re-install xp prof problem

[Guest]

Trying to reformat my hdd, single partition. During the setup stage, at times
it will give a message that it "cannot copy 'verdana.ttf' file . Oher time
after I re-try it will give a different message 'cannot copy processr.sys
file'. Some times when I restart witht he cd rom inside the drive, it will
sat 'ntldr' missing.
Any idea whay is this happening. Could it be due to the power problem?
Please advice, thanks

Power problem? Is there something more that we should know in order
to help you solve this?

Run the powermax test and passed but still get the same problem. By chance,
decided to try on the new hdd and it goes smoothly to full installation. Many
thanks for the suggestions
