New Installation - File copy error ? ? ?

I am installing Win2K Pro from a new CD, purchased today. The installation is halted becasue of file copy error. Ex: "The file ntdsa.dll was not copied correctly." The the rest of this message reads, " The file Setup placed on your hard drive is not a valid Windows 2000 system image., or there may be problems with the Windows 2000 CD."
The reason I purchase this new Win2K CD was that I was having problems copying from my old CD. I did a fresh format before I started the installation. Any suggestions??

Thanks - Henry

PS - Now on this install, it wants me to insert, "CD with Servic Pack 1". The new CD is suppose to have SVPK 2 included.

I would run a lens cleaning CD in the CD drive, and then check/swap the RAM and run diags on the hard drive.

Download diag software from the hard drive manufacturer.

what would the lens cleaning do, wouldnt it be much better to use compressed air.
