problem copying files

[darylnico]

i just finished reformatting my pc, and when windows(xp) starts to copy files to be used on my hard disk, the error "can't read from source" comes up. sometimes its shell.dll or something that cannot be copied, the file changes with every restart i make. i switched cd roms and cd installers but the same problem always comes up.

any ideas on this one?

These disks ARE legal, right? Have you ever installed XP on this machine before, without problems?

its legit, and ive used the same cd on 3 different pc's and it works. i used it before on this machine, but it seems to have that problem now.

got it to work now, changed the memory card, dunno what the connection is but is working now. tried to insert the old memory after installation and the system always crashes at startup.

I dont know what PC you are using either its SATA for the Hard Drives or the IDE either one.. try chaning the SATA or the IDE cables around what i meant is take the CDROM IDE Cable and put it on the Hard Drive.. try if that works..
