Upgrading from 98 to XP

I am choosing to upgrade rather than a clean install. When the setup
reaches the Install section after rebooting, an error message appears
which says file c:\$win_nt$.~ls\i386\asms is not the same as install
file. It also says that there is a santax error on line 21 of c:\same
as above\6000\msft\vcrtl\vcrtl.man. Thanks for any help.
 
Are you using an authentic Microsoft Windows XP CD
with the edge-to-edge hologram image? Or are you
using a copied Windows XP CD? If the later, you
probably have a bad/incomplete CD burn.

To resolve this issue, use another Windows XP CD-ROM
to install Windows XP. If this option is not available to you,
contact the Microsoft Order Desk to order replacement media
from Microsoft.

I am using the edge-to-edge hologram CD. I could try to use the XP cd
that came with my dell, but it is pretty old.
