Installing xp pro, was about 7 minutes left on it (formatted the hd to
NTFS), and had an accidental power cord unplugged. So it was almost done.
Tried to restart and I am getting nothing but corrupted file errors. I'm
booting to the cd-rom and the initial copy files portion is as far as I get.
It seems to be a different file each time.

I'm given no option to just start over.

Am I screwed here, or just keep going until it finds no more corrupted
files?
 
You'll need to start over.
