I am having trouble while trying to install Windows XP Service Pack 2 to a
freshly formatted hard disk drive. The installation prompts for the location
for cmprops.dll or cmprops.dl_, and I have tried many different locations,
including HDD C: ie C:\ C:\windows\ C:\windows\system32\ C:\i836\ and DVDRW
D: ie D:\ D:\windows\ D:\windows\system32\ or the default location of D:\i836
on the DVDRW drive. Why doesn't the installation know where to find the
files? Does anyone know which directory to point the windows installation to?

Stats of my computer
Motherboard: ECS KN1 Extreme with bios 1.0c
RAM: 2 x 512MB of PQI brand DDR3200
Processor: AMD Athlon XP 3000+ 939pin
HDD: Maxtor 6L300R0 IDE133 attached to Primary Master
Optical: Plextor IDE PX-712 DVD-RW attached to Secondary Slave

I did a Zero-write using maxblast software, because the hard drive was
previously used in a different computer, then formatted the hard drive with
the windows cd, then the installation ran and it got stuck at this point.
