WinXP will not install

[Phil]

My apologizies for sending a blank post. Now I know why I didn't get a
response. a....duuhhhh!!!

O.K. Now, I have XP Pro that was previously installed on my computer (Dell
Dem. 4300). I had problems reinstalling it and once I did, it didn't go
will.

Fatal errormessage: ONE OF THE COMPONENTS THAT WINDOWS NEEDS TO CONTINUE
SETUP COULD NOT BE INSTALLED
Fatal error message: INSTALL FAILED D:\I386 ASMS ERROR PERFORMING IN PAGE
OPERATION or
Data error: (CYCLIC REDUDANCY CHECK)

Since then I have reformatted the hard drive and started clean, but to no
avail I'm back to the same error message.

Question: Was or is there any way that I could get the files needed, say
from the C:\ drive since the system had Windows installed on it already or
from Microsoft website and download to a disk and access the files I need
from there.

Any useful information on this would greatly be appreciated. Real

The message CYCLIC REDUDANCY CHECK is a hardware error. You didn't say
where the install media resides, but it usually is a CD drive. Hence,
either the CD drive is bad, the media is bad, the hard drive is bad, or any
combination of these possibilities. I wonder if it is likely that a CRC
error would occur during a write.

If you have another computer handy, you try reading the media in it. (Just
try getting a folder listing).

I suppose it's Win Media11 which is installed have installed.
I also have Realplayer, which I have made my default media.
Could this be part of the problem?

Yes, D:\ is the CD drive.
I also have a DVD/CDROM E:\ drive and tried to install it from it, and the
same results or error messages.
There were no CRC errors that came during failed installation attempts.

That statement contradicts what your original post contains.
