This error message happens DURING THE WINDOWS INSTALLATION, its an error
message about a file ON THE WINDOWS CD! I just can't stand when people
have these all knowing to solutions that waste people's time and energy.
No wonder Microsoft is so messed up. I'm buying a mac .

I told you that would make jbear switch. Now we can all go back to normal
usage and assisting. *whew*

This May 2005 conversation (yeah - 2005 - that is not a typo):
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support/browse_frm/thread/fd373c1493e11e1/

Using techarena.in, eh? Explains it. ;-)

Know that switching to a mac, you are not eliminating issues, just bringon
on new issues and with less of a user base, thus less
commonality/troubleshooting going on. ;-)

(I own two macs and work with them frequently - I have no trouble with them
personally - love them in many ways. Just hate when people assume their
troubles will disappear if they switch to a different OS... sad.)

Nobody cares about your "me too" post to a /*58-MONTH OLD*/ thread. Next
time check the datestamps. For help on YOUR problem *now*, start a NEW
thread and provide the details for YOUR setup.

Thank you for choosing a Mac. You can go bother them now.

A leech site pretending to have forums by running a webnews-for-dummies
interface that submits improperly formatted posts through a gateway to
Usenet (aka newsgroups).


--- Posting Hints ---

ALWAYS REVIEW your message before submitting it. You want someone OTHER
than yourself to understand your post. Also remember that no one here is
looking over your shoulder to see at what you are pointing. If you don't
well explain your situation by providing the details that you already know,
don't expect others to know what is your situation. Explain YOUR computing
environment and just what actions you take to reproduce the problem.

Often you get just one chance per potential respondent to elicit a reply
from them. If they skip your post because you gave them nothing to go on
(no details, no versions, no OS, no context) then they will usually move on
to the next post and never return to yours.

What is Usenet (aka newsgroups):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usenet
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newsgroups
http://www.masonicinfo.com/newsgroups.htm
http://www.mcfedries.com/Ramblings/usenet-primer.asp

When using a webnews-for-dummies interface, like Microsoft's Communities or
Google Groups or a forum-to-Usenet proxy, those are gateways to leech from
Usenet or to provide web-based access for Usenet-ignorant users. Despite
the appearance of a forum, you are still participating in Usenet.

How to post to Usenet (aka newsgroups):
http://66.39.69.143/goodpost.htm
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375
http://users.tpg.com.au/bzyhjr/liszt.html
http://www.mugsy.org/asa_faq/getting_along/usenet.shtml

Regarding error or status messages:
- Do NOT omit the message.
- Do NOT describe the message.
- Do NOT summarize the message.
- Do NOT paraphrase the message.
- Do NOT truncate the message.
- Do show the ENTIRE message (but munge or star out personal info,
like your username in an e-mail address but not the domain).
- Provide sufficient context under which the error occurs or how to
reproduce it.

How to quote correctly:

Never use quoted-printable or HTML format when posting to Usenet.
Always post using plain text. Wrap lines at 76 characters, or less.

If the hard disk is dead you will still see this message. I asume it may be
the cd drive too. I will investigate it and post in this microsoft forum.

This error occurs due to two reasons.
1. bad hard disk
2. bad cd drive
