personally if you have already bought the windows disk then just download another off of a torrent site but use your key its not like stealing coz you have actually purchased your key and thats what microsoft actually care about.

Its not the XP CD mate he said he copied it and used the other disc fine to do a repair, this is obviously a hardware issue, I'm thinking that the new hdd might be dodgy, he hasn't commented on the heat issue yet so we cant rule that out yet.
just how much data are we talking about ? try transferring a few files and see if they go OK,
I'm thinking that this may be a hardware issue too. My guess is the hard drive or motherboard. Would reformatting the hard drive help in any way, or should I just go out and replace the parts?
Copying such ammount causes the PC to be unstable for some reason. Everytime I did that, it happens, and the problem isn't from hardware. It's a sort of flaw.
It also happens when you want to get a big file from FTP transfering.
