I got this loading XP for the first time on a fresh formatted drive. I I tried the disk on several new drives and got the same error. I tried another disk and got the install to start again. I believe this to be a cd or bad XP install disk. What do you think? Bruce

That's a read error. You could try to clean your CD with a little soap and water. Gently.

I did just that with a soft rag and alcohol , which has helped with dirty cd's in the past. This came rigth out of the oem pack and into the drive with no prints and got that error.

I don't think I have to go that far, I put another oem cd in and it took off and finished the install. Bruce
