Installing Windows xp, certain files cant be copied?

[Guest]

Im installing a copy of windows xp pro, during istall of files i keep getting
these messages saying cant install file this or that for example and this is
one of the files cant install file wpdusb.sys press enter to retry. I try the
retry but it does not install the file. It does this on lots of different
files. I have the option to press esc and skip the file but I dont think this
is a good idea. WHy is this happening. I tried formatting the HDD, I tried
upgrading from win me. same issues when trying to install xp pro. I have two
copies and no its not the disk. Can you tell me what is going on

If it isn't the disc, it's probably your CD-ROM drive...

no, they are actually brand new disc's in the box from microsoft. Not copies
or anything else
