I've run a CD check in Nero, and i got 99.61% good, 0.39% damaged. Is that enough to cause these errors?

I tried with another optical drive, but it was the same problem, and the problem started with the same file, so I don't think its an optical drive problem. I have tried with an XP without SP2 CD, and I still got errors...what could it be?

I have tried 2 ram sticks seperately, and it made no change. SO I think It will be my CD drive? I don't know why that would make it skip at the same point every time though...

I'm getting Nero at the moment, so when I've tried that I'll give you a shout

I'll buy a new ram module tomorrow, a good one like a 256Mb Corsair, but I don't have much money...I don't have any way to test my processor, but it has a thermalright XP-90 and its saying ~35C in the BIOS, so I don't think its a temperature thing. It could be damaged some other way, but I don't know how to tell...

I think i made a mistake, I have only formatted through windows setup, there is no option to do a low level format in my BIOS....how can I do one?

I've done a full NTFS format, yes, and I've not overclocked. I tried different CD drives also with no luck. I'll try on another computer later tonight and get back to you...any more ideas? I'll try anything :|

I'm trying to install XP Home with SP2 OEM (purchased n one CD, not a slipstream) but I am getting copy errors saying some files cannot be copied or are copied incorrectly, starting with cyycoins.chm. It says it could be a CD error, but I've swapped the CD with a normal XP one, and tried different drives, and different hard drives, and now I don't know what to do! Here are my specs: AMD 3500+ S939 Abit Fatality AN8 Maxtor 200Gb Sata 2x512Mb Geil Value Ram Readon X800XT Please help
