I keep trying to install Windows XP (tried both professional & home edition)
and when it starts checking my system, it gives me the following error (the
error comes when it is checking (which is the 4rth messsage on bottom of
window), "Setup is loading files (Kernel DLL)".

I then get the error message "File setupdd.sys could not be loaded. The
error code is 4. Setup cannot continue. Press any key to exit"

I have searched high and low to find Error Code 4 in microsoft's web page
and have found nothing. Can anyone help me?
