The ASMS folder is currupted? It is fixable with a HACK without turning it
Pirated.
1. Copy all directories of the currupted Windows XP CD except the i386 folder.
2. Copy the i386 directory from another CD-ROM with the same edition onto the Hard Drive
3. Copy the i386 directory from the currupted CD-ROM with everything except the ASMS folder.
4. Burn it on to a CD-R.
If you are doing a installation without burning a CD-R, skip steps 1 and 4. To boot, you need floppy disks at

http://www.allbootdisks.com/download/xppro.html for Professional.
I did this on Professional but Home Edition may work.
