If there are no scratches/ marks on the Windows XP CDROM, try using a lens cleaner disc on your CD Drive, that normally does the trick.

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. |

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.

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.

Press any key to exit 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  as ifd he's trying to switch the light on whee

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
