I tried to setup xp pro with a clean install. and now recieve this error
message.



Error:
Installation failed: D:\I386\asms. Error Message : The parameter is
incorrect

**

Fatal Error:
One of the components that windows need to continue setup could not be
installed

The parameter is incorrect.




How can this be resolved and what went wrong?
 
I dont know how to copy from a cd to a drive without the use of the os.
(help for future ref, would be appreciated.)
so what I did was I installed a different CD-ROM in replacement of the IBM
CD-RW drive that was there.
So far It has been working find. no errors.
Thanks Eric I appreciate you help.

The problem you encountered is common with a damaged disk or a bad copy of
XP. You solved you problem by changing to a different CD reader which
indicates that the CD-Rom was the culprit. Perhaps it is dirty.

As for installing XP from the hard drive take this link to a google search I
did on the issue http://tinyurl.com/2mlsu
