Installing XP on a SATA Hard Drive

[Racason3]

I am trying to Install Win. XP on an ACER computer Pentium 4 with a new Western Digital SATA hard drive. I have 3 good copies of Win. XP all the same key. When I Install it formats the drive with NTFS no problem. When it starts copying files I get to 93% and I get the blue screen that says "Setup can not copy the file: pro_seg5.swf" if I skip the file I get the same message on the next file "tourW.exe" and so on. I have tried all 3 copies even one that I never use with the same results.  Where am I going wrong. Any advice is greatly appreciated......Thank You

Copies of an XP CD are the most common issue of the results you are getting...
Time to go legit i'd say....

Errors during setup that say "cannot copy file" usually point to a dirty CD or CD DRIVE.
