Installation errors
Microsoft has released several updates to the Windows operating systems. Most people prefer Windows XP operating system for their home use. Occasionally you might encounter several problems during the Windows installation process. When the Windows operating system is incapable of installing properly, it will commonly tell the user during the installation process. Sometimes Windows completes the installation process successfully but fails to run properly.
Perform clean boot
To start installing the Windows operating system perform a clean boot of your computer. This process will prevent the outdated driver software, start up programs and setting from loading. These might be causing you to receive an error message. After the clean boot, run the msconfig wizard then choose the selective startup option. When the start up window appears, uncheck all the program boxes and then restart your computer system. After performing these steps, you can try to reinstall the Windows operating system.
Before the installation process check that the CD that contains the Windows operating system is clean and not scratched or dirty. A scratched installation CD is the major cause of most file copy errors encountered while the Windows set up program is running. Clean the installation CD with a soft cloth. After cleaning the CD reinsert it into your computer’s drive and start the set up process.
