code3x Posted September 24, 2001 Share Posted September 24, 2001 I'm trying to install Windows XP 2600 eval (patched with corpfiles, made bootable), but every time it seems to crash while copying 'driver.cab' at 27%. The same CD worked fine to install it on this computer, so what could be the problem?I'm booting from the CD in case that makes any difference.Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FthrJACK Posted September 24, 2001 Share Posted September 24, 2001 Maybe the boot part of the drive is damaged, i made discs a while ago that would only install to a point, it turned out in the end that my Cd burner was about to pack up, i just got a new one today and it burns XP CD's perfectly, from the same file i used before. try use a different Cd burner or borrow a disc off a friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZsasZ Posted September 25, 2001 Share Posted September 25, 2001 ...or the disc itself could be damaged, in which case the same suggestions apply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted September 25, 2001 Share Posted September 25, 2001 You know...I get errors like this every time I try to install a new version of XP on my machine and I don't even use a disk...Isobuster. Because it is not a clean install, I can usually go find the file in the old installation and the d/l continues but I have no idea what that is doing to my newer install. I will be watching this post for any other suggestions...interesting.Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
code3x Posted September 26, 2001 Author Share Posted September 26, 2001 Thanks guys, I tried burning 2 copies on 2 different burners, and still the same thing happends. However, if I install 98 first, and install XP from within 98, it all goes perfectly...hmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
