When nLite gets about 90% done on copying the files from my xp pro disk it freaks out and starts spouting errors about bad data on the disk.   I can only assume this is due to a corrupt disk, as I have tried to install the OS directly and get installation errors midway through. Is there any way of getting a new disk (yes, I do have a CD key) or just the files short of getting it off of the Pirate Bay.  Also, if I do find a disk, does it matter what SP it is?  I have heard of people having issues using a SP 2 era key (which I have) with an SP 3 disk. Thank you for your help EDIT:  managed to get nLite to "complete" copying the files by continiously clicking ok on errors, 14 files did not copy.  no ideas on the file names
