ASRock K7S8X Rev 3.0
Athlon XP2800
512Mb PC333 Major-on-3rd
Samsung 52x32x52 CDRW
Excelstor 80Gb 7200rpm HDD
Sparkle GeForce4 MX440 128Mb Graphics
When I try to install XP pro on the above I get file copy errors, if I swap the Windows Disc for another the offending file will copy but I get another file copy error further down the line. Swapping the disc again will get past this but after the machine reboots I get another error saying that a component could not be installed and the installation has been aborted. I have replaced every component and cable in this machine including:-
Processor, motherboard, RAM, CDRW, HDD, Graphics Card and PSU and nothing makes a difference.
Windows 98SE will install without a problem so I though perhaps my XP discs were getting a bit old, but having tried with a brand new original XP Home CD I got the same problems.
I have just tried installing XP as an upgrade and has similar problems, however, this time after I got the "installation aborted" error I left the machine switched off for a while, rebooted and setup went through OK (after one file-copy error which I resolved by swapping discs again). It is now running fine, but this machine is for a customer so I really need to know what was going on before I despatch it. Any ideas?
