Btownstg3 said:I am having trouble installing this on a PC that already was running windows XP....
First off- I did something really stupid and rather than burning to a CD I just mounted the iso to a virtual drive and began the installation...
Installer started up just fine.
'Please enter serial #...' tried the first one from this thread and it worked and it began installing
It said estimated time was 52 minutes so I went into the other room. When I came back about 30 minutes later I realized the PC was still running but it wasn't sending a signal to the monitor.
I restarted the pc and it brought me to MS Dos style blue screen with Windows Setup in the upper left corner.
"please insert windows xp disk'
That's when i realized I f'd up. so I quickly burnt a disk with my laptop and put it in the pc and setup began copying files...Now here is my problem
message says 'Cannot copy file **********' for multiple files, Enter to retry, Esc to quit, F3 to exit setup
after i skip 3 of the files the system crashes and I get the blue screen of death and have to restart the PC.
I have tried everything!! every option it gives me; Repair, Safe Mode, Skip, Canceling, Retrying etc... nothing helps any suggestions??
Hi,
Please wipe your hard disk then try installing it again.
Good luck.
