    How many times have you reinstalled already?

    Off the top of my head a buddy had the windows setup program corrupted, ended up having to reinstall windows in a new directory and then clean up all that old crap, hope someone comes up with a better answer than that though.

    Well, let's figure out as much as we can here first. Have you ran CHKDSK lately? Go to BIOS to make sure nothing is configured incorrectly.
    To all my freaks out there: HOLLA if ya hear me.

    Is this stuff coming off a CD/CDR?

    If so...copy or run the installer off your CDRW drive...even if it's a stamped CD..run it off the CDRW drive. Or copy the files from the CDRW drive to the HD.

    Worked for this funky older PC I installed XP Pro on....
