Problem loading OS onto new build.

[JohnInFlorida]

System as follows:
Antec III w/Earthwatts EA500D
CPU - AMD|PH II X2 550 AM3 3.1G RT
MB - GIGABYTE | GA-MA770T-UD3P
MEM - 2Gx2|GSK F3-10600CL9D-4GBNT R
VGA - XFX HD-485X-YDFC HD4850 512M RT
HD - 160G|ST 7K ST3160813AS
HD - 250G|ST 7K 8M SATA2 ST3250310AS

System posts and appears to be working, as I can enter bios setup, boot menu, etc.

Inserted XP disk and booted from cd ...

1st install of XP w/SP2, system would not copy the following files:
XPStartU.wav
per_intr.swf
per_seg1.swf
per_seg3.swf
per_seg5.swf
wmerrenu.dll
tourP.exe
xptht26D.jpg
p3.sys
ks.sys
modem.sys
win32k.sys
webcheck.dll
so they were skipped ...
The restart during install produced the following error:
Stop: c000021a

Tried to repair via Recovery Console, but it asked for a non-existent Admin password which I couldn't provide so I reformatted the HDs and tried to reinstall.

2nd attempt to install XP w/SP2, the system would not copy the following files:
p3.sys
ks.sys
modem.sys
parport.sys
shell32.dll
urlmon.dll
wldap32.dll
win32k.sys
ndisuio.sys
skipped again ...
and the restart during install produced the following error: Stop: c0000221 {Bad Image Checksum}
The image wow32.dll is possibly corrupt.

Any suggestions as to where I should go from here? What additional info can I provide to
assist you in pointing me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance,
John

Is it an original XP cd or a copy of one? If its a copy - use the original..

Couple specs of dust on the cd and or cd drive can cause the error's you've been getting.

EzyStvy ... Funny how one forgets basic stuff at 3am after fighting with something for hours ... yes, original disk solved the problem ... thanks for your help.
