Hope someone can help.
Installing XP prof. on a new SATA Hitachi 250GIG is proving to be
impossible!!
During installation, I get error messages that Setup cannot copy the
file cmprops.dl_, many other files. Now I know these files are on the
cd i386 directory but the setup simply refuses to see them.
Googling shows a lot of people have had this problem and as ususal
with windows, the people that have managed to resolve it report many
different solutions!
One solution is that there could be a problem with the HD master boot
record. I suspect that this might be my problem. When I run the
setup,
the total disk space shown is 238473MB. Is this the correct value for
a 250gig drive? If not how can I delete the hidden partition?
All help greatly received.
Cheers
