Windows Won't Install?
Last response: in Systems
I'm installing windows XP Pro SP2 on an old emachines and with 29 mins remaining, just after it asks if the computer is part of a "workgroup", where I then click "NO", i get the following message:
"Some files on Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 are needed. Insert Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 disk into the drive below"
the drive reads "D:\i386"
I can't get past this stage unless I hit cancel. It then pops up a few more times before the installation is complete. When Windows boots up, it seems to be an incomplete install because icons are missing on the desktop and internet explorer never installed. I thought that perhaps the disk was scratched up and couldn't be read so thats why I got the error.
I then formatted the HD and installed a new fresh XP Pro SP3 disk and got the same error again in the same spot! What is causing this? Any ideas? Thank you for the help!
