It's time to start checking your hardware.
First up, borrow a known working cd-rom from a friend and try the install with that.

Check your ram. The biggest majority of (hardware caused) setup problems is because a portion of the ram in defective.

It's time to take up Carl's suggestion and test your memory.
Go here : http://www.simmtester.com/ and download the memory tester to a floppy and run it. Also please post your specs. |
