I am currently doing a third installation of windows xp using the upgrade cd. I am using a brand new hard drive,updated BIOS, all my hardware is good to go for windows xp,I verified my ownership of a previous and approved windows os and did a clean install of xp(previous operating system was on my old hard drive and was formatted and will be used as a secondary hard drive).
During all these installations I keep getting the same old messages. These files could not be copied to the installation folders for some reason: tsbvcap.sys, tsbyuv.dll,usbcamd.sys,usbcamd2.sys.
I had the computer up and running but it keeps on crashing and will not let me get past the page where microsoft scans for updates. It also will not let me install some other software that I use (crashes during installation).
My memory is good, motherboard is good, hardware is good, no other programs on the harddrive because it's new.
If anyone knows of these problems and how to fix them please reply.

Somebody more knowledgable than me will probably chip in and say I am
barking up the wrong tree, but one thing that occurs to me is that if
you are using an Upgrade CD, then you need to install whatever the
previous OS was before you can use the XP upgrade? You do not say you
did this, but quote from above - "did a clean install of xp".

Thanks Kath. I tried the upgrade the first time on my old hard drive. I was using ME.
I did a little more homework last night and think I have found the problem, I hope this will help anyone else that's having this problem during installation of XP.
I installed some "new" RAM that I purchased on eBay. Of course I couldn't install it before the 7 day return because of a nice little hurricane that hit us that weekend. Apparently the ram is more than likely the problem.
Listed causes for this lack of copying files is: dirty cd-rom drive,scratched or dirty installation cd, bad RAM. I will clean the cd-rom drive and try it once more and if that doesn't work i'll take out the RAM and install some continuity strips in those RIMM sockets. I'll post a follow-up after I try this and let everyone know what worked. Thanks for the help.
