soak it in alcohol then lightly brush it with a brillo pad, that should do it

brillo pad?! what? As far as I know, that's what you wanna do to a cd when you feel like destroying it for no reason what so ever. Brillo pads are really rough and would destroy it for sure. Do not use a brillo pad and do not "soak" it in alcohol.

if there was a scratch i MIGHT think about doing that. try booting it in another drive. your drive might have some issues. you could always get another cd from microsoft.

if you are getting a single error on a file it can't be the connections. the drive wouldn't work at all if that was the case. try to read the file by itself on another computer. if it still comes up as an error it could be a defect in the disk, posibly warped and corrupted bit or two. if you can read the file on another comp, try making a copy of the CD useing some of the guides that are out there on the net, look for a SP1 slipstream guide. if the file is not readable i would say send it back to microsoft for a new one.

It looks like either the CD can't load the files to disk (Harddisk) or you have a memory issue where the files can't be loaded into memory. Thats not a CD error.

Its your Harddisk or memory, check if all your memory is accounted for when booting and that the BIOS *sees* your Harddisk

PS: who else thinks that ntkrnlmp.exe actually looks like NT Kernel Lamp :p as ifd he's trying to switch the light on whee :rofl: :woot:

it's a problem with the ntkrnlmp.exe file on your disk, get a black sharpie and make a small dot about 1 inch from the right side of the disk, don't make it too big or you'll screw up your partition table, that should make it load fine, i've done it lots of times here at my sys admin job

just try to check your memory, I had same troubles 2 weeks ago at work. The problem came from a 256 Mb memory module that was defective, and the other one was OK. I just removed the bad one and everything went OK.

im gonna try ur idea now, i have 2 slots of 256 mb DDR ram.

Oddy See,

If I were you I would not listen to a word this crack brained Not_A_Virus dude is saying. He is full of [expletive] and the advice he is giving you would ruin your CD, and probably void any warranty from Microsoft.

Not_A_Virus: Get a clue. Either help out or shut up. In either case, quit being an ass. The guy is obviously having trouble - why make his life even worse, by pretending to know what you are talking about? If you do know what you are talking about...well then you are one sorry human being aren't you.

use Winamp to debug the install disc, then Ad-aware should be able to install from the 3.5 floppy

I guess I was supposed to laugh?

Sorry but I cannot resist the bait....

Here is a good one: why don't you get the sharpie, paint a mustache on your face, brush it lightly (or not) with a brillo pad, then rub a little alcohol on it. I know it's all in reverse order from your perscriptions, but I bet you the results will be hot!

PS: Careful not to blast Brittney Spears from your WinAmp while you do this....the results could be less than predictable and Ad-Aware could fail to see the mischief.

For CD repair I read on a site about toothpaste and a soft lint free cloth. So I read it on a few sites and said "I'll try that" cuz my Starcraft CD had like wear and tear and well... ah at least the cd won't get tartar, or gingavitus. I think toothpaste would only work on really uber small scratches.

Not_a_Virus:get a life man that isn't funny man.

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      Those people that come over here on boats are already in a safe country, if they want to come over here then do so correctly though the right channels. I was born in the U.K, my family that came over here came so via the proper means. My partner came here via the correct channels, she also became a British citizen, she knows more about this country than most of them that was born here, including myself, she worked hard to do what she does. She will stick up for this country and have done a few times, when people from her own part of world have put the U.K down. We are not going to agree, all I said to start with is that maybe Trump has the right idea with this America first thing and maybe we should start doing the same. Maybe not as drastic as what he is doing, but we do need to sort this country out, we need to sort out tech instead of relying on the U.S and others. Again you have not shown why you are so annoyed that we have left the E.U and this is what it is all about? If you don't live in the U.K and live in the E.U are you annoyed that we left your little club? If you live in the U.K and is pro-E.U, then fair enough then I can see how it annoys you. Are you one of these people who lives in the U.K and have a holiday chalet in the E.U and can now only stay there for so long? If so, then that is bad luck. As I have posted before, I have no problem with people coming here to work, as long as they do if via the proper channels. We are out of the E.U, people voted out, and maybe if more people had voted instead of sitting on their backsides the results would have been different. But they like the E.U and our government thought no we would not vote to leave. How wrong they were, surprised me. I expected to wake up in the morning and hear on the radio that we voted to stay. As I said, we are out and have been for 10 years, we are not going to go back in anytime soon if we ever do, so we all need to make the best of how things are. Anyway, this is supposed to be a tech site.

      Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D
