Try using a third party boot CD to wipe the drive next... you could use Hirens Boot CD, DBAN (my fav), or other boot CD that has the option to thoroughly format the drive.

Did that not work?

Is your install cd scratched?

Also, try unplugging non-essential parts from the motherboard (e.g. PCI cards)

no the cd is ok i dnt know what else to do nothing is plug to the board in the pci slots

I also notice when am doing an install it always stops at copying driver.cab all the time now could it be something on the boaqrd that's messed up?

I ran into a similar problem once where install would always hang at the same point while copying files. I tried everything I could think of without luck. I finally tried a different optical drive and the install completed without issue. Do you have a spare optical drive you could try?

I tried toi run memtest86 on the pc an it keeps freezeing at lil 50% each time i try.. am running it with 1 ram a time

Try what Strollin said by getting another optical drive and see if that works.
