I have my girlfriend's computer to do a reformat, so i repartitioned, then formatted, all went well, i get to the XP install scree, it says 39 minutes remaining, about 30 seconds later I get a message something to the effect of, "Fatal Error: unable to read/install I/O device drivers" if i change the cd to a different cd drive it gives a message something to the effect of "disk dirty". I've tried copying the I386 folder to the hard drive, but for some reason I cannot explore the cd, I can do D: dir and it will show me what's there, but if i do D:\i386 it says bad command name, same issue when trying the alternate CD-rom drive. Any and all suggestions are appriciated. Thanks in advance.
